Valve Seeking Hardware Testers



Pending a few survey answers, a few Washingtonians may be some of the first to try out whatever Valve's developing behind closed doors.

If you live in Seattle, WA, love Valve, and would like to playtest its stuff, then there's a job opportunity you may be interested in. Valve seeks Seattle playtesters, and not just for its games; the lucky few will also get a first look at some of Valve's hardware.

There's a survey form to fill out [http://www.valvesoftware.com/gamersurvey.php?action=survey], if you're feeling keen. Each session should take about an hour, so this is probably something you could fit in even if you have a full-time job right now. Valve is only looking for Seattle testers at the moment, but encourages US-based gamers interested in testing to fill out the form anyway, as it may hold remote tests in the future.

Valve doesn't say which of its hardware you'd get a look at, but recently it's been talking up its something else entirely [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/119858-Valve-Preparing-for-the-Future-With-Virtual-Reality]. The testers will get to see for themselves ...

Super in-depth survey, holy crap. There is no way those play hours/number of games were accurate, but I tried my best DX

At this point im wondering if theres anything left to talk about in relation to Valve's hardware project other than wanton speculation.

Would you please stop adding the photo of that ancient Sony HMD to every Valve-related news item?

Ultimate envy for anyone who gets to try the VR glasses.
God of gods, why do I live in Australia.

Just finished it. Definitely an exercise in memory pulling. I have never been asked so detailed questions about my hobby as this survey has delivered.

Damn it, WHY DO I LIVE IN OKLAHOMA???

Screw it, I filled one out anyway. You can't pass up even the most remote chance of playtesting Valve stuff.

Damn you Americans. D:

For once I'm jealous of you. :p
(in addition to you usually having your games a few days before us "old world"ians.)

Yeah, tell me about it. Who keeps track of how many hours per week they play which systems? I get to sucked in to the experience to care!
