Failed last 3 cubes. :fp
 
So like, 12/13 multi, 1:00:42[33:47], off by 2 flipped edges.

So like, the most I had ever tried before this was probably 6 cubes. Also, I didn't have a good memo method prepared for corners
([11:15] <+Spef> now to decide how to memo corners O_O
[11:17] <+Spef> err
[11:17] <+Spef> this is hard
[11:17] <+Spef> idk wut to do
[11:17] <+aronpm> letters
[11:17] <+j`ey> lol
[11:17] <+aronpm> gogo
[11:17] <+Spef> cant
[11:17] <+aronpm> yes you can
[11:20] <+Spef> visual ftw
[11:20] <+aronpm> lol gl)

So I went with visual, and somehow it worked. I used a keychain 3x3x3, four 4x4x4s, a 5x5x5 and a 7x7x7 in this attempt :P I think I'll learn some better system for corners and go for more.
 
First 5bld attempt in almost a week: DNF 10:39.92, 5:01 memo

3 corners that I forgot about, and 3 + centers I didn't memorize.
 
First 5BLD attempt since Australian Nationals. Anyway, I had executed the centers and wings and was nearly finished with the edges. Then I realised I memorised my edge targets from my normal BLD position UF, where it should've been DF for M2. I wasn't too fussed as it was fun seeing as its been a while. Time was 29:xx and all the centers and wings were solved, as well as all the corners remaining in their memorised positions.

[23:26] <aronpm> should have undone and then just used UF buffer +comms
[23:26] <aronpm> :p
[23:26] <aronpm> k bbs
[23:26] <Zane> hmm, probs should of done that, all well
[23:27] <Zane> i feel so stupid lol

I did just that afterwards and it was solved.
 
Just tried 3x3 Multi (2 cubes) on film.
Finished memo at 3 minutes and felt pretty good. Rushed a little.
Ended at a major DNF. I didn't know what happened until I saw the footage.
I had memo'd and had picked up the wrong cube first. :fp

Spef told me to do 4bld with 1-pass memo, so...

DNF 3:57.xx, 51 second memo. Off by 2 twisted corners (I twisted in the wrong direction), 4 wings, and 2+3+2 cycles of centers.

I recalled corners correctly, but I twisted the wrong piece (buffer clockwise instead of twisted corner clockwise). Centers I might have forgotten a few letters, and I had a hard time remembering when to change buffers. Wings I remembered it all perfectly except the order of the last few letters.
 
sleep delayed BLD 6:12:06.67 DNF. D:

I had to flip UB and UF... I decided to make it a bit more complicated and flipped RB and UF. D:

Wat.

My failure: 5x5 BLD DNF 13:03ish
 
3BLD DNF in 7:23 (4:0x memo); off by an F perm. Felt much more secure than other solves have and went a lot faster; just have to avoid mismemorizing? It's 3 minutes off my PB anyway :D
