Today marks a sad day for gaming journalists as we're forced to learn the proper spelling of Gears of War 2 lead designer Cliff
It's "time to grow up a bit," Cliff wrote in a note stating the nickname doesn't suit his 30-something lifestyle and that he's more focused on working to perfect Gears of War 2 and doesn't have time for silly nicknames. At least nicknames he'll publicly endorse.
Pour one out for CliffyB folks, it was a wild ride.

Agreed, I never liked the guy, he pisses me off. What pisses me off more is when I hear "CliffyB," it makes me want to slit throats. Thank god for violent video games though, otherwise I'd have to start killing people.

Yeah dude, no shit. He's got all of these important deadlines and 30-something lifestyle decisions (Diamond stud earrings or hoops today? Do I wear gel in my hair or just grab a hat?)...
yet he finds time to make this ever important pronouncement.
What a turd-burglar.

So, for Gears 1 we had CliffyB, and for Gears 2 we have Cliff Bleszinski...... I'm calling it now, by the time Gears 3 comes out we'll be referring to him as Clifford Upperbottom Bleszinski of the East Hampton Bleszinskis.

Dear Mike,
Your comment contains 50% LOL, 50% win, and 50% PURE AWESOME (Yes, that's 150%), and the internet is a better place because of it.
Some people build great monuments and sculptures to leave their mark on the world, you sir have crafted pure win out of mere digital bytes. I salute you and your kind for all ages.

@jaybird1905:
I bet that your real name is: "Clifford Upperbottom Bleszinski of the East Hampton Bleszinskis", that's why you don't find it funny.

I'm sure he's wiping his tears on wads of $100 bills right now.

Yes im sure he is looking around all the gaming news sites to see what people think of him and what his reputation is like. Like in that one episode of family guy when it was still good where Luke Perry was infuriated for a high school newspaper article stating he was gay.

All the money in the world doesn't erase the fact that he's an ego-centric douche nozzle.

Nice, got a douche in before the fourth comment. Now can we get a "fag" in before this thread is done? Cliff'll think we're slipping.

@Etchasketchist
I think my use of "douche nozzle" was acceptable and fitting.
"1. douche-nozzle
One who is worse than your normal douche-bag.
That dumbass frat boy with his popped collar, gelled hair, and 2 polo shirts is a douche-nozzle. "
