Did you know...
- This year 38% of our viewers are female? That's a decrease of 6% compared to previous years. On our lifetime roughly 33% of our viewers are female.
- The next Single-Part-Video has been hinted in our Channel Intro and on my blog?
- Because Luxatus Patella has been studying abroad, the amount of videos we delivered this year has dramatically decreased? In the most ideal situation, we upload a new Walkthrough part once a week. Previous year, we uploaded a total of 88 videos.
- About half of our current total views and two-third of our subscribers has been gained this year?
- Despite we are Dutch, The Netherlands is just the 13th most viewed country for this year? Last year, this country was on the 10th spot on the rankings.

Did you know...
- My character (Rayque) only has 33%-STR? This has been for several years now, but keep in mind there has actually been some movement in Cubing - I don't have the exact same 33% divided through my equips as I used to. There's a high chance it'll increase soon - consider I've been busy with creating cubes with a few friends!
- I've been working on Legendary Ability the past few weeks, now that the You & I update has arrived. Despite I've been shuffling my Ability more than 1476 times by now, I won't give up that easily!
- I'm always quite looking forward to any Hero revamp! Every change is with good reason. I'm highly anxious to see what 5th Job will deliver - I'm happy that Nexon takes their time with releasing it!
