This is a tangent, but I immediately was reminded of 'speed-runners' in gaming. I know some people who either do this or are fans, and what fascinated me about the whole thing is that a big part of it is finding the 'unintentional' parts of the systems.
I've also known 'testers' and a guy who runs a company that offers this as a service.
The work involves is pretty similar, and I imagine a certain 'type' of person would thrive doing either of these jobs. But what I've noticed about speed-running is that while some doggedly keep at it with a single game, part of the fun seems to be to go from game to game. I imagine the type of person that would be a good tester would also benefit from being moved around from testing one thing to another.
