Why Robin Makes Batman Better “Game executive”, “former baseball star”, take your pick, whichever one you choose, it’s the same guy – Curt Schilling – and he’s looking at running for the Senate seat left vacant following Ted Kennedy’s passing.
Troubled real-time strategy and role-playing developer Big Huge Games lives on, with Curt Schilling’s 38 Studios stepping up at the last moment for a late game save.
Pitcher Curt Schilling has announced he’s retiring from Major League Baseball. During his career, Schilling posted a win-loss record of 216-146 and chalked up 3,116 strikeouts.
Curt Schilling’s 38 Studios has just added two new players to its lineup of award-winning game talent, snagging a composer from EA and an interface designer from Blizzard to work on their R. A. Salvatore meets Todd McFarlane MMO project. Most notable of the two new additions is audio pioneer Aubrey Hodges, who was one of the first sound designers to use MIDI in a video game. His work spans the history of the industry, from the King’s Quest series to Doom, Quake, and Madden NFL, most recently serving as an audio director with EA Tiburon.

Jace Hall’s next show is going to include an interview with Red Sox pitcher and MMO addict Curt Schilling along with an early look at Schilling’s massively multiplayer game Copernicus. The actual show hits on Thursday. In the meantime hit the jump to listen to the catchy extended-version of the Jace Hall theme song. It has head-lopping and base capturing!
The Wall Street Journal today examines Peter Moore’s new role at Electronic Arts Sports, talking to the new division’s new president about how he plans to reinvigorate EA Sports after its first drop in sales in at least seven years.
In it he talks about a lot of the usual things and mentions, in passing, that he plans to announce to analysts today the extension of the NFL contract that I talked with Moore about last night. Moore says the company also recently struck a deal with IMG Worldwide, the New York-based sports-management and entertainment company that represents a slew of top athletes, including Tiger Woods. EA hopes to use this to one day put the EA Sports brand on a “variety of consumer products and services, from soccer balls to tennis camps for kids” in the same way that ESPN now shows up on restaurants and a magazine.
Veteran baseball star Curt Schilling is nearing the end of his career. Unlike other baseball stars, however, he won’t be retiring to a life of broadcasting, coaching and/or Senate steroid inquiries. No, he’s going to retire at the end of next season to work on Copernicus, an MMO currently in development at Schilling’s own 38 Studios. And he’s not fucking around: This is my life after baseball. After baseball, I will do nothing except be a father, husband, and run this company.
While Copernicus (a working title) will be occupying his time for the next few years, Schilling also stated he’d love to be “intimately involved in making a baseball game…I will be a part of a company doing a sports game”. You can’t say the man does not have a plan. Star pitcher trading baseballs for video games [CNN][Image]
