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.

The same thing that Screech tried to do but as we know the first thing you think when you see his MUG is Screech.

Stories don't kill people. People with chainsaws attached to their guns kill people.

I personally think he is the more cooler and more awesome developers. He isnt like guys like Peter Moore and Denis Dyack even though they are cool too. He is more like Peter from Office Space. Doesn't try to look way professional. He likes to be trendy.

I do remember reading that it was now changed when the trailer came out. He also mentioned it on the Major Nelson podcast during an interview.
It's news to somebody! :)

maybe with his new name he should stop dressing like he's in his early 20s?

Sorry CliffyB, you don't get to pick your own nickname or when people stop using it. Just be glad you got a cool nickname unlike "booger" "McLovin" or "meathead".
