Quantcast



We caught up with Epic Games' Cliff Bleszinski at a Microsoft function during Comic-con. Well, it wasn't as much "catching up" as it was an impromptu interview. You see, we had an interview scheduled for the next day, but he had some other things come up. That's okay, we found time to talk about Gears of War 2's newest DLC, Dark Corners anyway. You know, tons of new maps and more single player gameplay -- all that. It has dropped on XBLA for 1,200 Microsoft points. Check it all out in the video below.

I tried to call Cliff out on our interview cancellation, as you'll see in the video. He said that he prefers Kotaku over us as his defense. I do too. Better cake coverage. Cliff, I know where you went that next day. I laughed heartily when a source informed me. I hope that one day I can get to a point where I can cancel my meetings for something like that!

From the Jo-Bros with love. <3

 
We love Cliffy B, Kotaku, and the Jonas Brothers. Really.

I can't decide if i love or hate his style. I don't know about gears, but Jazz Jackrabbit 2 gives him some credibility in my books. But to love or to hate?

Also 90 minutes? You could beat it in 10 tops with a friend.

Man, this guy is a cocky ass!!! Still funny, though.

I purchased the All Fronts collection for the co-op level and horde maps, and for $20 (which has to be 30% of my entire points spent on XBLM ever), it was a semi-decent purchase...

I'd like to see more campaign co-op missions, but they'd have to be twice as long and half the cost (sans mappacks) for me to really be interested in buying more.

Nice interview Dale. I thought you were gonna start if off with calling him out like you told us about, but I guess editing altered that.
By the way, it was good seeing you last week. Missed ya.

What a chode.

He needs a serious attitude adjustment and a colouring set for his game. Apparently all he's got in his crayon box is a wide variety of browns and greys.

Bleszinski wrong, you're not one of the Jonas Brothers... you're Storm Shadow, Dale.

Also, baby leopards 4 lyfe.

HAHAAHAH! I just put two and two together and figured out at what Dale was hinting at. I know what we should do the next time we run into Cliffy.

Does anyone else think CliffyB looks like Dane Cook?

Prefer Kotaku over Destructoid? That's not nice.

CliffyB! Go bug Tim Sweeney to find the ZZT source code so the community won't die. ZZT is a part of my life and I'll become an hero if you don't.

I actually heard some Jonas Brothers music recently, and I had to listen to over an hour of therapeutic Led Zeppelin to remove the massive suck of "Lovebug" from my memory.
