Whackjob KSP Youtube series? Gauging interest.

[Red Iron Crown]

Whackjob, you should consider speeding up the low-framerate parts of the video (thinking of the huge asparagus launch in particular). If you want to show the framerate you deal with when making your contraptions a few seconds is probably enough.

[Tex]

I'd be glad to learn from you, sir! Even though we probably won't (or at least I don't think I will) use such huge machines, I know your tricks and tips will be useful. Please do share!

[quietsamurai98]

Yes please!

[TMS]

Needs more crackers.

[temporalExile]

All of my yes

Every last ounce gram of it

Edit: NO BAD BRAIN! HOW DARE YOU USE IMPERIAL MEASUREMENT!

[Eric S]

My favorite KSP YouTube videos are where either the presenter or I am learning something, and I'm fairly positive I'd learn something, so I'm up for it.

[Whackjob]

While I mull over other things at the office, anyone have any requests or ideas for episode two? Or should I just build something randomly big?

[Majorjim!]

A thousand times, YES!

[NFUN]

I knew it! Your video confirmed something I've been strongly suspecting for a while. Anyways, it was good, just a little more video fast forward for the laggy bits and a slightly louder mic would be nice.

[MGCJerry]

Yes. I would be even more insane (and great), if you and Danny2462 collaborate on some projects.

Oh no... Poor Kerbalkind...

[BLUESTREAK]

Land your biggest lander on something! Or build one - I'd be very interested to know how you get those massive legs to work and support things.

Was intrigued by that strut/truss system you had going on there at the end - will certainly be using that... What's the maximum sort of load it can support?

Because BLUESTREAK has fat, fat fingers...

[Whackjob]

Ok. There's an idea for a part 2. Lander legs.

[HafCoJoe]

WhackJob. That would be amazing! I hope you do a vid or two I would greatly enjoy whatever outcome!

Yeah your lander legs would be a great episode highlight. Another one would be the use of multiple docking port attachments as you know pretty well how to do them.

Love the video! My suggestions would be to have a crazily overpowered rocket to go to the Mun. Maybe back. Whatever. As long as i can hear you cackling while it happens

Lander legs sounds great! Be sure to test land the work of whackness on top of the VAB before flying it anywhere else...

Also, could you put a lil' CPU and GPU temp indicator in the top or bottom of the screen? That'd be great, cant wait to see episode 2!!! ^^

The needle goes to "thorium molten salt reactor".

19:53 and 20:36.......those 2 time stamps for the video are just pure gold. Thankyou whackjob for a truly, truly spectacular couple of moments in a completely glorious video!

If you are using windows, one of the "gadgets" that comes with it is a CPU usage meter, it has a seperate bar for RAM ☻.

[Whackjob]

And I've an idea for more content. I once build a very large rover, but never really did anything with it. How about a couple of episodes? One, building and testing a newer, BIGGER rover, two, trying to launch it into spaaaaace, and three, getting it to the Mun and / or Minmus? I could easily record a few hours of all the work that would entail.

[quasarquantum]

"do i really wanna do all that again? NO."

love how you started with the fitting nosecones and then just winged it haha

[HafCoJoe]

See just how many clampotrons you can stick together until the game crashes?

[DoToH]

Best way to learn how to build big (and stay in one piece).

[SpacedCowboy]

I want season tickets! (No offence Squad, but this is almost exciting as 1.0)

[Whackjob]

I gotta admit, I'm very encouraged so many folks actually care to see me do my thing, haha! Episode two when I de-office.

[Superfluous J]

Very cool content there, Whackjob! I learned 2 new things in as many minutes, and several more over the course of the video.

You could have changed your root part with the root part change tool. I don't know how it would have handled THAT root part, but I've never had a problem with it with more modest designs.

You could have locked the orange tanks exactly centered onto the modular girder segments with the translate tool. I find it very handy though your MGS/Strut solution at the end of the video looks to be a great way to mitigate unwanted torque between engines in spite of them not being perfectly centered.

You should have clipped out the transition stuff, and I agree that speeding up some parts would be nice. That big launch where 25 seconds took like 5 minutes would have been better if it'd only taken a minute to watch

All in all, very fun vid. I'll watch more! (And I totally agree with you about Scott Manley)
