Gears Of War Designer Cliff Bleszinski Engaged

Cliff Bleszinski a.k.a. CliffyB a.k.a. Dude Huge may be best-known amongst gamers for his work on the gory Gears of War franchise. Despite all that machismo, though, Bleszinski has a soft side that he demonstrated today with the announcement that he's been engaged.

Bleszinski and long-time girlfriend Lauren Berggren announced the news via Twitter. In Bleszinski's words:

"On a perfect day in Central Park I asked the love of my life to be my co-op buddy for life and she said 'yes.' #engaged"

You've got to admit, coming from the same mind that helped bring together that classic combination of machine gun and chainsaw, that's a pretty heart-warming tweet.

Obviously, we don't often spend time on GI talking about creators' personal lives, but since Bleszinski is such a well-known and outspoken figure in the industry, we wanted to take a moment to congratulate the happy couple. I'll assume invites for a Gears-themed wedding ceremony are in the mail?
