  • A Career As A Video Game Tester

    564 Words  | 2 Pages

    My most favorite career that I ever wanted is to be a video game tester. What I like about the life of a video game tester is that you have to find bugs/glitches in the game. Once you find a glitch in the game, you have to report the glitch to the bug tracker database so that they can fix the glitch and make a new copy of that game. I know some of these roles are hard in this job, but I’ll do my best to get through them and get used to it later on in my life. I thought this job is about testing games but it is more than just playing games before they come out. It’s about finding bugs and glitches in the game.

  • Personal Essay: My Passion For A Computer

    779 Words  | 2 Pages

    When I was growing up in Indonesia, computers were very expensive and it was very hard to get personal access to them. However, this all changed in the United States and I was lucky enough to get one. At first, my dad got one for work and that is where my passion started. I was fascinated about how it turned on or how it stored files. My curiosity only expanded and I wanted to figure out how everything works. Finally in fifth grade, I got my dad’s old computer, which I dismantled in a few days. At first, he was angry because the computer would not work anymore but he then realized how much time I spent working on it. Soon after, my parents realized my passion for computers and they bought me a new computer. I began to work on it the first day and a few days later, I discovered how video games were created. In middle school, my friends and I created a game based on Pokemon, something that we all remembered from our childhood. After school, we would meet up at my friend’s garage and we would work until the sun came down. We wanted this game to work and we did all we could to make it a success. We sacrificed our parents’ money and valuable time but after 14 months of working, the hard work had paid off and the game was finally done. I work very well with people and it shows in the game we published, I may have had some disagreements but I did not let that stop myself

    799 Words  | 2 Pages

    Computers have interested me ever since I was a child. I got my first Computer when I was seven years old. It was a cheap Dell and I was so excited to finally have my own computer. Before I got my own, I was using my mom's computer which was one of the best you could get at the time. I would either play Club Penguin or look around the internet. However, I was always curious how computers worked and functioned. I was always interested with what was happening on the inside. So when I finished setting up my new Computer and after using it for a couple days, I couldn't stop thinking about opening the computer to look at the internals.So, with a screwdriver I "borrowed" from my dad's tool box, I unscrewed some screws, slid off the case, and gasped in the computers glory.

  • My Experience with Computers

    1218 Words  | 3 Pages

    I remember walking single file to the computer Lab. It was a room that was completely new to my whole fifth grade class. What did it look like inside? Did we all really get to play on these machines? I had never even typed on a computer before. This was fifth grade and my computer experience was, well, let's just say lacking. Learning to use these computers was a great experience for me. I was pretty scared but I learned how to play a lot of games and the teachers were very kind and helpful. Computers were a thing of the future, and more and more kids needed to learn how to use them. This was the case at our school. They thought it was time to conquer our fear, they were no longer valued as precious treasures that were only available to those over the age of eighteen. I had seen computers before but had never learned how to use them because I was never allowed, my mother always looked at me as an accident waiting to happen when it came to expensive things. Now that I am in college, I must say that I have gained some knowledge in this area, though I wouldn't consider myself an expert. I use my computer now for typing papers to turn in for school, using America Online to talk to friends, and downloading music to burn CD's.
