Finally got around to buying a Thunderclap to replace the one I gave away at Manchester. Got an extra in case I go for 3 in multi. Of course I needed to get a stickerless one too to see what they are like and my supply of giveaway Guanlongs is very low so I got 3 of them and who could resist the low price of the Guansu and I liked the look of the stickerless Qiyi pyraminx from some videos I've been watching and a friends kid messed up my Meiying today so I needed a Guoguan just in case. I have no excuse for the Dayan 2x2.
Thunderclaps are meant to be cheap. This one cost me $70.

Oh man. Every time. I feel your pain. I have to take a break from buying cubes though. I just broke the bank recently and bought the MoYu 13x13 :)

Well, then you are saved, because I have the rule of thumb of never placing a new order of cubes without first doing an Ao100 with at least one of the cubes in the previous shipment. And, as this shipment consists only of the Moyu 13x13... :p

Hah. Now that is a good rule to implement! Though, I also ordered a stickerless thunderclap and a bochuang with that 13x13. So I have a loophole ;)

Lovely solve as I said on FB Marcel. I am in exactly the same position where v1 is still main over v2. However be really interesting how the Cubicle premium GuoGuan YueXiaos compares when its delivered with the rest of my order :)

Yeah the premium YueXiao might be really good. I did an Ao25 with my YueXiao and I just can not get my Gans times. High 19 averages are the best I can get where high 18 is really not hard with Gans. Be sure to unbox it on camera :)

If you are going to overdo it then night as well do it in style.

Just tried multi for the first time. 0/2 in 16:58. Definitely a couple of execution errors in there. Memo felt good but I was nervous for some reason. I actually have a whole hour in the house to myself so might try again.

With the number of cubes etc coming in that parcel, I will be sure to do an unboxing video.

Some very, very boring sub 15 clock...

Good sip of the ol' tea there to prepare, 'eh?

I need to learn Clock notation at some point as I'm scrambling by hand for that.

Cubing always better with caffeine. A mug stars in all my Youtube videos :)

This might help for WCA scramble notation. Not mine but quite well laid out:-

Thanks that explained everything I needed to know. Messed up the solve and got 55 seconds, but hey, a week ago I couldn't solve the thing. :)

Cheers.

Yeah, of course you can 3! 2 in mbld is quite easy but everyone has to start from it. I'm sure you can 5 or 6 at the moment whitout any practice.

That might be pushing it. I need to organise myself a bit. I had no plan going into it and ended up not using any sort of journey or rooms. There were 3 visual sentences then some gibberish audio edges. I didn't even know where I'd put the cubes.
