CliffyB Talks After Finishing Gears 48
Next Generation is carrying an interview with Epic Designer Cliffy Bleszinksi, where he discusses shooters in the next-gen era, what it's like to work with Microsoft, and how it feels to wrap up Gears of War. From the article: "As a designer I don't know if it's ever possible to be fully satisfied but my gut tells me, 'yes'. I sit down and I play the game and I have a blast with it, whether it be single player versus or co-op. I mean, co-op's especially bad. I feel like I'm seeing the whole experience completely new. It's like, if you ever see a cool movie and you bring a friend to see it who hadn't seen the movie yet, right? It's that shared experience, that makes co-op so great."
Greatly bad. (Score:3, Funny)
So, is it "great" or is it "bad"? WTF?

But in that case it was actually true! Kind of like saying, "I love E.T. on the Atari 2600. It's so bad."

I'm in the midwest, which is notorious for catching on to trends later than the coasts and then hanging on to them longer, and this went out of style here around the same time that "rad" and "gnarly" fell out of use.

Either way, my fellow players insist that I be in front. Apparently, they don't like being shot in the back. It's not my fault they're in my way!

In Safari 2.0.4 on the Mac, it seems to work, but I closed it because it seems insistent that it, rather than I, am the best judge of the dimensions of my web browser.
Does the same damn thing in Firefox.
This was a game for which I actually considered breaking down and getting a 360 because it looked completely bitchin'. Fuck 'em. I'll wait for Halo 3.

Cliify B does talk up a good game, but from the videos I've seen of his game he's hitting the marks. The AI in the game in intense. The cover is well done (something many games seem to screw up... Perfect Dark Zero).
Let's not go sling mud around about how crappy the game is until you actually play the game. Daikatana looked like a great game until we actually played it and saw the frogs of death, the water of doom, and the bees of mildly annoyance.

I know it's not recommended to feed the trolls, but I can't help myself.
I just wanted to say that your comments about CliffyB are entirely inaccurate. He's the nicest guy I have ever met at any show ever; I met him at E3 (he was dressed in a pimptabulous red suit) and he actually took half an hour of his time to talk to me. Please note that I am a complete dork and had nothing to offer him - I do not work in the games industry and am not a media persion. Cliff just took the time to talk to me as a human being and fellow fan. The man is a gamer's gamer who enjoys just about every genre and is totally enthusiastic about making games. He's worked hard, made his own 2d platformer, been a level designer, and clawed his way up to a lead design position. All without any stupid smack talk or any of the other bombastic crap that "gaming celebrities" engage in.
I think CliffyB is pretty cool and if his game is good (and I don't see why it shouldn't be; the man "gets" games) then I hope it meets with a lot of success.

I don't know if that's something you want to say.... The first time I watched Pirates of the Carribean 2, my friend (who saw it once before watching it with me) almost fell asleep. A month or two later I saw it again with a friend that never saw the movie and I nearly fell asleep.

Seriously if someone took me to see one of those movies having already seen it themselves, they've have to do something substantial to reclaim their friendship... friends don't take friends to see Pirates of the Caribbean.
