FiringSquad chats with Stray Bullet Studios' Sean Dahlberg about the new game development studio in charge of the long running MMORPG Shadowbane as well as other upcoming projects. You can check out the interview right here (http://www.firingsquad.com/news/newsarticle.asp?searchid=11318): Here is a snip:
FiringSquad: How did the name of the company itself come about?

Sean Dahlberg: It's probably exactly what you are thinking. In this industry, sometimes no matter how well your project is going or how well the team is working together, factors outside your control turn things upside down from out of nowhere. Like a Stray Bullet. Frank, our VP of Product Development and COO, found it fitting that the studio take a name resonant with the events that helped birth it.

I lol'd at your reply. Pretty much what I thought when I heard his response.

...Someone should tell them that Shadowbane is one of the worst, and most over-hyped games, ever.

Hell no. The "Shadowbane Chronical" as I like to call the whole fiasco, was the most entertaining thing on the net for a long time.

Shadowbane was one of the best MMORPGs for PvP for a good three months after it released.

You got to build entire cities, and then go crush other people's cities where they spent countless hours working up the resources to build.

The only problem was the end game content, after you've joined the server's main alliance, was non-existant.

Still, I remember Shadowbane as the place I met some of the best gamers I've ever played with. A small group of us on Ventrillo could wipe out groups much larger than our selves of equal level. That was some quality PvP.
