December SWTOR giveaway!

 

This December will see the release of BioWare's Star Wars: The Old Republic MMO, we can say the beta thus far has been amazing. Here at R&R we are certainly festive, you know with that Christmas spirit and shit like that. So in honor of the holidays we will be holding a contest to give away a free copy of SWTOR on release day December 20th. Refresh and Reload challenges our readers to get on twitter and support, we ask for 500 followers by the 20th and one lucky follower will be chosen to win a free copy of Star Wars: The Old Republic. Share with your friends, retweet, and comment because R&R is seeking to make up for those piss poor presents you'll surely receive from the rest of your relatives. If we reach a secret second number of followers, we'll have a next level present to give away in addition to the copy of SWTOR. Get out there support and follow us @AskRandR and look for the hashtag SWTORgiveaway!

A little bit of fun on this fine Sunday. Brought to us by Dorkly, this video finds the teenage mutant ninja turtles caught up in an argument over pizza. It won't be the first or last time someone says fuck you man because of a stolen health drop.
