Does anyone here work or has worked in the games industry?

I just wanted to ask because until recently I worked myself at a games testing company, it was small, but I worked on some big titles of last year until I was laid off. A lot of my workmates went off to work at other testing companies. 
It's not really that hard to become a tester, and bioware constantly advertise for writers - which sounds like a dream job.
 
Anyone else done anything like this or would like to?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Your ass got FIRED! BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!

BAHAHAHAHAHHAHA FIRED! BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

I'm currently at university studying computer games programming so I expect to be in the games industry one day.

ill get back to you in 5 years 

also @FartyMcNarly: you suck.

I help the gaming industry as a consumer. 

Well, I'll tell you what the last person in the industry told me when I told him I was going into school to be a designer "Well, get designing." He meant it as a if-you-want-to-be-what-you-want-to-be-start-now sort of way. Same could be applied to your writing; get writing.

" @ClownDetective: How'd you get into game testing? also can you say what games you tested?or is that confidential...>_> "
