    After listening to the discussion about DNF (which I haven't played myself), especially Andrea's opinion, I have a question for the WC crew:

    Is there a way for Duke Nukem to be true to character, and not be misogynist? And if so, how would that look? Or was Duke Nukem only successful as a character because he existed in an area where most of the consumers of his media (i.e. PC gamers) were young men, and now that the industry's consumer base has matured, he's just offensive?
