Hi, my name is Koldo from Navarre Spain, and i'm 33 years old.
I'm a game lover from years ago. I'm interested in games in many way's, as fun, as part of the proces of growth an personal development, as a challenge, as study subject or like a cultural element of inmense value and with power to meet people.
I like all games in general as phenomenon, and the act of play, but obviusly i have my personal prefferences on witch games like's me and witch not (but these don't mean that i think that are bad games, maybe are games for other kind of person). I love the mind challenges, and games that develop a deep community arround it, that study the game and develop it and it's thecniques. I love abstract strategy games games like Go or Chess, and puzzels offers me a realy pleasure challenge to inmerse in. Other thing that i love in game is its replayability, and i love the inmortal games that you can play one time and another without agote it, more than games that his major interes is that you "don't know" something and the fun is on dicover, or his concret theme finaly is borring if you play many times because it can't surprise you (the human factor on challenges give the game an important replayabiliti to any game).
The Rubik's cube family combine some of these features that i love it on games, and have all things for get me in love. I'm not interestet in all of cube types as many as others, obviusly, but all seams to me a prety challenge.
More focused on my cube preferences and why, i have a clare predilection for the NxN based puzzel's and the megaminx. NxN is the base of all cubes, and combines perfectly agility and complexity in a realy elegant form, but to say the true, i have predilection for big cubes like 4x4 and 5x5, but bigger than that lost interes for me, because only adds dificulty by repetition of steps allredy presents on 4x4 or 5x5. From Megaminx i love the flexibility to be creative in serch of eficiency, maybe a bit repetitive in proces with F2L pairs. The other type of cube are interesting and i have curiosity for some of them, but the most imteresant modifications for me are Mirror and Ghost, that aport the cube deformation with diferent pieces, or gaps. But in soul, all of these are 3x3 or NxN based.
In my opinion the cube called "Rubik's Revenge", the 4x4 is the suprem cube for me (as i said before, these don't mean that i think that 4x4 is better than other cubes, is only that combines diferent features that i love it, but for other person the reasons that for me makes 4x4 perfect are inconvenients for him/her). 4x4 present the perfect balance between the most possible complexity in proces and methods, with the minimun simplicity, avoiding being repetitive. It has a reduction method (center construction and edge pairing) and 3x3 part, and special features of pair big cubes like intercambiable centers and parity that ads more challenge/fun, or the possibility to reduce to 2x2. For all of these reason these is my favorite cube and the most that i practice, my main category, and i'm using Yau method. I also practice 3x3, because is the soul of all of cubes, and the basics of thes cube are aplied to all of them, amd to be better on 4x4 i have to perform my 3x3 for the end of reduction, and i'm studing the full method but now i'm using CFOP reduit. 5x5 also seams to me a funny and interesting puzzel, and has some interesting particularities, but is a bit repetitive, and for these reason i prefer 4x4 (and de changeable centers is the other reason that makes my predilection to pair cubes), but a think that likes me of 5x5 is a interesting chance os use Hoya method, that likes me a lot, but in 4x4 i'm more eficient with Yau.
I don't want to extend much more, because i can expand and expand limitless, so i close these presentation mentioning my main cubes y the principal categories that i practice:
- My main 4x4 is the Moyu Aosu WR M, i realy love these cube, is realy fast and stable, and really smothie. And to bring always in the poket i have a Mofang Jiaoshi MS4, a realy good cube for a short price (is not like Aosu, but is perfect for his function).
- My main 3x3 is the Moyu WeiLong WR M Maglev. These cube is much more that i need. Is a realy beast.
- In megaminx my main is the Gan Megaminx. Is fantastic, a really nice cube, with a lot of personalizable options. His defect is the price, much higer than other realy good options.
- Finaly, my main 5x5 is the YJ MGC. I don't train a lot these cube, and i'm not as exigent as the others. But in my opinion these cube is perfect and offers me an excelent option for what i need from these cube.
Thanks for reading and we met here in discusions.
Bye!
