V Cube 3(??)/ HB CUBE 3 Review


Finally another review on my blog. Heh heh I guess I haven't done a written review in a while, so here's one. There's a lot of excitement on the V Cubes, especially the V Cube 3x3(if there is such a thing).
So first and foremost I would like to clairfy this. I dubbed this puzzle the V Cube 3 cause at the back of the boxing, it said that this puzzle was made by the same dude who made the V Cubes. I'm not sure if this is true, but I'm certain 95% that this is false. As you can see on the boxing, the name is HB CUBE 3.

It's a pretty cool cube, first off. It's transparent and the inside is modelled after a Ghosthand, so it's basically a Ghosthand with transparent cubies. Heck, you can even see the screws and springs!

So it's cool. I got 2 of this. One yellow and one green. I prefer the green one cause it's my fav colour. It works well even before lubrication, so no complaints there. In fact, I'll say it's good enough to be a speed cube. However, it does lock up a bit here and there. So...I guess it's cause my finger movements aren't in sync.

On the aesthetic side, the stickers aren't bad. They're of a texture that doesn't allow the cube to slip of your fingers during a frantic solve. The orange and red are a bit close tho...so people who are color deficit(like me), bear that in mind if you plan to get this cube.

Any cool features? Yes. Every cubie is hollow and has a cap that can be remove, so if you remove all, you kinda have a hollow cube. It's pretty creative. However the green cube has it's caps popping out so much that I have glued the caps on.
One of these cost me 3 SGD, pretty worth the price.

Currently I don't know where this cube can be purchased. I bought the last 2 off the shelf. Sorry guys.

Holidays!

Well actually the hols for me started a week ago, heh heh. And so far I've been frantically trying to complete assignments -_- School really thinks I'm so free.

And I get that feeling where you have so much work you just don't feel like doing it. So I'm busying myself with games. I wonder if I've told you guys this, but I've gotten Avalon Code and New Mario Bros. for the DS. And most recently, The World Ends With You. All of the listed games are kickbutt awesome.

I went out with my friend yesterday and had a hell of a time laughing and joking while making our selection at a games store. Of course, I was the one paying. It was his last year Christmas and this year's birthday presents I was getting for him. Got him Disgaea DS and Rondo of Swords. Heard they were reasonably good games. And I cashed out 100% of it, $45.

So anyways, I'm relatively busy, with around 22 assignments(and still counting). Darn. And I still have tuition, man the hols are uber messed up. Thanks homework, thanks a lot.

Heh...I guess I'm gonna play Avalon Code and The World Ends With You a lot during the hols tho. Who cares about homework, just get it done, and have it presented well.

On a completely unrelated note, my eldest sis is coming back from Scotland this Wednesday! ^^ She was studying overseas and is coming back for vacation. Yay. And we'll be going to Korea together. Heh.

Petrus!
