aminshit Playing video or computer games is not at all a waste of time especially if you can find opportunities to earn from it. If you are a gaming enthusiast and you want to earn money while you play, you can actually find game testing jobs that allow you to play video or computer games and make money at the same time. If you are a video game enthusiast, read on for some tips on becoming a video game tester.Many people find this job fun and exciting, and of course, it is also fulfilling for game enthusiasts to enjoy their games and getting paid afterwards. However, you have to keep in mind that becoming a video game tester is not just something about fun. Gaming companies also screen their applicants/gamers and if you want to become one, you have to make sure also that you beat the competition with many people who also want to play and earn.
Of course, if you want to become someone who plays computer games while making money from it, you have to familiarize yourself with game testing. Video game testers are hired by gaming companies to detect bugs in their games before these are released, or even after they are released.

You will also need to hone your oral and written communication skills because you will be reporting about bugs, misspellings, crash down reports and other mistakes that the game developer would like to correct before releasing the game.
Although getting the job is not that quite tough, finding these companies that hire game testers may be a lot tougher. Indeed, in the online world where unscrupulous people are also taking advantage of other’s needs, you can’t get away from fraudulent hiring from people posing as game developers or companies wanting game testers. Thus, you have to be extra careful in finding game testing jobs.
If you knew a gaming company, you may want to visit their website directly. You may not find these jobs in the usual job listings site but there are directories that compile an updated list of game testing jobs.
You may also find hints from forums and social networking sites, but you have to be fast and quick as competition can be tough, as many people and gamers would love to have such a job filled with excitement and joy. Of course, it is also a great way to make money from something that you love doing.

Dog Games – Top 5 Games
May 24th, 2010 aminshit Playing dog games with your canine pet provides your beloved with his much needed physical and mental stimulation. This also gives you the benefit of reinforcing his obedience training in a fun way as you establish a deeper relationship with him.
However, not every dog is thrilled with playing ordinary fetch all the time especially if he is very intelligent. Many dog breeders, vets, and trainers agree that the best dog games are those that provide exercise and challenge accompanied with positive reinforcement by giving the animal a reward for accomplishing what you want.
FETCH When you’re dog has become tired of the basic throw-a-stick-give-it-back-to-me fetch he will refuse to play. To solve this problem, think out of the box and vary how you play the game with your dog.
Instead of using a stick, use a ball or his favorite toy then climb up the stairs. Throw the ball or toy gently then tell your dog to fetch the item.
This game is perfect for those winter or rainy days when you can’t take him out of the house. Be sure though that you’re dog already knows how to go up and down stairs.
BACKYARD TUNNELING Dogs love obstacle courses so this a game Fido will surely love. Not only is this a good mental exercise for him this game will also improve his agility.
You can set up tunnel in your backyard and coax your dog with his favorite treat to go through the tunnel. You can run along at the side of the tunnel or opt to wait at the other end just to convince Fido to follow you.
You can gradually add more obstacles to make it more fun. Although pre-made equipment is helpful, if you are creative enough I’m sure you can create a homemade backyard tunnel and obstacles at minimal cost.
HIDE AND SEEK This third in our list of dog games will give him a chance to put to use his scenting abilities as well as provide him with mental stimulation. You can opt to hide yourself or you can get one of his toys or a special toy just for this game and hide it at any safe place around your property.
Start easy then gradually make it more complicated for him to find hidden toys. This game is a great way to teach Fido how to find other objects as well.
FRISBEE CATCHING A modified form of the Fetch game this is a great way to teach Fido agility. Beware, this is an intensely physical game that is not recommended for old dogs.
To do this throw a Frisbee nearby until he learns that he must return the Frisbee to you. Gradually throw the thing farther and farther until he learns how to catch it.
The nice thing about this is you can opt to join Frisbee competitions with Fido if he gets really really good at this game.
SWIMMING The last in this list dog games is beneficial to his entire body not just his muscles. If you love swimming and there is someplace that you both can do this, why not swim with your dog?
Dog games not only allow you train your dog to do stuff this also helps to create a disciplined dog provided that whenever your dog does something good you use positive reinforcement and give him a reward. It’s also important that you make the rules and not the other way around, one way to establish this is to stop the game while the dog is still excited and not when he is already bored.
Top Ten Best Pen and Paper RPG Games
April 14th, 2010 aminshit Here is a list of the ten best pen and paper roleplaying games of all-time. Although there is no scientific way to prove the ‘best RPG games’ ever, this list takes into account the overall popularity of pen and paper roleplaying games since the industry was first created.
10 – Gamma World - It’s a post-apocalyptic game, but not in the style of Mad Max. This game fit more into the style of a science fantasy game. You could play all sorts of random mutant creatures, in addition to playing people that were mostly normal.
9 – Vampire the Masquerade - Some may argue which is the best World of Darkness product. But Vampire the Masquerade was the game that put White Wolf on the map. Vampire the Masquerade has also become the number Live Action Roleplaying Game in the world. Go LARP’ers!
8 – RuneQuest – This game was considered as one of the ‘Big Three’ at some point. The big three being D&D, Traveller, and RuneQuest. It provided a different setting and system than other fantasy roleplaying games at the time.
7 – Champions - Although it may no longer be the most popular comic-themed roleplaying game ever, this game has been around a long time since it was first published in 1981. The game set the stage for many other comic book and super hero related roleplaying games.
6 – Tunnels & Trolls - Right after D&D was T&T. Tunnels & Trolls was the second roleplaying game ever created. The game was created as an alternate, and hopefully easier to play, version of Dungeons & Dragons.
5 – GURPs - The Generic Universal RolePlaying System is able to adapt itself to any game environment. Any setting you can think of has been created for the system. Its creator, Steve Jackson, is one of the most well-known game designers in the industry because of this game.
4 – Star Wars - Based on the movies carrying the same name, the Star Wars Roleplaying Game was first created by West End Games using the d6 system. Eventually it moved on to other companies and saw some play time under the d20 system, and then finally the Saga Edition. It is the premiere sci-fi, or space opera, themed roleplaying game due to George Lucas dominating the minds of nerds all over the world.
3 – Traveller - Not as famous as its other space opera buddy, Star Wars. This game, however, did come out as a roleplaying system before George Lucas’s creation did. Traveller was first created in 1977 and has been going strong ever since. The game is definitely considered one of the ‘original’ RPGs.
2 – Call of Cthulhu – A unique entry into this list. This horror-based roleplaying game is based off of the works of H.P. Lovecraft. There really isn’t a popular, comparable game out on the market now. Instead, different gaming companies have chosen to create Call of Cthulhu in a variety of different systems under a variety of different publishers.
1 – Dungeons & Dragons - The most famous pen and paper roleplaying game of all time. This fantasy game still dominates the market with all of its various incarnations, from the original D&D to 4th Edition. D&D creators Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson are legends in the industry, just as the game itself is.
Some people may disagree with the overall placement of some of these games. Others may ask why certain games are even on here. Why haven’t other games been included, like Shadowrun, Robotech, Palladium Fantasy, Rifts, or many newer games? Well, they weren’t. This list was created by veteran gamers and apparently they had a little nostalgia in them. So what do you think of the list of best RPG games ever?
