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

Link to latest post is: 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" is in the blogger since April 2008, so there may be hope still. It's pretty well thought text IMO.
There are three things that last forever: Abort, Retry, Fail - and the greatest of these is Fail.

 
Re: Lookee what I found!
while you're finding cool stuff, how about a free RTS game that's halfway decent?  :p
Sig nuked! New one coming soon!

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 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.

Re: Lookee what I found!
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. :)

Re: Lookee what I found!
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. :)

Does that mean we weren't meant to see him?

Re: Lookee what I found!
Times like this make me realise how much of my brainspace is taken up with Freespace trivia like fighter names and such.
