Testing times

Games Tester. To some people it may be a dream job - to those already employed in the role it is probably more like a recurring nightmare. Sega are recruiting literally "dozens" of testers for their London offices. Tester is one of those rare entry-level jobs to the game industry. More importantly, to most applicants, is the fact that you actually get paid to play videogames. All day long. While this may sound great, and I'm sure it is for some testers, the few I have met at press events have the glazed look of veterans overexposed to the action on screen. Anyone got any tales from the testing frontline?
