Did you learn to cube from Dan Brown(pogobat)?

[PatrickJameson]

Just wondering.

Edit: Um, also, lets try not to go either way on the topic of if he is good or if he is bad. I really just want some statistics.

 

[Edward]

Yes, yes I did.

 

[wrbcube4]

I got the general idea from him but I learned from poisonstinger.

 

[Edmund]

Nope.

and I like JTW2007 and am proud of it.

 

[JTW2007]

No, and I'm proud of it.

 

[Ethan]

I sure did (which I'm not proud of)
after 1 week of DB I immediately switched to Fridrich and learned 4LLL in a few days, now I'm close to 2LLL

 

[Faz]

yep

 

[waffle=ijm]

no and I hope he dies in an ironic cubing accident. like slipping on vaseline and hits his head against his cube...then explodes.

 

[AndyRoo789]

Yea.

 

[Forte]

Yes.

However, before this, I learned from Nerd Paradise. I forgot it though

 

[Ethan]

no and I hope he dies in an ironic cubing accident. like slipping on vaseline and hits his head against his cube...the explodes.

i'm gonna come out on a limb and say he doesn't give two sh**s about his times...
I would just be happy for the 10 million views, just for a beginner method.
lmfao

jk, dan brown sucks premature baby buttholio

K, there is no need to hate on him like this. He did a good job for teaching people how to solve in about 55 seconds and brought a lot of members to the community. It's not like anyone forced you to learn from him. So just chill about it. I have told people about it and they find it easy. I didn't use it and am glad I used the book but he still made a good tut.

true, I wouldn't be here if not for Dan Brown.

I learned it from the booklet that came with the cube.

Sure he thought millions of people who to cube, but a majority comes to realize they're slow and ask so many times "WTF do I get faster?!?!?" here on this forum and several places.

I for one am glad that I didn't learn from pogobat and pretty damn proud of it.

Indeed. His cubing status may be slow (42 seconds for a PB), his uncaring about seriously cubing shouldn't get us in a tizzy.
His beginner's method sparked the speedsolver in many of us today, and even so, his videos still are great to this day.
Sure, it'd be better if, for the sake of the Speedsolving community, he actually needs to learn some faster stoofs if he really wants the cubing community and his "tribe", as he calls it, to grow larger. This way, the 120,000+ people subbed to him can cube, too.
How's that for publicity?

A lot of beginners are going to ask that question regardless from who or where they learned it from.

Gosh, some people act like he's the cause of aids or something.
And, yes I did learn from him.

I would really appreciate cubing to be less popular. Thanks.

 

[TioMario]

Let's just say I solved my first cube thanks to his video.

 

[Gurplex2]

i learned from Ryan Heise's, hi-games site. theres a really good walkthrough there, with minimal text and no videos. its all java applets, which are nice.
