It's that time of the year again: <a href="http://www.spiderwebsoftware.com/testing/beta_test.html" target="blank">Spiderweb Software beta testing</a>. If you have a hankering for <b><a href="http://www.spidweb.com/geneforge5/index.html" target="blank">Geneforge 5</a></b>, have a few hours free a week, and don't mind not getting paid, sign up today.
<br>
<blockquote>Why should I beta test for Spiderweb?
<br>
<br>
1. Fun. You will get to be among the first people to play our newest game. Of course, the game will also be full of bugs and crashes so it's sort of a warped bit of fun.
<br>
2. Free game. Loyal testers will get a copy of the final full version of the game.
<br>
3. Experience, experience, experience. We can not pay our loyal beta testers but you can use us as a reference in the real world to get a real job. This actually worked for one of our testers, who listed us as a reference and got hired after Jeff talked to his prospective employer.
<br>
4. Recognition.You will be given credit in the game as a tester. Impress your friends and your significant other or not, depending on how you treated them while you were off being the "Beta-Tester". </blockquote>

Fun? Way to spoil your game.
I never though I would say this, but thank God for the impatient Appletards.

 

[LCJr.]

You still betatesting for them baby arm?

 

[Applegate's Breasts]

I thought he'd be announcing a Zombie related RPG now that Geneforge is finished and try to get in on that Left 4 dead, resident evil pie.

No, not enough hours in the day. That ice cream truck's not gonna drive itself, you know.

 

[POOPERSCOOPER]

I already played Geneforge 5 like 5 years ago.

Fun, but takes time.

It is kind of fun to do this, but it takes a lot of time. Lots of time. Prepare to crawl into the basement and stay there for a week. Unfortunately, I don't have the same amount of free time I used to.

mmmm

My curriculum vitae is pretty pathetically empty, but now that I think of it I can add "involuntary microsoft beta tester".

I wonder what kind of job will that land me.

 

[Andhaira]

I wonder how much eschalon will influence Vogels future games?
