E3 or Electronic Entertainment Expo is a yearly thing that gathers thousands of game developers and players in one place. E3 take place June 14 - 17 this year. Its a time where game developers and producers reveal what they have cooking up in their studios. This year makes E3 so much better though, for the first time ever they are allowing the public to attend the event. In the past is was only ever press and game developers, but E3 has opened it to everyone. This allows the players to have a hands on experience with the games they are exited for in the near future. Tickets for the public have already gone on sale.

E3 is centered in the summer making it a refreshing experience for gamers. Very few major games release during the summer making it the "dry season." The dry season is where most gamers pick up games they missed around holiday season or crack down on some indie games. E3 lets those gamers take a break from playing those games and preview what the future of gaming has to offer. The event is streamed over all kinds of social media outlets and news outlets. Xbox specifically has an app you are able to download for free to watch their E3 press conference.

Each major game producer have their own conferences that are packed full of games. Producers such as Electronic Arts, Sony, Microsoft and Bethesda reveal what they have planned for the future. Sony and Microsoft will specifically detail what they want to do for their consoles. Xbox will go into more detail about Project Skorpio and the future of Xbox consoles. They will also update fans on exclusive games and content for Xbox. Sony will do the same, revealing a large line up of exclusive games ready for release in the near future.

E3 has always been a big event and some of the larger producers like Electronic Arts host their own events the Sunday before E3 begins. Electronic Arts will be hosting their EA Play event the day before E3 officially starts on Wednesday. This event allows Electronic Arts to get their game news out before any of the other game developers do. This makes EA's games the first impression of the 2017 E3 expereince. Although this year year, they have some competition.

Xbox announced that they will be moving their annual E3 Press Conference to Sunday, June 11. This may bring some competition between the two conferences, but it all depends on when the conferences are slated time wise. E3 is setting up to a big one this year with many exciting titles being teased and some not even announced yet.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
