Whatever happened to Nakajima?

[PeterNewton]

So what really happened to Yu Nakajima? There has not been any significant news about his progress for a while.
Did he quit cubing? Is he too busy in university? Was he kidnapped by aliens?
I saw his profile on WCA, and while his average was excellent, it was not 'up there' anymore.

i really dont know, i would like to see what becomes of this thread though

If you watch his videos, he said he took a break.

 

[Lucas Garron]

He got sick with a bad case of the apathy.

Happens when you don't have anywhere to go. Good for me I'll never have a WR to be bored with.


Casey Pernsteiner, however, as been released from the aliens. Except she went to Uni in Texas. :rolleyes:

 

[liljthedude]

He kinda quit.

I'm not interested in cubing. If I feel fun in cubing when I went Japan Open, I will restart.

He did not quit, it is his hobby.

I think I will never be bored of cubing. Maybe because I don't cube as much as other cubers. I hope he will be back soon, since he is one of the best cubers.

That's the problem, it's not challenging for him anymore. He's so good, that it's just not fun. Perfection=Boredom (IMO)

If he was perfect, shouldn't he have a WR? (I know he had one, but that's not the point.)

Well we have different opinions of what perfect means, and I guess that he reached his personal level of perfection. Yes he had WRs, but other people who eventually got faster took them. I guess he was just bored that he was so good. I know I would've been.

 

[cincyaviation]

i dont think anyone could be perfect at this...

Ah, I see. Personal perfection makes more sense.
Wish he could have given his awesome skills to me before he quit though.

What if you hack levelz though?

 

[Swordsman Kirby]

He did not quit, it is his hobby.

Sure you can.

I wouldn't quit, but I would surely cube much less.

 

[dillonbladez]

i agree with that. but at my level, how can you get bored with cubing? so addicting.
