You know you're addicted to Orbiter when...

The Tuesday joke has been around for a while.

Basically it started when Dansteph said that he would release the DGIV on Tuesday. Everyone thought he meant the following Tuesday, but he didn't say which Tuesday.

Whoever maintains the wiki: we need to add this: http://www.orbiterwiki.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=tuesday&go=Go

...when you start writing a page for it, even though it will only contain a few words.

There should be an "Orbiter Meme" category on the wiki.

And here I thought it had to do with that comical moment in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home:blink:

When you never quite believe your teacher when he/she says that they will have the tests graded by Tuesday.

When you chuckle at the many explanations of the "Tuesday" joke (it goes far beyond Orbiter).

As I've said before, it stems from a Trek reference in Star Trek: Generations (Harriman's Enterprise-B: Every suggestion Kirk makes is rebutted with Tuesday; "Tractor beam" "It won't be installed until Tuesday" "The medical staff doesn't arrive until Tuesday", etc etc ad nauseum).

Dan's Tuesday release brought it to the Orbiter community as a meme, perhaps, but the joke is older than that. Also, Martin himself, with Orbiter 2010, subscribed to the Tuesday meme.

I believe Urwumpe had the capacity to add pages to the wiki, but I could be mistaken on that front.

I'll do my homework tuesday!

 

[n122vu]

when your wife is pouring you a drink and says, "Say when." and you ALWAYS respond with "Tuesday." Then you try in vain to explain why Tuesday (Star Trek: Generations was what started that for me, actually, as well). And then, when Star Trek: Generations is on TV, and it gets to the scene with the Enterprise B, you yell at your wife to come into the living room to watch the whole scene, only to have her say "You called me in here for that? I was busy!! Anyway I don't get your stupid Tuesday thing. You're a dork."

More like "the Doghouse" which is where most of us end up after spending a "little too much" time in Orbiter:facepalm:

Record in your max resolution, in 32 bit depth, and convert to 720p.
