If you follow Destructoid regularly or know anything about me, you will understand how godamn excited I must have been for this interview. I make no apologies for what you are about to watch but I do warn you that I drop the F-bomb a fair few times.
If you are a fan of Gears of War then really do need to watch this interview. Not only do we have an in-depth discussion about the story, we chat about the new changes to Horde mode, the community response to the open beta, which characters may or may not be getting killed off, and at one point, Cliffy B even decided to ask me a few questions.
Hollie Bennett is Destructoid's UK Community Manager and video producer/personality. She also the host of our British podcast, models, and will totally drink you under the table boys.

Let me add or subtract from that last statement. If I were a woman I'd want him too. I'm a dude and I still kind of want him. He seems like a really intelligent and laid back guy. I guess that might have a certain amount of gravity to it it. Either that or he's in good shape and dresses well enough.
People cried at MAria's death? But... it was so hamfisted. Not to mention the complete lack of empathy for Dom, what with the complete lack of fleshing out his character. Hell, I feel like I know Baird better than Dom, just from his mannerisms and snarky comments etc.
PROTIP for developers: You can't make someone care about a character just by telling them they do. That's not how emotions work.
Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?
Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!

He's all like "what the fu--has she been smoking with Ice T?"
Hey, Max. You brought beef, Cliff brought the ruckus. Because it's obivious that Epic Games ain't nothin to fuck with.
P.S. so jelly.
I never got the Cliffy B hate. In every interview he seems pretty down to earth.
I wonder if he waxes his chest.
