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.

On the birth anniversary of John Wayne, learn how to look like a cowboy

Pin ItArticle EditDiscussMovies, television, and even books have kept the cowboy style part of our popular culture for well over a century. Generally valuing function and comfort over aesthetics, our American cowboy is heavily influenced by the Mexican vaquero. There are a number of things you can do to adopt the cowboy style as your own. Just how cowboy you want to go is up to you.

Edit Steps

The Basic Cowboy Look

The basic cowboy look includes the bare essentials – all the must-have items that immediately say “Cowboy” to anyone who passes you on the street.

1Get a pair of boots. One of the most identifiable elements of the cowboy style is a good leather boot with a hard wooden heel. They can take some getting used to, since the heels and sharp toes are designed for fitting a stirrup on horseback. If you’re the kind of cowboy who doesn’t use his boots for much more than walking down the street, there are plenty of intricate and comfortable designs available.

2Slip on a pair of jeans. When a cowboy is working, he needs pants that are both comfortable and durable. Most cowboys favor simple jeans, with straight legs or boot cuts.

3Don a hat. A hat is more than just an accessory for a cowboy – it performs essential functions. A cowboy hat is traditionally worn to keep a cowboy’s head cool, to keep the sun off of his face, and to keep flying dirt out of his eyes. Fancy designer hats are readily available, but a real cowboy prefers an old hat, worn in hat, whose shape has been formed only over years of hard and constant use. For a true cowboy hat, look for the Stetson or Baily brands. Choose a beaver fur felt hat for cold weather, and a straw hat for the warmer seasons.

The Advanced Cowboy Look

The advanced cowboy look takes a little more commitment – and a little more courage. Not for the faint of heart, these additions to the basic cowboy look will make you stand out in a crowd.

1Wear a Western style shirt. To advance your cowboy look, find a long-sleeved, button-down shirt, preferably with a plaid pattern. Thicker shirts, of course, can be worn in winter, and thinner shirts when it’s warm. Some cowboys do opt for a simple T-shirts, but rarely while working in the sun. Either way, the look should be rugged. Designer cowboy shirts might include some light embroidery, or a chest flap that snaps closed on one side.

2Get a good belt and an even better buckle. Many cowboys prefer wide leather belts with large metal buckles, which are often made of silver or brass. These may have "western" themes, or the cowboy’s initials, or they may just advertise for a favorite tobacco or beer company.

3Grow a mustache or a beard. Cowboys are like any other group of people - some wear facial hair, some don't. But working cowboys, who are often on the job from sun-up to sundown, don’t have much time for shaving.

The Extreme Cowboy Look

If you opt for this look, your life is probably already pretty cowboy. Out in the rest of the world, you’re sure to turn lots of heads.

1Go outside. Cowboys work outdoors, not in corporate offices, so their skin is tan, leathery, and coarse from wind and sun, which they often see twelve hours a day, six or even seven days a week.

2Skip the manicure. Cowboys don't spend a lot of time working on their fingernails, or trying to keep their hands baby-smooth and soft. Cowboy work makes for rough callouses and dirty nails. Cuts, bruises, and scars are regular sights on hands that spend their time working with fences, lassos, horseshoes, and other rough materials.

3Get a duster. A duster is a long leather jacket, usually with large buttons, and sometimes with fringe in various spots. The duster is most appropriate during cold weather or while traveling. Like most things cowboy, the larger buttons are practical – they’re much easier to use with gloves on. A sturdy leather vest is a good substitute when the weather is warm.

4Strap on the chaps. Chaps are perhaps the most extreme of all the cowboy wear. Chaps provide extra protection and while working on horseback and at the rodeo. It’s not advisable to wear chaps in many other settings. The same probably goes for spurs.

5Finished.

Go past the song till about 0:20. You're steps in vid are there.

Edit TipsLearn to ride a horse. It’ll break your clothes in, and it’s just plain fun.Develop your own style. Just because cowboys aren’t overly concerned with style, doesn’t mean they don’t have likes and dislikes, or that they all look the same.Get out and meet some real cowboys, not just actors. You’ll find great things that will help you move past the stereotypes.Don’t call yourself a cowboy. Most cowboys don’t use the name much. And even if they do, they’ve earned the name.Attend a local rodeo. Events such as the Big City 'Stampedes' (Houston, Calgary etc), NFR's and the PBR's have more Urban and Wannabe Cowboys than actual 'working' cowboys.

Pin ItArticle EditDiscussLearn to draw the most powerful Jedi Master in the Star Wars universe--and the coolest one to boot! This tutorial will walk you through drawing Yoda in just a few easy steps.

Edit Steps1Draw a large circle for the head/face. Underneath the circle, draw a curved line as shown in the image. Once you're happy with your shapes, add guidelines for the face.

2Draw two curved triangles for Yoda's ears. Fill in the detail as shown. Draw Yoda's eyes, small nose, and mouth as shown, then add in his wrinkles and a few strands of hair.

3Sketch in the body. Draw an oval for the torso and each arm as a series of linked circles, as shown in the image. Add three fingers to the end of each hand. Put a walking stick in his right hand. Don't worry about creating precise details, since as many of the body features won't be seen.

4Add in Yoda's legs. As with the arms, draw them as interlinked circles. Finish each leg up with feet and large, round toes. His position is up to you, but if you want him to be sitting down or facing a different direction, then alter the remaining steps slightly.

5Sketch in his robe and cloak as shown. To depict the flowing movement of the cloth, draw in the lines as indicated.

6Use permanent ink or dark pencil to outline the parts of Yoda shown in the image. Add shadows/highlighting if you wish. Erase all remaining guidelines.

7Color Yoda in using the basic color scheme shown here. Your Jedi Master is now complete. Whatever you decide to do with your drawing, may the force be with you!

This video presents another approach to drawing Yoda.

Edit TipsDraw lightly in pencil so that you can easily rub out mistakes.
