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.

Gaming frowned upon as a career?

Remember when you used to dream about getting paid to game,(no we aren't talking about testing games because that shit sucks) about playing Unreal Tournament and Counterstrike as a career? Pro gaming has been around quite a while, but with the power of streaming and the internet, it's become a reality for more than a lucky few. This year has seen the largest growth in esports ever and it's likely not stopping. Starcraft II, League of Legends, Halo, Street Fighter and the list goes on for largely popular titles in pro gaming. This year MLG had stream views of 100,000 or more on several occasions and thousands more there in person. Despite this explosion in gaming careers, is it still widely accepted as job or a valid dream to chase? Gaming has become more acceptable the past decade, but to those outside of the community, is gaming seriously and aiming to be a pro frowned upon? Listen I know gaming is the truth, you the readers know it as well, but can the others be convinced this is a true passion to people young and old? Let's put the facts out there first shall we?

The new Lara Croft

I feel like the new coming of Tomb Raider hasn't been advertised as much as it needs to be. If you've yet to see the concepts and video, do yourself a favor and check them out. Square Enix and Crystal Dynamics have taken this beloved character and changed every facet possible. This isn't your daddy's Lara Croft but a new, vulnerable, and very human Croft. Gone are the days of practicing in mansions and the stoic personality, instead we see a desperate woman whose ability to adapt and overcome is displayed prominently.
