Here’s a nice piece the WaPo did on us – featuring a “Godfather Shot” picture of Mark, Jeff, Paul and me.

Curt Schilling digs our game.

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.

We’re on the MMO Report!  

We just got back.  We had a steady flow of people the entire hour, which was great.  What did you miss if you failed to come? 

- Autographs from Mark, Jeff, Paul and I.  

- Autographed posters. 

- WAR stickers. 

- WAR shirts.

- Codes for the exclusive Skaven Cloak that’s been all the rage with the Cool Kids in WAR for everyone who brought a CE or standard copy of the game to get signed. 

- If you were REALLY lucky – pirate cookies.  

Thanks to everyone who showed up! 

Moments ago, we got word that RvR team lead Jeff Skalski just welcomed his new son – Kaya – into the world!  JUUUUST under the wire to get him into the WAR baby credits. 

Congrats, Jeff!
