Cliffyb Name Dropping

Fact: Cliffyb has never created a compelling story.
Fact: Cliffyb has never hired a team of writers who have created a compelling story.
Fact: The story in Gears of War sucks.

But listen to Cliffyb talk smack and name-drop:

• Gears of War creator CliffyB has spoken of the influence of JRR Tolkien's work on his tip-top shooter in an interview with PC Zone magazine. "We wanted the Locust to be intelligent savages; they're like the Uruk-hai in LOTR, only with guns", the Epic man said when asked about the game's enemies.

Awesome--Gears of War is just like Lord of The Rings now. That means the movie will be great. Awesome.

Awesome--"Gears of the Rings."

Fanboys can fake associations with classic culture all they want, but none can hold a candle to J.R.R. Tolkien, nor the epic movies, which were based on stories.

Gears of War Movie Gets Euthanized

Even with millions of fanboys, and hundreds of millions in free publicity, video games fail as movies.

This is because Mark Rein/Wyck Godfrey and CliffyB are too arrogant to humble themselves before Epic Story.
