Everything I do is through the gui :)

cpm gui is soooooo ugle, i don't like it

in q3 ?

Apart from the basics like maxfps/refreshrate etc.

I found that when I obsessed over thing's like config's I was over looking my own fundamental mistakes.Patience is my in game weakness.

No cfg can change that.

thats true, but configs can help at other places

thank christ you're not a pro then

I made more money through gaming than most "pro-gamers".

That makes me a pro-gamer and closer to the definition of professional gamer if ever there was one.

kekekekekeke

Most of that money was making maps though correct?

A gamer is someone who makes hus money by playing the game not making stuff for it.

Yes and no. For 3 years I was employed as a game tester.
A job I got purely based on the skill/knowledge of a game called Killer Instinct.

And how much did you get for those three years? 75k?

If you got paid for playing killer instinct (or insert other game) then yes, you would be more of a pro gamer. If you got paid for testing games, then no you are not by any means a pro gamer, regardless of how you got your position as a game tester. Testing games/looking for bugs, and excelling/competing/profiting from your skills in a game are very different things.

Killer Instinct is the bomb! That game rocked so hard I still get an erection thinking back when I got it..nostalgia

Check this out then.

Hard to believe the game is 12 years old. Still looks awesome, so I can app your fond memories of it :)
I don't think any game stood the test of time "graphically" as this has.

ROLF u fookin cock eater

Sorry, I forgot talking about thing's like employment and questioning the true meaning of thing's is like performing an exorcism on an evil spirit to some people like you.

it aint, but claiming you earned anything over 12k a year from games testing is a lol

unless you worked over 45 hrs a week and thus had no life at the same time

actually, that sounds pretty fair :D

I averaged close to £30k a year from playing games.
And we did not get overtime. Just royalties.

Royalties?

As in royalties for each game sold?

No. Not for each game. For each copy of each game that was sold.

Yeah, that's what I meant.

That's some crazy deal to be honest, I'm guessing it was because they picked you up from your "pro" beat-em-up thingy you were talking about a while back?

dont be offended if i choose not to believe you :>

pff, asif yuo have no life when working 45 hours a week. Get real.

45 hrs a week is hardcore, i couldnt do it, id be knackered all the time

nah, really depends on if it's an interesting job or not. I know people who work up to 70 hours a week, almost every week.

Also, there is lots of people taking 2h to commute to work every day. And they still have a life.

yeah, but that onl;y leaves like 4hrs, or so if they need the average 8 hrs sleep :( i think its so sad when people only have that much free time, but then im a relaxation junkie and am yet to find a job i actually like...

i envy people that can do it ;D

well man it's nothing special

I earn $10-15k a year working part time at a little bit more than minimum wage and going to school at the same time .

where are you from?

The sad thing is she thinks I'm lying, like it's a big deal or something.
Makes you wonder about how bad some peoples circumstances around here.

you wonder why i think youre lying when you come out with all sorts of bullshit all the time? :D

its not that its that improbable as a fact on its own, but when coupled with the name jamerio it loses a hell of a lot of credibility

Meany :)

lol

£, not $ :X

oh, right

that changes a few things :D

still i have a friend who works for ubisoft in montreal and he's paid quite a lot to test video games too so it's still probable

edit :D

whats ur fav type of apple?

Sorry, I forgot talking about thing's like employment and questioning the true meaning of thing's is like performing an exorcism on an evil spirit to some people like you.

indeed, shut up

Looks like we have interesting discussion here :)

you truly deserve your userlevel

now we only have to force his location to "His own little world"

My own little world?

Why is anything I have just said untrue?

well, everything obviously is very true.

from you point of view ;)


and it even rhymes \o/

Let's have a rap battle!
Gather all the cattle!
Cuz we be on teh esreattle!

I like row 1 and 3(especially three), but not two, that's bad.

was this 75k a year job in america (that u had to give up on coz of the strict uk-usa visa restrictions) for games testing too

No, it was because of a lack of university degree.http://www.unh.edu/oiss/h_o_tn/o1/
You need to meet certain check point's.

Earning's
recognisged awards
rave reviews etc.

Passed all that, just failed on 20th century ideals on what makes someone capable of doing something without spenidng 6 yrs eating pasta bakes and getting in debt and having a bit of paper at the end of it.

Bill gates and MS should be stark reminder to everyone that a uni degree are not the be all and end all.
They just buy you "he must be smart and capable" status in the eyes of very ignorant people, who sadly seem to be in positions of power.

Worked out fine in the end though:)

haha so sum1 with no qualifications in anything and no iq/guaranteed work can go over and try and make it in hollywood but u cant? k

was the supposed $75k for finding holes in floors of maps agen?

how did it work out fine in the end. do u even work now?

Yeah but Bill Gates did it all for himself.

no you didn't, and you're sad.

I think I speak for everyone on ESR when I say;
