Gamasutra is reporting on the creation of a new games studio called Green Monster Games, founded by, of all people, Curt Schilling, a pitcher for the Boston Red Sox. Assisting him are Todd McFarlane (creator of Spawn) and fantasy/sci-fi author R.A. Salvatore. Apparently, Schilling already owns a small paper-gaming company. That’s it. I just thought it was an interesting group of founders.

Star Wars, Burgers, and MMOs
Thursday, August 14th
Star Wars has a long history in the MMO genre. I’m not actually sure what the first Star Wars MMO was, but there were/are multiple Star Wars-themed text-based MMOs (also called MUDs for those of you just tuning in) going back to the early 90s. In 2003, of course, Star Wars: Galaxies was released and […]
Senile or Hypocritical - You make the call

“In the 21st century, nations don’t invade other nations.” - John McCain. Just the kind of guy this country needs as its next President: Someone either so senile he forgets that his own nation has already invaded two countries in the 21st century, or someone so hypocritically arrogant as to believe that such statements shouldn’t apply […]
World of Philosophyquestscape: Clash of the Paradigms

Massively posted a question asking what IP and what developers people would love to see team up together. Scanning the initial answers in the thread, most are what you’d expect: stuff like Mechwarrior (awesome), GI Joe (lame), Dragonriders of Pern (probably awesome, but I’m not a personal fan). My favorite suggestion is definitely that Raph […]
I Want A Lightsaber, Damn It

Not happening anytime soon, of course, but this is surely the next best thing. In brief: It’s an add-on to the Wiimote that will allow for nearly 1:1 motion. Sword/lightsaber fighting ahoy! Despite my general lack of excitement over the Wii, this announcement has definitely perked me up regarding the little white box.

I find this very interesting myself. I wouldn’t have even known had I not taken a look at your blog here.
I wonder what kind of strange things they will come up with? Perhaps creating a demon baseball team going up against a team of dark elves, headed by the mighty Drizzt Do’Urden! Yes!
It shall determine the fate of the world, this baseball season! Also, we have a team of dwarves, along with a team of lizard men! Don’t forget that Hell’s baseball team, headed by Spawn himself!
Yea, I am strange. Ah well

I have to agree that this is a strange set of founders. But you also have to understand that Todd McFarlane is a great artist, R.A Salvatore is a great writer (my personal favorite) and Curt Shilling is a huge fan of EverQuest II. They are also teamed up with Sony Online Entertainment, so I can see a massively multiplayer online game coming out of this new studio.
