Upgrading And Other Gaming Activities

Upgrading And Other Gaming Activities I’ve been rather focused on Star Wars Battlefront for the last couple months, but it isn’t the only thing I’ve done lately. One big thing is computer upgrades. First, I replaced my GTX 670 FTW edition (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130843&cm_re=GTX_670_FTW-_-14-130-843-_-Product) with a SSC 2.0 GTX 970 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487088).

GTA V Online: News And Thoughts At Rank 120

I’ve surpassed the Rank 120 milestone, and unlocked the last rank-restricted weapon:  The Minigun.  I’d used it before, because you can get it in certain jobs and missions, plus the random special prize boxes that drop.  It is a very powerful weapon, but uses too much ammo to make it economical to use instead of …

Battlefield: Star Wars Battlefront Alpha Play And RIP Battlefield Hardline PC
