So I've been continuing my trend of playing older games, making my way through the first two Quake games once again. Then I jumped several years forward to Max Payne, mostly inspired by the latest trailer for the film, and Tron 2.0, which I do not have to give a reason to play again, so I'm getting closer to the present. Both the latter titles hold up surprisingly well, though shootin' dudes, whether they are digital constructs or over-acting mobsters, will never get old. Spore comes out soon, and I have not absorbed any related media since the epic Robin Williams E3 disaster from a while back, and my interest has definitely waned. Like LittleBigPlanet, I am not actually sure in what way it is a game but hopefully by not building myself up to any crazy expectations I can only be pleased by what releases.
Speaking of video games, which I do non-stop, I wanted to shed some light on this story. Now neither of these properties I would think would be a fantastic fit for an MMO, but they stopped work on a Firefly MMO to work on a Buffy MMO? They stopped work on a Firefly MMO to work on a Buffy MMO.
They stopped work on a Firefly MMO to work on a Buffy MMO.
They stopped work on a Firefly MMO to work on a Buffy MMO.
What the fuck is going on?

The Evolution Will Not Be Televised
I'm sure many of you have heard about it by now, but in case you haven't, you have until midnight this Sunday to check out Joss Whedon's latest offering Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog starring Doogie Howser and Mal Reynolds. It's slow to really get going and not the greatest thing he's ever made, but Whedon's goals are admirable enough, I just don't know if this is the kind of franchise to try to jump start these heady ideas of what the medium should become into motion. Things pick up when Fillion finally appears, but it really just made me want to go back and watch through Firefly again, which is not the kind of sentiment that urges me to rush out and buy Dr. Horrible merchandise.
At any rate, I'd still recommend checking it out, while you still can (For free, at least).
