the light at the end of the tunnel

… is actually a very large, interstellar freight train with your name written on its cowcatcher.
I reported, with some enthusiasm, on the development of a Firefly-based MMO game back in 2006. Well, there has not been a whole lot of news about it since, and being the naive idiot I am, I believed no news was good news.
I was wrong.
So, The Multiverse Network is abandoning one Joss Whedon project for another one? And this is supposed to bode well for the second project? Righto.
Trust me, I have nothing against Buffy, and I could certainly get pumped up about a MMO set in its universe. However, that small level of enthusiasm would be a pale candle compared to the class O star my excitement for a Firefly MMO would generate. Oh well. Firefly and Browncoats alike have always gotten the short end of the stick… That’s what makes us special.
