Run Away! Todd McFarlane's Involved With Another Game!
Todd McFarlane's track record with video games is... well, let's not mince words. It's lame at best, gut-wrenchingly awful at worst. If you think I'm being overly harsh, then shut your pie hole: I suffered through Spawn: The Eternal. When you have performed that Herculean task, then you can debate me if you still believe I'm in the wrong. But, anyway, McFarlane is once again throwing his hand into the gaming ring and teaming up with acclaimed authour R.A. Salvatore (coolness) and Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling (wait... what?) to develop an MMO. Schilling's company, 38 Studios, is set to be the game's developer. However, Todd recently explained that this isn't going to be a game based around his art, and instead it's going to be (gasp!) a good title instead:
This isn't about an R.A. story, or Todd artwork. This is about — is this, at the end of the day, going to be a cool game to play? And if the answer is yes, then we all did our jobs and there will be plenty of pats on the back to go around for everybody. Matter of fact, if people think it's a Todd art game, then I've done my job wrong.

All you have to say is "one of his past games was featured on Broken PIxels."
This is the dumbest idea in gaming EVER.
And I include the Virtual Boy and the PS3 marketing in this list.
kinda wish he was there to say "Oh my toy design team is working on the game." Because Ashley Wood was an artist who worked for Todd McFarlane.
