OMG It's a Firefly MMOG!

Gaming Angels has an interview with one of the developers of a newly-announced MMOG set in the perfect universe of Joss Whedon's science fiction western Firefly. Corey Bridges of the Multiverse Network sounds off on everything from his own Browncoaty tendencies to how Firefly will fit into his company's larger network of MMOGs. What will the game be like? Development on the 2008 release has just begun, but Bridges says:

The characters [in Firefly] were amazing but so was the feel of the show--the senseof adventure, and quirky humor--andthat sense of being on the frontier, where there's unknown danger justpast the edge of camp. An MMO can do a good job conveying those aspectsof the show. You can't play as Captain Mal Reynolds--but you might meethim in the game. And maybe you could accept asmuggling mission from Badger or, if you're kinda nuts, from Niska.
Just don't fail. We'd love for cast and crew from the show to beinvolved in the game. We just finalized our partnership with Fox, sonow we are able to reach out to cast and crew, and see if theyare interested in being involved in this project.

W00t! See you in the black.
