Today, my girlfriend of 3 years said she was leaving me because recently I wasn't making much money, and was playing too many video games. I recently got a raise at my job of 5 years. The job? Testing video games. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my girlfriend broke up with me because she found out I play video games. No, not that I play too many video games or have an addiction to video games. Just that I play them, period. FML
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me after 2 years of being together. The reason? I don't enjoy playing video games as much as he does. FML
Today, I was playing competitively for my clan in a tournament. Money is involved, and I was doing quite well until my girlfriend up and turned the PS4 off because I wasn't "paying enough attention" to her, despite being on a holiday with her for the previous 3 days. FML
Today, after six months of dating, my girlfriend decided to break up with me because my "obsession" of being on the computer and playing games all the time was cutting into "our time". She then told me to "get a life" and never wanted to see me again. She told me all of this on WoW. FML
Today, I beat my boyfriend in a video game. He promptly dumped me and told me to leave. FML
Today, my girlfriend of several years broke up with me because of my lack of ability to contribute financially to the life that she envisioned for herself, due to my significant contributions in child support to my ex. She wants a more equal partner. FML
Today, I realized that my ex has REALLY dumped me for a video game. And he will not change his mind. FML
Today, my girlfriend broke up with me because she believes I "jinxed" her chances of getting the job she wanted. FML
Today, my girlfriend broke up with me after I beat her once again in a trivia game. She said that I was cheating, and if I was cheating on the game, I was definitely cheating on her as well. FML
Today, my girlfriend broke up with me because I was unsuccessful at a job interview, and she didn't want to be with someone who "has no future". She's unemployed too. FML

I want that job

You want that job? Obviously, you haven't thought it through very hard. It's not like he would be playing such mega hits as Halo or Call of Duty. Most of the games that he'll play will likely never make it big. Also, video game testers play games not for fun, but to intentionally find glitches. They will often play the same mind-numbing part for hours on end, trying to replicate a glitch in order for the development team to fix it. Try Googling "The Trenches" and read some of their stories and web comics. It goes into much greater detail.

Seriously, people need to do some research before crying "awesome job!" Like two seconds of googling would do it. Video game testing bears very little resemblance to actual video game playing. It's not fun.

It might be harder work than most would assume but a lot of jobs are hard work and tedious at times. I'd still like to give it a go. We can't all be designers. And it's still a job.

I hear other girls complain about this often, and a simple solution is to find a game you both like. It depends on the girl, but I like Fallout (3 and New Vegas) and 1st person shooters, so maybe try these first.
