Leonard Boyarsky joins Obsidian

[Bubbles]

It would also be awesome if Obsidian saved Chris Taylor from Interplay.
Boyarsky too, but I imagine he's doing quite well at Blizzard.

FeelTheRads We actually saw Leonard relatively recently, playing Skyshine's Bedlam with Tim Cain: http://www.rpgcodex.net/forums/index.php?threads/skyshines-bedlam-released.103516/

Wait what? Isn't Leonard employed at Blizzard?

 

[Infinitron]

He hasn't updated his Facebook or Linkedin profiles. Not sure what's going on.

Maybe Cain is moving to Blizzard.

 

[prodigydancer]

Well, Blizzard put him on Diablo 3 team and nothing emphasizes your sellout status like being assigned to a project that is, in essence, a huge cash grab. I'm sure the position is exceedingly lucrative but money isn't everything, is it?

 

[Prime Junta]

Maybe Cain is moving to Blizzard.

Pic is from Cain's old office though.

Maybe Blizzard bought Obsidian? Bright future for Diablo of Tanks.

In case you forgot:

Because if there is an engine that could showcase Leonard's brilliant artistic vision, its Gamebyro.

"Cock tease" tag needed.

 

[Flou]

So much cocktease that it is not even funny!

Anthony Davis TimCain So, when will Obsidian's Fallout: Angel's Boneyard be released?

 

[Infinitron]

According to Chris Avellone, never.

(it'd be darkly hilarious if he was wrong)

[Ninjerk]

A year ago I'd be hyped like fuck. Cautiously optimistic for now.

 

[Infinitron]

WE HAVE LIFTOFF

Works at Obsidian Entertainment, Inc.

 

[Bubbles]

Confirmed:

 

[Bubbles]

God, he worked longer at Blizzard than he worked at Troika...

 

[Multiple Sarcasm]

God, he worked longer at Blizzard than he worked at Troika...

And Blizzard still hasn't sunk. You had one job, Leonard.

 

[Jaesun]

Wow

 

[eric__s]

Arcanum 2 confirmed.

 

[Rev]

Great news, really. Maybe he'll join Tim Cain on his unannounced crowdfunding project hinted by Feargus and Anthony Davis...

 

[Roguey]

Well I was wrong, looks like Leonard has enough passion to choose the not-quite-following-your-dreams of Obsidian over the job security of Blizzard.

Obsidian's art direction on select titles will now improve.
