Beta Game Testers Needed: Paint

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.

Pin ItArticle EditDiscussIt is more common to spray paint furniture now that you can buy a wide variety of spray paints. Spray paint is not only available in a wide range of colors and textures, but it is now made to cover a variety of materials. You can spray paint over plastic, metal, wood, wicker and even stained furniture. There are some basic steps to follow when spray painting furniture.

Edit Steps1Choose the spray paint you will use. Make sure it is the right spray paint for the type of furniture you are trying to paint. You can purchase special spray paint for outdoor furniture. Pick a color and texture that you like. Check the can to see how much you will need to buy to cover your furniture completely.

2Wash the furniture well with soap and water if needed. You want the piece of furniture to be completely clean before you begin spray painting.

3Rub a piece of sandpaper or a wire brush over the furniture to remove any loose old paint or rust. If the piece of furniture is unfinished, you may still want to complete this step to remove any splinters. Using sandpaper on any surface will rough it up and help the paint to stick to the surface. Wipe the furniture with a damp cloth after completing this step.4Check to be sure to see the furniture is dry before you begin painting. After you finish cleaning and sanding, you will want to be sure the piece has time to dry or the paint will not stick.

5Remove any hardware from the piece of furniture. You can use a screwdriver to remove hinges, doorknobs and any other removable parts.

6Cover any part of the furniture you do not wish to paint, such as a mirror, with painter's tape and newspaper.

7Place the furniture in a well-ventilated area, preferably outdoors. You may want to put something underneath the furniture, such as newspaper or plastic, to protect the ground.

8Shake the can before you begin spraying and several times while you are spraying. This ensures that the paint goes on in thin coats.

9Spray with even strokes completely covering the piece of furniture. Keep the can moving to prevent running from too much paint being applied in one spot.

10Give the paint 1 hour to dry and then apply a second coat. Check the paint can to see that this drying time is accurate for the type of paint you are using.

11Hold the can about 1 foot (30 cm) away from the object you are spraying. If you get too close, you will cause the paint to run.

12Allow the furniture to dry for several hours before placing it in its new home.

Edit TipsIt is best to avoid spray painting on a windy day. The majority of your paint will end up everywhere but on the furniture.Use a primer to make your paint job last longer.Spray paint will not stick well to a surface that is slick.Try to avoid painting on a hot humid day or in direct sunlight.
