Respect Authority

Hey look, another way to get frustrated for no reason! It’s called the Rubik’s Mirror Blocks Puzzle, aka Hidetoshi Takeji’s Bump Cube, which, particularly considering the mirror finish, seems to indicate that in order to solve one of these you must be coked out of your mind. Plus, if you weren’t when you started, you thankfully have a mirror right in front of you to take care of that! Everyone wins… especially your drug dealer!

The thing is, for as scary as coked out people can sometimes be… Rubik’s Cube masters are way scarier.

Above is a video review of the Rubik’s Mirror Blocks Puzzle. Here’s the thing… Rubik’s Cubes, no matter what form they come in, are for losers. The better you get at it, the more you look like a fucking freak of nature while you’re solving it.

These types of people are never normal — look at how much trouble he has opening a fucking plastic box! Sure, you can solve a Rubik’s cube with one hand in the dark in under 30 seconds, but when presented with an ordinary box you suddenly turn into one of the monkeys from 2001.

In all honesty, I have no fucking idea what’s going on in the video. I don’t understand if he solves the puzzle… I’m not sure if I even understand how to solve it. Is the point of the game is to decube the cube? Or is he only playing around with the cube just for the sake of showing it to people? And what’s with the random Rubik’s Cube tomfoolery where he absolutely looks like a pair of robot hands working on some kind of Rubik’s Cube conveyor belt? And who’s his favorite rapper, I wonder, Ice Cube?

Apparently the goal actually is to arrange 27 blocks of nine different sizes into a cube. Why anyone would really want to do this, I don’t know. It’ll be coming out in Japan in the next few weeks for about $20 — so far there’s no word of a US release, and that’s probably because we’re not a country of nerds.
