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 EditDiscussReport a UFO SightingUnidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) are of unknown origin and lack identification. The following article will give tips on how to document and report the sighting of a UFO.

Edit Steps1Remain calm. The second you begin to realize that you might be witnessing a UFO, your heart might start racing. Take a deep breath and keep your eyes on the mysterious object.2Look at your watch. It's important that you make note of the exact time that you've witnessed this event so that it can be checked to see if anyone viewed a similar phenomenon at the same time.3Observe as many details as you can. Of particular value to the agencies involved are these observations:What did the object look like?the number of objects observedthe shape and color of the objectobject changed coloraura or haze around the objectany cloud or smoke trails from the objectWhat did the object do?object moved or landedobject emitted lights, sounds, or other objectsWas the object engaged with other observable phenomena?other aircraft in the vicinityelectrical or magnetic effects, such as a car engine stoppingWere your senses impaired or impeded? These may be similar to points a law enforcement agent would cover.objects between you and the UFO that obscured your viewwearing contacts or glasses at the time of the sightingwearing headphones or anything to impair or prevent your hearinghave a cold or anything preventing your olfactory sensetaking prescription drugs, or under the influence of alcohol or other drugs4Note the time when the sighting concluded (i.e. you stopped seeing any unusual, inexplicable phenomena). It's very easy to lose track of time when you are confronted with an unfamiliar situation, so be sure to check a watch or clock as soon as you can after the incident and estimate how long the sighting lasted.5Immediately write down what you witnessed, including the details noted above. Be sure to include the time, location, weather information, approximate size, and information about other witnesses if appropriate. Try to draw a rough visual representation of what you saw while it is fresh in your mind.6Report the sighting to the appropriate agencies. A UFO witness can report a sighting to the following organizations:Local law enforcement agenciesHBCC UFO Research [1]National UFO Reporting Center[2]Mutual UFO Network[3]Center for UFO Studies[4]Sightings Report[5]

Edit TipsTry to photograph or record the event using video equipment such as a camera.In your report mention whether you have glasses or contacts, and whether you were wearing them at the time.Some reports can be filed online.

Edit WarningsUse discretion when discussing a UFO sighting because of the social stigmas applied to the topic of UFOs.If you were smoking, drinking alcohol or on drugs or medication at the time of the incidence, this may reduce the credibility of your report.

Pin ItArticle EditDiscussHIV (human immunodeficiency virus) is the virus that causes AIDS. HIV attacks the immune system, destroying a type of white blood cell that helps the body fight off infection and disease. Testing is the only sure way to determine if you have HIV. There are symptoms to look for that could be a warning that you have an advanced infection.

Edit Steps1Watch for the following symptoms:Acute fatigue with no explainable cause.

Diarrhea lasting a week or more.

Recurrent fever or excessive night sweats.

Memory loss, depression, or other neurological afflictions.

Swollen glands in the neck, armpits, or groin.

Pneumonia.

Dry cough.

Rapid weight loss with no known cause.

Irregular spots (red, brown, pink, or purplish in color) on the skin or inside the mouth, nose, or eyelids.

White spots or unusual blotches on the tongue, or in the mouth or throat.

Any of the listed symptoms could be a sign of another illness. If you have any of these signs or symptoms it is not conclusive you have HIV. The only way to determine whether you are infected is to be tested.2Know if you are at risk. You are at an increased risk if you have:

Had unprotected anal, vaginal, or oral sex.

Shared needles or syringes.

Been diagnosed/treated for a sexually transmitted disease (STD), tuberculosis, or hepatitis.

Received a blood transfusion during 1978–1985.

3Be tested for HIV. This is the most accurate measure in determining if you have HIV. There are people who have HIV that may show no signs or symptoms for 10 years or more. HIV can be diagnosed before symptoms develop.

Edit Video



Becky Kuhn, M.D., an HIV/AIDS specialist, discusses the symptoms of primary HIV infection that arise in some people during the first few months of HIV infection.

Edit TipsIf you are tested for HIV, do not let fear prevent you from obtaining your test results. Knowing if you are infected, or not, brings about change in your lifestyle and your way of thinking.Testing is easy, affordable, and reliable (in the majority of cases). The most common test is done through drawing a blood sample. There are also tests that use oral fluids (not saliva) and urine. There are even tests you can take at home. If you do not have a regular physician who can provide testing, contact your local Health Department.If you have used an at-home test kit and the results are positive for the infection, you will be provided referrals for a follow-up test. Do not avoid this follow-up. If you are concerned, make an appointment with your health care provider.HIV is not an airborne or food-borne virus. The virus does not live long outside the body.Please get tested if you are doubtful of whether or not you have this illness. It's only right and safe for you as well as others.

Edit WarningsNever pick up a discarded needle or syringe.One fourth of HIV-infected persons in the United States do not know they have the infection.STDs increase the risks of becoming infected with HIV.
