5 Video Games You Might Want But Can't Afford
DB Hurley

If you're someone like me, then you spend a lot of your time lusting after beautiful graphics and amazing gameplay. More time that you probably should. If you're also someone like me, you can't really afford anything like video games. Those things come out $50 a pop at best.

Just to make you read and weep, here are some video games I've been drooling over this year.

1) Overwatch - $40 to $60

Overwatch may look like another one of those basic first-person multiplayer video games, but it's just a little bit more than that. Every character you can choose is completely unique from their design to their attack style. It looks really cool and I want to play it so badly.

2) The Last Guardian - $60 to $80


In this game, you play as a young boy who mysteriously wakes up next to a frightening yet adorable cat/bird beast known as a "Trico". The boy and the beast make the perfect pair to solve puzzles to explore and escape the temple they woke up in. The visuals in this game are absolutely breathtaking and completely individual. Plus, this game took over 9 years to develop. It's gotta be impressive!

3) Watch Dogs 2 - $40 to $60

This game first caught my attention with its GTA like vibe. The more I looked into it though, it seemed much more interesting than GTA. You play as a hacker who works for a large hacking organization in San Francisco. Once again, I was also drawn in by the cool looking graphics.

4) No Man's Sky - $20 to $30

Here's a hint: I'm usually drawn by cool graphics and design. For this game, it was the cover that got my interested. I saw it on a large piece of cardboard while I was in Gamestop, and I stared. While the price isn't as scary on this one, I can't afford the PS4. Therefore I can't afford the game. In this game, you are spawned onto a randomly generated universe with randomly generated planets. While this game has a 5/10 rating on Steam, I think it's a bit of an unfair rating.

5) Final Fantasy XV - $60

This game was in development for 10 years and everyone was super dramatic when it first came out. That's mostly why it got my attention (and the realistic graphics). This game is supposed to have a similar gameplay to Kingdom Hearts. You play as a price named Noctis on his fight as the rightful heir to the throne of his kingdom. Seems sort of basic, but look at that cover! Doesn't say basic to me. I expect a lot from these Final Fantasy games.

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.

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.
