Get Paid To Play Video Games With Friends

video games

If you like to sit around and play video games with friends, wouldn't it be nice to get paid while doing it?

This might sound like a dream job and now getting paid to play video games with friends is a very real opportunity. All Home Connections is an online sales agent of AT&T, and they're celebrating some movies and video games. This year we'll see the new Sonic the Hedgehog 2 movie and the trailer for The Super Mario Bros. Movie. It's also the 30th anniversary the Sonic the Hedgehog 2 game.

If you've been playing video games for years, you know that there's quite a difference between the classic games and the new ones. Some of the classic games are still my favorite like the original Nintendo Super Mario Bros. and Duck Hunt. All Home Connections wants to know how you think the old stack up to the new. And to find out, they want to pay you to play them.

How do I get this gig?

To get in on the fun, first you need to find a friend to play with, then you need to fill out an application by November 18th explaining why you're the best for the job.

If you're selection, you and your friend will play 20 hours of games and you can get to pick of these classic/modern video game pairs:

  • Super Mario Bros (1985) vs. Mario Odyssey (2017)
  • Kirby’s Adventure (1993) vs. Kirby and the Forgotten Land (2022)
  • Donkey Kong (1983) vs. Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (2018)
  • Sonic The Hedgehog (1991) vs. Sonic Frontiers (2022)
  • Legend of Zelda (1986) vs. Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (2017)

Then you'll answer questions like which was more fun, which was more difficult, etc.

To complete the challenge, the company will hook you up good! Not only will they pay you $1,889 to split, but they'll also hook you up with a Nintendo Switch with the games you need, a one-year membership to Nintendo Switch Online, NES access for classic video games, heart rate watches to track which games get you frustrated/pumped up, snacks and swag.

Your Dog Can Earn $10k Per Year As A Pupfluencer

In 2022 being an influencer is all the rage, and your dog can earn $10k per year as a pupfluencer.

Yappy.com is an online retailer of personalized pet gifts. They're looking for its next "Chief Fluff Officer" and it comes with quite the paycheck.

I work hard to give my dog a better life. But if Rocket gets this gig, he'll be doing that for me!

The job ad reads: "The successful pup will be a natural behind the camera, always happy to strike a pose and genuinely enjoy having their photo taken and being filmed as they try out our latest personalized gifts."

Now don't think this job is all fluff. The chosen pup needs a glam squad on hand because they must always be groomed and camera ready. They must also be "comfortable showing off their best poses, sassy struts, tail wags, tricks and expressions" online.

My dog can really earn $10k per year as a pupfluencer?

Yes! The Chief Fluff Officer will get paid $10,000 and will receive fun products and even be able to occasionally travel for photoshoots.

It might be easier for you to apply than your pup, so you'll need to fill out this online application before November 18th.
