Not really on topic per say, but why?? 5 steam games? 2 instances of minecraft? 24 tabs? (that one I can understand) all at the same time?

 

Not sure if troll or not.

"LTT's official.."STOP. I promise you aren't LTT's official bagel eater or whatever. Trust me.

He should realize that you never really have more than one game open at a time. Who plays more than one game at the same time? Maybe if you're bored and playing two RTS games or something.

 

No one on their Xbone says "man, I wish I could play halo 4 and Advanced Warfare at the same time", it's nor practical.
