Here we see foreshadowing for the many Kerbal deaths that -- many years later -- would follow these early training missions. Remember the fallen.

I bought a premium membership for Flight Club! Really wish there was more @snide! Maybe you could cheat and incorporate EVE into it? I know you were thinking about playing that.

Either way, come on man!

Was Vinny whistling the theme song from MGS2 at the end?

It's weird, I never really noticed this before but the beginning of this game kinda reminds me of the beginning of the original half life like they were saying. Also all these sound effects remind me of half life too.

Edit: What am I an idiot, of course, Half Life was made on id tech 2.

Cute, but I was praising for admitting a mistake online as very few people have the balls to do that, let alone admit it to themselves.

I believe I know who it was playing Doom 3 last, as does everybody else. A little Fear Gauntlet, anyone?

EDIT: Damn, I was close. They were playing the XBox version. Maybe Steve and Kessler booted up the PC version?

They don't have any interns at the new place, and steve and kessler left long before the move from the old place.

No. Dave mentioned they got the pc from the gamespot guys. Someone from gamespot was playing some doom 3 for some reason.

The shuttle wasn't capable of going to the moon. Just sayin'.

Are you a highly trained engineer, or did you just watch an internet video and decide to be a dork on an internet forum?

Are you threatened by intelligence, or do you consider it a badge of honor to wave your ignorance around an internet forum?

It's simple physics, no intensive training necessary. The shuttle's rockets don't provide the lift to go to the moon, because the shuttle wasn't designed to go to the moon.

I assumed you were waving conspiracy theories around, for my ignorance I apologize.

It may be because i recently beat mgs 3 for the first time recently but i thought the best bit was the whistling of the mgs theme
