I'll have to look into it. All these obscure references makes me feel like I need to research some of these personalities...

Never a dull moment.

No indeed, BUT in this scenario, I don't think you want one guy doing everything anyway, I just couldn't resist breaking your analogy =p

Ya know what would be the best thing for this is all of the above! Or at least one John von Neumannn and one Carl Sagan. You need somebody in the video with the best facts/analysis, and you need somebody to make sure it all stays entertaining and accessible.

Can I be one of the Carl Sagans, Mr. OP? 🤓

Attempting to sum up John von Neumann or Richard Feynman feels like a disservice to them, but:

JvN is best-known today for creating game theory, but he made a lot of contributions to a wide variety of fields, including pure math, statistics, economics, physics, and computing. He also worked on the Manhattan Project.

Feynman, too, worked on the Manhattan Project, and is known for being something of an eclectic genius. He made significant contributions to quantum physics including Feynman diagrams, but he is also known for safecracking and practical jokes, as well as being on the commission that investigated the space shuttle Challenger disaster. I highly recommend his autobiography Surely You’re Joking, Mr Feynman.

Thanks for the history lesson. Very interesting. Unfortunately, I'm just a guy who likes to play games and wants to talk about it...

I hope you'll take a look at my videos, provide feedback and subscribe :)

I've posted two new videos in the last week. One is a Pacifica BGA replay and the other is a Terra Nova BGA replay. I'm really enjoying playing Terra Nova. The games are always very different based on the scoring round bonuses. Who knows, maybe one day I'll make the jump to Terra Mystica.
