Meeting the other Chris Hardwick!

So cool! I'm glad you didn't put the piece in wrong and then would have to take it out and reverse it.

Three of the center caps popped out and I had to pop them back in before starting the solve. Since I knew the solution would be solvable, I used the fixing time to inspect for cross a little bit I was planning to do a no-inspection solve, as I've learned that no-inspection goes over much better to non-cubers than with inspection.

Great video! I'm glad you got the chance to meet him.

Thanks for sharing Chris! I think your turning style made the solve seem cooler

If you did BLD, they would have lost their minds.

This is why the cubing community is my favorite.

 

[Berd]

Hahah awesome!

 

[Stefan]

Loved it, was grinning the whole time watching

 

[ryanj92]

Aww, that's so cool!

 

[MarcelP]

Very very cool. And why has Brest not reconstructed yet???

 

[cmhardw]

Very very cool. And why has Brest not reconstructed yet???

I'm not sure if the quality is good enough?

I remember I did yellow cross, and that two cross pieces were correctly permuted in relation to each other but were a double turn away from being solved. I had the lightning bolt shaped OLL, and I don't remember the PLL. I'll take a look at the video later and see if I can piece it together, if Brest hasn't already.

Very very very cool video, it was so fun to watch! Congrats on doing this

I got interviewed by @DiHard11 as she's known on Twitter for her Podcast after the Chris Hardwick Funcomfortable tour! She has interviewed nerdist Chris Hardwick on her podcast before too, so this was a really neat opportunity! Check it out, the episode went up today!

How do you remember anything about the solve?!? I would not remember anything about the solve.

Great stuff Chris, I thought you came across really well.
I think you were much more natural than the host, I lost count of the number of times she went "er...yeah...cool...uh", it was painful at times. Has she really done 160 of those?
But anyway, like I say...gj :tu
Brilliant to see you getting some more positive exposure for the community.

It's just sort of burned in as a snapshot or picture memory. I probably remembered it because my adrenaline was up very high?

I do still plan to try to reconstruct the solve, I just haven't had much time the last week or so, the end of this semester has been a heavy workload.

Thanks for watching the video, and it makes me grin to know that watching the video made you grin

The host was very nice to talk to, and her energy about comedy and fan type shows, Dr. Who and others, felt very similar to our passion about cubing. She posts on her Twitter that she is working on her podcast hosting "presence" I guess you could call it. I haven't listened to any of her other episodes yet, but I would like to listen to the one where she interviews nerdist Chris. I'm glad it was positive exposure for cubing, that's always a good thing. Thanks for listening!
