Fun fact:
Rod actually snuck in a stamina bar for the single-player campaign in Gears of War 1 on a monday while I attended an event out of town.
Very strange concept, wasn’t a fan but that’s why you can’t run forever in Gears 1 campaign.

We can’t run from our problems forever, that’s for sure. We gotta face them some times.

Yes, exactly Nina.
When those of us at Epic played Gears and constantly had Gnashers in our faces, ruining our day, we decided to face the problem head on.
Instead of running, we punished those who were able to play that way by incorporating many new methods of stopping Gnasher play.
Then, if you complained,we told you to “adapt”. We were proud of how we handled that mess.

Rod actually personally wired the dedicated servers using a stratagem overcapcitator and ran his litmus ejection facilitator absorbent into the mainframe of the HDD A/V Aux using a little elbow grease and some mind-work by yours truly.
It’s the reason Gears 2 ran impeccable and Gears 3 onwards was smooth sailing.
I believe he used the same transitory approach to mitigate ping on Gears 4 and Gears 5.
You’re most welcome Niles.

Hi Clff.
how’s everything going , I just wanted to tell you THANKS for creating Gears of War specially 3 , its the best shooter game ever.
In my list of BEST GAMES IN THE WORLD I have put Gears 3 in third place as I show here in this list:
- CHESS
- ORI AND THE WILL OF THE WISPS
- Gears of War 3 .
I really hope Microsoft can give you a job on the Coalition and you could create something better than Gears 5 , that without a doubt I know you will do.
Thanks for you creativity and Passion.
I wonder on a 1 to 10 scale how dumb he thinks the terminator being in gears of war is
It was his idea
If the next gears doesn’t announce that everything that happened in gears 5 was one of kaits stupid nightmares and the the cast of 6 is the entire Carmine Clan and Dizzy then I’m done.

I despise card games of any kind ever since Rod borrowed my Blue Eyes White Dragon during that sleepover and never returned it.
He says he didn’t take it but I don’t believe him.
Stay tuned for amazing news Denzel, its fans like you that keep pushing me to release hit after hit. I appreciate your support and your money. Continue to invest in my dreams and maybe one day you can dream big like me.
I think it’s fantastic but I would have gone with Predator. Maybe a Gears vs MK crossover was in the works?

of course Cliff you can’t take as much money as you like from me… just keep releasing SMASHING AWARD WINNING TITLES like Gears of War 3, and you can count with my support everytime man .
I love my life, I leave the big dreams with you man … you’re a master on the craft .
One question do you agree with me that Gears 5 its a human monstruosity in every level ?
The number of elbows being thrown around in Gears 2 PvP I think it was the official MK crossover

I think Gears 5 is a good game with a solid foundation that lacks a soul. It doesn’t have that catchy tagline like “bigger, badder, more badasserist”
It also doesn’t have a genius behind the wheel.
Rod was the nerd of the studio back at Epic. I put out Dude Huge energy that no one can emulate. Theres a reason my shirts were always extra tight – I was swole with gains.
Then I went on to gain money through oculus rift, a move no one anticipated.
Rod and I are best friends but let’s face it, I’m Cliffy B. Dude Huge the one.
The two-piece was a valid strategy.
I personally did the animations through mocapping for the elbows myself.

Your last name sounds like an Eastern European pastry.
That’s because women refer to me as a snacc and I’m a total delight.
