If you've been on the internet at all this past week — and if you're reading this sentence, we're guessing you have been — chances are you've seen at least some talk about E3. The Electronic Entertainment Expo is a huge annual gaming event where tons of upcoming games are shown off for the first time, and social networks have been buzzing with reactions to all of the announcements at this year's show.

Social media analytics firm Brandwatch compiled some seriously impressive data about which games from E3 people are talking about the most. Check it out.

1. "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild"

To the surprise of absolutely no one, the new "Zelda" game stole the show at E3 2016. Set in an astronomically huge open world, players are free to go wherever they wish and do whatever they want for the first time since the original "The Legend of Zelda" in 1986. 

Expect to hunt wild animals, cook tasty meals for Link to eat, climb massive mountains, sneak around enemy camps and try to figure out what is afflicting this enormous world when this beautiful entry in the "Zelda" series comes out in March 2017.

Platforms: Wii U, NX (Nintendo's yet-to-be-announced next-generation console)

2. "Battlefield 1"

The "Battlefield" series, which is famous for huge multiplayer battles featuring dozens of players in one match, is taking players to World War I in its latest installment. The same scale and spectacle is back, with skirmishes between ground infantry, tank battles, aerial dogfights and zeppelin crashes all happening in the same multiplayer match.

Platforms: PS4, Xbox One, PC

3. "God of War"

The PlayStation-exclusive series of extraordinarily violent hack-and-slash action games is back, albeit with some major changes. Kratos, the face of the "God of War" series, has moved on from taking down Greek gods and is raising a son in what looks like the frigid Scandinavian wilderness. The story looks to be more emotional and personal than before, while still featuring some great-looking encounters with gross mythological creatures, this time of the Norse variety.

Ten years ago, a 16-year-old Taylor Swift released her first single, and now, she's one of the biggest pop stars on the planet.

"Tim McGraw," the first single off of her self-named debut album, was released June 19, 2006. A corresponding music video followed in July.

The former country star has moved on from her cowgirl boots and acoustic guitars to sparkly ensembles and big-budget productions.

Here is a look at her evolution through her 33 music videos.

(NOTE: A music video for "Beautiful Eyes" was released on her 2008 EP, but the video isn't on her Vevo.)

"Tim McGraw"— 2006. Swift was just 16 when she released her debut single and accompanying music video. Her curly hair and acoustic guitar were staples in her early videos.

"Teardrops On My Guitar"— 2007. Swift's second single was her best-charting song from her debut album. The video jumps between Swift pining over a crush at school and at home, where she's clutching a guitar in bed. The video earned her first MTV Video Music Award nomination.

There's evidence that tripping on magic mushrooms could actually free the mind.

Several small studies have linked the psychoactive ingredient in shrooms (which are illegal) with several purported health benefits, including the potential to help relieve anxiety and depression.

But, as with any drug, shrooms also come with risks. And because they're classified as Schedule 1— meaning they have "no accepted medical use"— it's been pretty tough for scientists to tease out exactly what they can and can't do.

Here are a few of the ways we know shrooms can affect your brain and body:

Shrooms can make you feel good.

According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, magic mushrooms can lead to feelings of relaxation that are similar to the effects of low doses of marijuana.

Like other hallucinogenic drugs, such as LSD or peyote, shrooms are thought to produce most of their effects by acting on neural highways in the brain that use the neurotransmitter serotonin, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse. More specifically, magic mushrooms affect the brain's prefrontal cortex, part of the brain that regulates abstract thinking, thought analysis, and plays a key role in mood and perception. 

They can also make you hallucinate.

Many users describe things like seeing sounds or hearing colors. A 2014 study was one of the first to attribute this effect to the way psilocybin affects communication across brain networks.

In people injected with 2 milligrams of the drug, researchers saw new, stronger activity across several regions of the brain that normally rarely or never engage in such "cross-talk." To visualize what they were seeing in the people given the drug (as opposed to those given a placebo), the researchers created the representation above.

These hallucinations may be key to understanding how shrooms could help ease depression.

Imperial College London neuroscientist David Nutt, who authored a 2012 study on psilocybin, also found changes in the brain activity patterns of people on the drug. While some areas became more pronounced, others were muted — including in a region of the brain thought to play a role in maintaining our sense of self.

In depressed people, Nutt believes, the connections between brain circuits in this sense-of-self region are too strong. "People who get into depressive thinking, their brains are overconnected," Nutt told Psychology Today. But loosening those connections and creating new ones, the thinking goes, could provide intense relief.

Benjamin Franklin began and ended each day with a question: "What good shall I do this day?" in the morning, and "What good have I done this day?" in the evening.

In fact, many great thinkers embraced the idea of constantly questioning things.

As Albert Einstein reportedly said, "Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning."

Of course, getting into the habit of self-reflection is easier said than done, as we often prefer to avoid asking ourselves the tough questions. As philosopher and psychologist John Dewey explained in his 1910 book, "How We Think," reflective thinking involves overcoming our predisposition to accept things at face value and the willingness to endure mental unrest.

But enduring this discomfort is well worth the effort, as it can result in the confidence boost necessary to perform better in our work and daily lives.

To help kickstart your habit of self-reflection, here are nine daily questions you can start asking today:

'If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?'

In 2005, about a year after he received his pancreatic cancer diagnosis, Apple's then-CEO Steve Jobs told Stanford's graduating class that, for 33 years, he would look in the mirror every morning and ask himself, "If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?"

If the answer was "No" for too many days in a row, he says he know he needed to change something.

"Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure — these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important," Jobs explained. "Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart."

'How do I see myself?

"This questions gets at your likely unspoken beliefs about who you are," writes Wanleo.com founder and CEO Deena Varshavskaya on Quora.

She says that changing how you see yourself in various situations can also change your actions and, ultimately, who you are.

"An example: if you see yourself as an unproven entrepreneur, the focus of your actions will be to prepare for later when you are more proven. By changing this to start looking at yourself simply as a hard working and capable entrepreneur, you can change what actions you take, who you chose to speak to, and so on," she writes 

'What is my biggest strength?'

VaynerMedia CEO and cofounder Gary Vaynerchuk writes on Quora that asking this question is the key to loving your job.

As he explains, so many people have jobs they hate because they haven't found their true passion yet. "They are good at a few things, so that's what they do here and there, but they aren't sure what that one big thing they want to do forever could be," he says.

"Stop doing stuff you hate. Nail down your strengths so you can discover your passion," he advises.

The week of E3 is always insane. It's the time of year where we get drowned in incredible new trailers for video games, and this year was no different.

Since you're a busy individual with all sorts of real-world responsibilities, we took the liberty of ranking the 20 best looking video games at E3 this year. Just for you.

20. "Agents of Mayhem"

"Agents of Mayhem" is perhaps the most appropriately-named video game in recent memory. The open-world, third-person action game seems like it will serve up the same wacky, over-the-top style characteristic of Volition's last big series, "Saints Row."

Some gameplay was shown at E3 in addition to its awesome reveal trailer, and we can't wait to see more.

Release date: 2017

Platforms: PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC

19. "Horizon: Zero Dawn"

"Horizon: Zero Dawn," though it takes place far off in the future, has a sort of caveman aesthetic to it. You play as a young woman named Aloy, taking on giant robot dinosaurs with your tricked-out bow and arrow. You take them down to collect their rare parts, but for what purpose? This is one of the key elements of the game we've yet to delve into.

This year wasn't the first time we've seen "Horizon: Zero Dawn," but the new trailer showcased at Sony's press conference shed a lot more light on what the moment-to-moment gameplay is like.

Release date: February 28, 2017

Platform: PlayStation 4

18. "Inside"

"Inside" is the latest game from "Limbo" developer Playdead — which, by the way, is free right now on Xbox One.

Much like "Limbo,""Inside" is a side-scrolling adventure game that features a strikingly minimalist art style. "Inside" also is infused with an incredible sense of dread, tension, and overall creepiness. If you haven't heard of "Inside" before now, you absolutely need to watch its incredible trailer.

Release date: June 29 (Xbox One), July 7 (Steam)

Platforms: Xbox One, PC

Your mobile phone can do so much these days. It can help you order a car, get your food delivered, and arrange for your laundry to get done.

But a growing number of women are using it for another purpose: helping them get pregnant, avoid pregnancy, and get general sex advice.

Glow, a startup created by PayPal mafia member Max Levchin, offers such apps.

Every now and then, Glow polls the more than 4 million women who use its apps about sexual topics. It also looks at the anonymized data collected by its apps to discover insights into women's sex lives.

Glow just studied how alcohol influences sex and confirmed that there's a definite correlation between how much a woman drinks and the kind of sexual behavior she might regret.

Devin Cunningham, a 25 year-old from Bellevue, Washington, is trying to prove that you can eat what you want and still get the body you want. 

Last year, Cunningham set out to eat Chipotle at least once a day every day for a year. He wanted to bulk up initially, and then slim down for summer. 

"When you enjoy what you eat on your 'diet,' and you do it in moderation, it is that much easier to achieve your fitness goals," he wrote on his Facebook page. "Plus, who wouldn’t want to eat Chipotle everyday for a year?!"

Last July, Cunningham set out to eat one Chipotle meal per day for one full year, plus one extra for leap year. He told INSIDER that he was "already eating Chipotle 3-5 times a week before this diet," so choosing Chipotle seemed obvious.

His goal was to bulk up initially, and then slim down for summer. He started at 156 pounds and 12% body fat, and his goal was to reach 170 pounds at about 14% body fat, then cut down to 150 pounds at 9% body fat for the summer.

To bulk up, he'd order "anything and everything," which usually meant double meat, guac, rice, beans, and salsa.

France is known for many things — its beautiful language, charming towns, and gorgeous beaches. 

While these are all true, the country's cuisine is not to be forgotten.

Whether it's a simple croissant or a classic dish like escargot, French food always has a gourmet feel to it.

We've pulled together 32 foods that everyone should try throughout the country.

A fresh baguette is possibly the most iconic French food. The bread is just as delicious by itself as it is with a traditional French cheese such as gruyère or brie. If you're in Paris, try La Parisienne; the bakery won this year's grand prix de la baguette (Paris's best baguette competition).

Crème brûlée is a favorite French dessert. Once you crack the thin hard caramel shell and dip your spoon into the creamy custard below, there's no going back.

For classic steak frites (steak and fries), try Le Relais de l'Entrecote, which has perfected the only entree it serves: steak frites. It's a Paris institution — attracting both locals and tourists — so lines can be long.

For many of us, staying in a luxury home or villa on vacation is a pipe dream — especially when those accommodations cost hundreds or thousands of dollars a night. 

Airbnb is known for being home to inexpensive rentals, but it also hosts a number of luxurious homes that are up for grabs. Many of these luxury listings are outside of most budgets, but just because you can't actually afford to stay at an English manor or an Italian villa doesn't mean you shouldn't get to see inside. 

Below is a round-up of some of the most luxurious homes for rent on Airbnb. For more, check out Airbnb's list of luxury rentals from around the world.

Island Harbour, Anguilla

For a casual $2,100 per night, you can rent out Villa Amarilla in Island Harbor, Anguilla. The five-bedroom luxury villa can accommodate up to 10 guests and has an infinity pool, private gym, and offers stunning views of the ocean.

Cartagena De Indias, Colombia

Located in the heart of Barrio San Diego in Cartagena, Colombia, this home sleeps eight guests and offers an open-air terrace, pool, and piano salon. The house is available to rent for $721 per night. 

Penafiel, Portugal

Located in the city of Porto, this rustic home features an infinity pool, four bedrooms, and views of the Duoro river. This cottage is — comparably — a steal at only $301 per night. 

Two years ago, Chloe and Halle Bailey uploaded a cover to Beyoncé's "Pretty Hurts" to YouTube. About 12 months and 11 million views later, Chloe x Halle was signed to Queen Bey's new label Parkwood Entertainment for a reported $1.5 million.

The sisters — who are 17 and 16-years-old — were recently in New York City to perform a show at Baby's All Right in Brooklyn.

They sat down with INSIDER to talk about their budding careers, and what it's like to work under one of the most famous women on the planet.

On June 7, Beyoncé performed a sold-out show at Citi Field in NYC...

One night later, Chloe x Halle sold out a much more intimate setting.

The duo performed at Brooklyn music lounge Baby's All Right with just a guitar, keyboard, and a beat machine.

You may remember the old playground adage in grade school: "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me."

Unfortunately, says Darlene Price, "this saying does not apply in the workplace."

Price, president of Well Said, Inc., and author of "Well Said! Presentations and Conversations That Get Results," says words, poorly and unconsciously chosen, can indeed harm your credibility, relationships, and opportunities for career advancement.

"Words matter," she explains. "They are a key component of persuasive communication. Regardless of the audience, topic, or industry, or whether the setting is a stand-up presentation, sit-down conversation, telephone discussion, or an online meeting, a leader uses language to influence someone's mind in order to achieve a certain result. That's one reason they're seen as leaders; their words compel people to follow. "

When you want to influence others to see something your way, deliberately choose to speak words that are empowering to others and avoid words that are jeopardizing to your message and credibility, she advises.

Four common words to consider dropping: "but,""fine,""actually," and"try."

Here's why:

SEE ALSO: 12 words and phrases you're using at work that make you sound dumb

'But'

"But" is a good word if you're aiming to express "on the contrary," Price says.

For example, "My boss went to the conference, but I remained at the office." Here, the word "but" opposes and negates the clause that comes before it indicating a dissimilar notion.

Now imagine it your significant other said to you, "Honey, I love you, but ..." Or if your boss said to you, "You're doing a great job, but ...""This powerful conjunction puts a damper on the preceding positive clause," she explains. "Similarly, imagine if a potential customer heard a salesperson say, 'Our product is fast, easy, and affordable, but ... we don't have any units in stock until December.' In this case, the word 'but' creates a negative that didn't exist before."

Hear the difference when you replace the "but" with "and": "Our product is fast, easy, and affordable, and we'll have units available in December.

"If you want to keep the tone positive and motivate others to act, replace 'but' with 'and,'" she suggests.

'Fine'

The word "fine" is a useful, descriptive adjective when you want to express superior quality or the highest grade, such as a "fine wine" or "fine dining." However, choose another word if you're answering questions such as, "How are you?""How's the project going?" or "How is our new employee Sue performing?"

"In any situation where you're describing a state of being or your emotions, the word 'fine' is vague, overused, and colloquial — the word may even be perceived by others as dishonest and dismissive," warns Price.

She says people often reply with the word "fine" in less-than-satisfactory situations just to avoid confrontation. "That's why the Urban Dictionary defines 'I'm fine' as 'the most told lie in the English language.'"

Therefore, in the workplace, everyone knows from personal experience the word "fine" doesn't really mean fine.

"To be credible and convincing as a professional, choose another word to honestly communicate the true state of affairs," she suggests.

When someone asks how you are, or how your day is going, respond with something along the lines of: "Very well, thank you!"

If someone asks, "How's the project coming along?" say something like: "On time and under budget! May I give you a quick update?"

If they inquire about how the new hire is doing, try: "Sue is doing a superb job — she's great with people and a real expert in her field."

'Actually'

Business Insider's Emmie Martin points out that "prefacing sentences with this word, as in, 'Actually, it's right over there,' or 'Actually, you can do it this way,' puts distance between you and the listener by hinting that they were somehow wrong, according to Carolyn Kopprasch, chief happiness officer at Buffer."

She suggests you rephrase the sentence or request to create a more positive sentiment.

When I say "big" purchase, I mean anything that shows up on your credit card statement and the dollar amount catches your attention.

That number will be different for everyone — could be $50, or it could be triple digits. In any case, if you get in the habit of asking yourself a few of the following questions before making a "big" purchase, you can easily remove some spending on items that don't add to your long term happiness and financial goals.

SEE ALSO: A woman who lived on $14,000 a year used a simple, free strategy to resist impulse buys

1. Will I need the item in the future?

When making a significant purchase, get in the habit of talking to yourself a little bit. Ask if this item is something you'll need in a week? In a month? Six months from now? Once you have your answers, then make the decision. By asking yourself the question, you can often quickly determine if it's an impulse purchase, which you'll never use regularly, or something you actually need and has long-term value.

2. Does Amazon really have the best price?

The biggest problem with Amazon is they make it so darn easy to make purchases and overspend. This is especially true if you have a Prime membership and with a single click you can have an item sitting on your doorstep in two days. It often turns consumers into impulse shoppers who rarely do price comparisons and rely on the convenience factor that Amazon provides. But in the long-run, there's no doubt you're going to overpay on many items, and at the end of the year, that money will be significant, especially if you shop at Amazon on a weekly basis.

See also:This Is How You Stop Online Impulse Spending

I recommend disabling the "1-click" feature and disconnecting your credit card from your account, which makes it harder to complete an order. You'll be much less likely to shop, click, buy, and overspend. Also, before completing your next significant Amazon purchase, I encourage you to pull up a separate browser tab and do a quick price comparison on Google Shopping. See if the price you're about to pay really is a good deal, and then proceed accordingly.

3. What is the return policy?

How familiar are you with any given store's return policy? If you're like most, unless it's a store you frequent often, you probably have no idea what the policy details are. Be sure to familiarize yourself with the policy, especially if you're on the fence about the purchase to begin with, or don't know if it's the right size, color, or variation. Will you be able to return it? What about if you open the box? How long do you have to bring it back? These are all things you need to know, so be sure to ask before you make the purchase.

See also: How to Get a Refund When Something Is Non-Refundable

Also, be aware of the return policy of "liquidation" or "going out of business" sales. Often these type of sales have a no return policy and all sales are considered final. With the recent news of Sports Authority going out of business, and selling their merchandise to a group of liquidators, it has many shoppers anticipating a plethora of sporting good deals. Be aware that more than likely, whatever you buy you won't be able to return. So be sure that ping-pong table will fit on your patio before handing them your credit card.

If you don't respect, value, and challenge your best employees; know this.

They will look for other opportunities.

Smart, talented people can find jobs anywhere. As a matter of fact, your best employees probably have two other companies beating down their door at this very moment. But, if they feel loyal to your company, they won't budge.

On the other hand, if you regularly display any of these behaviors, it's only a matter of time before they’re gone.

1. They go above and beyond to exceed your expectations, but you fail to recognize the effort

You always want more, more, more. They come in early, leave late, spearhead a killer campaign, take initiative, but it's never good enough.

2. Your feedback isn’t constructive. In fact, it’s borderline nonexistent

In addition to lack of praise, you also don't offer any constructive criticism. They look to you for advice, feedback, and commentary. You give them none. If your best employee isn't mentally stimulated, they'll look for other opportunities. A career is supposed to challenge and change you, not keep you complacent.

3. You play office 'favorites'

One week you're out to lunch with your operations director, passing out unearned praise. The next, you give your web designer a few extra paid days off, just because. The following, you shut your door and have an hour long gossip session with your customer service rep. Sensing a pattern here? Eventually, even the most dramatic, meddling employees will get sick of playing games.

If you could game the system, would you do it?

Users on the question-and-answer website Quora recently shared their "best" unethical life hacks that could score you everything from free Chipotle to major savings at grocery stores.

But be warned: These hacks are uniformly unethical. Some veer into fraud. They should be regarded as informational and for entertainment purposes rather than as actual suggestions. You shouldn't do them. If you do them, you need to take a long, hard look in the mirror.

“Most of these garages will have a grace period so that if you pull in but you didn’t really ‘park,’ you can leave and pay nothing. […]

"Next time you park in one of these garages, grab a ticket like normal and go park. When you’re ready to leave, pull your car close to the entrance, and go push the button to get a fresh entrance ticket, time stamped to that moment (when you’re ready to leave). Then, just go to the exit and put your brand new ticket in the machine or hand it to the person. If you’re within the grace period, you will be charged nothing and you can leave. […]

Harsh Garg wants to sell you the last thermos you'll ever buy.

For Garg, a self-described travel buff and the inventor of the new Golchi thermos, the point of owning a drink container is that you can drink what you want when you want. Single-beverage containers just don't cut it.

Golchi has two separate compartments, which means you can store a hot and cold drink, juice and yogurt, or any other two combinations you desire. 

The Golchi is also modular, so you can make a single thermos as large or small as you want.

At just $29 (in the Kickstarter campaign that will launch June 21), this could be the last thermos you ever buy.

Golchi's biggest selling point is that it features steel vacuum-insulated walls surrounding each compartment. According to Garg, hot drinks will stay hot for 12 hours while cold drinks will stay cold for 24 hours.

He envisions Golchi serving travelers and new moms the most, so he put adventure and convenience front and center. The thermos got its name from a mash-up of those two mindsets: Go and Chill.

"We talked to a lot of mothers, and they said they love it," Garg says. "It really empowers them and adds convenience to their life."

How did you hear about this position?

I know what you're thinking. Nobody messes this interview question up, right? I mean, it's the easiest one you'll ever have to answer during your job hunt. Ever. When I was recruiting, I approached it with the mindset of, "I'm going to ask the candidate to tell me how he found the gig just to break the ice." Or, I'm going to bring this up to know which of my many methods actually led to a qualified candidate sitting in front of me. Never was it ever a trick question.

But I quickly learned that in a lot of ways, this one trips people up sometimes. And because I've seen some of the worst examples, here's how you can avoid making the most common mistakes when talking about how you found the job.

SEE ALSO: The 50 most common job interview questions

1. You feel uneasy about sharing that a friend referred you

I get it. Nepotism, right? Yuck. Nobody wants to feel like he got his foot in the door just because he knows someone at the company. What's worse than getting a little help from a friend?

Dancing around the answer, hoping that you won't have to fess up to the fact that not only is your future on the line, your friend currently has a referral fee on the table for getting you an interview.

What to do instead

I hate to sound so crass, but if you're fortunate enough to know someone at a company you want to work for, just buckle up and tell everyone who asks you exactly how you found out about the job.

A simple response like, "I was excited to find out about the job from my friend who works in [department]" is a perfectly OK response. In fact, it's the only response you should be giving if this is the case.

2. You turn it into a monologue about why this is the only job you want

Here's a perfect example of an interview question that only requires a short answer. All you need to do is tell the hiring manager where you found the darn job. But, all too often, candidates get so caught up in the moment that they end up turning it into a long-winded explanation of not only where they found the listing, but also why they couldn't imagine working anywhere else.

Sure, there's nothing wrong with being excited about an opportunity, but when you're going on and on about how you simple found the gig, it can be a huge turn-off for a recruiter.

Chau is such a huge fan of NYC's Ice and Vice that he created a foodbaby flavor with the shop. It's concord grape, doughnut soil, rainbow sprinkles, and raspberry coulis.

Speedy Romeo in NYC is known for their wood-fired pizzas, and Jacobowitz loves their gravlox pie in particular, which features fennel cured salmon, ricotta, red onion, capers, and lemon.

It's no surprise that Hirsch loves the Don Huevo at NYC's Bodega Negra. The white chocolate dome cracks open once Negra Modelo caramel sauce is poured on it to reveal chocolate brownie horchata ice cream.

Chance the Rapper is the most talented rapper of his generation and a pioneer in the music industry. His latest album, "Coloring Book," released in May, is one of the best-reviewed albums of the year and debuted at #8 on the Billboard 200 list. It's the first streaming-only album to chart on Billboard's ranking.

Now the Grammys is making streaming-only albums available for awards consideration. Chance, whose real name is Chancelor Bennett, could make history again if "Coloring Book" is nominated for an award.

Miraculously, Chance has done all of this without a label supporting him. He's turned down record deals from numerous labels, and depends on word-of-mouth and his Soundcloud account for distribution.

Meet the most successful fully-independent musician of our era:

Chance the Rapper calls his albums "mixtapes." He recorded his first one in his senior year of high school.

He formally kicked off his career with the song "Windows." It got him some attention in Chicago's hip hop scene, and Chance spent another eight months tinkering with the rest of the album. When "10 Day" was finally released in April 2012, the album got over 400,000 downloads on the music-sharing site DatPiff and got Chance a cult following.

In July that year, Childish Gambino raised Chance's profile even more by featuring him as a guest on his song "They Don't Like Me."

Chance instantly became a star with "Acid Rap."

 Still label-free, Chance released "Acid Rap" in 2013. It got on a bunch of best-of-2013 lists and was downloaded more than a million times. The most popular song on the album on Soundcloud, "Favorite Song," features Childish Gambino.

Chance also collaborated with Vic Mensa, who's having a similar career trajectory, on "Cocoa Butter Kisses."

But Chance didn't keep doing the same thing over and over again. He joined a band and made uplifting Christian rock.

 In 2015, Chance joined a band called Donnie Trumpet & The Social Experiment for a quirky album called "Surf." The Social Experiment is a collective of Chicago-based musicians. The album is structured democratically: the artist names aren't included in the track titles, and different songs appeared on the Soundcloud accounts of different musicians instead of being collected together in one place. It would have never happened at a commercially driven record label.

More importantly, the music was a stylistic departure for Chance. His vocal performance was still rap, but it's not really a rap album. The whole thing takes a jazzy and explicitly Christian tone. The highlight is a track called "Sunday Candy." Chance co-directed the music video.

Bike commuting is usually the best way to get around big cities, and where I live, in New York, it's often the fastest. I used to regularly ride the subway to work, and that took an hour, and by car it was about the same, given all the traffic. But when I started biking, my commute took just 40 minutes. Recently I got to ride a new bike, an electric one, and it cut my commute even further, to a mere 25 minutes.

It is the Elby e-bike, which officially rolls out this July. Elby was founded by Frank Stronach and Fred Gingl, whose backgrounds are in automotive design and manufacturing. Stronach founded Magna International, a leading auto-parts manufacturer that, according to Elby, is the only company of its kind to build complete cars for brands like Aston Martin, Porsche, BMW, and Mini.

A lot of their know-how comes through when you hop on the Elby and start moving. It's well designed, good-looking, and really fun to ride. Everything about the bike feels very high quality. Having ridden it for a week, I found the Elby to be among the nicer e-bikes in what is now a booming market, particularly in Europe. I've ridden the high-performance $7,000 Stromer ST2 and sub-$1,000 models at trade shows like Eurobike, and at $4,000, the Elby, though not inexpensive, slots nicely into the middle of this range.

The Elby got me to work fast and sweat-free. It's one of the best e-bikes on the market. Here's what it was like to ride for 100 miles:

The company touts the Elby as "the world's first one-size-fits-most pedal-assist hybrid bicycle." The frame and fork are made of aluminum alloy, and the bike weighs in at just under 50 pounds (claimed). It comes in a variety of colors and sells for $4,000. The Elby will be available through independent bicycle retailers and elbybike.com.

I commuted on the Elby daily for a week and got to ride it around on the weekend, logging about 100 motor-assisted miles.

What impressed me on the very first ride was how smoothly the Elby accelerated and how predictably it handled, thanks largely to its low center of gravity and wide, high-quality tires. I really got a sense for its handling when I descended the Manhattan Bridge at over 20 mph. There's a sweeping turn on the Brooklyn side, and I felt more comfortable taking this section at speed than on the half-dozen other bikes I've crossed this bridge on. The Elby felt like it was on rails.

Another thing I noticed was how high I sat on the bike, in an almost straight-up position, which felt very comfortable. After all, when you're commuting it's good to sit up high, to see and be seen. And with no top tube, the step-through frame lets you hop on and off the bike easily.

This bike attracted a lot of attention, too. People stopped to check it out when I was waiting at lights, and more than a few passersby stared at it when I was riding down the street.
