Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

    What's with you people and your obsession with games that require a wiki to play?

    They cost less money and you spend more time playing them!

    See what the maximum velocity you can slam into the surface of the moon is.

    I did a test. Because the game doesn't have you burn up in atmo I decided to see how fast I could drop straight into Kerbin's atmosphere. I'm talking a perfectly vertical re-entry path. I was curious if the capsule would decelerate fast enough to not crash land. Well, I hit atmo doing over 5000 meters per second and decelerated at 129 gs.

    And safely landed. :)

    One thing to remember, Sarksus, in an orbit, if you start accelerating perfectly perpendicular to the body that you're orbiting (That is, keeping your rocket pointed at the horizon on the artificial horizon thing), your orbit on exactly the opposite side to where you are now will start extending outward.

    I still don't know what you guys are talking about.

    Is it sex? Are you talking about sex?

    I remember watching a show, about scientists who also practiced Islam, and how in the more hard-line areas of the middle east they basically can't say "hydrogen and oxygen combine to form water", but instead have to say "Allah allows hydrogen and oxygen to combine to form water because it pleases him." And I realized, that's where we're headed, where fundie Christianity is headed, or already has arrived to. When you go to the hospital and the doctor saves your life it's not "Oh the doctor was so skilled and performed life saving surgery" it's "Oh thank God it's a miracle, God was guiding the doctor's hand."


    In short, I don't want to live on this planet any more.

    So Netflix has me watching all these foreign martial arts movies... well... foreign movies in general. Yesterday I watched Outrage with Beat Kitano, good flick. Then I watched Raging Phoenix with this young lady.

    Also p good, not great. The fight scenes were good though. The incorporation of breakdancing and muay thai was really interesting.

    So we get stiff once in a while. So we have a little fun. What’s wrong with that? This is a free country, isn’t it? I can take my panda any place I want to. And if I wanna buy it a drink, that’s my business.

    Accelerating perfectly perpendicular to the body: check
    Keeping your rocket pointed at the horizon: check
    Or an artificial horizon: check
    Orbit on exactly the opposite side to where you are now: check
    Start extending outward: well, I would think this would be step 1, but check

    So yeah, I conclude you guys have been talking about sex.

    It's ok to point before extending. Some people are into seeing things grow.

    As for the obsession, I have ALWAYS been fascinated by gravity, especially gravity in a vacuum. Everything about it is just interesting to me, and Kerbal simulates gravity very convincingly. So it's just really interesting.

    Maybe they just didn't have enough development time to fit in trivial issues about mouse acceleration? Did you ever think of that?

    He supposedly does a lot of stuff.

    The Duke Burger section was pretty fun though.

    That's not very hard-line islam; a lot of muslims say inshallah and similar constantly. It's a language thing as much as a religious thing for many.

    To be fair, this minor mouse control issue was the one spec on an otherwise well-polished and memorable game.

    yeah, he also did the Revenge trilogy (Oldboy and Sympathy for Mr/Mrs Vengeance) as well as Takeshi's Castle

    I was disappointed by amazon prime's foreign film streaming section when it came to Japanese films.

    And my family doesn't get netflix streaming anymore because netflix did that price change crap.

    How am I supposed to watch japanese films hmmmmm?

    I bought the HD version on iTunes when it was on sale and found out after that it is dubbed instead of subbed which makes me want to vomit. Is the Netflix version subbed or dubbed?

    I know it's kind of weeaboo or beatnik or whatever but at this point English dubs/localizations from ANY language just annoy the fuck out of me, especially if it's live action.
