Right, I have the afternoon off! I'm going to do something productive today, like finish that video I hinted at earlier in the week!
Gets home...
*Steam is left on the Kerbal Space Program page*
Oh, what's the harm in a quick game of KSP before getting down to business?
...nine hours later...
Well, shit.
I don't claim to be particularly great at this game. The problem comes from not playing it in ages, and then returning to it. You have to basically relearn it from scratch.
So, last night I got up to level 3 tech, and decided to make a spaceplane (which is basically impossible at that level)
Here's what it looks like on the ground, complete with all of the boosters:
...and here we have it actually leaving the atmosphere:
..buuuuuut since I'm useless at designing planes and this one kept crashing, I decided instead to build a car.
In the real world, I really would like to build my own car. It'd be a low-slung sports car with the engine in the middle and all of the horsepowers.
In the meantime, I have to make do with building stuff in KSP.
I call this one the Elan Rover, because it reminds me a little of the original Lotus Elan:
Not content with that, though, I decided to strip it back (and rename it to Elan S, as you do) and send it to the Mun.
So here it is, catching some mad... er... vacuum.
I've been thinking of this as my "Lotus Rover" but seeing as it's rear-engined, perhaps I should think of it as being a Porsche Rover instead?
Ha!
Back to music, though.
I've been putting together some video as an introduction to my gear and to demonstrate how I work in funky time signatures. Stay tuned, because I'll be finishing that up in the next couple of days. I've set up a Youtube channel to accompany this blog, so hopefully I'll be posterising some cool shit in the next few days!
Stay chooned!
