How's it going, Steemian? I hope you're having a nice weekend because I certainly am, since recently that I figured that I could play Path of Exile nicely. So far I enjoyed the game more than I expected, although I still kinda suck at it and do things clumsily. Plus looking at those high-levelled players with wicked armours and weird stuff flying around them with auras and sh*t does makes me kind of jelly. My character looks like he's straight out of the sewer. 

Anyway, maybe I'll continue babbling about my newfound drug and how I look like sh*t in it on another post. Now it's the time for some good stuff by fellow Steemians, as always, that I hope you'll enjoy reading.

[Thinking While Gaming] Narciussu's Setsumi (Character Study)
by @ahmadmanga

Character development is one of the top priorities I always look for in games. Many times game characters are so well crafted that they become iconic, or lovable, outstanding, memorable, cooler than the main protagonist, and also stuck with the player. The character told in this post is the opposite of the one in the previous post, of the same game. This thoughtful [Thinking While Gaming] post series by @ahmadmanga is one of the most enjoyable posts to read, and this one made me think of the character that stuck in me. Check it out!

How much could your old video games be worth ?
by @fowlplay

Not old things will end up dying, you know. Such as video games. They age like fine wine. The older they gets, the higher their value. Well, to the right hands at least. But then again these "right hands" are not that hard to be found. If you happen to have your (g)old retro games hidden somewhere in your closet or under your bed, you may be lucky because they might be your ticket to get rich. If you have it in you to trade blissful memories with money, that is.

Will The REAL Heretic 2 Please Stand Up?
by @warbrand85

Speaking of retro, here have a look back at Heretic, a game made by the same studio who created Doom. I've never played Heretic before, but looking at this post it looks like a fantasy-medieval version of Doom, that took some confusing turns in each new installment which, I'm not sure was for better or worse because the way the author wrote about them here is amusing.

X Station 5, a small college project.
by @raizel

How about some 3D art? Here's a cool 3D art made in Blender by fellow Steemian, that is appear to be a handheld gaming console based on the original Game Boy the creator called X Station 5, a mix of Xbox and PlayStation. Neat. Question is, does it let you cross-play?
Anyway, looking at this post I feel bad for procrastinating on my self-taught Blender learning. My old Blender saved files are still there, waiting for me to get back to them.
