The Gaming Garbage Man Reviews: No Man's Sky: NEXT

Images from featured post

You don't have to be too much into video games to enjoy "The Garbage Man's" games reviews. A personal favourite, I must admit. In this review post, he takes an in-depth look into the Hello Games title, No Man's Sky.

According to the author, "No Man's Sky is an extension of you, a desire of your own heart to explore, to settle, to develop, to conquer." With over a century of hours invested by the author, this makes for a trusted review.

"I am a garbage human being known as the Garbage Man. I write and I rate. From video games to movies and more, nothing is safe from my garbage reviews and monthly Unscrewed. Finally, pour yourself a fine cabernet, sit down, and read the newest Friday Fireplace Tales, put up every, you know it, Friday." — @thegarbageman

Read this and a lot of other well-written articles from this author.

In this next post to be featured, Haedre shares his journey working to create concept art for Exit VR, an Exit Game creator in Germany. The task was to concept Huxley, the main character for a virtual reality science fiction themed game.

It is always interesting to get the opportunity to see creators share details on their creative processes, and more so when the project is a big one like Haedre's. This post offers us just that insight.

Haedre describes himself as a "surreal, sci-fi artist, illustrator and comic author." You may want to keep up with his blog.

Here's his creation post.

Travel: There's no place like home 🏡

Images property of @guchtere

In this very exhaustive travel post, Guchtere takes his readers through the history of the canal through Zuid-Beveland to Wemeldinge in the Netherlands. History that goes as far back as at least one and a half century, and crosses events like the 1839 Arbitration Treaty between Netherlands and Belgium; and features historic figures like Napoleon.

This is an immersive and exhaustive thesis on a place with such historical depth, that happens to be the area the author lives in.

“On My Knees”: Original song by Sideways Geoffrey

The last one to be featured is this awesome rock composition by Sideways Geoffrey, a band that has Melody Russell as a part of it. In the words of one of the commenters, @macoolette's, it has a "moderate rock beat and not too much the head-banging type."

Groove to the rhythm of this one, as we draw curtains on this edition of showcase posts. I hope you had fun meeting these great authors and contents. Stay up-to-date with the curie blog for more of these. Remember to engage with the authors' posts. There is a huge incentive to do that (refer to announcement above).

This Curie Author Showcase was written by Curie Curator @misterakpan(Ubokobong Akpan), often with input from other Curie curators and reviewers. All images and quoted texts are the copyright of their respective authors and publishers.
