I would like to be like one of the many groups that just plays video games for a living. After watching lots of the Yogscast and Roosterteeth just play games, I wouldn't mind doing the same thing with my friends.

Not particularly. I am pretty bothered by the lack of quality in the industry, and that would get under my skin if I was a part of that, unless I had the power to change it.

I would love to but where would I work: I have no programing skills so game dev is out,(bbc code makes my brain hurt) No art skills so that's out, I could not sell meth to an addict, yeah I dont think there is many job opening in the games industry just for people who love games.
Wrong. There's many ways to be related to the videogame industry even if you don't actually develop the game.
Examples:
Working on game magazines, or gaming websites, as an article-writer. Doing online videogame reviews like Angry Joe does. Professional competitive streaming like Swifty. Casual stream play like Totalbiscuit/Yoggcast. Beta tester for the companies (and I mean internal testing, not the free public testing they do). and an endless Etc.
Me, I have absolutely no programming skills, can't draw even a house made of sticks, and hve never been good at selling stuff, but one thing I love doing (and have been told, am good at it) is reviewing games. I would LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE to work for a gaming magazine as a writer, redactign reviews for games. My job would be: Play a game, then write what I think about it AND GET PAID FOR IT!!!!!
Alas, the videogame industry is completely non-existent in venezuela, but if it was, I'd gladly give up my dream of being a chef, to work at a videogame magazine. Not to mention the extra perk: You get games BEFORE THE GENERAL PUBLIC!

Not really. I have a "friend" who wants to be a video game designer, but he's failing all his classes, including his programming one, because he refuses to work and can't plan/draw worth crap. It's kind of soured the whole thing for me.

Unless you're a greedy company and won't give anyone a free copy. It happened to Angry Joe when he had to buy 2 copies of Star Trek so he could try out the Co-op, then not have it work at all on the computer. He even made a vlog about it before posting the actual review.

I dunno if professional reviewers for magazines and websites get free copies of the game, BUT they do get it before the general public.
For example PC Gamer gets to review games up to a month prior to their release. That for me, is quite the perk.

This GREATLY depends on which job. Game designer? *!@# yes. Customer service? Probably not.

#347: Is there anything edible that you refuse to eat?
Simple, is there any type of meat, vegetable, fruit, or other edible source of food that you just can't eat? Either because you are allergic to it, or you simply dislike the taste?

Mayonnaise, Miracle Whip, and anything like it. I can't even stand touching the container it comes in. It's so greasy and jiggly. Totally grosses me out.

Non-fish seafood (clams, shrimp, squid, etc.). I love all kinds of fish though.

I've never encountered anything that is edible, that I have refused to eat. I'm pretty open minded, and cultural.... at least... when it comes to food.
