Default Get Free Game copies, learn how to get a video game tester job

The week before that I got 2 free copies of games that hit stores next
month. I've already passed one of those games though, so I sold the
full version to my brother. I used to go out, buy games, pay monthly
subscriptions to play those games online... and now? I go to school, I
come home and I have games waiting for me in the mail months before
they get released.
I used to work for a coffee shop too. But I quit, I just didn't want to
be there... I don't work anymore. Well, I get paid, but I don't
consider it work - I beta test unreleased games, and report the bugs
that I find.
I "work" with unreleased games about 4 hours a day, sometimes less, and
my checks blow away what I used to get making coffee for others.
My mom tells everyone that I play games all day long. She's so proud.
No one ever understands why she's so happy about it.. but that's
because they don't know that her kid makes more money than his peers
plus he's doing what he loves.
It wasn't always this way though. I'd go to school, go to the coffee
shop, come home late, play games, wake up tired, and repeat everything
the next day. On top of that, I also had to save up to buy games, pay
monthly subscriptions to play those games, and spend hours looking for
cheat codes and guides.
One day I found a website that promised me that I would play games
online and get paid for it. The site charged $59.99 for the
information. So I paid. After I paid I found that the site was such
garbage, it was ridiculous... But the seed had been planted.
I started doing my own research and looking for jobs that would pay me
to test and play games. It took me 6 months and a lot of trial and
error -- mostly error. But I documented my adventures and the sites I
used.
The thing about these jobs is that the more people you tell, the more
people you have to compete with when these companies hire. So like an
ancient scroll I thought about burying my guide, not letting anyone
ever see it. But, my friends and my conscience convinced me to share
the guide.

LOL! Says it all really... The funny thing is, if you are actually
gullible enough to visit the site you'll find that they want to charge
you $59.99 (although there's a special offer on to buy their
"information" for $29.95 at the moment).

Do people actually fall for this rubbish? I guess they must do,
otherwise people like this wouldn't be spamming ng's all the time...
