Gonna need to dig around for a spare video cassette so I can try this myself. ---

As with any good yoyo case, make sure your yoyos are allowed to slide around on plastic and metal for protection. I hope this video is a joke because this is stupid. ---

Wow that’s so cool. Neat idea for a DIY case. ---

I know I was thinking the same thing. They should probably consider adding high grit sand paper as a liner to prevent the yo-yo from moving around . ---

Well that was certainly the most… _Unique_ case I’ve seen. I don’t think I’m going to be switching from my zero gravity case anytime soon though. ---

I think it was a spoof of one of those Hack My Life shows I used to watch where the time and effort used to create the hack was sooo not worth it. ---

Some people play their yoyos and don’t care about scuffs. It’s a yoyo called the VHS and it’s made to look like the spools in a VHS. Lighten up. ---

The video is pretty clearly meant as a joke, but the tone isn’t real clear until partway in. I don’t blame Links as I wasn’t sure what I was watching until the guy from FD started gluing random pieces of the casette back into it to hold the yoyo in place… It’s also gigantic, requires taking your yoyo apart (lol), and offers virtually no protection. I think someone else may need to “lighten up”, this idea is asinine even if it does have a certain comic appeal. ---

Looks like there’s only one person here taking this too seriously… Lighten up. ---

The point of this case is that it’s more successful than the Betamax version.
