Nobody on the East playing Witness? Surprised to not hear any talk on the Beastcast.

Austin and Vinny briefly mentioned it.

 

[Antiwhippy]

my current problem is i keep underestimating the amount of fuel I need to get from munar orbit descent -> ascent -> kerbin orbin maneuvering -> atmo re-entry. Right now I'm stranded in space lowering my periapsis by hand.

You'd want to go see a doctor about that instead of using your own hands.

Austin and Vinny briefly mentioned it.

Must have missed that part. Damn people in my office trying to talk to me.

 

[Noray]

what, seriously? yeah there's a whole solar system. the Mars equivalent isn't too hard to land on, assuming you can get there. it has low gravity and an atmosphere so you can just parachute down. I accidentally landed on another planet once. that's kind of it as far as I've made it. it takes a ton of fuel, a lot of waiting, and very careful flying to hit other planets.

as long as you launch into the correct orbit (something Vinny has trouble with), you can basically hit the moon by accident, assuming you have the fuel

I mean my exposure to that game is entirely through GB and Vinny hasn't managed to get *off* the moon yet, so I hadn't really thought about what's beyond that.

I'm hoping for some Witness talk on the Beastcast this week.

 

[Houndi101]

Could you actually make a space station in orbit?

 

[Patryn]

hope so - I don't think it'll get that great of a score from the GB guys but I'm still really interested to hear how they like it since Jeff seemed to only play the original campaign once and wasn't that interested in going back to EW.

The first one won GOTY from GB.

Why do you think the second wouldn't get a great score?

 

[mnz]

You have to, otherwise it would only be a station.

This is where I'd post Jeff's reaction to Jason's joke from Old Game Show if I had that handy.

 

[stump sock]

of course. though it's somewhat limited in usefulness. great for interplanetary flights though, because you can make a space refueling station.

apparently you can mine for ore and convert that into fuel now, so I'm in the process of trying to build a refueling station on Mun, but I crashed my heavy-ass drilling station trying to land it last night.

 

[Glitchesarecool]

but can i reach girl in kerbal space program

well?

Is girl on her way back from pluto? You can just meet in the middle.

Well that moment at 1:13:00ish was exactly what I was hoping would happen.

Spoiler

Actually would cutting the engine have helped at all? I feel like he needed to have dumped the engine before he hit the atomosphere

Wow this series just keeps on giving. Holy shit.

All of this sounds difficult so I need GBeast to do all of it.

Giant Bomb #20 | DANGERWANKERS

 

[Antiwhippy]

Pfft, that's just amateur exhibitionism.

 

[RepairmanJack]

I feel like someone just watched or read We Need to Talk About Kevin and saw a certain scene as inspiration.

 

[StopMakingSense]

Man, that Project B.E.A.S.T. was something else.

 

[Antiwhippy]

I mean it's really not a new thing.

Plus you know it's us getting back to nature man. Cavemen didn't care about other cavemen watching them have a wank. Totally paleo.

 

[MassiveNights]

Kerbal has become the highlight of the Giant Bomb week

 

[MassiveNights]

In fact I would go as far to say that Kerbal: Project B.E.A.S.T - Part 08 is one of the best pieces of content they've ever uploaded. I mean holy shit.

 

[Felix Lighter]

Oh my god. Kerbal, ha ha. Every human emotion triggered.

 

[stump sock]

Well that moment at 1:13:00ish was exactly what I was hoping would happen.

Spoiler

he hit the atmosphere at 10 times the speed of sound, he was fucked no matter what he did

 

[FluxWaveZ]

? They always liked SR2.

Huh? No, Giant Bomb disliked SR2.

 

[strafer]

Took Drew 40 minutes to have him use a Buddy.

>.<

 

[stump sock]

whoa, actually Apollo 11 had a reentry speed of 11km/s, that's insane

looking it up, it seems like a capsule in Kerbal with a heat shield can survive about 3km/s though you'll probably rip all your parachutes at that speed?

Everything in Kerbal is on a much smaller scale than reality.

 

[skynidas]

Dan drinks 10+ cans of soda a day? wtf.

 

[| Praxis |]

I have really enjoyed the Kerbal videos. I really need to start playing it again, I just wish I had Vinny sitting with me when I do.

Yeah I looked that up too. Super nuts.

You saying that Vinny is your favorite space dad?

BOOM. VERIFIED FACT. STOP LYING.

if this is true, diabetes incoming

Surprise he doesn't have diabetes.

What is the ultimate goal of the Kerbal videos from the Beast crew?
Is there "We are not gonna stop until we do X" like the plan was with Dan and Punch-Out?

Get to the Mun, get back alive, leave no-one (alive) in space.

And to hear the lamentations of their women.

Ah, well see I can't tell what any of the numbers are watching at 144p. But yeah, lol.

 

[stump sock]

Everything in Kerbal is on a much smaller scale than reality.

I dug a little deeper and it seems to be consistent with reality when adjusted for scale. so even still,

Spoiler

Vinny was approaching the atmosphere at apollo-scale speeds, but at a near 90 degree angle, and without heat shields

 

[Sulik2]

Dan drinks 10+ cans of soda a day? wtf.

He drinks diet, he will probably have some weird disease from all the junk in diet, but likely not diabetes.

 

[Felix Lighter]

The end of today's episode,

Spoiler

so tragic, Eridolin Kerman overslept on the worst possible day.

Are you saying Vinny is a bad rocket engineer, plot planner and pilot? >_>

You might call him a Triple Threat.

Saints row 2 is the best saints row game

 

[stump sock]

Are you saying Vinny is a bad rocket engineer, plot planner and pilot? >_>

he's actually, fantastically, unintentionally(?) creating a fascinating series because he's constantly making progress but failing at every step at least once

it's actually pretty impressive

 

[Patryn]

Saints row 2 is the best saints row game

This really makes me wonder if anyone has done an in-depth study about how Giant Bomb's game preferences differ from that of their audience.

 

[shortsFortallPeople]

Saints Row never appealed to me when it was basically a GTA knock off. It wasn't until they went batshit crazy with SR3 that i was even mildly interested

 

[LiK]

SR1 and 2 didn't click for me. I didn't like SR until 3.

 

[strafer]

next mgs scanline will be awesome

although that jeep ride is terrible
