I no longer feel the need to marry. This is basically all I wanted out of life.

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 [Firefly] into an MMORPG in the fashion of Star Wars Galaxies or Eve Online.

Yes, that’s right: a Firefly MMOG. FUCKING AWESOME.

Space piracy, here I come. …Or possibly space: the oldest profession. It’s hard to decide.

Also, the whole Multiverse thing is pretty cool if you haven’t heard about it. It’s a platform for developers to make it a lot easier, faster, and cheaper to create MMOGs, while hopefully still allowing a fair amount of control over and variety between different game systems. Right now, virtual worlds are so expensive to create that the majority of people/companies just don’t have the resources. Multiverse would open doors for indie games, which like indie music, would really broaden the options available to consumers.

    I already knew about it. Was that one of those things I was supposed to tell you?

  2. Dad says:

    I’m so totally out of it. I guess I need to find out something about Firefly.

  3. Nikki says:

    Even I knew that, and I have yet to see Firefly! I told my friend who loves firefly and she freaked out, but you being an mmorpg-buff AND a Firefly fan…I can’t even imagine. :p

    Dear Matt & Nikki,

    You are dead to me.

    No love, Cabell

    (Okay, okay, you’d THINK I’d know about this kind of thing, but I haven’t really had any kind of internet access for WEEKS.)

    Dad: That’s the series I wanted us all to watch together over break. I have it on DVD.
