caps: hahaha yeah I remember that for sure
caps: but yo
caps: my man worked for Acclaim for a while
caps: and tested Turok Dinosaur Hunter one summer
caps: like non-stop
caps: he said it was brutal
caps: that he'd show up for work
caps: and they'd be like, you're doing level 2 again
caps: and he'd just have to run all over the level
caps: not fighting any dinosaurs, but just lookin for glitches
caps: holes, mistakes, gaps
caps: he said it was demoralizing
caps: you have to fight against the urge just to play the game
caps: and instead devote yourself to combing over digital grass
caps: making sure there are no escapes
***
ken: basically i want to just play videogames and stop working
caps: hahaha man I feel you ONE THOUSAND PERCENT
ken: but get PAID for it
ken: and work in a nice ass loft downtown at the same time
ken: i wonder if that job exists
caps: nice work if you can get it
caps: and if you get it won't you tell me how
ken: i'm on it son!
