Greetings,

I keep noticing this more and more. So many people love this show.

I play an online rpg game, World of Warcraft, in some of my spare time. Recently while preparing to enter a rather involved combat area with a handful of guildmates the Raid Leader does a ready check and I respond:

"Lets be bad guys."

"Hey, lol. I love that you're a Browncoat."

For the next two hours most of the chat, while we utterly destroyed the place, consisted of Firefly quotes.

Turns out all ten of us in the group know and love Firefly and we all thought we were alone in that.

Or, it could be Virginia Tech.

But don't feel too lonely, mal4, I'm not far away from you in Mass.

I don't disagree on any particular point.

Cool, it's good to have someone in the neighborhood!

Virginia tech, I didn't think of that...

The VT stands for Vermont. Quiet little state in New England with a strong independant spirit.

We wear coats here, it's cold. More then a few of them are brown.

We wear goofy, hand-knit hats also, it's really cold.

And we got guns......

The Con in Orlando this month is Firefly and Serenity themed.

I hope some of you guys get a chance to come down

Yea, same thing happened in my guild when I talked about Serenity/Firefly. Ohh What server are you on WOW? I'm on the Thunderhorn Alliance

I play WoW on Earthen Ring, mostly.

I have been contemplating giving Eve online a good look.

So far cursory glances make it look like it could help get me a fireflyish (is that a word?) type of fix. Not sure how that game would treat someone just starting out as well as somone not really able to devote huge time.
