A little bit of news for the Firefly fans out there.

Wired News recently posted an article stating:

Multiverse, maker of a free MMO-creation platform, plans to announce Friday morning that it's struck a deal with Fox Licensing to turn the show into an MMORPG in the fashion of Star Wars Galaxies or Eve Online. (http://www.wired.com/news/technology/0,72263-0.html?tw=rss.index)

I find myself to be simultaneously flailing in excitement and anticipation as well as sinking into a deep, inescapable depression. My reasons for excitement should be clear. Firefly is some of the best science fiction ever made and I've often daydreamed in the hours before sleep of being an adorable yet very competent mechanic of a Firefly class transport ship. Or possibly living on the rim, searching for smugglers to eat alive and hang from the ceiling with chains and hooks. I do play horde in WoW after all.

Why hullo there.
Being new to this blog, I thought it might be prudent to begin with a small introduction. Very small, because the Halloween event is going on in World of Warcraft, and I have 23 more minutes before I can talk to the inn keeper again.
I mostly play MMOs. World of Warcraft is my current obsession and if I'm not blogging or working, you can safely assume I can be found on my brand new undead warlock I'm anxiously trying to get to 40.
But I'm pretty much your average girl gamer.
I like RPGs, and anime, and Neil Gaiman, and Doctor Who and all those other things one generally assumes to go hand-in-hand with being a girl gamer.
