I'm Ethan Smith, and this is the STEEM Engine Express.
We begin today with a visit to Italy to see the Eiffel Tower. Yes, you heard that correctly. STEEM Engine Passenger @bafi shared the second installment of his LEGO Architecture series this week, which features a time lapse video of him building the LEGO Eiffel Tower! If you enjoy building LEGO sets, you'll want to check out @bafi's blog about the building process as well as his time lapse video shared on DTube! I'm personally looking forward to future blogs in this series, but be careful! You might end up wanting to put together a LEGO set!
Most of the video games I've played over the last few years have been on the PC, but this week, passenger @rodznocturne shared his blog, "Five Reasons Why You Should Get a Nintendo Switch," which as its title implies, points out several great things about Nintendo's latest console. The blog is very informative about the console, including what kinds of games are available and a discussion about its versatility. If you're in the market for a new console, check out this blog! It might help you make up your mind on whether to pick up a Nintendo Switch.
Also coming to us with a perspective on a gaming-related subject, @lunaticpandora shared thoughts this week on the behavior of players in online games. @lunaticpandora challenges the gaming community on Steemit to come together to discuss the widespread toxic behavior of video game players across the world. Gaming streams have become more popular on the Steemit frontend DLive, so this is a subject that will continue to face online gamers across the platform. If you're a gamer, head over to this blog and let @lunaticpandora know what you think!
This week, Passenger @lymepoet entered the Steemit Bucket List challenge and shared several places she wants to visit and things she wants to be able to accomplish in her life, including traveling to Patagonia and learning to sail! Blogs like these are always thought-provoking, so I hope you'll take the time to go read about the things @lymepoet wants to be able to do and consider sharing similar thoughts in a Steemit Bucket List post of your own!
Finally today, we return to Nashville with Passenger @bozz! Bozz and his wife enjoyed their visit to Nashville so much the first time that they decided to return for his wife's birthday! The post tells all about the activities and sights to see in Nashville, including plenty of honky-tonks and the Grand Ole Opry. The blog is especially encouraging considering @bozz's recent battle with cancer, which he's also shared many blogs about. I encourage you to view Nashville through his eyes and visit his blog to learn more about his journey. You may end up with travel ideas or encouragement, but most likely both.
The STEEM Engine Express features five of the best posts curated by the STEEM Engine each week across the Steemit platform. The Express is produced by Ethan D. Smith exclusively for The STEEM Engine initiative on Steemit.com, and is featured throughout the week on the SteemStar.net radio network.
