    I can not get over how fresh as death that cube is. It being shown the whole video and expecting it being just a showing of 2x2 cubes existing, then it being revealed to be an amazing puzzle to both solve and look at was astounding.

      Xythulhu saw one of these on youtube about 7 or 8 years back. Used to be really obsessed with them, know them as yoshimoto cubes, but could never get hold of one, being just a kid at the time. Seems a whole lot less spectacular to me now Aha.

    I am sitting here, sick as a dog at the moment waiting to feel better, and watching Tim just eases the mind and sounds soothing when he speaks and takes your mind off of being sick and nauseated. I forget all about it and feel better just by marathoning these videos. They're a Godsend. Thanks, Tim and Cool-Camera-Guy.

      That One Gaming Channel My guess is that they where flailing the camera about trying to catch the effect but weren't able to and they had to cut it not to have a long boring anticlimax. Or, Tim trailed of trying to justify the lame toy.

    • @SpaceNipples420

      I'm surprised there's not more cuts. 99% of the time, Tim can do it all in one take. Once you get so far into a recording, they have to decide whether to rerecord or cut out a bit.

    That sound that Tim identified as the sound of a timer is actually the sound of the capacitors inside of a strobe charging after a flash.

    • @ch0rd2
      @ch0rd2 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yes, but the whine did give some indication of the delay between flashes, high pitch, ready to fire again. Perhaps that's what he meant.

    • @salvatoreshiggerino6810
      @salvatoreshiggerino6810 8 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I don't think it's the capacitors that make the sound. My guess would be that it comes from magnetostriction in the core of the transformer that supplies high voltage electricity to the capacitors.

    • @bostonrailfan2427

    • @ayebraine
      @ayebraine 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@bostonrailfan2427 It's a compact strobe recharging after a flash. If you trigger a flash, it then whines audibly (some louder, some very softly, at the edge of hearing) until it's charged to full strobe power again. You can discharge it while it whines, but it'll be dimmer and not the right exposure.

    Tim. I love how you open our eyes to so many different toys and trinkets etc. but I started to feel like at least 10% of your comments about everything is "nice one". :D I would not dare belittle your excellent collection or your presentation skills. Just saying.
