    [Member Intro] Long Time No See

    Thank you all for the warm welcome and the helpful answers. I know I could have found the answers for myself with enough time reading the forums but you saved me a lot of time and I appreciate you answering what are really frequent questions. The only thing I really need to know to get back into...

    [Member Intro] Long Time No See

    Jackpot. Forgive my ignorance, but what is meant by a global average? You mean to say you are consistently sub 10? That is actually insane. I think EJ was somewhere ~12 second average in 2012-ish and I was ~14. Magnetic cubes? Crazy. What are the most popular vendors to purchase cubes from now...

    [Member Intro] Long Time No See

    Hello Everyone. I first joined this forum in 2008 as an overly eager 16 year old who insisted on commenting on every single thread in existence. I went by the alias SneakyPanda. I'm a petrus solver and I haven't cubed seriously in quite a few years now. I'm hoping to hop into a Discord and get...

    Repetitive Strain Injury from WASD during gaming

    I played Quake 3/ Quake Live for about 4 years and nowadays I'm playing Tribes:Ascend which is still in beta. Both are very, VERY fast shooters that are very movement based. I haven't had issues until I started Tribes either. It's that 5 on 1 running with the flag moment where you're physically...

    Repetitive Strain Injury from WASD during gaming

    The obvious solution is to take it easy of course....but that's easier said than done. I'm sure all of you cubing addicts can understand. I was hoping someone might have had similar experiences and switched keyboards or something. I remember switching from the stock Dell to the one in my post...

    Repetitive Strain Injury from WASD during gaming

    I've been looking all over the web for info about wrist pain related with gaming on a keyboard, but everything I've found has been about pain associated with typing, not gaming. I play almost exclusively PC FPS games where the movement is controlled by WASD. I tend to get very excited and push...

    Lock Up Help

    Since nobody really mentioned it yet; you could go find some better algs that better fit your turning style. Of course this only really applies to lockups in your LL but still. The wiki has a fair amount of algs but I recommend looking up PLL/OLL videos from really fast cubers. Jammyman was the...

    Suggestion: Reply Notification

    I've wanted something like this for a long time although I'm not sure about the specifics of how to opt in/opt out/when you receive them. But it can definitely be a pain finding the thread you posted in, and then finding the page it was on...especially in a thread like OAQT.

    The One-Answer Question Thread [closed]

    Does anyone have any tips/tricks for actually generating specific subsets of OLL? Or just setting up OLL cases in general? Reading the alg backwards is a pain and sometimes they don't actually repeat or can't be set up with another alg. The best I've come up with so far is Prisma OLL trainer. I...

    What Dayan cube do you prefer?

    I tend to lock up a bunch on the Guhong V2. It's definitely a lot crisper and lighter than a Zhanchi though. I've got one in my bag right meow.

    [video] The Ethics of Cubing and Elitists

    I didn't watch the video but I'm sure I get the general idea just from reading the thread. I'll make a conscious effort to be a better person on the forum and leave my ego somewhere else.

    [Unofficial] 16.75 average of 5

    Welcome back man. We do videos now by wrapping the watch code with either [youtube] or [youtubehd] For your's it would be [youtube]18ej9-aeqq8[youtube] Except the second should have a slash before youtube. Edit you got it; but you should try the hd tags for a larger embed. =D
