The third glitch... IT HAUNTS MEEEE
14 years ago
So anyway, I recently had an interview to be a game tester.
As part of the interview process, the lady in charge showed me five video clips from different games and had me spot the glitches. They were fairly obvious - walking through solid objects, sound not matching the action, etc.
But the third one... THE THIRD ONE....
It was a still image, and I... couldn't see anything wrong with it. Everything was spelled right and stuff. I even got to look at it more than once, but my answer was, "okay, I'm stumped."
She said, "four out of five, that's good!" so I guess that's good.
But my mind keeps going back to that still, flickery, cheesy-fake-aged-filter image... taunting me... HAUNTING ME...
What was the glitch? What WAS the glitch? My mind keeps revisiting and revisiting, maybe it was this, maybe it was that, the other four were so easy, I bet if I looked at it again I'd see it right away.... but I will NEVER KNOW.
4/5 was "good..." but not "great?!" Did I blow it? DID I BLOW MY ONE FINAL CHANCE AT HAPPINESS?? AGGH, that would be SO LIKE ME. I'm so stupid and worthless, I dress badly and I need a haircut, and my socks have holes in the weirdest places, and I need to lose weight and floss more often and etc etc etc I'M A LOATHSOME HUMAN BEING.
At some point I realize I've been rocking back and forth in the fetal position with my thumb in my mouth for two hours and I pick myself up and tell myself that's all silly. The interview was most likely pass/fail, and I passed. Yeah, they're not going to hire me, but not because I'm unqualified.
I did great. I'm awesome. Remember to breathe, everything's dandy~
....but WHAT was the FUCKING GLITCH?? 8[

BAAH...I'm sure you were great. I've always wondered what it'd be like to be a game tester. BEST OF LUCK TO YA!
Listen, if you relax you will have a better chance of getting the job, and even if you do not, it isn't the end of the world!
The world will keep rolling forward, with or without you. xD
this is FAR from your last shot at happyness. c:
Now you've got me wondering too D:
