    Using Your Brain While Cubing (It Works)

    Hey Everyone, This is a video I uploaded, and I wanted your opinion on it. Do you agree? Disagree? Why or why not? Should be be expected to figure stuff out on their own, or should they be spoon-fed everything? Is using your brain while cubing really necessary? Note: I am not saying...

    [Video] Cube Reviews: Your Thoughts?

    Hey Everyone, I'm trying to get a good formula down for making review videos, but I don't think I've got it yet. In each video what I talk about is the size compared to other cubes, mechanism, lock ups, corner cutting, smoothness, if you can adjust it, if lube helps or not, where you can buy it...
