There are a lot of reasons why someone might want to check out a guide like T Dub Sanders'. One might be interested in the underside of the game testing field. Others might just want to know what they can gain from a guide that is written to help people understand their role in the gaming industry. Others still are just pining for that ultimate career working alongside game developers and designers.

Whatever the reason, T Dub Sanders has put together one of the biggest and best game testing guides on the market – one that shows the underpinnings of the career in their raw, real format. There are no false promises of automatic testing or sitting at home and playing the newest games for hundreds of dollars a day.

That stuff is all pretty much a pipe dream and most people know it – yet many guide writers try to tell everyone that they can become the biggest and best new game testers in a field that doesn't really exist every day and too many fall for it. On the other hand, what T Dub has put together is a much more realistic, much more comprehensive look at what game testing is really about – the hard work and dedication that goes into becoming someone in charge of all that code each day.

By showing what it really takes to be a game tester, T Dub opens up an actual, realistic path to getting into the industry. He showcases skills needed to get started as a tester, the classes or college majors that people better be willing to invest in if they want to be a professional in this field and much more to help them figure out not only if the career path is right for them but if they are going to be cut out for it. That means a great deal for someone who may or may not know exactly what a game tester does and how it operates.

For anyone that is thinking about taking the path toward becoming a game tester, one of the first things that needs to be done is to learn more about what the career entails. Those people should pick up T Dub's newest guide and get a real insider's look at the job and how it really works. If you're serious about doing what T Dub shows you, you'll be on the fast track toward game testing in no time flat.

New trailer for rain is haunting and beautiful

You are here: Home » News » Rain » New trailer for rain is haunting...

Posted May 30th, 2013 at 11:28 EDT by Kyle Prahl4 Comments

A new story trailer for rain, the atmospheric adventure game from Sony's Japan Studio and Acquire, calls to mind Ico. The bona fide PlayStation legend dropped narrative anchor on the tale of a boy and girl escaping from tragedy together. rain looks to channel the same vibes, with two protagonists searching for answers to a curse that plagues them both.

The curse is invisibility, and only by stepping into pouring rain can their silhouettes be seen. Ghostly creatures suffer the same affliction and hunt you (the boy) at every opportunity. Before long, you cross paths with the girl, and your journeys continue together. You come across lonely, spooky environments--an abandoned church, a gritty factory, and a brightly lit circus devoid of any people whatsoever.

As you navigate this world together, you'll also face gameplay wrinkles that keep things interesting beyond simply stepping under cover to leave the rain and turn invisible. If you step in deep mud puddles, enemies will be able to track your movement until you're able to wash your feet in a large rain puddle.

Dais Kawaguchi, Associate Producer at SCEA, thinks rain "is an emotional journey that will remind players of a familiar yet distant time." Ico came out in 2001. rain is coming Fall 2013.

Kyle Prahl is U.S. Managing Editor for PSU, and can't wait to go hands-on with rain at E3 2013. You can follow him on Twitter and Facebook.

Crysis 3 returns to series' roots with new The Lost Island DLC

You are here: Home » News » Crysis 3 » Crysis 3 returns to series' root...

Posted May 30th, 2013 at 11:50 EDT by Steve Chaffin1 Comments

EA today announced the upcoming release of a new wave of downloadable content for critically acclaimed Crysis 3, dubbed The Lost Island.

The announcement serves as no surprise, as developer Crytek previously teased such content in a Facebook post reading, "In the words of Nomad: 'We’re going back.'" This came alongside a photo of the tropical island setting of the original Crysis.

The new multiplayer DLC, available for $14.99 starting June 4, features four outside-of-the-dome maps, two new game modes, and a new arsenal of weapons available for online use. Crytek's aim, by taking players outside of the perilous, domed New York City, might be to create an exciting mixture of the old environment that made the series a massive success and the new experiences possible thanks to advancements in hardware and software since the series' debut in 2007.

To discuss, drop a comment below or make your way to our community forums. Has Crysis 3 maintained gamer interest since its release? Will you be purchasing the new DLC when it releases in less than a week?

Steven Chaffin, Jr. is an American editor for PlayStation Universe and an avid fan of Crytek's Crysis 2. He regards Crysis as one of the highest-quality first-person shooters on the market, but ironically missed out on the third series' installment entirely.

Pin ItArticle EditDiscussYo gwan roll up da joint, ya need paper

Edit Steps1Prepare your equipment. To make paper, you'll mix pulp and water, and pull it up on a piece of window screen. Here are some different options for starting:

Frame method: Stretch a screen over a wooden frame (an old picture frame works well for this, or you can build your own) and staple it or nail it to the edges. The screen should be pulled as tightly as possible. Make sure the frame is large enough to hold the size of paper you wish to make. Additionally, you'll need a basin, bucket or pan that's larger than the frame.Pan method: Purchase a deep, disposable aluminum pan from the grocery store, or find a deep casserole dish. Cut out a portion of screen that's the same shape as the bottom of the pan, but slightly larger.2Find recyclable paper. Newspaper may be the easiest source to start with, but you can also use old print-outs, notes, phone books - just about any unwaxed paper product.Keep in mind that the color of the papers you use and the amount of dark ink on them will affect the "grayness" of your creation.

Avoid using any glossy or shiny paper - it won't work as well.3Clean up the paper. Remove plastic, staples and other contaminants. Especially if you're using junk mail, your paper scraps are likely to contain plastic from envelope windows. Try to remove such impurities as thoroughly as possible.

4Tear the paper into small pieces. Don't spend to much time on this step, but do break up the paper into smaller pieces. A few rips per paper should be enough.

5Soak the paper in water. Put the smaller pieces of paper in a container (such as a bowl or cup) and cover them with water. Let them soak for 30 to 45 minutes.

6Turn the paper into pulp. Now that the recyclable paper is more wet and pliable, you can start the process of turning it into pulp - a thick, goopy, slightly watery substance that will eventually become your new piece of paper. Here are two possibilities:

Blend the paper. Rip the paper into tiny bits, and place it all into a blender until it's about half full. Fill the blender with warm water. Run the blender on "slow" at first, then increase the speed until the pulp looks smooth and well-blended - approximately 30 to 40 seconds - just until there are no flakes of paper remaining.Mash the paper. If you have a mortar and pestle (or something similar, like the end of a rolling pin and a sturdy bowl) available, you can mash up the paper by hand. Work a handful at a time, and aim to get the pulp so that it's similar to the consistency of watery oatmeal.7Fill your basin about halfway with water. The basin should be a little wider and longer than your frame and approximately the same shape.

If you're using the frame method, fill the basin and add the pulp before you dip the frame.If you're using the pan method, put the screen in the bottom of the pan before you add the water and mix in the pulp.8Add the pulp to the basin and stir. The amount of pulp you add to the water will determine the thickness of the paper, and while you want a dense suspension of pulp to fully cover your screen in the next steps, you don't need to make the whole tub into sludge. Experiment a bit. The thickness of can be changed from paper to cardboard depending on the amount of water added to the pulp.

9Remove any large clumps of paper. Try to pick out any clumps; the smoother and finer your mixture, the more uniform your end product will be.

10Sizing the paper (optional). If the paper is going to be used for stationery, stir 2 teaspoons of liquid starch into the pulp mix. The starch helps prevent ink from soaking into the paper fibers.

11Immerse the frame in the mixture (frame method only). Place your wooden frame into the pulp, screen-side down, then level it while it is submerged. Lightly move it side-to-side until the pulp on top of the screen lies fairly uniformly flat.

12Lift the screen from the basin. Slowly lift up the screen until it is above the water. Drip-drain it over the basin. Wait until most of the water has drained from the pulp, and you'll see the beginnings of a new piece of paper. If the paper is very thick, remove some of the pulp from the top. If it is too thin, add some more pulp and stir the mixture again.

13Remove excess water from the paper. After you've lifted the screen out of the basin, you'll need to remove the extra water from the pulp. Depending on the method you chose in Step 1, here's how to do it:

Frame method: After the water stops dripping (or nearly so), gently place a piece of fabric (felt or flannel, preferably) or a piece of Formica (smooth-side down) in the frame on top of the "paper". Very gently press down to squeeze out excess water. Use a sponge to press out as much water as possible from the other side of the screen, and periodically wring out the sponge.Pan method: Lay a cloth towel out on a flat surface, and put the screen (with the paper on it) on one half of the towel. Fold the other half over so that it's on top of the paper. With a clothes iron on low setting, gently iron over the towel. You should see a little steam from the paper coming up.14Remove the paper from the screen. Once the paper is a little more dry, you can lift it from the screen. You can gently press out any bubbles and loose edges at this point.

Gently lift the fabric or Formica out of the frame. The wet sheet of paper should remain on the fabric. If it sticks to the screen, you may have pulled too fast or not pressed out enough water.Slowly peel the paper off the screen. If you find that it's not coming off easily, try ironing it underneath the towel again.15Set the paper out to dry. Take the piece of paper and lay it out to dry on a flat surface. Alternatively, you can speed up the drying process by using a hair dryer on the low setting.

16Peel the paper off the fabric or Formica (frame method only). Wait until the sheets of paper are thoroughly dried; then gently peel.

Ironing (optional): When the paper is damp, but safe to move peel the fabric/Formica from the paper and then use an iron set on high to dry the paper quickly and give it a nice shine.17Repeat the above steps to make additional sheets. Continue adding pulp and water to the basin as needed.

Edit TipsFor a more artistic flair, you can also incorporate plant materials into your paper, such as shreds of flower petals, leaves, or green grass. The resulting beautiful effects will motivate you to make more - no two pieces are ever the same.Nearly any fine screen or sieve with holes about 1 mm can be substituted for the window screen.You can press a drying sheet of paper by placing another piece of fabric or Formica on top of it and gently pressing. This will make the resulting paper smoother and thinner. Leave the second piece there as it dries.Wax paper can be used instead of fabric or FormicaIf you don't add starch, the paper will be highly absorbent, and your ink will likely bleed quite easily. If this occurs, briefly soak the dried paper in a mix of water and gelatin and re-dry.At your first run, it might not turn out as neatly as you'd like. But it takes time, so stick with it.If you have trouble pulling the paper out of the frame, you may gently turn the frame upside down and try to pull it off the fabric or Formica.If you want to have whiter paper, half a cup of white vinegar can be added to the pulp mixture.You can add dryer lint to your slurry, but do not make your paper entirely from lint, as it will not have enough body on its own.The resulting paper will most likely be opaque on one side and bright on the other. Depending on your intended use, either side may be suitable, but the bright side will probably be better for writing.If you want to make colored construction paper,use paper with the least amount of dark ink, use a lot of "pulp" and use liquid food coloring.Particularly if you dry the paper on fabric, the paper may take on the color and texture of the material, so be careful what you use. Smooth Formica may be the best option if you want smooth writing paper.When squeezing out excess water with your piece of fabric or Formica, be very gentle, and be careful not to break or deform your screen.You can make getting the paper off the screen faster and easier by making a deckle. It should be identical to the frame the screen is attached to. Just before step 10, place the deckle on top of the screen and dip it into the pulp deckle-side-up. After you lift it out of the pulp, lift the deckle, place your fabric over the paper, turn it over, and remove the screen. Since the paper may still be sodden, you'll need to be careful not to poke any holes or stretch it.To get excess water out you can put the cloth on top and press with a sponge - be gentle!Have a craft-oriented friend help you, especially if you're craft-challenged.

Jagtiani, Krystle, wikiHow Coach, Writelf and 4 others

Pin ItArticle EditDiscussThe elbow strike or the knee strike are known as "Palkup Chigi" and "Mureup Chigi" in Korean. These moves are part of an attack executed by striking the elbow and knee respectively. Used as both an offensive and defensive move, these actions can be executed using either the part of the forearm nearest to the elbow or the part of the upper arm nearesrt to the elbow and knee strike (knee cap or the surrounding area), to the groin.

EditSteps

Understanding the Move1Be aware of the consequences of this move. It can deliver a strike to the head, the back, the face, the checks, and the groin. These strikes can be painful and damaging enough to end a fight without much effort. Chigi of Palkup (elbow) and Mureup Chigi (knee), can be a very potent technique when executed with precision; it is particularly useful for women defending themselves at close range. As such, it is recommended that all girls and women learn how to master this kind of technique to use for close-range self-defense.

Elbow strike: Palkup Chigi Elbow strike: Palkup ChigiMureup Arae Chigi: Lower cut by knee strike to the groin Mureup Arae Chigi: Lower cut by knee strike to the groinIn Taekwondo, elbow strikes or knee strikes are most often used while in close range, but are also employed while jumping toward the opponent. The hardness of the elbow allows for hitting with considerable force, and experienced fighters can easily knock out, cut, or injure their opponent with a well-placed strike.Elbow or knee strikes are generally most effective when used in combination with punches or kicks, to allow the fighter to close the distance, especially when women are being harassed close up.

Using the Elbow Strike1Know when to use the elbow strike. The elbow strike (Palkup Chigi) is a very powerful technique used mainly in close combat. It can be used in six different ways:Palkup Ollyo Chigi: Striking upward - upper-cut elbowPalkup Yeopeuro Chigi: Striking sideways - sideways elbowPalkup Dwiro Chigi: Striking backward - backward strike elbowPalkup Naeryo Chigi: Striking downward - downward strike elbowPalkup Dollyo Chigi: Striking by turning around - spinning elbowPalkup Pyajeok Chigi:Striking with the help of supporting handElbows can be thrown sideways similarly to a hook strike, upwards strike, backward strike, upper cut strike or downwards strike with the point of the elbow.2Perform the Palkup Ollyo Chigi move. This method is also known as striking upward, using the upper-cut elbow:

Palkup Ollyo Chigi Striking upward - upper-cut elbow Palkup Ollyo Chigi Striking upward - upper-cut elbowKeep the arm close to the body and swing elbow upwards, twisting the hand inwards and bending the elbow sharply.Keep the hand close to your ear at the time of impact.Strike the opponent's head, jaw, cheek or chin.3Perform the Palkup Yeopeuro Chigi. This is also known as striking sideways, using the sideways elbow:

Palkup Yeopeuro Chigi: Striking sidewise - sidewise elbow Palkup Yeopeuro Chigi: Striking sidewise - sidewise elbowStrike the elbow inwards in a straight line or slightly upper.Twisting the wrist inwards and landing the elbow sharply.Strike the temple, the jaw or the face.4Perform the Palkup Dwiro Chigi. This is also known as striking backward, using the backward strike elbow:

Palkup Dwiro Chigi: Striking backward - backward strike elbow Palkup Dwiro Chigi: Striking backward - backward strike elbowPlace the arm across the front of the body with the fist over the left shoulder and the palm facing downwards.Thrust elbow straight back, the palm facing upwards at the time of impact.Strike the solar plexus or the rib.5Perform the Palkup Naeryo Chigi. This is also known as striking downward, using the downward strike elbow:

This is also known as striking by turning around, using the spinning elbow:

Palkup Dollyo Chigi : Striking by turning around - spinning elbow Palkup Dollyo Chigi : Striking by turning around - spinning elbowTurn around 180 degree and point the elbow at the target and strike forward.Twist the wrist inwards and bend in the elbow sharply.Strike to the face, jaw, chest, shoulder or cheeks.7Perform the Palkup Pyajeok Chigi.

Knee Strikes1The Knee strike (Mureup Chigi) is a strike with the knee, and involves thrusting the front of the knee into the groin, or the head of the body of an opponent. The knee strike is convenient for attacking a close-up opponent either at the levels of the stomach, face or groin. Knee strikes (particularly to the groin for males) are generally agreed to be effective self-defense maneuvers. This move has three different names according to the part with which attacking are executed:Mureup-dollyo chigi: Spinning by kneeMureup-ollyo chigi: Upper-cut by kneeMureup-arae chigi: Lower strike.2Perform the Mureup-dollyo chigi. This is also known as spinning by knee:Lift the knee and turn around 45 degree at the target and strike forward.Strike the solar plexus, the rib or the stomach.

Mureup-arae chigi : Lower strike: Strike the groin. Mureup-arae chigi : Lower strike: Strike the groin.

Edit TipsThe straight (forward) knee is a typical knee strike, and involves thrusting the front of the knee into the head, the ribs, the groin or body of an opponent. The straight knee can be applied from a stand-up position both when the combatants are separated or close-up.Elbowing or kneeing techniques are a disallowed practice in the Taekwondo competitions. However, for martial arts purposes, these are generally agreed to be effective self-defense maneuvers.
