The "You know you're playing a lot of KSP when..." thread

[Altair1371]

Whenever you start a countdown, you always end with "ignition, we have liftoff".

[djblackliquor]

when you try to spot minmus in the night skies in real life O__O

[djblackliquor]

hahaha same feeling here xD

[inigma]

You know you play KSP too much when:

Your half-asleep 5 year old son walks into the kitchen for a glass of water before bed, and asks if it's ok to take the cat outside tomorrow "on an EVA with the leash."

You legally change your name to Jebediah

[JaySmoka]

When your wife know the real name of the game you are playing.

Skyrim is "Bashing dragon thing", Fallout is "Destroyed world with huge freaking things", Civ 5 is the "Boring game" etc

Mine calls CIV V "The game I must not play for it takes over my life and then I do not sleep or go to work"

Fallout is "That game it would be good to make into a film"

Skyrim is not on her radar.

KSP is "Your game" as in "Are you going to play your game?"

I used to play games, now I play a game...

when you clean you ears and wonder why there is no symmetry button to clean both ears...

[Sma]

I had a few to add but forgot them. I think one had something to do with randomly humming the different background music in the game, like the "muzak" in the VAB. Though it does seem to be lacking background music for launch. I'm thinking maybe Steppen Wolf...something having to do with magic carpets (I'm sure someone gets the reference ).

THinking about it...I THINK I did once hear some really quite background music while I had a rocket sitting on the launcher. Hmmm....

[Whirligig Girl]

You know you play too much KSP when you Start creating rockets in your dreams that actually work in KSP.

A few weeks ago, I realised that you could get a relativley fast, but still very efficient probe by using the Fatman nuclear rocket mod.

[Merinsan]

You slept 9 hours, and dreamed about spaceplane crashes the entire time.

Last night I continually dreamt about landing/docking an extension to my Minmus base, after spending about 3-4 hours before sleeping trying to and failing (due to the docking port being the wrong height).

[Merinsan]

When you plan your Duna colony by first building a Mun colony to test the modules, refine them then build a Minmus colony to test again, then plan a Gilly/Ike colony as a further test.

When you land within 1km of your target with a rover and feel disappointed about how imprecise it was.

When you are at the petrol station refueling the car and thinking about which bits of the car you could remove to get more deltaV

[BurntPhoenix]

when you turn on the faucet and think, "throttle to 50%"

[msyblade]

When you try to right click Scott Manleys orbital views on youtube, to try and get a look at the backside of the planet. Then think "Oh, thats not going to work.", and try it again 3 minutes later.

[Ford_Prefect]

When your rocket starts lagging. In the VAB.

edit: Forget it. When the frickin music starts stuttering, that's where the trouble begins.

Speaking of music...

...you know you've had too much KSP, if you see a video like this...

http://vimeo.com/67995158

...then hear the music, and start screaming, wild-eyed... "HONEY! THAT'S KSP MUSIC PLAYING RIGHT THERE!"

[Kilmeister]

When you are at the petrol station refueling the car and thinking about which bits of the car you could remove to get more deltaV

I thought about that today as I was pulling in to refuel. "The golf clubs in my trunk are lowering my car's deltaV, I should take them out after work."

Wait, the music stops stuttering?

[Pachi3080]

you know you play too much kerbal space program when, in the school, you write "Jool" instead of "Joule"

[Boex]

You know you play too much KSP when you reach for F5 to quicksave before skiing down a mountain, so you don't have to take the lift back up...

[MGUARN]

When your room starts looking like mission control.

[jocax188723]

When Kerbal vocabulary inexplicably enters everyday conversation.

"I think you need to burn retrograde a bit. An apoapsis that high can't be good for you."

"Whadaya mean you can't get here faster? Asparagus your way, then!"

And so on and so forth.

[RocketTurtle]
