E.Y. Harburg said “Words make you think. Music makes you feel. A song makes you feel a thought.” (E.Y. Harburg). This could not be more evident than in the song “Love Yourz” by the rapper J.Cole. This song is about J.Cole sharing his experiences with fame and that he had to reevaluate the things he thought would make him happy. J. Cole also spoke about his troubled childhood struggles and how he is still trying to cope with it. He spoke about the misconception that many people have, which is…

Love. So complicated, yet so simple. It is as rudimentary as breathing, sleeping, and eating. But, why is it so overpowering? Why is it that when I am engulfed in its sweet fluorescent ocean that I can’t sleep. I can’t eat. I can hardly breath without thinking about him. It seems silly right? To let an emotion take over my logical thought process. How is it that I can be so on course, so on track, but suddenly I see Mr. Right and I am fleeing in every direction like a madman?

PS3 vs. PS4: A New Gaming Device What are the differences between PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 and which is better? Sony is slowly adding PS2 and PS3 games for purchase to play on PS4. I believe that PS3 is better because of its backwards compatibility.

Metal Gear Survive replaces stealth with survival in what is the first Metal Gear game without the involvement of director Hideo Kojima. Although Survive is the first entry in the Metal Gear series without Kojima’s influence, it isn’t the first spin-off. Released only five years ago on the PS3, XBox 360 and PC; Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance took the Metal Gear series in a completely different direction. Replacing stealth with hack and slash action mayhem, surprisingly, Rising worked. The…

Although there are pros and cons of the PlayStation 4 and the Xbox I, the XBox 1 is what I would choose to purchase again because of its better physical features, brand name,and games. The Xbox one has many great features but few look at the size width or even the software that comes with the system. The xbox one dimensions is 274x79x333 (width,Height,length) While the PS4 has a quite smaller model then the Xbox one with (PS4) 275x53x305 (Width,height,Length) A Xbox One controller comes with…

Did you know that there's another high profile video game releasing today that isn't called Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain? Mad Max, an open world adventure set in the same universe as the iconic film franchise of the name, also hits store shelves. The game's demos and trailers did a good job of showing of the gorgeous post-apocalyptic setting and extensive car combat and customization features, but what about the overall package? The first reviews for Mad Max have begun to trickle in and…

each other for the past 15 years to see whose console can be better. Along with the companies battling it out, the users of the opposite console also argue and debate about which console is better.
