Orbiter at Television Tropes

[Scruce]

Was browsing through orbiter related articles when i discovered this interesting article at tvtropes.org:

Hmm, they seemed to have removed the Holy from the page...

Damnit, you need to be careful about posting Tvtropes links. I'm going to be lost in there for the next hour, at least.

Hahah, what's even better is that I didn't get sucked in...because I've already read all of those pages. :shifty:

That article was how I found out about the existence of Planetes. They described Orbiter as "Planetes meets Microsoft Flight Simulator".

Same. It's a great way to find interesting shows or games that you missed.

Man, Planetes was awesome. Time to dredge it up from the depths of my external hard drive again...

Darn it Scruce. Now I have a terrifyingly high amount of tabs open and they're being created at a faster rate than I can close them.

My method for dealing with TVTropes is to open tabs for a while, then just stop. It doesn't work.

Planetes is awesome isn't it!

How to keep someone busy for an hour... :shifty:

 

[IgnoreThisBarrel]

Phew... finally done after two hours!

Funnily enough, the very last article I finished reading before all TVTropes-related tabs were closed was the Orbiter one. I have a short attention span when it comes to these types of things.

It's about a group of BIG DAMN HEROES who set out to ALWAYS SAVE THE GIRL in their COOL STARSHIP.

While the BIG BAD and his MOOKS attempt a XANATOS GAMBIT to steal the MACGUFFIN...

Oh god, I wish I hadn't seen this site. I was supposed to do maths today, and right now I've got 9 tabs open without considering the orbiter-forum tab, and I expect this number to increase.

It's absolutely priceless for any would-be writer. Will spare you from DIDN'T DO THE RESEARCH.
