Neato.  A blog by a GTVA pilot (http://gtva-ofcom.blogspot.com/).

It's awesome. One thing though- is it still "alive", or is the blog not continued anymore ?

How do you always find cool things like this?

Link to latest post is: http://gtva-ofcom.blogspot.com/1999/09/fighting-blind.html (http://gtva-ofcom.blogspot.com/1999/09/fighting-blind.html)

...if that means what I think it does, the latest post was posted in September 1999... it might not mean that, though. The screenshots for example definitely don't look like FS2_Retail. Especially the background nebulas, thrusters and the jump effect.


Also, in his profile it says "Noah (http://www.blogger.com/profile/03664124062122734796)" is in the blogger since April 2008, so there may be hope still. It's pretty well thought text IMO.

while you're finding cool stuff, how about a free RTS game that's halfway decent?  :p

I'm just that good. :D

And I used Google blog search to search for "FreeSpace 2".

Check the links to the other posts.  One has "1980" in the link, and another has "2367".  I wouldn't assume those are accurate dates. :)

Find a decent RTS game, then ask your dad to get it for you for Christmas. :D

StarCraft (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/StarCraft) has gotten good reviews, though I haven't played it.

And it seems I just got my answer - 2 new blogs, a few hours after I first saw this site.

Wow...this is pretty damn awesome.  It reminds me somewhat of that old FS1 fic that Eishtmo wrote.  I'm a total sucker for the retelling of game stories in a more narrative fashion. :)

That's pretty awesome... there are some typos and noticed on the first blog says that the Myrmidon is replacing the Herc, but it's no big deal. :)

Actually, and ironically, it isn't. :)

Any hints as to who it may be? Someone from gtva.org perhaps? Also i miss the nodewars forums too, the guys there had some pretty cool fanfic.

Hah i just noticed, He says they were flying Pegasus fighters at the Enif Defense... 
Does that mean we weren't meant to see him?

Times like this make me realise how much of my brainspace is taken up with Freespace trivia like fighter names and such.

It wouldn't be that hard to figure out who it is if I bothered to look over it.

Just a few seconds gives tons of clues.
