This series is so good. Thank you Gbeast for creating and continuing with this series. This might be one of my favorite video series on the site.

And oh my god, the part where they land the ship sideways! It's stuff like that that proves Vinny is the best video game player ever.

Imho series is good, but it ain't got shit on P4 ER

The Endurance Run would probably be my favorite, if I sat down and watched it.

Persona 4/Persona 4 Golden is my favorite game of all time, but the series itself was years before my time. (Started following Giant Bomb around 2013)

I've never played Kerbal, but it's been pretty clear to me from almost the beginning of this series that they have never been even close to having enough fuel for a full trip. At least with the way they have been flying up until now. I hope they get that sorted out soon.

That was a pro flip.

Someone has probably said this better already, just finished watching! Trial and error is a much more entertaining way to learn than wiki tutorials, but here are some things you will probably never guess:

RCS controls: it's basically a second WASD but with IJKL. H is thrust forward, N is thrust backwards It's awesome for fine tuning orbits and approaches, almost essential for rendezvous. You can use it to land on Minmus (the second, smaller moon further out, I find it easier to land on but a little harder to get caught in it's orbit).

For Kerbin return, don't aim your ship home. That will never work. Just thrust in the opposite direction of the muns orbit (imagine the muns "retrograde" vector) So go due east or west depending on what side of mum you are launching from. You can do this pretty much straight away, have your ship sideways as soon as you launch (just account for crater rims). It didn't make sense to me and I don't know how it works, but doing this is super efficient. Just ignore the predicted orbits until you reach escape, and you'll find your orbit will auto put you close to or inside Kerbins atmosphere.

@shepdelonge: Seriously, man. Looking at your post history, nearly every comment you make is something negative about one of the guys. No one is forcing you to be here and it's doubtful that anyone is going to get fired just because you post about how much they annoy you.

If you hate it that much, move on. This isn't Youtube.
