Cliffy B parody gets stomped on by Epic and Twitter photo

If you're anything like me, you enjoyed the frequent updates that came via "Cliffy B's" Twitter, as he'd recount stories of bench pressing employees, Cliffy-Punching Mark Rein, and having topiaries of himself crafted by master artists. Some of the stuff that this fake Cliffy came out with was ludicrously funny, but according to Twitter and Epic, funny can only be permitted for so long.

The Cliffy_B Twitter is now an empty shell, while the former impostor must now continue as "Fake Cliffy." Of course, the magic of the moment is gone now, and that's a real shame. That said, the last proper entry probably wasn't looked upon too kindly:

"After much testing, it looks like matchmaking is permanently broken. There are new maps though, only 800 Microsoft Points!"

I can't see Epic being happy with "Cliffy B" saying something like that. Still, it's a real shame that it had to go since it was probably my favorite thing to see on Twitter. Now I have to put up with Nick Chester's ten billion updates on his Rock Band progress. 

While you're checking Twitter out, be sure to add Destructoid. Oh, and have mine too. Just because I'm self-interested like that.

Once again, Epic is paying attention to everything except fixing Gears.

Also, if CliffyB wants people to stop making fun of him then he should stop running his own mouth.

By far the highlight of Jim Sterling's Twitter was when he was giving play by play updates on his kidney stones

Jonathan Ross:

It wasn't kidney stones in the end. just some sort of kidney/bladder infection. The scan to determine the exact cause coincided with the day I flew to the States though, so I never caught the source of the trouble.

Still, that bitch hurt like a motherfucker.

@kohelhunter: yeah, I'd much prefer someone more "hip" and "in-touch" with this generation. Market testing shows I prefer LLCoolJ. *rolls eyes*

@ Jim Sterling,

Maybe it was a UTI (urinary tract infection -- yes, any man can get them as well)? Nothing like taking Cipro to make your pee orange!

Twitter have said its not allowed unless its parody. So, it seems Epic and Twitter acknowledge this is CliffyB as is, not true parody.
