And they eat babies!

I don't know whether there're a lot of you who've friended me but not antikythera, but here's MIT media studies professor Henry Jenkins debunking gamer myths.

Last year I had somewhere to go

I see the annual NaNoWriMo buzz is starting up, but will there be NaDruWriNi again?

In a comment on the message board at whedonesque.com Joss Whedon has categorically denied that any Serenity sequel is in the works. He states that recent sightings of him in the company of Firefly cast members are because they're pals, which suggests to me that he's merely denying that there'll ever be a movie sequel, so hope remains for the comics sequels I've always postulated as a likely Plan B.

He also confirms that the reason Spike ran off to deepest Africa at the end of BVS season six was that Marsters was up for the part of Mordred Shinzon in Star Trek: Nemesis. Since I've always believed that Spike was resouled in order to participate in plotlines that had been conceived for Angel before Angel got spun off, the revelation that Marsters may not have been available for season seven gives me two never-weres to wish I'd seen: Marsters as Shinzon and greater Angel crossover in season seven.

In other news, I seem to have eschewed my previous "roundup" entry style for short subjects in favor of just posting when I have the hell something to say.
