Gearbox wants you to playtest its upcoming games photo

Calling all Texans: Gearbox Software is looking for a few good gamers to test and give feedback on a couple of its unreleased games, like Borderlands and Aliens: Colonial Marines.

If either of those two games pique your interest, and you are A) 18 years or older B) able to haul yourself over to Plano, TX and C) can playtest during normal business hours (Mon - Fri, 10:00 am - 6:00 pm), then click this link to apply.

For the excruciatingly difficult work of playing cool games and giving feedback to developers, you'll be rewarded with snacks and swag. Not a bad gig, huh?

I know we have a handful of Dtoiders who currently live in Texas -- are any of you thinking about signing up for this?

I can't wait for the game. If I lived in Plano, I'd probably be down. But I live in Houston and I enjoy my job now. So naaaaah.

I seriously can't wait for Aliens though, jesus. If it's not good. I will explode for no reason. FOR NO REASON!

Sounds like a great way to break into that end of the industry if you're interested, but they're paying in snacks and swag? Cheap bastards.

Sounds interesting. If only more developers did this, unfortunately, I think the only place around here is Activision Minneapolis, and I really don't care enough about the Cabela's franchise to make it worth my while.

I live here in Dallas and may have already tested 1 of those games.... Id do it again. It was fun and an experience where my xbox live rants about gameplay go vindicated.

I just wish I was invited to treyarch to test CoD WaW, cuz I would have mouthblasted the fuck out of the idea of tanks, and random spawn patterns.
