Oh, just fucking WONDERFUL. A show based on the most boring game ever made! Hurrah! SIGN MY ASS UP TO WATCH THAT, BABY! So, let me see, SF is axing Farscape, producing another series of the abysmal Lexx and a Myst series... Fuck, I thought my girlfriend leaving me was the worst news of the week.
Anybody want to bet that this is Cyan's attempt to wrest the "Most sold game ever" crown from the pointy heads of those irksome, lamer-than-Everquest Sims? Actually, it makes some kind of perverse sense. Cyan shits out a crappy, licensed show to push more copies of their horrible-horrible interactive slideshow (allegedly, some people called Myst a "game" I have no idea how anybody could confuse the two) into Wal-Mart electronics department aisles.

Yeah, and if the series is as exciting as the games are, it will serve as a great tool to kill yourself with boredom.
