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.

GameStop taking unlimited PS4 pre-orders

You are here: Home » News » GameStop taking unlimited PS4 pr...

Posted June 21st, 2013 at 13:46 EDT by Ernest Lin7 Comments

A leaked memo was sent this morning from American gaming retailer GameStop to their employees, telling them that Sony has given the go-ahead to take unlimited pre-orders of the upcoming PlayStation 4 console.

The memo reads, "Starting now, through this weekend and until further notice, Sony has allowed us to take unlimited preorders beyond your current allotments. In other-words, the flood gates are open for PS4 system reserves, we will let you know when to stop preordering based on limited quantities."

GameTrailers acquired the memo from a source and verified it with another source as well. Reportedly one GameStop store originally began with 24 PS4 pre-orders available then saw the number available rise to 138. Last week, GameStop executives told Sony Computer Entertainment America CEO Jack Tretton they would buy "every single unit" that could be manufactured.

One has to wonder how many PS4 systems Sony will have produced by this year's end. Have you pre-ordered yours yet? Do you think it will sell out? Let us know in the comments & stay tuned to PSU for breaking news on everything PlayStation.

Day 854 to Day 888: Open Beta and Countries taking shape

June 2, 2013

Well, we are now a month into our Open Beta phase. It has been a very interesting month, as citizens continue to test out every facet of the game.  Over 1,800 have tested the game and more are coming every day.  We appreciate feedback on some bugs, a few exploits, as well as a lot of great pieces of feedback.  The game is slowly evolving, as the economy picks up, the political nature of each country and city is established and nations prepare for war.

Well, there are now 7 nations in WorldAlpha, and each of them is taking on its own unique look and feel.  In order of population, here they are:

Name: Earth Galactic Empire

WorldAlpha is, and will always remain a Free-2-Play game.  So, that anyone and everyone can enjoy it.  At the same time, for those who want to do a little more in the game, whether it is setting up a higher quality company, establishing their own political party, creating a city or country, there is the possibility of purchasing a Founder’s Pack which gives additional EarthBucks but also has some Special Items included with the Packs.  These Founder’s Packs also, is our only source of revenue, so by purchasing them, you help us continue the dream of establishing this online world, that we all know as WorldAlpha.  So, if you have enjoyed the game thus far, we hope you would consider purchasing a Founder’s Pack. 

We also recently added, for those who had already purchased a Founder’s Pack and want more EarthBucks, a special EarthBucks Bonus Packs, which gives more E$, but doesn’t include any special items.  So, if you bought a pack and are looking for more you may want to consider this.

Thanks again to all those who have purchased packs.  We really appreciate it.  Here is the growing list of our Supporters and Founders.
