Game Testing: A Descent Into Madness

I doubt that this is the typical game tester's experience, but this story from an anonymous tester who worked on an unnamed product is quite possibly the craziest of crazy stories. Watch as he spirals into drugs and depression.

Even if I had spent every single second not at work sleeping, which didn't happen due to basic hygiene, that's only 6 hours a day to sleep.
Plus, I'm an insomniac. So that's why I don't remember it. It was because of that week that once, just once, the first time in five years and the only time since, that I smoked pot. I know I'm not supposed to say this, but it helped. I had visions from when I was a 3-month old baby, but it helped.

Protip: become a blogger. The hours are better.
