This wordpress site uses the twentysixteen theme. I have various plugins installed including Custom CSS in Jetpack. I have played about with the CSS a little to change the size and position of the menus and thumbnail. If you can see a better and more consistant way of doing this please let me know.
Here is the Custom CSS I am using

OK! So today’s discussion was on the classification of a game as a sandbox.
Wikipedia has this to say
An open world is a type of video game level design where a player can roam freely through a virtual world and is given considerable freedom in choosing how to approach objectives.Video games that include such level design often are referred to as “free roam” games.
The term is sometimes used interchangeably with “sandbox” and “free-roaming”;however, the terms open world and free-roaming describe the game environment itself and allude more to the absence of artificial barriers,[4] in contrast to the invisible walls and loading screens that are common in linear level designs. The term sandbox refers more to the mechanics of a game and how, as in a physical sandbox, the user is entertained by his ability to play creatively and with there being “no right way”of playing the game.
So is GTA sand box or open world?
