Is Cliff Blezinsky a complete tool?

http://youtube.com/watch?v=cwpWLDRVfZM

i can't help but feel that this grown-up is still starved of attention and respect he never got in middle school. i think i finally get why the gears character is such a brooding, ridiculous-looking muscle man; he's the embodiment of everything "cliffy b" thinks he is. it's like he takes notes from the same crowd of douchebags that he sees on infomercials, and then practices his moves in front of his mirror. he may make great games, but he fails hard as soon as he tries to put his newfound confidence in something that doesn't involve designing videogames, which are in my honest opinion, just as shallow as he is.

Jealous much?

Hey, we are all humans with plenty of idiosyncracies.

Either way, make a good game, a good movie, good music, and I'll judge your work, not you. (Unless he's just the scum of the earth.)

I didn't think the GDC speech was bad (kind of funny, actually) but the montage of weird facial expressions and manerisms was pretty funny. It seemed like he was on drugs, maybe too much red bull?

Anyways, this guy comes across as cocky but who wouldn't be - GeOW is a huge success and it seems like Cliff really got the spotlight this time.

Ha thats the best. I think you're spot on.

wth are up with his earings

if he's going to wear them, might as well get teh diamond studs

The first video was a hokey yawn inspiring PR stunt , but the second video was just disturbing. That creeped me out. I think we have found the next Derek Zoolander.

He has an ego, yes. But it is hard to argue with the games that he and his team are responsible for.SpruceCaboose

Meh i dont care as long as he makes good gamesEPaul

Well, that's the point: he DOESN'T make any...

It was pretty funny how Mark Rein called him an idiot, although jokingly, and how he doesn't know what he's saying.

For Cliff's sake, GeOW needs to tank to take his ego down a bit.

id rather have Cliffy making the game, than some old guy having no idea what cool is.

Cliffy knows whats cool.

Cliffy knows what is cool.

Yeah, Cliff is a t0t@l b@d@$$!!!!!

Seriously though, Cliff tries way too hard to be cool.

He is the reincarnation of John Romero.cobrax25

Cliffy's Lamborghini Gallardo begs to differ...67gt500

that just enforces his statement, nice try

He is this decade's Romero :)AdrianWerner

Gears got GOTY at Gamespot. :D

No that completely proves his point.

You can be the best in your field, and that still doesent mean your not a tool..... With a massive chip on your shoulder or overwhelming ego.

By the first video I got the idea that he's just insecure and overdoes it a bit because of that ..then I watched the second video. :/ And yes, the words "a complete tool" and "Zoolander" did come to mind.EntwineX

Whats "Zoolander" ?

My friend Zoolander is one of the funniest movies i have seen, go rent it out right now.

Humm.... let me think... the guy is in his late 20's, is having a blast in life, has tons of money, and got it all by getting using his brains, getting an education and doing something that he loved to start with (video games).

Oh yea... hes a tool... :roll:

Way to knock a guy that has the talent and drive to get somewere in life.

You dont get anywere in life sitting on your ass waiting for Obama or Clinton to come and give you a free check to school and some free insurance... If you want to be successfull in life, no matter what you like to do, you have to work hard and earn it.

You can even be a dork.

When I think of GoW and its cover system, it always reminds me of this game.

Actually he has played a very large part in the Unreal Series as well. Don't know what you mean by "well established". He's been around long before the frikkin xbox 360.

He's funny, like people before me said he's the reincarnation of John Romero and he just doesn't know how to shut up. He's probably going to end up selling hamburgers aswell.

Quake 1 was 1996 GOTY runner-up :)

You're just jealous of his hair. Don't pretend you're not.flatline711

Yes its true.....i am ("Sniff") the git i bet he has a fit bird and he has a decent job! Shame he acts like a bit of a prat but this is TV maybe its an act but i dunno man i can see him being a FUNNY guy all the time i usually end up fighting people like that.

Cliffy B is my main man. Without a doubt he is the coolest Game Developer ever. I would never turn down the chance to go clubbing with the guy he isn't only good at what he does hes a FUN guy. BTW thanks for the 2nd link it was awesome made me like him even more. Hell if he was gay I may have consider it. I CANT TAKE IT NO MORE MY ARMPITS SMELL LIKE GARLIC!!!Antikyth3ra

wowza.........
