Hey guys, I'm not exactly new, but I'm returning after a very long hiatus of cubing. I've been dabbling here and there, picking up my cube and doing some PLLs every now and then, but nothing major. However, with the new year, I've decided to resume cubing. Why did I stop? I dunno. anyway, it...
I've recently started filming now that I've got a relatively good camera (iPod Touch 4g :p) to shoot videos. Here's my latest video...
I use Sony Vegas Pro 10 to edit, but I'm only a novice of course. :/
Any advice/tips for angle, stuff I can do on Sony Vegas, or the actual cubing?
A bit of Background:I've been cubing for roughly a year, but with school I "paused" my cubing (aside from cube meets and Austin Fall) and so I've been cubing "regularly" (as in quite a bit of solving every day) for 4-5 months. I'm about sub-30 with 12 PLLs and 2-Look OLL.
ReasonI'm looking to...
My dad was in China recently and bought me a Dayan GuHong, Maru Lubricant, and a LL Super Floppy cube and sent it since he won't be back for a while. It's supposed to come in this week, and I was wondering about two things.
1. What cubes respond well to Maru Lubricant? (2x2s, 3x3's, and...
I wasn't exactly sure what to call this, so the name seems a bit odd.
Anyway, time for a small anecdote to explain what I made..
I like using a stackmat timer because of the hand pads which has alot of advantages such as being easier to hit than a spacebar (depending on the size of your...
I got my MF8 Square-1 about 2 weeks ago and I've been messing around with it here and there, and I used Jig-A-Loo, but I haven't noticed any difference (turning-wise) and the top and bottom layers are very rough and slow.
Is there any way I can fix this? Thanks.

So I already read the thread similar to this, about some guy who wanted to change to Japanese Color Scheme but I've got some other stuff.
So, I guess I was being really stupid (as always) and accidentally got stabbed by my utility knife in my left index finger and then I tried using my...
This is a place to post any interesting logic puzzles, brainteasers, mysteries, or any good puzzles you may have picked up, and share them. It might be useful to list its difficulty.
THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE TWISTING PUZZLES, SUDOKU (or its relatives), CROSSWORDS, OR WORD SEARCHES.

Whenever I start timing (keyboard OR stackmat) it keeps going into full screen mode, and I already tried looking under the settings of keyboard timer and turning off "fullscreen while timing" and I reset all the settings as well. Even if I switch from Minimalist to Shelley (very nice set-up...
I've recently had an interest in puzzle building after I learned that dremels are very inexpensive and the other tools needed. The only thing I don't have steadily available are stickers but I'll probably buy a set of standard sheets and a few extra colors, but anyway..
I've seen a TON of...
I decided it would be useful if someone made a whole list of all the name-brand puzzles on popbuying, since it seems to have the best selection, and mysterious puzzles that don't seem too bad. I might also look at dealextreme, but not until after finishing popbuying.. If you have any links that...
I wanted to get a lead on this, and I had something that didn't really fit in the "goals" thread.
New Year's Resolution: Expand my puzzle collection extensively, keep a decent supply of stickers, and save up money.
In the near future (once I've raised some money, didn't get any from Christmas) I'm gonna be ordering form popbuying and cubesmith, so I was just wondering about these....
Do any of you think there's anything else I should add?
If any of the popbuying products are knock-offs, please share...
I was just curious if the majority of the, umm, population shall we say, gets their stickers from Cubesmith, or if people buy vinyl sheets and hand-cut the, or if you make your own.
Does anybody know what brand the square-1 on popbuying is? I've been looking for a decent square-1, and this one didn't look too bad. I heard James on C4Y has been running late on orders and rarely has anything I need in stock so I probably won't order from Cube4You for a while.
Square-1...
I'm sure everybody has something they want, whether it be a 32GB iPhone or money to donate to a food bank or charity of some sort, so let's commence the wish lists! Whether you get what you want, or not, don't feel afraid to post it!
NOTE: The majority of my items are things that I kinda want...

The old thread seemed rather odd, and the title seemed rather odd so I made a new thread... I've been working hard on a new version, but I haven't quite finished...
This thread will cover mostly 3x3, but expect to see some 2x2, Pyraminx...
My sister seems to be really REALLY mad most of the time that I can spend all this money on speedsolving, and here's some quotes.
"Why the **** do you spend all this money?"
"You should only need one cube, and if you were smart, you would get the best one possible and not have 3."
"If I...
I was wondering, I THINK my sister ordered me an EastSheen 2x2, or at least I told her to for my birthday, she told me she was gonna get me one.. How long did it take for yours to arrive? I live in the Dallas, Texas area if that helps any..
Well, I wanted personal responses so I decided to open up a thread.. Do Old Type A I cubes tend to lock up for you? I've had mine about 3 weeks, and used it maybe about 1 1/2 weeks.. It's still kinda rough and I've lubed it, and it's at an amazing tension. I'm thinking it's just that my hands...
