Must-Play Upcoming Gaming Titles For The Rest Of 2016
Call of Duty

Many great gaming titles are set to launch within the next few months. Despite 2016 being almost three-quarters of the way finished, there are still many great video games to look out for during the rest of the year. Most of these games are available for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC or combination of them all.

1. "Deus Ex: Mankind Divided" (August 23, 2016 for the PS4, Xbox One and PC)

For longtime fans of "Deus Ex," this game will hit home. For anyone wanting to try a new game, this will be a great one. The games have always been action-packed, and the storyline for the series is very good.

"The action of 'Deus Ex: Mankind Divided' takes place in 2029, a couple of years after the events of Human Revolution and the infamous ‘Aug Incident’ in Panchaea that resulted in the deaths of millions at the hands of those who had installed augmentations. This event has caused a massive divide between those who have augmentations and those who don't. Amidst this emotional turmoil are various factions aiming to manipulate the public by twisting public opinion of augmentation to advance their own agenda and hide the truth of what really occurred." Summary from Metacritic

2. "Madden NFL 17" (August 23, 2016 for PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One)

This is the next installment in the Madden series, and Gronk is the face of the game cover. This game will have improved graphics, updated rosters and updated controls. Anyone who enjoyed the previous Madden games will enjoy this one.

"'Madden NFL 17' Franchise = Take your team all the way and put yourself at the center of your team’s Championship run in Franchise mode, delivering new ways to play and more decisions to make. Added features include the practice squad, full-player editing and the in-game ticker that keeps you updated with scores from around the league. Know your opponents’ tendencies every week, then pick the right drills to attack and counter those tendencies in game. This new level of strategy promises to deliver more variety and more fun when preparing for your next opponent, whether it’s a user or a computer simulated player." Summary from Metacritic

3. "Final Fantasy XV" (September 30, 2016 for PS4 and Xbox One)

"Final Fantasy" fans have been waiting a long time for this game! It has been in development for a while, and it'll definitely be amazing. The gameplay, graphics and story are all worth checking out.

"'FINAL FANTASY XV' is a fantasy based on reality. Escaping the flames of war, Noctis, the Crown Prince of the Kingdom of Lucis, embarks on an epic journey with his best friends through a world of larger-than-life beasts, amazing wonders to behold, and dungeons filled with danger in hopes of finding the strength to take back his homeland and end the battle." Summary from Metacritic

4. "Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare" (November 4, 2016 for PS4, Xbox One, and PC)

A new installment in the "Call of Duty" franchise, this game is set to release in early November. The "Call of Duty" series has always done well, and I'm not expecting anything different for this game. It should be interesting; this game's setting will be beyond Earth.

"'Infinite Warfare' is the first game in the franchise to venture beyond the reaches of Earth, framing a plausible future war in our solar system. Infinite Warfare also introduces an original cooperative Zombies mode that takes players on a wild ride through a new storyline with unique gameplay features and mechanics." Summary from Metacritic

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.

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.
