yeah good short story!

maybe one should be made from the opponents side?

The horde/alien/opposing army getting revved up and Launching away for gloroius battle!

build up the suspense of being an all invincible armada, ready to conquer

The sheer amount of vessels going aganst one measly ship!

All patriotic and stuff!

only to be taken down by a single shot! :shock:

I have to say that I love the direction the blog is going. Not your average videogame stuff, it's all varied and new.
