Unfinished: Kerbal Space Program 08/11/2012

Candidate for Quick Look of the Year! Yes!!!!!!

This...was...AMAZING.

Oh what a delight! I laughed so much I'm really afraid I've used up my laugh quota and the rest of this week is just going to be miserable...

This is one of those Quick Looks that made me go and buy a game immediately...

Also, very funny.

I know too much about this game. Their lack of knowledge really irritates me. That's unfortunate.

I'm pretty sure you've missed the point of this video. Knowledge is for suckers.

I know. There is just nothing I can do about it. I'll happily laugh my ass off when they mess around with the next flight sim since I'm as clueless as they are. Until then.

So I fell into a hole of watching some youtube videos of this game and found a guy who seriously knows his stuff. He flew a ship all the way to the furthest body and landed on it, didn't have enough fuel for the return so puts his craft in orbit around the body, then builds another ship to go and rescue this orbiting craft. It's clearly not something just anyone could do.

Helps that he's a pleasant guy to listen to. This is the video of the rescue mission. Pretty crazy.

Wow this game goes deep. Awesome video! :D

That was awesome.

I didn't really understand de-orbit burns or space travel in general until Kerbal Space Program. As others have pointed out in the thread, it's a great blend of fun, loosey-goosey mechanics ripped from Nuts and Bolts and actual hard-nosed physics.

As I guy who was once a kid hellbent on becoming an astronaut (even attended Space Camp in Huntsville, AL) this is awesome! Untold hours will be wasted dicking around with this.

As far as more precision stuff like landing on the Mun, that'll take some actual effort and mild sciencing. My 3rd rocket was a half-assed Saturn V knockoff that had me overshooting the Mun's orbit by a considerable margin. I suppose if I tone that down a bit and build up an entire stage for deceleration and landing, I could do it. Of course, then there's the matter of getting back.

this is hilarious

I love this game.

What the hell is this?!

indie program game.. ~w~

If this was used in a Breaking Brad, I would subscribe to the site.

Well I know why none of these guys went into aeronautical engineering.

Guys....... slice the pie

Also, this needs to be a new GBFC series like once a week or every two weeks. They need to keep with it and get them Kerbals to the moon!

Well, I've bought it now, I want to blow up all of the Kerbals but the dl is taking an age. KEEEEEERBAAAAAAALS!

Finally :) been waiting for this QL for months!

Highlarious.

Just like my chilhood routine with LEGOS, but now with physics simulation and infinite parts at disposal..... NICE

Wow, with this being over an hour it's less of a Quick Look and more of a Flight Club video, awesome.

We need a new feature were vinny, dave and drew try to get to mars and land!

hell yes!!!

Last night I decided to check out Giantbomb (had not in awhile), and thought to myself "Wow, i can't wait until they do a Kerbal Space Program Quick Look". Navigated to the Quick Looks to see what was new... and KSP was the newest one!! :DD

I was laughing so hard while at the same time trying not to wake up everyone in the house lol. This is def. one of the best QLs!

This is the absolute best Quick Look I've seen in quite some time. I mean...they are often good but this one made laught out loud many times. A combination of a cool game and some funny guys! That was awesome Vinny, Drew and Dave! Loved it!

best quick look in a while!

This was amazing.

I love Vinny, Dave and Drew Quick Looks. A whole hour, too!

I grabbed this like a year ago, but only played it a bit. It looks like they have added a lot. Time to re-download!

This is the reason I subscribe to this site ths right here, you guys are awesome I just wish flight club or random pc game with you guys was a more regular occurrence

I bought Kerbal after this quicklook. It's fun and challenging. I want to get to the moon!

This was brilliant. Great quicklook.. and I even bought the game.

I wonder if they noticed a little bump in sales after this came out.

One of the best quick looks of all time! Epic!

I actually feel sorry for all those Kerbals after all those horrible and fiery deaths. Though I suspect that if they were Rabbids instead, I'd find it easier to send them up, never to return.

Amazing Quick Look nonetheless.

I think Sony will probably eventually try and make a clone of this with Sackboys.

Amazing Quick Look, guys. Space Flight Club gooooooooooooooooo!

Oh my gosh, this was hilarious. I just had oral surgery, and this made me come as close to laughing as anything in the last few days. It hurts so much, but this video is worth it.

Haha, that shit is hilarious!

Oh man I so wana see the premium flight club stuff, anyone know how long they go for? If they're anything like this it'll be 5bucks well spent.

Seriously. I want this game revisited in Flight-Club format, and the guys attempting to land on the "Mun".

Amazing stuff.

My stomach hurts from all the laughing. This was an amazing quick look.

@Jodski: They're usually at least an hour. And they tend to be a bit slower-paced than this, but that $5 is still totally worth it, especially if you also want to watch Thursday Night Throwdowns.

Great Quick Look. Also like the only time I've finished a QL and immediately bought the game.

Quick Look of the Year.

Aww come on guys, it's ONLY rocket science! :) Great quick look! I loved it!

Nice Atlas Shrugged reference!

Very good stuff!

Hahahaha! Not only was this a great QL, the game looks right up my alley. "What planet am I on?" Smartest joke I've heard in a while.

By far the most I've laughed at Quick Look in a long time. And in a good way! Well done.

I played the demo after this quicklook, and after a few hours put my Kerbalnauts into orbit around Kerbin, but now they have no way to get back. They'll have to wait possibly weeks for their orbit to decay. I shut down the demo and Squad now has my $18 American.

Listen to me you donkeys, you MUST buy this game if you love space.

LOL... oh man, hilarious.

Does your ship have any RCS Thrusters? They might not seem too powerful but they can de-orbit a ship.

=/

When should we release the parking brakes? NEVER!

I'm crying over here! This s my favorite one.
