So, I'm walking around a thrift store in Long Beach looking for bits and pieces of my Zabuza cosplay costume when I get a call from a 310 area code. Either a job or a client.

It was a job. So, I start today around 5 PM for the graveyard shift as a quality assurance technician (video game tester) for Activision.

I have a theory that I can never be unemployed for more than three months, and so far that has been true. Anyway, I'm running late for my financial aid appointment at ITT Tech.

That or tell us about the game too... we need to know it firsthand and see if any video game tester play either a suckest game ever or one of the coolest game ever. I mean... what I am saying is...

After you test those games, tell us what's so good and so bad about it, pretty please? (Also, could you get those game for free AND still get paid?)

See, in the adult world there are things like Non-Disclosure Agreements and Confidentiality Agreements that prevent me from telling you about any of the details of anything I do.

I get paid $9/hour as a full-time employee working from 5PM to 1:30AM Monday through Friday. At the end of whatever project I'm assigned to, we get a free copy of the game we worked on, AND our names appear in the credits for the game.

After three months, I'm eligible to start buying and receiving free games from Activision. Unfortunately, only those closest to me will know what game I'm working on, and NO ONE will know the details of any game I'm working on until after its release date.

During training yesterday, we played an E3 release of Blade II and an E3 release of X-Men II: Wolverine's Revenge, and some other game...

The area we work in is called the Dungeon because it's in the basement, but still cool. Laid back work environment in a medium to high-level security facility (we need key cards just to access doors and elevators), I love it!

That does sound kickass.

I'm glad you got the job Zabuza and that you like it. Nice pay too. And even though you can't tell us about the games until they come out, 'least we can know just how good they are. Whether to go right out and but it or rent it or something.

Well, they said that if it's on the website, we can post what we're working on. Just no details at all. That's what the website is for. My project:


Ultimate Spiderman...and the game kicks ass! But, that's all I can say about it. I find it funny that I work for the company that created the Soldier of Fortune game before I wrote a different Soldier of Fortune novellette.
