Funniest loading screen slpash sentences

[AlternNocturn]

Indeed, and the question was "contaminated" anyway, on account of a bunch of idiots crash landing on the planet in the past and ending up being the forerunners of humanity.

This is such an obscure reference and I only get it because I'm currently reading through the Ultimate H2G2 book as of this moment. Yay, I get to be a part of something!

Pointing towards space killed me. I am such a huge IT crowd fan.

[Alphard]

Mine are "cleaning thelaunch window" or "settling the argument of periapsis" (or apoapsis, one of them)  

[Sharpy]

"Raising dead threads".

[Samszee]

'Releasing the Kraken' while the picture was of the Kerbal Mission Control with the Kerbal in a shirt speaking or perhaps shouting into the phone. Tried to screenshot but by the time I found the screenshot shortcut the message had moved on

Haha but in truth this is a perfect example of a viable necro.

There's one about Kessler syndrome that I grin at every time I see it, and another about ignoring Dres. But I don't know the exact quotes.

[Sharpy]

Well, personally, considering my current experiences, "Falling off Gilly" is my favorite.

I don't mind this necro since there are new loading hints... but I dislike most of the new ones. "Transferring Hohmann", "Effecting Oberth", really?? 

"Adding more boosters", "Locating Jebediah", "Reaching a safe distance", "Bidding time", those are witty loading hints that bring out game flavour.

Although I like "calling orbital mechanic".

True, that one is funny. Imagine this greasy kerbal on an EVA suit with KIS tools...

[Fluburtur]

"Flying Safe" is nice, no need to say why

[Aragosnat]

Well mine has to go with a picture. Just for the expression:

 

But, yeah. Staging Mün Landing and Never Visiting Dres. Get a little chuckle from e as well. Dres on is so true. Never visited it yet..

[Streetwind]

As mentioned before, "Planting Flag on Pol..." is by far my favorite one, although it took ages for me to 'get it'. Most people probably still don't get it. Explanation here.

I'd want to plump up the first with something like "Transferring Hohmann to HR/TechSupport/TrackingStation", but the second I'd leave as is because a lot of people would think it to be the wrong verb until they look it up, and it relates to initializing a physics engine.

[Program Kerbal Space]

mine was "Proving Murphy's Law" it was so funny! if you don't know what Murphy's Law is it can be explained as "what ever can go wrong will go wrong."

I remember grinning at that one the first time I saw it

The perfect picture to go with the old 'Motivating Kerbals' loading hint.

[jhousen]

my favorite:

locating Jebediah Kerman

motivating kerbals

recruiting kerbals

in that order

 

[tab]

calculating ultimate answer

cutting founds

[monstah]

Hey.

I just saw "Calculating Better Burn Time" and "Strategizing". @Snark? @nightingale? Do you have any hands in this?

[septemberWaves]

I quite like "effecting Oberth" and "calling orbital mechanic". I can never have enough great puns.

Contract Configurator gives the ability to add loading tips, and I'm pretty sure the latter is from Strategia.

[JPLRepo]

There are a number of mods now that add tips, and you can add your own. Take a look in my sig.
