At least the project. What's interesting here, however, is not really that the company folded (like who DIDN'T see this coming) but HOW the demise started and ended.

I read that a while ago and it is a fascinating article.
What I found really interesting is how they are still being sued to turn over what they do have. Looks like someone still wants to resurrect the project.

I find that funny... The tech has moved on so fast that by the time you win the source codes, it will be irrelevant.
Whenever Cicero spoke, the people reacted and said, "He spoke so well." But when Demosthenes spoke, the people said, "Let us march."

It's not about the source code, but rather the Intellectual Property rights to the name. There are enough fans out there that if a new Duke Nukem game were created, the sales would be enough to cement the franchise for future games.
Linux is user friendly... It's just picky about who it becomes friends with.

As someone already said at the other site:
"Practical nuclear fusion is always 30 years away.
Fast non-volatile memory tech to replace RAM and HD is always 10 years away.
Duke Nukem Forever is forever 6 months away.
Kudos for Gearbox in keeping the myth alive."
When I have the playable computer version in my hands then will I believe the tale and not before.

Yet another trailer...
Something tells me they just sit around making trailers rather than the actual game.

It is by coffee alone I set my mind in motion, it is by the beans of Java that thoughts acquire speed, the hands acquire shaking, the shaking becomes a warning, by coffee alone I set my mind in motion.

I wonder if it will come out for Mac? If not, I might just have to finally break down and get that Xbox with Kinect.

Sounds like some original fans might like it, but generally a negative review.

After a basic pre-credit tutorial, the game proper then kicks off with Duke receiving a (thankfully offscreen) blowjob from twins.

I don't expect it to be anything more than entertainment and a flashback to the early days of gaming for me.
That being said, I can't wait to go pick up my reserved copy tomorrow.

I guess one reviewer was expecting it to be The King's Speech of first person shooters.
