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.

PS4 gameplay can be broadcast via Ustream profiles, says Ustream's David Thompson

During a webcast discussing the marketing benefits of video streaming, Ustream SVP of Marketing David Thompson confirmed that PS4 gameplay can be streamed to outside platforms beyond the PS4 console itself.

The answer came earlier today in response to a question about whether PS4 gameplay streaming will be tied to Ustream profiles. "The Ustream service is going to be embedded in the PS4," Thompson replied, "so that any gamer will be able to click the Share button on their controller and zap up to the Ustream cloud and broadcast out to his friends, or her friends, on the PS4 console itself or on the Ustream website or the Sony website."

Details about how PS4 game streaming will function has been vague since the console's reveal back in February, when it was confirmed that Ustream would be utilized for game broadcasting. Meanwhile, Gaikai technology will allow players to interact with the broadcasts of their friends in interesting ways, like taking direct control of the game, if invited to do so.

Thompson's words today are the first concrete indication we've received that PS4 streaming can be viewed from other portals, and seems to indicate that PSN accounts in the next generation can be tied to Ustream accounts for things like scheduled programming, a recently popularized gaming trend made possible (though far from convenient) by Twitch.tv.

Broadcasting to Twitch accounts will be possible on Xbox One, making this newly announced feature all the more vital for Sony's competitive efforts in the coming generation.
