Hi guys, I just wanted to tell you that a couple months ago I decided to start my own YouTube channel devoted to cubing. I upload tutorials, unboxings, reviews and I would like if you can visit and share your comments, suggestions for improvements, etc. My last video is Part 1 of an Ortega...

Hi guys! Has it been a long time since I last visited? Or have you all just been very productive lately? Because I had a heck of a lot of unread pages in the thread. Welcome to the new guys. This thread is, as you said, a good or bad influence, it all depends :D I keep devoting more time lately...

Well... I have a problem now in deciding about my 4x4 main cube. After doing over 100 solves with the Aosu GTS M I'm really liking it a lot, even though getting used to the hard magnets in the middle slices is taking some time. I finished a comparison video against my current main, the WuQue...

Hi guys! First of all, impressive progress by @Selkie, finally achieven that long-term goal of sub-15 at 3x3. If I had just improved a bit myself but I'm still stuck at 18.xx average. But, in my opinion, you could get half a second faster just by learning 2-sided PLL recognition. Regarding next...

I was planning on buying a Yuexiao Pro M to compare with the GTS2M and, as I have said a couple times here, one of my main issues with most modern cubes is the pointy corners causing catches, so a top notch cube with light magnets and rounded corners could be main material for me. If you happen...

Hi guys!!! Lot's of stuff since I last checked in here! Congrats to @mark49152 for that great 16/17 MBLD PB and everyone also on their own comp PBs. Sorry to hear that @Selkie was not lucky in 3x3 but you got plenty other comp PBs to compensate. Impressive 6x6 PB by @One Wheel !! You beat my...

@mark49152 yes, I care to watch 5BLD videos, all the more so if they come from you, or any of the other guys from our little family here! @Jason Green, I'm happy to see you around here. I haven't met you in real life but I feel like I know you and, since the first time they showed up in one of...

I came here to say hello, as I usually do from time to time, because I don't want to lose contact with you guys as I also feel you are like family to me and then I read about your terrible news, @Jason Green and, all of a sudden, tears came to my eyes. I can't even imagine how you must feel...

Wow! A lot of news since I last visited :) That streak of Sub-19 3BLD singles ending in that incredible 17.xx must have been something to behold, really. I'm envious once again. Got a new video for you guys! This time it's an unboxing of some of my latest acquisitons. To be honest, I think I'm...

Hi again guys. Not much time to practise lately because... I'm spending my spare time on recording cubing videos :) Here you have my second installment since I created my QBAndo channel. I uploaded it some days ago but it was not until today that I found time to subtitle it in English for you to...

Today I had some spare hours, as I was home alone with my kid and decided to start recording videos for my YouTube channel more frequently. I have decided to do then in Spanish, but I'm including English subtitles as well. The change from English to Spanish is because I think it will be easier...

Hi guys! I did an experiment today. I was thinking about how much newer cubes are really helping my times and what part of the very slight improvement over the past couple of years was me and what part was the cube. I also have said here that in new cubes, squared off corners increase catching...

I received this week two of my latest acquisitions. Lanlan Face-Turning Octahedron and Calvin / TomZ Constrained Cube Ultimate. Both nice solves but easier than I thought. Have you guys heard anything about the new Aosu GTS M 4x4 by Moyu? Not that I'm thinking on buying it but, just out of...

Got 11.15 (almost PB) at first try. Very nice indeed. Good luck to all of you participating in UKC or any other comp. This week I solved my new mf8 dodecahedrons (Bauhinia and Curvy Starminx) once each of them and it was tiring but a lot of fun. The Bauhinia is the most complicated not only...

We know you can do it, Mark @mark49152. Don't let a bad day knock you down. By the way, solved my new toy a couple of times and I have to say I love the puzzle. In fact I think I'm buying more cuboids. Mass produced ones, whenever I can, of course but maybe I'll get some hand modded ones as...

Sorry for the bad quality of the video but I just recorded the unboxing in a hurry and it's in Spanish, bad lighting, etc. but I just wanted to share my 1st impressions on my new hand-modded 5x5x3 from a very talented Spanish modder, GadiRubik. I will try to record a better video showing it...

A couple sub-1min 4x4 solves this week. Very close to Ao5 and Ao12 PB and improvement of around 1 sec on Ao50 and Ao100 (PB Ao50 now 1:11.06). Also slight 5x5 improvement with new PB Ao5 (2:24.xx) and Ao12, finally below 2:30 (2:29.49). So, even though I don't practise I seem to be improving...

Exactly. Many of those cubes that TheCubicle sells and are infringing Rubik's patents (according to them) are GANS puzzles, so they are also indirectly suing their new partner for patent infringment. That's not nice of you, Rubik's!

This is a very hypocritical stance from Rubik's now that they have come to an agreement with one of those "bad Chinese manufacturers that copied Rubik's great toy design" in order to just have a decent speedcube in the market by completely letting the cube mechanism design to the Chinese brand...

@Shaky Hands I tried your scramble but I screwed up trying to overthink the (double?) x-cross so I got something like a 17.xx. Very nice scramble anyway. As today is bank holiday in Spain I decided to pass by and say hello. I have solved today my recently purchased Calvin's Hexaminx and it's a...
