Actual paper magazine Paste pinged us with a feature on Gears of War mastermind CliffyB. I hadn't seen the mag before (looks good), and apparently it's drafted in writers like our own often AWOL, but dear Alice Taylor and Joystiq's Kyle Orland. The CliffyB piece has some nice quotes, including this doozy:
We make games about guns because making games about talking is hard and not interesting yet. The basis of interaction is, 'what is the easiest way I can touch this environment?' And when you're using your gun, you're touching everything.
Deep. And yet, kinda pervy.
