Quiting cubing - any other great hobbies you guys have?

[blah]

Seemed like a pretty safe bet statistically speaking.

I would actually say the language used is pretty damn American: pissed raged smacked stomped?

Thanks for the answers.

Cubing is an excellent way to relax when going through a shitty time at work like I am now. When you are then solving your newly bought V-cube 6 and it decides to explode, this can really make you rage.

Luckily I found the piece yesterday, and I managed to rebuild the 6. The 7 also managed to survive my rage - very sturdy cube that is, I must say . It's alive and kicking after I rebuilt that one too.

I'll get on with cubing. What a luck I don't have to resort to pen spinning. That is clearly no hobby I'd ever be interested in. :rolleyes:

In the time between the rage and waiting for the courage to go and find the tiny piece I lost (and luckily found), I found a great new activity (and surprise surprise, it's cubing related): solving a 20x20x20 cube on the computer.

anyway... does anyone know where to buy spare 6 and 7 pieces in case it would ever happen again without the luck of finding the piece the next day?

I quit Jamlegend when they started to charge to play

Same here, that's the saddest move they ever made really. Any decent game developer would make an underpowered but still free to play version and a full but paid version, in my opinion.

I can tell by your original post.

Good thing you had already "literally looked everywhere"

I'M GONNA TELL EVERYONE I'M QUITTING CUBING AND THEN GO CUBE SOME MOAR

I smell a troll in here, congratulations on being the first troll I've ever seen on this forum.

I can tell by your original post.

I was pissed at that moment for reasons already mentioned.

Good thing you had already "literally looked everywhere"

I thought I literally looked everywhere, but obviously missed a certain spot. Also worth mentioning: it was 12 AM my time and, in my country at least, it's dark at that time. It was already day when I found the piece back.

The main reason of this thread was not to tell everyone i'm quitting (why would I? I'm just an everyday regular cuber) but to gather ideas for a next hobby.

Hope that made things clear.

I hate when that happens. One of my dayan/mf8 4x4 edges was missing for days. Thing had an epic explosion...
Glad you were able to find the piece and you decided not to quit.

Looks like the Wikipedia people didn't like that edit. Maybe it should be "Yahweh".

Yes, none of those words are part of British English.

I could tell by the fact that the title of the thread says "quiting cubing", and this part of your original post:

The end to my hobby has come.

Now that I quit, I'll have a lot of time I'd otherwise spend cubing, which I have nothing to spend on now. I need another hobby.
