    My 5sec of Fame

    in Feeling Chatty

    This morning was a typical morning off for me; Coffee and browsing BGG and ST news, forums etc...


    As I'm sipping my coffee and perusing BGG, I come across a review in the "Hot In-Depth Reviews" section of the homepage for Freshwater Fly (my latest purchase). Then I suddenly I said...


    "SHUT THE FRONT DOOR!!! THAT'S MY REVIEW!!!"




    My 5-seconds of fame had officially arrived (and then was gone because, ya know, it's only 5sec).


    Ironically, in my review I say "I won't go in depth with this review..." So I thought it was funny to see my review listed in the "Hot IN-DEPTH Reviews" section. 🤣


    I was smiling none the less.

    @Cadet Stimpy LOL A dedicated solo gaming channel as a BGG team member. Hell ya! 🤣The problem is, I'd be talking so much about the ST crew that BGG would fire me within the month. 🤣

    Congrats, Derek! Even though I don't like the new BGG Homepage (I have bookmarked the Dashboard as my main page), it's a real feat to be featured there!

    Derek, perhaps Athena could do a Tarot Reading and determine if this was the first step on your path to stardom! 😀 In the U.S. we get "15 Seconds of Fame".


    It was a good Review. Nice photos, too.


    Did you go back to work last Monday? I hope it went well.


    P.S. Great GIF choice!

    Thanks for checking out the review Mike!


    I was back to work last Monday yes. By the time day 3 hit (after 4-months of minimal work due to lockdown 3), I felt like I had worked 5-6 days... It was a good tired though. Nice to be back with people in studio. 😀
