How to Take Down Soulja Boy
Yeah, we've really shown the Totilo love round here, but he accepted Soulja Boy's month-old call-out to face him online, and the advice from Cliffy B and Bungie is too priceless not to share. -

'CliffyB' on How to Save Game Journalism
The blog Hardcasual is back with a bang after a lengthy hiatus, channeling the voice of Cliff Bleszinski of Epic Games (which, if you can't parse that statement, means Bleszinski didn't actually write this) to discuss some of the current problem with game journalism and reviews. More » -

Epic Didn't Want A Gears of War 2 Beta "Popping" Its "Cherry"
Gears of War 2 designer Cliff "D.H." Bleszinski is concerned about the sanctity of his latest gore-filled shoot 'em up. He doesn't want a bunch of dudes nailing his baby girl, turning his little lady into worn-out damaged goods as millions of Xbox 360 owners clumsily penetrate her, robbing Epic's latest of its virginity. Wait, what? Mr. B explains to GamePro exactly why he doesn't want you going near his girl with a raging beta-on. More » -

Chocolate Rein Gets The Cliffster Back On-Message Re: PC Gaming
Oh no, Cliffy, you so did not just say PC gaming was in disarray. How could you? Epic and PC gaming are tight, and you've even signed up to PC gaming's very own super friends! Time for Mark Rein to step in and set the record - and your message - straight. Speaking with MTV, the pair said:MR: We want all these people buying laptops and reasonably priced PCs, to at least be able to be exposed to gaming. They can go out later and upgrade to something better, but let's at least give them a baseline experience."

Epic (And The Cliffster) Focusing On Consoles Because PC Gaming Is "In Disarray"
MTV's Stephen Totilo caught up with Cliffy B yesterday, and, you know, they talked about Portal, and Gears, and other stuff the Cliffster was or wasn't into these days. It's a great read, if only because it's nice hearing from the guy again (Mark, we love you, but a man can't survive solely on Chocolate Rein)! The best part, though, is where Clifford (pictured, above, rockin' the Cary Elwes look) breaks the hearts of PC gamers the world over:I think people would rather make a game that sells 4.5 million copies than a million and "Gears" is at 4.5 million right now on the 360. I think the PC is just in disarray... what's driving the PC right now is 'Sims'-type games and 'WoW' and a lot of stuff that's in a web-based interface. You just click on it and play it. That's the direction PC is evolving into. So for me, the PC is kind of the secondary part of what we're doing. It's important for us, but right now making AAA games on consoles is where we're at.
You can't blame a man for wanting to make some cash money, would you? I can't. Those gold chains don't buy themselves, yo. More » -

Cliffy Goes To Hollywood, Talks Gears Movie Rating
During the same media open house that brought you our recent Gears of War feature, Cliffy B. spoke more about the coming Gears of War movie, and more specifically, why the film needs an 'R' rating to work.My concern is that Hollywood has this love-hate relationship with rated R movies. They go through phases where they're convinced that they can't make a rated R movie that will sell well because it will cut out that whole audience. But any time a new Saw movie or a 300 comes along, it proves them wrong.

Cliffy B Talks Gears of the Rings
Freakin' LOTR. I thought that pop culture had finally overcome the overrated madness of the overrated movies based upon overrated books. But it's inescapable. Take a stew-eating, pure diesel, sci-fi future, manly man game like Gears of War—it seems completely free of of stupid ring fantasies. That doesn't sound like LOTR at all, right Cliffy B?We wanted the Locust to be intelligent savages; they're like the Uruk-hai in LOTR, only with guns...The Uruk-hai would organise themselves, line up and then storm in - even though they look like horrible monsters. That's what the Locust essentially are...
Freakin' LOTR with guns? Did you really have to ruin it for me, Cliffy? Did you?? More » -

Miyamoto Not Digging Haze's Drugs
Haze is one of the titles that really benefited from their E3 showing, getting a lot of positive buzz at the show. But Miyamoto wasn't digging it, as pointed out in this month's Edge magazine:"Cliffy B dropped by to see Haze...He liked the drugs and the violence. Mr. Miyamoto dropped by to see Haze - and he didn't.
If it makes the Haze crew feel any better, they should just remember that if Miyamoto were making drug-heavy FPSs, they'd all be out of work. Violent, drug-heavy sidescrollers where magical mushrooms can cause hallucinations of super powers—that's Miyamoto's territory. More » -

Cliffy B, More Than Just A 40 Foot Hard-On
We teased this interview with Gears of War designer Cliff Bleszinski last week, but the full Q&A is now available for your daily dose of Cliffy. In it, Cliffy not only brings up his massive Chantal-satisfying extremity, but flexes his talent for exaggeration. He says he's got some 8 million different intellectual properties running around his noodle and threatens to stab interviewer Andy Robinson in the eye with a pencil. More » -

Gears Of War Gets Glitchy
Ew. Let's hope this is just a one-off, as reader Ozhan gave us exactly this much information about his GoW wonkiness: "Skipping error on GOW; ruined the game!" Really? RUINED? But everyone seems to love it. Anyone else seen this? We've heard no other reports of Cliffy B and company's mega-hit acting up on us. -

The Hunks of Gears of War
IGN has updated its Gears of War info with bios on the beefcake you'll be playing with when Epic's over-the-shoulder shooter hits this fall. They profile five soldiers from the Coalition of Organized Governments. That's COG. COG. From Gears of War. *Sigh*. Anyway, the following insight into the hunky, war-weary boy-toy above reads: More »
