"There are vipers that will pull you out of cover, poison you with AOE and bind you."
...FUCK
You know what could solve that? A sword.
XCOM 2 is looking fine. Except that camera still looks pretty bad. :/
Haha yeah I just got to that part. Only worries are balancing.
Ha, boy I would have much preferred that as well

Ironically Vinny keeps murdering Kerbals and getting away with it
Shameful. Bowie surely lead a life of various excesses, but I doubt he ever fucked a pig.
So it's more like How To Get Away With Murder.

If anyone could accidentally create a singularity, that transports them to space hell.........it would be Vinny.
Hopefully it'll be the bit in The Martian where Matt Damon tries to get on the ship.
might be the best thing on the site at the mo?

If anybody has not seen that Random PC Game: Omikron that they pushed up to the front page due to Bowie's death, give it a look. One of my favorite Random PC Game videos and a genuinely fascinating game.
for sure
only way to make it better would be to make it more than once a week... crushing wait each time.

So am I crazy for thinking Project Beast typically has maaaaybe 10 minutes of genuinely entertaining footage per episode? Couldn't care less for the building parts and the general cruising along space bits, generally because I just don't have a good frame of reference for that because I don't play Kerbal.

I find it more entertaining than you do, but yeah, I tend to zone out watching it, so it's mostly in the background until i hear someone yell excitedly.
It might depend on the episode, but I know for me the moment they realise the entire mission was a bust in the most recent one was all the better because they spent the better part of an hour getting to that point.

It's an endurance run where it's like 90% of the dungeon crawling and fusion episodes though. 
Which is fine, I like those and like KSP. But yeah. It's alright.

i mean i actively don't know shit about ksp so i'm sure this series will only improve once i start trying to launch rockets into space. still haven't starved yet though so
there was something really hypnotic about those episodes. vinny/jeff had such good banter

Also gave us some pretty hilarious moments.

I'm with you. It's a neat series but I've been skimming through the last couple.
i still haven't watched it.

people were complaining about the people who play KSP discussing the series in detail but I feel like we're the ones enjoying it the most because we understand what's going on/failing.
We understand how terrible a job Vinny is doing at KSP lol.
Still very entertaining (and a bit frustrating) lol.

As someone who has never played KSP I think it's pretty obvious that vinny is terrible at kerbal.

I'd be so fucking happy if we got a Demo Derby every week. It's the best feature since the P4 ER. But it works because of the combination of Jeff, Dan and Drew.

KSP should add in VR support for the Kerbal in-cockpit view. Then, Alex would wear said VR helmet while Vinny tries over and over to get Alex into space.

it definitely helps with the anticipation though. seeing the slow build up of bad decisions coming together to fail impressively.
also despite their complaints that that last ship was "slow," moving in atmosphere at about 300m/s is actually kind of ideal. when they go like 1200m/s and atmosphere burn leaving the atmosphere I'm on the edge of my seat waiting for everything to explode
And don't forget your buddy ghoul

And if all of your knowledge of Kerbal comes from GB like me then there's still a lot of anticipation because I'm basically right there with them in assuming that maybe this rocket will sort of complete it's mission because the logic sounds good to me.

As a non-KSP player, the disparity between my early optimism and the comments was amusingly jarring.
"Oh wow, they made it onto the moon? They've got this in no time."
*reads comments*
"Maybe not."
this makes me miss the snakewomen

Well, I feel like the funny moments (read as: the crew's failures) wouldn't be nearly as funny if they wouldn't show the amount of planning and theorycrafting that led to them. It really is probably my favourite feature on the site right now.
I approve.
XCOM 2 continues to look really good. I am curious to see how big of a focus the story is this time around. There are certainly interesting things they can do with the XCOM being the resistance angle.

So this is how people with bad internet kill time.
Yeah, I've been wondering as well. Being forced into the same story missions on every subsequent playthrough of XCOM1 got old really fast.
