Hi Everyone:
I put this out to the media, as well as on Twitter, Facebook, and our blog, but I wanted to post it here too. We're actively looking for more Beta testers.
I've included the text of my blog post below. You can also read the blog post here:

We’re always looking for a few good Beta testers. Think you could be one of them? You’ll not only receive free copies of the games you test, but you could also earn credits at Deliver2Mac and get even more games. Who knew playing games could be so lucrative?
To get started, send an email to betatest@vpltd.com and let us know the following information:
• The game genres (role-playing, strategy, action, etc.) that interest you. Avid gamers only, please.
• Your Mac’s specs: model, processor, amount of RAM, video card, and OS X version. You need Mac OS X 10.6.8 or higher.
• Your ability to access and use a web-based bug reporting system. If you’ve used web-based email, such as Gmail or Yahoo!, then you’ve used a web-based system. Bonus points if you’ve used a bug reporting system before, or if you have experience with back-end content management systems.
• Your ability to spend at least 5 hours playing a game and reporting bugs. The more time you spend playing a game and giving quality feedback, the more we’ll reward you with credits at Deliver2Mac. Those credits can be redeemed for more free games.
If we choose you, we’ll send you an email and explain how to access our bug reporting system, as well as how to download the Beta version of the game you’ve been chosen to test. We’ll also notify you on a regular basis when new projects are available.
We look forward to hearing from you.

Hi Brad,
Out of curiosity, when you say "ability to spend at least 5 hours playing a game" do you mean per game, or per week? I'm pretty full up on the game front but maybe I can do something depending on the specifics.

Yeah, it does. I am not sure how much time I will be able to put into it, but I will definitely consider this.
