"So eventually, there could be a yo-yo game that you play by yo-yoing?" "Yeah."

Doc Pop is a fine gentleman. His yo-yo abilities are top shelf. I enjoy also his music and his comics.

I did find the actual yo-yo tricks more pleasing than the maker-dorkery with the wiimote.

Not a snark. Nor am I snarkist, though.

Interesting, but needs more cello.

Yaaay, I made mefi again! :D

Yeah, project is still super-alpha, and I need to learn how to actually make listenable stuff with it, but it's been fun nonetheless. And Doc was a huge help, especially since my yoyo skills have atrophied greatly the past few years.

soundofsuburbia: See other posts about my work for an answer to your question. :D

adamrice: Yo-Yo Ma!

Nice post; I'd like to see a yo-yo cellist game, I'd play it.
