Today(yesterday), I was solving my first megaminx, but it was virtual. I was using no algs and had found a way to orient the edges. I was 1 turn away from permuting them when my cmputer crashed for no reason. FMCL.
 
Today, I was going to go to a cube demonstration, and an awesome cuber who I really like was supposed to come too. I was looking foreward to this for a while, and we were planning to do team BLD and have fun racing each other. He didn't come. FML.

who was this awsome cuber?

I could tell you, but then Eric Limeback would feel bad about himself.

4x4
adges and centers done at 40 sec, couldve been sub 1
I pisplaced the centers
and messed up my F2L
and had double parity
FML
 
Doing a U-perm (CCW) instead of a CW U-perm when you finished F2L in 12 seconds (I average 17 second F2Ls) with an Anti-Sune OLL, only to realize that you did the wrong permutation AFTER you stopped the timer at 17.43 seconds. FML... would have been the first sub-20 I ever had. Now I'm stuck with a crappy 20.49 because of a scramble that had a 4 move x-cross with the easiest OLL but the hardest PLL (G-perm, Anti-sune...)
...
It took you 5 seconds to do an antisune and U perm? O_o

yeah, sad isn't it?? I sub-1 anti-sune usually and sub-2 U-perm... I'm just that bad!!! :P

Also, FML again, I had an 11 second F2L, but my cube popped on the OLL... after I fixed it and did the G-perm for the PLL it was a 20.21...

easily woulda been sub-20... AGAIN... ><

How do you sub-1 an algorithm with 8 turns?

8 turns per second

More like >8 tps.

I'm capable of dividing 8 by 1, thank you very much. What I mean is, that doesn't seem possible. On Yu Nakajima's videos, he seems to be turning his cube at a somewhat slower rate.
 
I was speedsolving at school, it popped he right moment that a student accidently hit me in the back and ive sent the cube at 2 meters high flying and it falled and broke its core at 2 and its corner piece at 3. The other pieces went flying all over the class. FML

(Thankfully ive found them all and i will superglue them soon.)

did you know some people can sub 1 t perm consistently (>14tps)?

Who can?

You can't? Wow, you must be one of the slowest T-permers I know of.

I take that back. I just watched Rowe's T perm video again and realised that he was successful on getting sub-1 on most of his attempts :)

And yes, I'm not particularly fast at PLL nor any other step. I'm just good overall :)
 
Today, I realized that I can't sub-1 a single perm. FML

You guys are all crazy. I can't sub-1 anything. T, A, U, J, H, nothing. I think the longest alg I can sub-1 is a double anti-sune (11 moves?), but still no where close on any of my perms.

I think breandon said he can consistently sub-1 2/3 of his perm algs. geez.

Edit- Yup, he did say that

"All plls are now sub 1.3 (and consistently sub 1.5)

Also, more than half are now sub 1(about 2/3 consistently)"

FFFMMMMLLLLL

I was doing a V6 solve using my computer as a timer (I don't always get sub-10 times so I didn't use a stackmat), it looks like I was going to get a sub-10, maybe even sub-9 and all of a sudden my computer shuts down

I may never know my time
 
Today I was hanging out after school with friends, coincidentally it was raining and my friend asked to borrow my cube. He plays with it for about 15 seconds and about 12 of the pieces pop out, including 3 center caps and some caps on the corners. they fell into the mud and the stickers are peeling off... FML
