Canttakesky:

Okay, some more. When you build the Saloon, the voiceover is "Do they serve Mudder's Milk?" and when you start a gold mine, you get "Shiny!".

I almost missed the "shiny" (believe it or not), because I use it very much and it seems completely normal to say it.

All is shiny behind the Redwood Curtain.

I made a post about Westward (the first one) back in April:

http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=2&t=33445

There were two main characters in it named Kaylee Whedon and Simon Whedon. But there were also several pop culture references to other movies, TV, Westerns, even the chickens were named "Colonel" (as in Colonel Sanders of KFC, I assume). There were Little House on the Prairie references, even an entire side quest based on Gilligan's Island. They seemed to be trying to work in as many different references as possible.

But Westward II definitely seems to have more Firefly/Serenity references than the first version.

Which is why I LOVE it.
