Duke Episodes

Duke Nukem Forever is the guaranteed Daikatana of whatever year in it's finally released. The Unreal/UT engine is already growing long in tooth, and it will be even worse a year down the pike. This game will probably come out the same time as the next DOOM game, among others using new technology, and these games will destroy Duke.

One saving grace, and a slim chance at that. The game could be fun. Then again, it looks more likely to be a rehash of the same tired theme Duke3D had. And Duke himself is just a sad mix of Dolph Lundgren and Bruce Campbell. Rip off of Bruce Campbell, I should say.

Polygonal strippers... yeah, okay. Go look at some real porn if you're that hard up.

Hey, George, you fat fuck. Get your fat fucking ass off the amateur race track and get an original game idea in your head. You and your butt buddy Scott Miller sure like to bash on id concerning their new DOOM game, Mister Black Kettle/Pot.

30 comments and no one has said 'GAMAERS.COM IS FRESH...' etc. Wow.

Americans are enjoying the longest peacetime economic expansion in our history.
Yes, it started during President Bush's term, but for more than seven years
during the Clinton-Gore administration, the U.S. economy has been on a roll,
with robust growth, low unemployment, and low interest rates. Given that Al Gore
is running as the sitting vice president in a nation of peace and prosperity,
you might expect him to be enjoying a comfortable lead. But Gore's apparent
post-convention bounce has only pulled him even with the challenger from Texas.
Why?

Maybe it's because Gore is campaigning against the economic policies of the
1990s. He was in office while Americans were creating the greatest economy in
the history of the world, but somehow he's decided that now he wants to be the
candidate for change.

It's an interesting approach. The vice president was very forgiving of President
Clinton's unethical conduct, but Gore is drawing the line on economic policy.
Apparently in good conscience he just can't accept steady growth, low inflation
and rising wealth.

Looking at the substance of Gore's convention speech, it's tough to find any
reference to encouraging economic growth. In part because Gore needs to
encourage turnout among people who rely on government assistance, he spent most
of the evening describing how he would use government power and resources to
help those in need and punish profit-making businesses. While promising new
government programs in health and education, Gore attacked Big Oil, "big
polluters," tobacco companies, HMOs, pharmaceutical firms and Internet
marketers, then promised to abandon the principle of free trade in future trade
agreements.

It's hard to have a free-enterprise system without any free enterprises. Gore is
saying that he wants to impose new costs on various industries while limiting
the ability of all U.S. companies and consumers to trade unless the trading
partner accepts American-style labor and environmental laws.

Gore calls it standing up "for the people, not the powerful," but in this
amazing economy, very often the people are the powerful. Let's take a look at
the drug companies. Close to half of American households own stock in
pharmaceutical companies, either through direct ownership or indirect
investments such as 401(k) plans, mutual funds and pension funds. Gore is
attacking the life savings of millions of average Americans. And for people who
aren't invested in the stock market, are they really going to buy the drug
companies as villains? These are the folks who have delivered cures to millions
of Americans, helped make HIV a manageable disease for countless patients, and
now lead the world in an innovative, high-tech industry. I'm not for the
government beating up on any law-abiding companies, but clearly, the drug
companies ain't Big Tobacco.

For some odd reason, Gore isn't trying to capitalize on what is probably his
strongest asset _ a thriving economy during a period of relative neglect from
Washington. After the failure of his health care reform plan in 1994, Bill
Clinton never again attempted a broad government power grab. After the
Republicans took Congress that fall, federal budgets continued to grow, but the
divided leadership in Congress and the White House prevented any major changes
in either direction. And most of us have prospered in the years since. Keenly
attuned to public sensibilities, Clinton would eventually proclaim, "The era of
big government is over."

Now Gore seems to be saying, "Big government is back! Elect me and I will repeat
the mistakes of the first Clinton term." After seven years of his
administration, Gore wants to make an issue of how bad the economy is. We can
debate who deserves the credit for the 1990s economy, but the bottom line is
that tens of millions of Americans are much better off than they were when
Clinton-Gore took office. Still, Gore won't concede the point that life has been
pretty good during his time in office, so as the incumbent he's arguing for a
major change of direction _ and bigger government.

Some pundits have wondered why Gore doesn't get more credit for the economy of
the 1990s. It makes perfect sense. He's advocating the policies of the 1970s.

Duke who?

DNF is nothing more than an urban myth. The game doesn't exist. 3D Realms is really a government agency doing research on how long the typical gamer can be strung along until he/she realizes they've been duped. Apparently it's a very long time.

hahaha

madgrad: #13: NOOOOOOOOOOOO! YOU DID NOT JUST INSULT UT! ARGH....ANGRY....FEEL MYSELF GROWING BIGGER....ARGH @ Unreal Tournament v425

related to that very stoopid poll steve has going about that homosexual maarten. i used to have this friend whose living room was knee deep (no exaggeration) in beer cans..and other things. he was a very cool dude. cept for that time he pointed a gun in my face when he was very drunk at 3 in the morning...

You'd think with the Unreal engine, maps would take less time to compile and 3DR would get more done on their mandatory 20 hour days.

Whip it! Whip it good!

When strippers using polygons instead of pixels are seen, it'll all be worth it.....

Let me just say that there's no way this will happen. How long has it taken 3D Realms to release a game? Yeah, that's what I thought. You think they're gonna be motivated enough to churn out multiple episodes and stuff? I doubt it, we've been promised a new Duke Game for how long now???

Booya grandma booya.

Did Stephen King's thing work out ($1 per section for that book of his the name of which escapes me for now)?

Bah. Duken Pukem. =)

I WANNA SEE BOOBIES IN 2D!!!!!!!!

Duke Nukem has not had a good game since DN3D made him popular. These days I avoid any game with his name on it, the same way I avoid any and all Tomb Raider crap. If this game ever comes out, it will suck. Of course I can't prove that, but we all know it's true.

An episodic hunting game?

Join us next episode when Duke says:
Those elks are going to pay for shooting up my ride.

FIRST POST SUCKAS!
