In The Keep Podcast – Cliff Bleszinski @ Realms Deep 2020
61Cliff Bleszinski (CliffyB) is the game designer behind Unreal, Jazz Jackrabbit, Gears of War & LawBreakers. After his long tenure with Epic Games & subsequent foray with his company Boss Key Productions, Cliff has branched out into many entrepreneurial ventures including 2 restaurants in Raleigh, NC, producing the 8x Tony Award winning musical HADESTOWN & is currently working in his memoir. Most of all, Cliff is a thoughtful, down to earth guy who’s seen a lot while managing to stay very much in touch with the real world despite his obsession with the matrix. Oh & he’s friends with Ice-T!
