Terry Crews building a gaming PC after finding Battlefield 1 fun

Also, if people actually watched the video linked in the op, they would see he says it in jest. Obviously, he doesn't try to come off in an elitist way about it.

Yeah seriously. Nothing controversial about Terry Crews. Dude is a sweetheart.

He did put a optical drive in 2016 though. Get a external drive if you are ever going to play a CD. You would literally use it like 3 times in 5 years.

I've had my optical drive disconnected because something seemingly happened to one of my SATA drives, though I kind of wish I still had it working as I back up my steam games on DVDs so I don't have to download them anymore, or download less due to updates. Data caps U.S.A. (shakes fist).

And? If he has fun, he'll have fun with the game stats be damned. Battlefield is a series where player skill in terms of KDR doesn't matter. So long as he's contributing to his team and going for the objective and able to out think his opponent he'll be fine.

he was all the way at the bottom and its sorted by objective score pretty sure he was the worst lol.

I've always been rather content with my setup and I'm not too envious of what Terry build....until I saw that fucking monitor. Holy shit do I want to waste $1200 right now.

He's always been cool in my book. This just makes him cooler, even better if he does it for his son.
Better wait for Neo if he wants to play UC4.

His porn addiction will be worse than ever!!
Beautiful PC gaming IQ porn that is.

Great looking build too man. I wish I was rich, a 2TB SSD is like the price of my current build alone lol.

Blinded by the luminous glory that is David Bowie's physical manifestation.

Eh, it's not like Evolve where him being the worst will drag the entire game down. There's 31 other players on his team that can "pull him up" or point out things for him to do (throw out kit items, spot, etc) to where he can still contribute even if he doesn't top-frag.

That's awesome that he's building a PC. He's a very chill dude with no elitist attitude and the fact he's doing this to get closer to his son makes it even more awesome.
 
He is probably the coolest guy on the planet, always played awesome characters on TV and movies and seems like an absolutely amazing guy IRL. He recently did some public talks about his porn addiction too which were pretty interesting and how he battled it with therapy

If you haven't watched Brooklyn 99, do yourself a favor and marathon through it this summer. A fantastic comedy and Crews character is amazing. Pretty awesome that he bought such a nice PC setup and has shared the time with his kid.

Just think, in the fall when you are getting teabagged in Battlefield 1... it might be Terry Crew doing it

This is really cool, I hope he and his son have a great experience. Hopefully he can somehow play pseudo-anonymously with his son without getting bothered.
 
He never said he was going to play UC4 on the pc, just that he was going to play it.

He said his son was a gamer. Maybe he has a ps4 and Terry will play it on that.

Terry Crew is the best! That build is epic.

Loved to hear him blow shit up and scream out "EXPLOSION!!" while doing peck dance lol
 
Really awesome of him to use it as an opportunity to bond with his son. I played lots of games with my Dad when I was young (he mentions "play date" which seems like his son might be younger) and I have lots of great memories with him.

gave away the keys to the kingdom.
That Asus card went to Terry Crews.

Haha, well, Amazon was caught red-handed cancelling international PS4 pre-orders to free up stock for local (US) buyers*, so I wouldn't be shocked. ;)

* When Amazon realised it'd been busted, the orders were reinstated with the shipping fee waived... but I ended up cancelling, anyway, so I'd have more to spend during Steam's Autumn Sale.

He chose Nvidia. He's alright with me. :D

Probably mostly due to recommendation to have less issue with drivers and new games. I want to go AMD but Nvidia just seems too good of a buy, and it feels like I want AMD just to be different.

So, how many loot boxes will he be buying in Overwatch, and it has the display patch now. It will look so good on that monitor.

If you want high end buy Nvidia 1080, 1070.

If you want low end buy AMD 470, 480. You could also buy the GTX 1060 here.

Bawlz (battlefield streamer https://www.twitch.tv/mugstv ) who was there said everyone was given free GTX 1080 which is probably why it wasn't listed. he was next to Zach Efron who was trying to play with a controller and doing pretty bad (not only because he was using a controller but there were a lot of streamers there who are very good at battlefield

A predator monitor with a curved display.

I just realized, he's kicking the Mac out of that room. Poor Mac.

Palmer Luckey approves.

Seriously though, aside from a Mac being overpriced, if you're not a Mac/iOS developer there's no reason to get a Mac. I love my Mac, but there's nothing on it that you can't do on a PC and if you like games, a Mac is useless. I think Apple has an image issue selling gaming machines. Look at Nvidia and AMD stock go up in the last three months due to the new graphics cards, huge growth in the business yet Apple doesn't want a part of it and all they have to do is stick a graphics card in their iMacs.

tf? 480/1060 aren't low end. They're in the middle but still have current gen tech and VR support.

That said AMD won't have a high end option until late this year at the earliest. Won't argue with 1070/ 1080 being high end though.
 
Crews and The Rock are so likeable it's not even funny. They are changing the stereotype of "dumb bodybuilders". Everybody loves them. How can you not? Seems that they are just positive and bring good vibes whatever the hell they are doing. I enjoy the hell out of them.

Add Kevin Hart (though he's not a s huge as them), it seems body builders are some of the most motivational and positive people, unless they are pumped on drugs. Arnold is kind of good, well when it's about fitness, I don't know how he is in normal life.

Wheres the gif of him celebrating his first kill in Battlefield?

Guy is a legend and always entertaining, nice to see him finding more ways to bond with his kids.
