Is 'The Sims 4' an Improvement on 'The Sims 3'?
I know it’s been a whole 3 years since The Sims 4 was released by Electronic Arts but even as I play it today, there are still things I miss about The Sims 3. In this article I’m going to argue for both sides and together, after all this time, we will finally find out which game is the best.

Death
Death is like this flashing hot, painful contradiction, of an ugly pain and beautiful release. A calm frenzy of fleeting life and a painful battle to keep it. And in these contradictions lies truth and pure emotion. Dying will bring hope back into your body and feed you with ways of giving up and accepting fate. No matter how you may feel dying is in the back of your mind telling you you're done. And when you come to accept this fate the only one there is you lose that flashing hot pain, replaced with a flashing white light, and the feeling of comfort and release. Death is like this, warm and comforting. Embrace it and it treats you with mercy, fight it and it is ruthless. Death is like this in its most basic form: inevitable. So, accept that one day you will die and that for the most part, you can control how and when. But always know that you can’t avoid it forever. This is what death is like.

One Flew Over the Mockingjay’s Nest
The Hunger Games series, which we were introduced to us in 2012, finally came to an end – a fact that leaves me disappointed in more ways than one. When I saw the first film, it was fresh, new, interesting and thought-provoking.

Silver Linings Playlist: Lionel Richie
Hello, and welcome back to Silver Linings where I find the positives in maligned pop culture. Success can be very fickle for musical acts, and it can also make absolutely no sense. How can any musician be both successful and despised at the same time? It seems very hypocritical to me, but that's the reality for plenty of people. So I decided to take a look at some of the artists that fit that description, and, when I thought about who fit it the most, one name came to mind immediately: Lionel Richie.
