Project BEAST is very soothing. I've briefly dozed off while watching each of the last two episodes. That's not a knock on it at all.

Space is a tranquil place.


...you know, aside from the fact that it's trying to murder you all the time you're in it.

 

[Dr Duncan Steel]

I wonder what the Game of the Year theme is actually gonna be?

Was hoping for them doing a parody of a Demo Derby Behind the Scenes video but them moving offices might've thrown a wrench at that.

Lately I've been watching GB content exclusively before bed or a nap and I might've Pavlov conditioned myself to get sleepy while watching it. Not sure if that's good or bad yet, but I'm way behind on their videos.

Merry Christmas GB GAF!

I know I'm late, but The idea of any kid admiring Dan Ryckert is terrifying.

Gross, someone learning from Dave Lang

So, I will admit that maybe I was being a bit excessive when I claimed that Vinny's rocket could make it to Duna and back. I built as close a facsimile as I could and I was only capable of a Duna "landing." To be fair, I'm not "great" at the game, and have not managed a successful Duna landing in general. But, that was my first attempt with this rocket, and I just kind of winged it a bit.

Maybe Ike is a more realistic option, I've never tried an Ike landing before, but I assume it has gravity similar to Minimus.

Video of my attempt.

Merry Christmas bombadeers. GB is my favourite online community by far

Anything that suggests Jeff was responsible for that list then needs to be redactalared.

Merry Christmas, Xbox!

Merry Christmas everyone!

 

[funkystudent]

Project BEAST is great.

I wish it more then weekly but I guess you gotta spread the goodness out.


Rip Bill. One small step for kerbal kind. One giant rocket powered leap into the ground.

Christmas is over, it was yesterday.
Get with the times people.

 

[Twin Tails]

Happy new year

I appreciate that you even put those stupid, pointless lights on the fuel tanks.

It's like they wrote this song just for me. Merry Christmas everyone!

Christmas will break your heart
If your world is feeling small
There’s no one on the phone
You feel close enough to call
Christmas will crush your soul
Like that laid back rock 'n' roll
But your body’s getting old
It’s much too tired to be so bold
Christmas can wreck your head
Like some listless awkward sex
So you refuse to leave your bed
Get depressed when no one checks
Christmas will break your heart
Like the armies of the unrelenting dark
Once the peace talks fall apart

Christmas will shove you down
So just lay back in the snow
That quiet wind won't wake
What inside you has grown cold
Christmas will drown your love
Like a storm down from above
On your fading memories of a normal life
Oh while I thought to make you mine
Believing in the line
That your heart would melt with time
And though you’re out with them again
Your thick and fickle friends
They might replace the love that ends

Is Austin going to get Sengoku Basara Sumeragi on the top 10 list?

Or did I need to rally behind Jason for that?

 

[Antiwhippy]

Wait, when did they indicate that they were playing sengoku basara?

 

[Haunted]

Vinny's weird brain shouldn't be shackled by science and expertise. Sure, a few more Kerbals might have survived, but is that really worth it?

BILL DIDN'T HAVE TO DIE

[CoolBatteryCharge]

BILL DIDN'T HAVE TO DIE

Bill's death was like Bill's love: Hard and fast.

 

[Tubobutts]

BILL DIDN'T HAVE TO DIE

Bill was the first Kerbal on the moon and has a site named after him. What if when he went back to Kerbin and it turned out he was a racist? Instead of being mired in controversy he died doing what he loved, going way too fast for no reason and will now live forever.

 

[Teddified]

lol I fucked up. I didn't realize my Dad actually wanted the Pepsi Perfect when we talked about it a few months ago.

 

[Salty Catfish]

Merry Christmas, duders. As you celebrate, though, remember to take a moment to think of Bill's poor family. Because of one man who shall not be named here, this time for celebration is instead a time of mourning. #justiceforbill

 

[ThreePiMatt]

I thought I had the right number of lights. The thing I know I was missing was something that was sticking off the crew capsule. On one side he has the electricity generator, on the other side there's some weird flat thing sticking out. I couldn't tell what that was.

 

[Antiwhippy]

BTW, be sure to get Austin Walker's favourite lesbian schoolgirls simulator, black closet, on the steam sale.

The quick look is pretty great.

 

[Data West]

I just like to assume someone's been playing it in secret. It's so good.






I need to play SOMA.

 

[Lunar FC]

Goddamn the last 30 minutes of that Kerbal ep was fucking fantastic.

Merry Christmas guys!

 

[Megasoum]

I'm stuck in a shitty Christmas family party and now my aunt just brought out her bingo karaoke game and FML. Please kill me.


PS: I'm hiding in the bathroom right now.

If it was a real lesbian schoolgirl simulator you would be able to view and create erotic art and fan fiction. Can you view and create erotic art and fan fiction?

That sucks man. I had to endure some dumb shit at my family's Xmas party last weekend, but at least the game I set up for everyone was a hit.

T-minus two hours until the food comes out.

My immediate family (parents, sister) gave up on being around extended family during the holidays years ago, it was one of the best decisions we have ever made.

Hey man, there's nothing stopping you. Probably.

 

[Tubobutts]

Hey man, there's nothing stopping you. Probably.

If it's not officially supported and in the game then how dare you call it a simulator.

Edit: I see now that I forgot to include the world simulator

 

[justjim89]

Played MGSV for the first time in months. That game plays great.

But fuck that game and all it stands for.

Spoiler

The Fox engine is incredible, though. If only Konami was still a video game company.

 

[Megasoum]

Man... I envy you. I love my immediate family and I'm always happy to see them but the extended? Ugh... Once a year is already too much.

 

[Antiwhippy]

So yakuza gaf, am I good to play Y5 without jumping onto the other 4 games first?

 

[Piston Hyundai]

dan's christmas

that rocky poster is pretty fucking dope

 

[justjim89]

Damn, Dan got the big gold belt. That's pretty sweet.

 

[Data West]

It would help to start with at least 4 but I suppose you don't have to.

More like Dan's average Thursday.

I actually have bought 4 at some point. Might start that first.

 

[yami4ct]

5 is an OK starting point, but 4 would be more ideal. If you've been keeping up with PS+, you might even have it for free.

If you wanted to play both, you could mainline 4 and get the gist of the characters and worlds and then go all out with 5. The only PS3 game I would say not to start with is 3. You could, but it's easily the worst in the series and it heavily relies on the stories of 1+2.

 

[Joeku]

I'm about what feels like halfway through Yakuza 1 and I am seriously hoping they fix the combat in 2. Good lord.

 

[broncobuster]

I actually have bought 4 at some point. Might start that first.

Starting with 4 and moving to 5 is the best for newcomers. Missing out on the first three is inconsequential, in my opinion. Ought to treat it as backstory. Not much in the way of plot threads shared between games.

I'm about what feels like halfway through Yakuza 1 and I am seriously hoping they fix the combat in 2. Good lord.

It is fixed. Then in some ways worse in 3. Then better again from there.

 

[Fireblend]

Merry Christmas, GB GAF! You are all perfectly decent people for the most part.

 

[daydream]

playing through that, too, atm

what don't you like about it?

Well, the big thing(the loading) is gone at least.
