    IGN has spammed out the developer profile of Obsidian, the company which was founded by Feargus Urquhart, Chris Parker, Darren Monahan, Chris Avellone and Chris Jones, formerly from Black Isle Studios at Interplay, and has been working on Neverwinter Nights 2. Here's a little excerpt about how the name originated:

    The five friends decided to strike out on their own and create an entirely new company in June of 2003. The name Obsidian was selected after a brainstorming session at Chris Parker's house. He, Feargus and Darren Monahan had settled on three possible names: Three Clown Software, Scorched Earth and Obsidian. Of the three, the founders liked Obsidian the least, primarily because it seemed to evoke memories of Black Isle. Happily, they left the decision up to their wives and girlfriends. They unanimously choose Obsidian, mostly due to the fact that it was the only name that didn't sound like a crappy college band. By complete chance a three-pound chunk of obsidian was dug up in Chris Jones' yard three weeks later.

    I tend to agree with their women...
