I think a more appropriate title for him would now be Master Chief. Epic crapped on the PC community too many times and Cliff likes to make us all out to be game thieves. I think the fake Cliffy did a wonderful job capturing the real Cliffy's over inflated ego. Does anyone know if Epic will give me a refund for Unreal Tournament III?

THEY EXPLAIN EVERYTHING THAT WOULDN'T OR COULDN'T MAKE SENSE OTHERWISE. Me? I didn't play it, but two friends of mine are ardent fans of the series, and have told me the whole story time and time again. Even they joke about the nanomachine thing. And I suggest you take your own advice, Mr. "cinimatic". Cinematic does not necessarily mean "good". It just means that the storyline fits well or is well enough portrayed to be a film. You speak of reading Comp., but obvious joking aside, the author of this article has a big point on Game Journalism, yet you dismiss it as "grandstanding". @DLZ:
