Depuis des années, James Ernest est hanté par le spectre d'un double étrange. L'homme lui ressemble et parle exactement comme lui, ses amis et sa famille prenant l'homme pour Jim. Il semble être partout; ou du moins, partout où Jim n'est pas. Bien sûr, Jim a confirmé plus tard qu'il n'était pas l'homme qu'ils avaient vu.

Blog post accompanying this episode: https://hittingperformancelab.com/improving-pro-hitter-from-75-mph-ball-exit-speed-to-85-mph-in-one-hour/ James Ernest from The Grueling Truth recently interviewed me on his sports podcast episode, “Sports of All Sorts: Joey Myers Author of “The Catapult Loading System” Baseball Hitting Book”. Thanks again James for having me on! (PLEASE NOTE: the audio isn't quite the best on my end, since he was interviewing me over the phone.) I've included time-stamps below, so you can freely navigate through the audio interview…ENJOY! At about 0:10 second mark, James asked me to tell him about the Catapult Loading System (CLS) book, working on the second edition of the book now and new additions to it. At about 2:40 minute mark, what the Hitting Performance Lab is all about, applying human movement principles validated by REAL science, to hitting a ball, Anatomy Trains by Thomas Myers, The Spinal Engine by Dr. Serge Gracovetsky, Dynamic Body by Dr. Erik Dalton. Base system off higher standard: REAL science, not “bro-science”, data (experiments, stats, etc.) and technology (Zepp, SwingTracker, BlastMotion, HitTrax) are great to measure, test, re-measure. At about 6:30 minute mark, James asked what the difference between hitting “philosophy” versus hitting “principles”, talk about bowling “bumper” analogy, “Theories” are okay but MUST have a REAL science to back them up, is body-weight a good indicator of batted ball distance? Are athletic “freaks” the only ones who can triple their body-weight in batted ball distance? At about 10:30 minute mark, James asked me to clarify “body loading”, is the body just a rubber band system? The difference between compression and tension forces and springy fascia, what is fascia and why the secret to consistent power is found in it. How an elite hitter loads these compression and tension forces, the Springy ‘X' Pattern, and the Goldilocks Golden Rule, how to match the plane of the pitch, not teaching hitters to hit “pop-flies” or ground-balls. At about 15:30 minute mark, James asked how we teach the Springy ‘X' Pattern to younger hitters, ‘Showing Numbers' and “back eye test“, using back elbow for Downhill Shoulder Angle, to get the ‘Scap Row' we use “hiding their hands from pitcher” cue, “Finger Pressure”, the “Hollow” or “Hunched Position“, head positioning and following the “One-Joint Rule“, At about 21:00 minute mark, James asked who taught or supported me in this information? Where learning this originated from, self taught, started from trying to fix a chronic knee tightness, reverse engineered the swing through human movement principles validated by science, Aaron Judge and Sierra Romero as great models for an effective swing. At about 24:00 minute mark, follow up question on the difference between first and second edition of the CLS book, the path to finding the truth to consistency in the swing, how the tens of thousands of coaches reading and applying the principles are getting the same results – if not better – with their hitters that I am with mine! How we improved free agent Professional hitter recently using a wood bat off Backspin Tee, 75-mph Ball Exit Speed to 85-mph in one hour. At about 28-minute mark, where can people learn more about what we're doing here at Hitting Performance Lab?

Live Weeknights 9 pm PST - Midnight PSThttps://www.lightingthevoid.comJames Brown has worked as a commercial contractor and builder for five decades. His family-owned construction company has built 2,300 homes, commercial buildings, and multi-family dwellings, winning five national awards for energy efficiency in cold weather climates.He describes himself as a practical thinker and believes that the logic and results of his research need to make practical sense. His perspectives on design and construction led him to question the simplistic assertion that pyramids were built as tombs. A well-known axiom in the building is “form follows function.”Brown’s journey began in 1977 with an epiphany regarding the nature of pyramids and a resulting relentless desire to comprehend the true purpose of the Great Pyramid of Giza. Being a professional builder and designer, he further developed a passion to decode the purposefully designed monuments of ancient Egypt. James Brown has traveled to Egypt multiple times since the 1970s, gathering evidence and data to support his alternative theories and ongoing research. He plans to build a scale model replica using pyramid geometry, modern materials, and updated methods, to demonstrate that the Great Pyramid’s main purpose was to electrify the water.JamesErnestBrown.comhttp://www.AncientEnergyResearch.comhttp://www.ElectricAncientEgytpians.comhttp://www.FireInMiddle.comMusic By://www.chronoxofficial.comGuitar B Bundy

Intro Banter: The guys catch up with very exciting news from the world of gaming, and the...world in general.   Intro Banter Part Deux: Tarifs! And you the boardgamer! So….Tariffs for US gamers with China may add as much as 25% (stated) to board games that are coming out of that country to here. Other things as well, but this is a board game podcast. What does this mean? It means LOOK before you leap, it means see if you can source the game locally (used, don’t pay gougers) it means you may have to wait it out or do without for a time. It means that if there are issues that are reaching into your pocketbook, we MUST put the games down sometimes and see what the rest of the world is doing and do our part to address deficiencies that WE have felt, if we are so moved.   Purchase news: GTG purchased Cheap@$$ games recently, what can this mean?: link here. Greater Than Games announced today that it has acquired Cheapass Games. Greater Than Games is best known for the award winning Spirit Island and Sentinels of the Multiverse, while Cheapass Games is known for their low cost, black and white game (and more recently an upgraded version of Kill Dr. Lucky). From their PR Spokesperson: “The acquisition of Cheapass Games is the culmination of several years of friendship between the two companies. Cheapass Games has created richly-themed black and white games since its inception in 1996, with the introduction of full-color games, such as Tak, Kill Doctor Lucky and Unexploded Cows, in later years. “I’m thrilled to have Greater Than Games take over publishing current and future Cheapass Games titles, and I look forward to working with them on a variety of projects,” said James Ernest, exiled leader of Cheapass Games. As we undergo this transition, Greater Than Games looks forward to supporting the Cheapass Games product lines, demo staff, and fan base. “ Original source:  https://www.boardgamequest.com/ The Long Haul (Project Play) - the hosts pick an ambitious and far reaching goal and see it through and chronicle it for the show!

Check out the podcast as I talk with James Ernest about their ongoing Kickstarter for Button Men - Beat People Up. Button Men is a quick, strategic dice game designed by James Ernest. It's easy to learn, loaded with strategy, and one of the cleverest games we've ever made. Each player selects a character card, and uses the dice described on the card. Players start by rolling all of their dice, and then take turns capturing each other's dice. You score points based on the size of the dice you capture (and keep), and the player with the most points wins. With endless variations of character recipes, unusual die types, and some simple new 'campaign' rules, Button Men is a game you can enjoy again and again. www.cheapass.com www.beatpeopleup.cheapashttp://cheapass.com/s.com http://www.drivethrucards.com/builder/buttonmen https://www.facebook.com/ActualCheapassGames/ www.twitter.com/cheapassgames www.twitter.com/cheapassjames https://jococruise.com/ www.birdscoffeecompany.com/ Use Code Legends10 to get 10% off your order!

James Ernest began his gaming career in 1993 as a technical writer for Wizards of the Coast. He has written the rules for Magic: The Gathering a grand total of four times. Unfortunately, none of these was the lucrative first time. Burdened with an abundance of unpublished games and alarmed by first-hand exposure to the tribulations of traditional game publishing, he launched Cheapass Games in 1996 with the flagship title Kill Doctor Lucky. The slow start of Cheapass Games in 1996 is marked by the fact that Kill Doctor Lucky won the Origins Award for Best Abstract Board game of the following year. For ten years, Cheapass Games released about twelve games per year, winning several awards and bringing light and joy to the hearts of dozens of humans. However, James Ernest was not able to pay his rent with light and joy. Thus, with a heavy heart and an empty bank account, James Ernest shuttered Cheapass Games, fired all of his staff, and retired into a dark cave called the computer games industry, in which he was forced to subsist on a massive paycheck and decent benefits. After more than five years in his cave, James Ernest has re-emerged Willy Wonka-style, producing new versions of his old games as well as some entirely new creations. http://cheapass.com/ https://www.facebook.com/ActualCheapassGames https://www.instagram.com/cheapassgames/ https://twitter.com/CheapassGames https://twitter.com/cheapassjames Theme music created by Brett Miller http://www.brettmillermusic.net/

Andy & Keith talk travel & conventions, and how different it is to be working at such events instead of just attending them. Then they talk about stuff they are each working, including a lot of hinting about licensed works they can't name yet. Keith talks about the most recent version of Gloom, and Andy's big pile of unpublished Fluxx decks, including Math Fluxx. Then they discuss the challenge of making a game design as simple as possible versus the gameplay strengths that can be gained by a higher level of complexity. Andy talks about Cosmic Coasters, 4X games, and advice from James Ernest. Then they discuss the exciting new world of print-on-demand books, and soon, tarot-sized cards. Lastly, they talk a lot about spoilers in a spoiler-heavy discussion of Mr. Robot.SPOILER WARNING: Spoilers inside.

Interview Starts 47:05   James Ernest Brown,  Author of Ancient Electric Egyptians - Penetrating the Atom with Electrified Sperm joins us for an electrifying chat. James has been traveling and documenting Egypt since 1978. The title of his book may sound crazy but after you hear this and see the results of his research you may think otherwise. He has looked at Egyptian art an hieroglyphs with a fresh perspective and one that starts really making sense. Put aside what you think you know about Egypt and come along for this ride.   He's done some experiments on his own with gold, faraday cages and electricity..... We chat about being inside the King's Chamber, the dogma of Egyptology, creating and carrying static electricity, alchemy and analema, and how much voltage does it take to empty a scrotum ?!?!?. We also touch on the Ark of the Covenant and other forms of ancient energy like the Baghdad Battery.     http://www.electricancientegyptians.com/ Past eps on Coral Castle http://www.grimerica.ca/grimerica-talks-to-joe-bullard/ http://www.grimerica.ca/russell/   In the intro Grimerica's first guest Efrain Palermo joins us to chat about his new book - Phobian Dreams and his ambitious ideas of a magnetic slip drive.

Andy & Keith just got back from JoCo Cruise 6 so that's the big topic this week, including Keith's story of almost being left behind on St. Maarten. They both did a lot of playtesting on the boat: Andy was showing off all the games in Pyramid Arcade, and Keith was testing out his secret “Project B” game. Other topics include one of the shows Keith most enjoyed, Imogen Heap's performance, Andy talks about visiting the Kennedy Space Center with other “sea monkeys” when the cruise ended, and they both share stories about hanging out with geeky celebs including other game designers, in particular James Ernest and Mike Selinker. Non-cruise topics include Keith's next version of Gloom, the differences between their roles as a Free-lance designer vs. being on staff, and Andy's experiences with wearing a giant mascot costume of an Uglydoll character at Toy Fair.

Here’s a big one. We spend an hour talking about dice, uncertainty, and information in analog game design and we still only manage to put grooves in the surface of the topic. This was a wonderful talk, though. We could probably do another hour about this stuff if there’s time for that someday. We drop some jargon and some names in this one, so take in these links if you just can’t get enough: Pascal’s triangle is a probability matrix about coin flips (or dice with 50/50 odds of success) that can be pretty important to know about. James Ernest’s article on volatility in game design is a must-read that Will presents pretty weakly from memory in the episode. What are we talking about when we say “Fortune in the middle” in this episode? Click on. AnyDice.com is a wonderfully useful tool for game designers and players. Design Games is made possible by our supporters at Patreon, where you can back NDP and Will right now. Every dollar helps. Music is “Dances and Dames” by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com).
