XKCD Mentions KSP

Check out the mouse-over text in today's XKCD webcomic

Good to see our influence spreading!

I so know how that feels. That balloon kept me up all night when I'd just bought KSP, even though I had to get to work the next morning.

I regret nothing.

Hehe, this morning the ritual check of the xkcd website got even more awesome than usual! Although when you think about it, it isn't that surprising that Randall Munroe plays KS; who knows, he may even be lurking on the forums?...

I know that the opposite is true: http://forums.xkcd.com/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=72688 (HarversteR replied there).

Anyway, it was a good comic, only enhanced by seeing a shout-out to my favourite game.

Where does it mention KSP?

Nevermind. I see it.

I'm on a phone, would anyone care to transcribe what it says? Cheers

You can go to http://m.xkcd.com then; the alt-text can be read there.

In any case, it says: "20 balloons float away while I'm busy permanently tying one to a tree to deal with it for good. Unfortunately, that one balloon was 'land a rocket on the moon in Kerbal Space Program.'"

Brace yourselves.

A flood is coming.

On topic: Hooray! More publicity!

[Warringer]

One of us!

[Arrowstar]

Awesome.

[HarvesteR]

This is on a level of awesomeness right up there with the Curiosity team shout-out. Or even more so actually, I've been following xkcd for far longer than Curiosity.

Randall Munroe is one of my idols. I can't describe how awesome this feels!

Thanks for posting this!

Cheers

Curiously, while attempting to demonstrate this remarkable development of affairs to my wife i discovered...

It seems you cannot read alt-texts on the ipad

Or at least, it aint much straightforard...

Always good to see KSP getting more recognition.
