Yes to Buffy, No to Firefly

This makes for many a Sad Panda

From the world of TV shows turning into MMORPGS,The Metaverse is apparently busy shifting its priorities. While we've been aching for news of the Firefly MMO that was announced back in 2006, Buffy seems to have presented itself as a stronger IP since the Buffy MMO has now been announced, while the Firefly MMO has been put on hold.

Now, I don't know about you, but I don't think this is the correct view of things. I have a unique perspective, since I seem to be the only gamer on the face of the earth who hasn't seen either TV series. The response I get from friends trying to convince me to see Firefly is usually more visceral than those of the Buffy fans. And besides, I thought we were past the emo stage, where it would be a game goal to be angst, personified.

*shrug* Just my observations.

I'm SO going to Jeynestown.

Massively, the new all-things-MMO-related blog, seems to think that Google might be sinking its tendrils into the Firefly MMO.

Google made a deal with Multiverse (the company connected to the possibly problematic Firefly MMO) to sync Multiverse's flexible virtual reality engine with Google's assets and tools. The Reuters blog MediaFile points out that au courant industry figures are taking the existence of a Google virtual world for granted at this point.
