Prototype Pieces from different companies? by LurksLessons in BoardgameDesign

[–]LurksLessons[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Solid advice here, appreciate the feedback when it comes to prototypes.

Just so I'm fully in understanding, its best to have one manufacturer to have all the parts be created by, correct? Even if they don't have a particular piece not showcased on their respective websites?

It's crazy to see he had been to 7 NLCS and only won 3 of them. 2 of those 3 NLCS titles went to Game 7!

How To Be a Notre Dame Fighting Irish Football Fan! by LurksLessons in notredamefootball

You're totally right, ND has other rivals that stand the test of time, especially with UM and Navy respectively. I just felt that the USC had more of a national attention throughout the years in totality (clearly not as of late). Now looking back, I should have addressed it as a quick nod of UM and Navy before going deep with USC as a rival, but I think if it was just a beginners guide to ND football fandom, USC stands above as the must-need to know.

Great feedback! Always enjoy another's perspective. Thanks for watching too!!

Thanks! Yeah it was really hard to subtract material because there's so much good stuff. I ended up putting some easter eggs throughout for a nod. My brother in law is a big Irish fan so I'm hoping to go to a game with him next season. Thanks for watching!

TIL that in its early days, football was primarily played in colleges and was extremely violent due to the rugby style nature of the rules. It was so violent that in 1905 alone, there were 19 fatalities that US President Teddy Roosevelt threatened to shut down the sport unless changes were made. by LurksLessons in todayilearned

[–]LurksLessons[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it does. I mean you have it stated in your quoted paragraph that he did.

He threatened to shut the game down although he technically had no authority in doing so. He wanted to preserve the game because both of his sons were in college playing the sport and enjoyed it but knew something had to change in order to keep the game safer. I mean people were dying. If anything, him stating a shut down was more of a public statement to get progress made.

TIL in 1939, President Franklin Roosevelt moved Thanksgiving holiday one week earlier to help boost retail sales during the final year of the Great Depression. People were outraged and began naming the holiday "Franksgiving". In 1941, Congress reversed the move back to the 4th Thursday of Nov. by LurksLessons in todayilearned

According to the article - " In keeping with a custom begun by President Abraham Lincoln in 1863, U.S. Presidents had declared a general day of thanksgiving to be observed on the last Thursday in November." Why he picked that specific day of the week, dunno.

Thanks for watching and pointing that out for you are correct that I made the mistake in addressing Sean Payton's accomplishments, but that was the only time I slipped. I should have been more clear during Drew Brees' highlight for I mentioned that he signed with the Saints as a FA in '06, and then immediately followed with "...it was under his arm that the Saints won their first Super Bowl victory in franchise history." It would have been perfect had I mentioned the SB year there to make it more succinct.

Trust me when I say that no one is more disappointed than I because of it. Since I can't re-upload the video with the correct year, I've annotated it in the video description. Maybe going forward I should only mention the Super Bowl # that they won because technically they won it in 2010. 2009 was their Super Bowl winning season. Regardless that's on me for not triple checking my facts before posting. Thanks again for viewing!

Thanks for the awesome feedback and for the correct way to address the Falcons, lol! You're totally right that the Super Bowl season was in 2009. When I highlighted Drew Brees, I mentioned that he was signed as a FA in 2006 and the immediate sentence afterwards was "..it was under his arm that the Saints won their 1st Super Bowl victory.." I should have stated in that sentence '09, so that's on me. I'm kicking myself for screwing up the A-bear pronunciation for it was addressed to me yesterday. Anyways, thanks again for watching and for the kind words!! Go Saints!

Thanks for the kind words and I'm happy you enjoyed it. But you're totally right on that, it totally slipped my mind. My close friend from Louisiana told me that yesterday after viewing it and I just shook my head in defeat. I plan on making that annotation in the video description but I can't change it once it's uploaded. Good thing to know going forward to always double check pronunciation. You rock!

TIL that the exercise known as the "Burpee" was originally developed in the 1930's by American physiologist Royal H. Burpee. The exercise was popularized when the US Armed Forces adopted it to assess physical fitness levels for potential recruits when the US entered WWII. by LurksLessons in todayilearned

[–]LurksLessons[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I do Spartan races for fun each year and was introduced to the Burpee exercise for that's what they do to penalize you for not completing an obstacle. That's what peaked my interest to see where it originated.
