Ode to a dead fake twitter account

For the past couple months I've been amused by the supposed twitter account of Cliff Beszinski, lead designer on the Gears of War franchise. Now if you have ever seen video of Cliffy B (name he chose to go by but no longer prefers) then you know he's a interesting person that likes the spot light. Not many computer geeks out there with frosted tips.
Well a fake account was created and it got some well known followers. The daily tweets covered anything from "I'm so sexy it hurts" to coining new terms like Cliffy Punch and Cliffy Tree. For the most part the twitters were so over the top it was either the really Cliff just making fun of his ultra rock star persona or someone making jest at his account. Either way it was a fun read everyday.
Now the fun has come to an end as Twitter has renamed the account and locked down the original. You can read more at Kotaku where they interviewed the two folks behind the fake account. You can also check out the previous tweets as the Fakecliffy_b.
