Gears of War 2 Designer Ask For Tubgirl, Gets Tubgirl

8:00PM Brian Ashcraft | You ask, and you receive. Last spring, when faceplate creator extraordinaire SpaceGhost2K attended a Microsoft Spring Showcase in San Francisco, Gears of War’s Dude Huge, AKA the game designer formerly known as CliffyB, told SpaceGhost2K he liked his custom faceplates and jokingly (we think? we hope?) put in a request: TubgIrl. SpaceGhost2K agreed and created a Tubgirl faceplate, which he gave to DH at the Gears 2 launch. Hit the jump for an uncensored version. It’s anime-style, but should still be stomach churning to those who haven’t erased the original image from their brains. Note: New to the internet and unfamiliar with Tubgirl? Check out this text only Wiki entry. Anyone who posts or links the actual picture in the comments section will get cozy with the brunt end of the Banhammer. More »

Dude Huge Wants Clive Owen Type

11:00PM Brian Ashcraft | …For the Gears of War movie. Instead of the obvious muscle-bound “wrestler type” for character Marcus Phenix, Gears of War designer Dude Huge prefers muscle-bound thespian. “You know…like a Clive Owen type; somebody who can actually act and is incredibly charismatic,” says Huge. “And they can put him on a workout plan for six months so he can build the muscle mass he needs.” If that doesn’t work, Hollywood can inject him with needles to make him grow muscles!

This Is What It Sounds Like When Dude Huge Cries

6:30PM Luke Plunkett | You know Dude Huge likes the Lancers. The blood, the gravelly voices, the destroyed beauty. But do you know what he likes to listen to? What he kicks his feet up to after a hard day’s puppy eating/Larry Hryb chainsawing/developing? Let’s find out! The Dude’s Zune profile has his favourite songs listed, and amongst the picks are Welcome to the Jungle, Paint it Black and, yes, Prince’s When Doves Cry. I love that song.

Replica Gears Lancer DOES Work (Kinda)

6:30PM Luke Plunkett | We were told those overpriced, overblown replica Lancer rifles from the Gears of War universe didn’t work! Well. We were lied to. Sort of. Because while they don’t actually shoot real bullets, and don’t actually feature working chainsaws with which to grind your enemies into chorizo fodder, they do do…something. And that something is simulate a working chainsaw, as the gun rumbles and makes a chainsaw noise. Does this justify the extortionate price tag? No. Does it explain why Dude Huge looks so damn excited every time he’s snapped holding one? Probably! Gears gun replica selling “like hot cakes” [Eurogamer] More »
