yo gurg heres some other british comedy that im like 110% certain you havent seen before. its a pretty old one now and i never saw series 2+3 but the first season has got some cracking episodes in it.

and this one is for people who like their comedy a bit darker and a lot more fucked up. surrealist comedy at its finest i reckon. the doctor sketches are some of my faves. same people who made the brass eye series if any of you have seen those before.

killer instinct’s pretty cool

why did Mike C get banned?

a nerd post for Mike M (and maybe Dug?), everyone else can safely skip

Here’s the current 3x3 world record:

And here’s a totally 100% foolproof beginner’s tutorial where you basically don’t have to learn anything complicated. You learn one move (R U R’ U’) and repeat it in various positions and the cube is solved. The vids are a bit long but large chunks of them are him repeating himself to make sure people don’t get lost, so you’re likely to skip around a bit. You can probably solve the cube in 4ish minutes using this method and a bit of practice. Even without any crazy new techniques, there are a lot of small optimizations you can do within his method but he doesn’t touch on them so nobody gets scared and runs away.

Upgrading from this method to the “slightly harder but still beginner’s method” is really easy (ie, you don’t have to unlearn everything, you just add a bit of extra knowledge on top), and will probably get you down around 2 minutes solve time if you care to learn it later. That’s the nice thing about cube solving, it’s all additive… you start with the beginner’s method like everyone does, then you add more and more knowledge to it until you get bored or happy with your time. For some people they’re not happy until they’re under 10 seconds, for others they’re happy if they’re around 5 minutes.

Anyway I’ve watched basically all the Rubik’s cube tutorials on Youtube, if you want a good “next step” vid after this just ask me and I’ll give you the ones I think helped me the most.
