Question for Macky: When are you interviewing him?

I hope later today, but I'm pretty busy judging etc.
[edit] Sunday evening. Keep asking good questions.

 

[RubikZz]

What is his favorite even, not by 3x3.

 

[Sa967St]

What is his favorite event?

what does he think of his fans?

Has he ever timed his solves using a different method? (Like Roux, Petrus, etc.)

What's up with the beard and mustache ?

Has he changed his approach to solving at all since taking a break? And what are his thoughts on multi-slotting?

Do you like the US Nationals so far?
What inspired you to start cubing?

How is the US compared to Japan?

what are your other hobbies?

How many girlfriends has he had?

He knows my story?

All of these were answered, or at least partially answered. The whole interview was about an hour. It's on video with excellent audio quality. It was really neat to hear it, some of the answers were lolzy. It may not be up for a while since it's a big file, but it's something to look forward to.

Tristan Wright recorded the interview. He'll put it probably on YouTube when I've provided more complete translations for some of the later questions we rushed through.

 

[ChrisBird]

It was a pleasure to be one of the few in attendance of this monumental interview ^_^

 

[JonnyWhoopes]

Are there any updates to be given? Not impatient, simply curious on status.

 

[macky]

Waiting for Tristan to make the video available privately. Nakajima has requests for minor cuts. Then I'll supply fuller translations for the end. Finally up.

Could be a while depending on how much time we all have.

[edit]
Those who were there (and should be only those!) will find out which parts were cut!

It was amazing being in the audience as the interview took place. The video/audio set up wasn't bad either, much better than just a webcam or something!

What minor cuts did Nakajima want? I thought the entire interview was awesome...

 

[JTW2007]

I thought the entire interview was awesome...

Likewise. I'm glad I got to see the whole thing, especially now that there's discussion about cutting it.

His interview is definitely worth waiting ...
Is the video in english ?

Macky asked the questions in English for everyone to hear, then he repeated them in Japanese for Nakaji. After Nakaji answers, Macky repeated the answers in English.
The Japanese parts will have English subtitles.

He knows my story?

Spoiler

[spoiler mine]

No, he didn't, but now he's intrigued.
