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.

If your head was still pounding with all the exciting PS4 news as the Sony E3 press conference came to a close, then you may not have been paying too much attention to the short user interface video near the end, which you can now see below.

In the video, we see a young guy playing Knack and not doing too well. On the verge of giving up, he gets a message from a friend with a video showing how she beats the monster. This demonstrates how you can seamlessly move between user-generated content back to the game with a press of the button and also showcases the ability to share and communicate on PS4, something which is further compounded by the interruption of another friend via his ear-piece asking him to come and play Killzone: Shadow Fall.

The guy begins a download of Killzone’s multiplayer and instantly returns to his game while it downloads in the background. A notification pops up and the guy heads over to help his friend out in Killzone where you once again see him making a mess of things. No problem! A hit of the Share button allows his friend to send him a video of how to aim down his sights properly, duh!

All of this demonstrates how Sony plans to connect gamers on PS4, allow them to communicate easily and share with the touch of the button. It’s impressive stuff! Check it out…
