Hi from Publisher Hi guys, how are you? Have you ever heard of It’s Peppers Sims? If not, let’s introduce ourselves... It’s Peppers Sims is a magazine of Sim world entertainment. It was released on November 4th, 2015, and well, we had only two editions until we entered in hiatus (which lasted more than a year), we already had projects to return, but many of them ended up being canceled, but we finally decided to come back with it and this time is for real. Formerly it was only in the simbook community, but now we expanded to simblr as well. YES!! It will have version for the Tumblr people. It will be two magazines with the same content but in two languages. What will come in the next pages will not only be things about the simbook or simblr, it goes beyond that. We seek to bring entertainment, diversified materials, personalized content, news about the Sim world and general news, curiosities and more. Have you ever thought how heaven would be in other planets? And you’ve asked yourself “what if ...”? “What if... The teleportation existed? “ If you have ever wondered how things would be, if it were different, here we answer some of your questions.

4. SAVE OUR SOUL When you destroy your body in the teleportation machine, what happens to your soul? If you do not believe in soul or have already sold yours, skip this part. If you are a practicing Catholic, there is no way: you will have to do the extreme unction before the teleportation and have the new body baptized in the destination.

Call of Duty must return to World War II in 2017 Call of Duty will return to World War II in 2017. Assumed leaked footage from the upcoming game of the franchise - apparently called Call of Duty: WWII - appeared on The Family Video Gamers on YouTube. Now, Eurogamer confirmed their veracity with site sources.
The game marks the first return of the series to World War II since Call of Duty: World at War, made by Treyarch in 2008. Call of Duty: WWII is developed by Sledgehammer Games, Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare studio.
Activision - had already promised that in 2017, Call of Duty would return to its roots. It makes sense, then, the return to World War II, since this was the conflict presented by the first three games of the series.
In 2016, the CD Projekt group - which includes developer CD Projekt Red and the game sales platform GOG - had 584 million PLN (Polish currency) of sales income and 251 million net profit. The sales of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt were one of the great catalysts for this. The RPG earned 1 billion PLN in a year and a half in the market for the company and took the franchise to the impressive mark of 25 million units sold.
“For years, we have consistently prioritized quality and focused on a limited range of products.” The persistently strong sales of The Whole Witcher series vindicate our strategy and contribute to the long-term appeal of our releases. And by the end of 2016 we have sold over 25 million copies of The Witcher games, “said Adam Kicinski, president of CD Projekt.

A: This is a hard one to answer, but for sure, the most important thing Headlines gave me was the gratitude of every one, the good and bad things it teaches you, the knowledge, the social involvement and a lot of other things that is just too hard to describe.

My staff is amazing and I own them too much and it is because of them that the new content gets to the magazine.
