One of Life’s Simple Pleasures: Folllowing Cliffy B on Twitter

By Eric Wednesday November 12, 2008

I keep having this reoccurring dream where my future-self rides in on a badass bright red fire-unicorn and tells me how awesome I am. – November 2nd, Cliffy B

Really, it isn’t every day you get to listen to the rumblings of an influential video game director… unless you happen to use Twitter. We here at Geekadelphia have a Twitter account, and though it is often neglected, we like to Tweet out the occasional fun link that we don’t have time to post up.

Cliffy B, the man behind Jazz Jackrabbit, Gears of War, and Gears of War II, also happens to rock Twitter, sending out witty and often ridiculous updates…

Sometimes I catch a glimpse of myself while walking around Epic, and I start to cry at the beauty. If someone asks, I say my eye itches.

Sure, he’s making himself into something of a character, but I don’t care. (I do. CliffyB gets no dice. -bg)  I’ve got to thank Ben for sending me a link to Cliff’s Twitter account, because Cliffy B is a lot more fun to listen to than Rittenhouse Square.

    The New Yorker had a good piece on “Cliffy B” a couple issues ago:

    There’s a pretty arrogant and rude remark regarding the gaming media embedded in that New Yorker piece. Gotta love it when mainstream covers gaming.
