[Review] DaYan ZhanChi 3x3x3 Prototype

Why the hell is there a 15 minute video for a review on a puzzle? I agree with the poster who said "tl;dw," definitely not worth the bother. There will be a 3 minute review, or less, coming out soon.

how how will a 3 minute review help you? if you want to hear specific parts use the time stamps. I could just say... It turns good cuts corners doesnt feel bad thanks bye... is that what you want? how is that helpful at all

I think your vids are pretty good. You have a very mature and calm voice and your presentation, albeit not perfect, is well done. If you have content you want to share then do just that. It doesn't matter to me as a viewer if the footage is long or short, if the content is knowledgeable and entertaining, I'll be back for more.

I agree with this. I like watching videos like this, especially if they have a lot of (relevant) information.

thank you!

Yeah, tall's video are long, but their is only good information in it, and he devide the video normaly in parts so it's less bad.

"tl ;dw"?

that's lazy - isnt there a scroll bar at the bottom of the vid? I just zoom into what I want to see. Or skip parts what I am not interested in.

Nice, I just got my zhanchi (iCubeMart contest) and am really liking it.

 

[ChrisBird]

In my opinion, you could say all that needs to be said about a cube (how it solves and whatnot) in less than 3 minutes, most anything else is fluff.

Obviously you don't want to know anything about the cube you are buying, because a 3 minute review can barely tell you anything unless the reviewer is talking crazy fast. Plus there is a reason why Tall adds the links to specific parts i.e. so you can listen to what you care about and move on.

I think what you should truly be asking yourself is "why the hell am I being such a jerk to a guy who is going out of his way to help me and everyone else out"?!

Sure dude, call me a jerk if you want, I honestly don't care. But instead of spending 1:45 on how it's size compares to other cubes, you could just say "It's bigger than this cube, smaller than this one, and I prefer the size over the others."
One sentence surely doesn't take that long to say.

And sure, maybe my view of this is different than yours, that's cool, but I just think 15 minutes is completely crazy.

Everyone is entitled to their own beliefs, but the way you expressed your beliefs came off as rude and inconsiderate.

A river has been cried for you. Some people present their opinions in different ways.

I, personally, would rather see cube comparisons side-by-side, visually. That's why the video was made - I don't think there's a point to making a video if all you want to say is "this cube is better in corner cutting than this one (45 degrees vs 40 degrees)", etc.

Finally a response that has more than personal attacks in it.

I, like you, enjoy the visual comparisons, but it doesn't take 1:45 to slide the cube next to another for a second and then move on. Do you see what I'm getting at? Even without editing it can be done well in 15 seconds.

I'm not trying to be picky, but when a 3 minute review is more than satisfactory, 5x longer seems unnecessary.

 

[Drake]

He give all details that the peoples need to know about the cube, try to resum one of hes review in less then 3 minute and you have my respect. He try to make the review just like if you would have the cube in had.

 

[ChrisBird]

Drake, if you really want to see that, I can do that. It's not hard at all.

 

[choza244]

I think is a very good review and for the ones that are really interested in the cube, the 15 mins of info is not crazy, that's why he did a main menu, so the people can choose what to watch. I really watched it all and don't care how long it is because it was very useful.

 

[Drake]

Review all of he say in one video? Your are an good cuber and evrything and evrybody have their opinion, but a less he take the time to edit hes video and make section to make it shorter, in a sence.

 

[jskyler91]

When one acts like a jerk, they should expect to be called one.

I'm sorry dude, your grammar/spelling is making it almost impossible to understand what you are trying to say.

Of course, but calling someone a jerk instead of giving a reasonable sound argument just makes your position less valid. Unless you can give good arguments as to why you are right (personal attacks do nothing for you) then you can't expect to be treated with any amount of respect.
