My copy of La Pucelle Tactics didn’t work with either of the Playstation 2′s I have, finally with my Playstation 3 it plays properly. Previously I’d get a garbled screen, not sure why. Also, virtual memory cards and 99% compatibility are such a refreshing change from the stacks of xbox 1 games I have that …
Michael Russel wrote up his Game QA Bill of Rights. It is pretty much exactly what we need, minus the pandering to the allowance for 10/hr goons to come in and be treated like dirt, unless they’re at least at some kind of “intern” level with somewhere besides test management to go to. Just to …

One of the blogs I link to – in fact the only other game quality assurance blog I’m aware of – has posted a fairly long (and mostly correct) rant about people who want to make a career out of game QA. This is the most correct way to think about Game QA, as a …
My apologies for not posting more, I’m still crunching. However I felt that this post is required reading, so I’m getting it up as quickly as possible. Just to make sure people are aware, there are plenty of spammers going around pretending to offer you various sums of money to play video games. There are …
