i follow him on twitter just for cheap laughs. he regularly produces gems of colossal stupidity: Always said this, but, seriously, @elonmusk, why are brake lights digital when they should be analog? It drives me nuts and it makes no sense. If you slam on the brakes people can't tell. If you tap them, they assume the same. -- well, uh... maybe because that would make them hard to see in the daytime? maybe because people would start to ignore "softer" brake lights and be more likely to rear-end someone? maybe because they tried this idea in the 70s, with brake lights that blinked at a rate proportional to the brake amount, and people fucking hated it even more than they hate obnoxiously animated turn signals? fact: they called it: "cyber brakes" or something, i shit you not. cyber was as trendy as e-whatever was in the 90s and iWhatever was in the 00's but he also has his humble, introspective moments: More importantly I'm becoming exponentially more self aware, and caring about what really matters. Friends and family and experiences over "things." -- in summary, well, i'll let something awful summarize: |

anyone who has a twitter handle the realcliffyb must be an arsehole by definition |

he's pretty much richard patrick except he designed levels for late 90s video games instead of having a sparse string of hits |

yeah he is the guy behind gears of war? that game is seriously homoerotic, muscle steroid Übermensch running around penetrating each other with sharp objects |

just read some of his tweets he seems to have the mental age of a 15 year old |

well, hey, cliffyb designed the levels to jazz jackrabbit, i think, and that's where my avatar is from. then he also worked on the original unreal tournament, and, there, also good work. around this point, the internet, and forums started to be a thing. i recall he started some site "catscan" where people would scan a cat that had fallen asleep on the scanner. he blathered extensively on the site, was actually rather entertaining, but this was, i feel, ground zero for people hearing from him directly for the first time, and, well, he's a tit. am i using that word right? i had trouble picking one, so i went british in any case, people kind of knew him from the games, but at that point he began to garner a reputation as a bit of a tit. something awful caught wind of it and he became a recurring queer dandy in many of their flash cartoons. i forgot about him for a few years, and, hey, there he is on twitter, more or less unchanged if you separate the art from, ahem, the artist, he's been a reliably solid level designer for decades. however, this is not why one would follow him on twitter |

RIP to one of the GREATEST concept artists and visionaries to ever exist, Syd Mead. You inspired SO many generations of creatives, and it was an honor to see you speak once. The bit about the Sultan of Brunei's plane was AMAZING. This is one of those one that hurts. -- literally 50% generic praise, 50% playing up his single brief association with the departed |

Sometimes still blows my mind how many interesting people I know across multiple lines of work. -- i, er... how nice for you |

yeah a bit of a tit, not a horrible twat or anything, just mildly irritating, you probably wouldn't want to have a pint down the pub with him |

im being a bit unfair really I have no idea what he is actually like, cliffy b just sounds like someone who might be irritating |

this article is lol Bleszinski drove into Epic’s parking lot in a red Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder, the top down despite an impending rainstorm. His current haircut is short and cowlicked, his bangs twirled up into a tiny moussed horn. He was wearing what in my high school would have been called “exchange-student jeans”—obviously expensive but slightly the wrong color and of a somehow non-American cut. Beneath a tight, fashionably out-of-style black nylon jacket was a T-shirt that read “TECHNOLOGY!” His sunglasses were of the oversized, county-sheriff variety, and each of his earlobes held a small, bright diamond earring. He could have been either a boyish Dolce & Gabbana model or a small-town weed dealer. |

yeah a bit of a tit, not a horrible twat or anything, just mildly irritating, you probably wouldn't want to have a pint down the pub with him this goes directly back to my richard patrick analogy. in, like, 2010 or something, filter was opening for chevele, and chevele was opening up for bush, who would obviously play "machine head" at some point anyways, i'm going because my mates wanted to, i don't even have to drive or figure out tickets, why not. we naturally establish a moderate pocket of real estate by the bar and wait for things to start richard patrick takes the stage. "hey, boston, i bet you've never seen this before!" and then he proceeds to mash a power drill against his guitar for droning effects i remember thinking: why, yes, richard, i have seen this before. i saw this almost ten years ago, when some guy on ICQ sent me his song in which he'd used a power drill for drones. dave navarro used a vibrator on a red hot chili peppers song, for chrissake anyways, eventually, filter is over, and richard patrick shows up at the end of the bar. he starts shaking hands, working his way down towards us. shit, shit. i think. i don't want to talk to him. he'd be all "hey, was the power drill cool or what?" and i just might throw my drink at him thankfully, he found enough fan sunlight that his progress down the bar halted a mere two or three chaps away but, you know, "hey man nice shot" is a good song and i can enjoy it still despite all this cliffyb has at least continued to make successful things, i'll cop to going a bit far comparing him to richard patrick. but, you know, the vector has the same heading but for a lesser magnitude |
