Let me just
say this right away; I've known about Minecraft for a good while now, so it's
not that I wasn't aware it existed that kept me from getting into the craze.
I've even come across the occasional youtuber showing off their geeky
creations. But for a good while I was just under the impression that it really
wasn't my kind of game. Not really because of the graphics, but because I have
a thing against first person point of view in games. But seeing my two nieces
playing it enthusiastically, I decided I might as well give it a proper shot,
especially since it was easily available for my new ipad. So I bought it, tried
it out and I actually got really into it. And now I'm ready to show off my
first fandom-related creation (and hopefully there will be more to come, once I
find some new inspiration).
This game
was a definite yes for my gaming collection the very minute I learned of its
development. I'm a huge Firefly fan. I've
met most of the cast (and recurring people) from both show and movie, gone crazy in
the merchandise department (official and not so official), written fanfiction
and made fanvideos. I desperately wanted to join the kickstarter campaign, but
unfortunately they weren't taking non-American pledges (big frown). Best I
could do was pre-order Firefly: The Game the minute I got the chance, which I did, and I
was so excited when it finally arrived in the mail that I instantly wanted to
play it - even though my friend, who was with me that day, had no knowledge of
the show, whatsoever. You can probably imagine how well that went...
