Today, my girlfriend of 3 years said she was leaving me because recently I wasn't making much money, and was playing too many video games. I recently got a raise at my job of 5 years. The job? Testing video games. FML

A video game junkie is definitely means for a break up. Unless you play them while she's not around and actually spend time with your girl. Then I wouldn't care too much if it were me. But I've seen people who's bf plays video games while their girl sits on the couch dying of boredom. **** that. I'd break up with u in a heartbeat and find someone who's actually interested in me more than his game. YDI.

hahah priceless, stupid people these days :)

I'm sorry :/ that sux but that must be one cool job

Rofl. Wow. It's funny how many people don't know anything about video game testing. It's not just you playing games all day, you do t really even play them. You look for bugs and glitches 8 hours a day doing the same thing over and over again. It's considered the lowest of the low in the video game industry. I was a tester and it is just terrible. Anyways, it's good she left. If she can't support what you want to do, and always whines about mobey, what good is gonna come out of that?

Wow, you guys have absolutely no idea how hard it is to test games do you? Sure it's pretty cool, but it's super tedious and time consuming. Bro, I feel for you man. My uncle tests games too, and he can't even hold a relationship for more than a few months. So kudos to you for making it 3 years! (Btw, my uncle is NOT ugly. When he does date, I'M jealous of his girls!!)

Not the best job, it's not playing, it's playing same levels over and over again for 3-6 months. I've been a tester for 4 years and sometimes I wish we would play games instead of working. Plus, pay usually isn't that great.

It sounds unreasonable on her part at first, but... I'm pretty sure video game testing isn't exactly a career path, and as a job, it doesn't make a lot of money. So if you're doing that for five years and not showing much motivation to get a better job, then her assessment is pretty much spot on.
