They finally animated Edmonton in all its glory in the Gundam universe!

102 Avenue & 102 Street

Gundam IBO 102 avenue & 102 street

Jasper avenue and 107 street

Gundam IBO Jasper avenue and 107 street

This Gundam series is really heavy on the violence and child soldier dying side so unless you want to slog thru all of that I wouldn't recommend it to see Edmonton for 2 minutes tops.

Alright, here's the last one of the set. This one is my favourite of the bunch, although "Sky + + Box" comes in a close second. Once again, the voice of Carl Sagan is featured here, this time for segments of his famous "Pale Blue Dot" speech.

In this film, a strange probe reaches Kerbal with a message from an alien world.

Yes, patience is definitely needed for KSP. It isn't a game that you can just drop in on and play a level. Stuff needs to be planned. Rockets will explode. But I tell you it's a great feeling to get that first capsule into orbit about Kerbin.

OK, just a couple more vids, I swear. This one was inspired by what happens when too many mods are loaded into the game and the ensuing system crash that it causes, giving it a rather sombre quality. Once again, it's a very artful production.

My buddy has a youtube channel were he plays Kerbal space program among other games. Seems interesting but I don't think I would have the patience to build my way up to getting to the moon.

Liked the octopi gif wish I actually took up scuba when I had a chance.

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. I liked that .gif, too. Almost like he was saying 'Welcome to the neighbourhood!'

I've got a few more vids to share from that set. This one is a parody of '2001: A Space Odyssey'. It also features Scott Manley, a Scottish engineer who has become something of a celebrity in the KSP world for his many how-to videos on YouTube.

That's really cool, Tony!

I couldn't make my post work. It's just a gif!
So if you want to see it (I recommend you do, particularly if you're a fan of octopi), click here.

Speaking of sharing things, here's something I've been meaning to show for some time now.

A favourite game of mine as of late is the 'Kerbal Space Program'. In short, you build rockets and the like to help put a race of little green aliens into space. (It's actually a lot trickier than it sounds.) Like with many games and TV shows, it has a bunch of fan tribute items - in this case, short films made using the game. Often, there is little more than a basic plot and some action sequences and that's it. But one YouTube user managed to take some short films in a different direction, and make something artful. This is one of those films, a tribute to Neil Armstrong and the Apollo program. And yes, that is Carl Sagan that you hear providing narration of sorts.
