Six Questions with Liam Ashley
May 17, 2010 Leave a comment
It was late at night after a long day of Gears of War 2 Horde mode at the 2008 E for All show in Los Angeles. That was the first day that we’d begun handing out the massive metal COG tags to help promote the Gears of War “Last Day” marketing campaign. The website was up, and a few people had already put in their secret COG tag codes to unlock some cool Gears downloadables and story elements. And then there was this guy on the Epic Games forums who was digging through the site’s code and had managed to unlock nearly every single unlockable on the site without a single COG tag in hand. In just hours he had discovered it all, and he was kind enough to keep his methods mostly to himself and not ruin the experience for everone else. Hooligunn was his forum name, but I came to later know him as Liam Ashley. He was a prominent member of the Epic boards, and eventually he founded the Gears Community Organized Nights, or GCON. Today, he’s answering six questions.
