Beta testing as a job (and not a hobby) seems like a really hard job to do, not as hard as working in a production line, but not too far off either.

But damn must it be amazing at the same time...

I'd like to beta test just to get some idea of when a game will be released when we get no news of it... Kinda like Alan Wake

.

But somehow, I think games like Mario Karts (and other games by Nintendo in the same genre) must be not too bad to beta test, since they are games that are made to stay fun for a long time. Sure it must be boring to bump into the wall 500 times to see if you can go through it and get under the stage, but at the same time when it comes to playing the game normally it becomes a lot better than if you'd be beta-testing a SP game, cause at least you can play through the game for the 50 times and it won't be as bad. (it's boring, but less than a SP game, that's for sure, it's kinda like beta-testing SSBB, it's just not as bad since the game is made to be played 100000 times already

)
