Today I gave the [[Dead and Buried]] map to a few select people to see if anyone could beat it in the allotted time frame of four game weeks.

One of my candidates was [[Jen Bullard]]. Jen is the only female tester in the QA area.

Upon entering the test area, I found Jennifer burning a candle at her desk. She wasn't afraid to comment aloud how everyone else in the test area doesn't wash their clothes often enough. She thinks they stink.

No sooner did I sit down to watch Jen play than the verbal bantering between the testers began.

[[Ryan Den]], another one of our testers, was sure he found a bug and asked aloud if anyone had encountered the same bug. No one had. Immediately everyone began shouting "user error." Ryan thought they were all high... until he realized it was user error. Everyone then proceeded to playfully tear into Ryan yet again.

I must admit, our testers are pretty cool. Their interactions are quite amusing. They banter with the voracity of a knife fight, but it's rarely cruel.
