Bizarro World.
If you love baseball (and I’ve loved baseball for as long as I can remember), you know that Curt is The Man. This is a guy who occupies the most elite territory in professional sports – a dominant player with a truly storied career filled with championships and awards and on-field heroics.
I’ve been a Schilling fan since his early years playing for my beloved (if long-suffering) Orioles. He plays baseball the right way and is a blast to watch – one of the good guys you can just outright root for without reservation (well… unless he’s pitching AGAINST your team, that is). He’s one of the people in sports that I can legitimately say I’m an unabashed fan of.
So there’s just something surreal about him even being AWARE of the game I’ve worked on, to say nothing of being a fan. It’s a good surreal, to be sure, but it’s still a truly unique experience to have one of your heroes digging the work you’ve done.
How cool is THAT?
Curt’s studio has a Top Secret MMO in the works at the moment and I think I can speak for everyone at Mythic when I say we’re all excited and more than a little curious about what his team’s cooking up. He said it really well himself:
Every company that raises the bar in the MMO space only adds customers, that’s a good thing. Not to mention the bar for what’s acceptable gets raised a little higher for anyone following, and that’s a great thing.
Yes, indeed.
