I'm Anthony. If you're reading this, thanks! I like to be good at everything I do. And cubing is something that I want to be really good at. Ive been cubing for about a week now.
I use a standard Rubik's version 2.0, and I dont know what brand 2x2 I have because it was given to me by a friend, which is what got me into cubing. I had seen my friend with his 2x2 and 3x3 for a couple days, and the fact that he could solve them and I couldnt really bugged me. So one day, I decided I was gonna try the 2x2. I failed. Miserably, I might add. But I was determined. So when i went home, I looked up videos of people solving 2x2s, and took mental notes. The next day, I went and found him, and asked him to let me try again. He laughed and tossed me the cube. I fiddled with it, and somehow I was just able to recall the algorithms I saw the day before. I dont know how, but I had remembered all the moves, just in a slower form. I was able to solve the 2x2 in about 4 minutes, and tossed it back to him, and at the same time mocked his laugh because, to be honest, I felt like hot ******* for solving a 2x2. XD.
A few days later, my friend said he was so tired of his little 2x2 because it would CONSTANTLY pop on him. And when I say constantly, I mean it would pop about 6 times in the one class that i have with him, and a piece would launch across the class at least once a day. So he then asks me if I'd like to have it. Of course I think hes joking, so I say, "yea, sure. lol" next thing I know, the cube is landing on my desk and shatters. great. so the cube that was just given to me is already in pieces and I have no idea how to put it together. I take the rest of the class messing with the pieces and finally figure out how they fit together, and fix it. I then started practicing right away, and havent stopped. That is, until my dad comes home with a standard 3x3 after i told him about the 2x2. I had been wanting a 3x3 ever since I solved the 2x2, and my dad is one that is ok with spending money on a hobby for me, since all i do is sit in my room. I was so happy about getting it that I didnt even care that it could barely turn and got stuck on every corner(I grabbed silicone spray about an hour later and lubed it, as well as loosened the screws). Thats how I started. Its been a week and I've improved marvellously, and I still am.
My averages and bests:
2x2: avg-31sec. best-14.2sec
3x3: avg-1min46sec. best-1min20sec.
I also like playing Steam games. I have a lot, so im not gonna list all of them. But my favorites are Borderlands 2, Blockstorm, and Robocraft, but I'm always up for something new.
Umm..Not much else i guess.
Thanks guys
