I have to say this was probably Yahtzee's best yet.

Is it that upsetting for him or is he just out of ideas? I wish I could play the game too, but I'm not being obnoxious about it. Certainly, my obnoxiousness is completely unrelated.

Be nice, Dak, you know Malacite doesn't have any concept of obnoxiousness.

The crossbow next to his head and "making John Romero look on the ball" made me laugh.

HAH you're one to talk. I just thought this one stood really stood out because it's so damned true.

Just from this, I'm pretty sure that he actually is.

Re: Duke Nukem Forever

With the current state of 3D Realms I doubt, if there was a shred of doubt left, that this game will ever see release.

The sad thing is there are people still waiting for it...

Rumor: Borderlands Studio Reviving Duke Nukem Forever

"There may be hope yet for the ludicrously long-in-the-making Duke Nukem Forever. Sources claiming to have knowledge of the situation tell Kotaku that Duke Nukem Forever development continues at a new home, Borderlands developer Gearbox Software.

The studio responsible for Brothers In Arms, Borderlands and Aliens: Colonial Marines is said to have picked up Duke Nukem Forever development where former studio 3D Realms left off, perhaps Duke's best bet for eventual completion.

Duke Nukem Forever, according to sources who wished to remain anonymous, is now in the hands of Gearbox and is planned to be released under the studio's name. Gearbox was outed as the developer of the apparently scrapped Duke Nukem spin-off Duke Begins earlier this year.

Take-Two Interactive still maintains publishing rights to the title, which the company confirmed to Kotaku tonight. (A company spokesperson declined to comment about the status of the Duke Nukem Forever project and whether it is in the works at Gearbox.)

One source indicated that a playable demo of Duke Nukem Forever will be available later this year.

The development of Duke Nukem Forever has been in limbo since 3D Realms' demise in 2009. Publisher Take-Two later sued 3D Realms for its failure to deliver Duke Nukem Forever in a reasonable time frame. The two parties settled their differences in May of 2010 under unspecified terms.

Gearbox Software president Randy Pitchford declined to comment to Kotaku on the matter, indicating that he may be able to better clarify the situation further at this year's Penny Arcade Expo in Seattle.

3D Realms founder George Broussard, the man infamously in charge of Duke Nukem Forever, did not respond to requests for comment.

Given the nature of Duke Nukem Forever's long and storied history, we're filing this under rumor for now, but we'll be keeping a close eye on PAX-related developments for further details."

Yes, and those sources were kidnapped by Bigfoot and Mothman. Shortly after, they were all abducted by aliens and taken to the North Pole, deep in an dungeon where Santa keeps all the people on his naughty list. They are drowned in a vat of liquefied marshmallow peeps by the Easter Bunny.

My source for this is a remote viewer stationed in Antarctica, a man who can kill goats in the Middle East just by thinking. He doesn't believe that Duke Nukem Forever exists, but he does believe the mothership is coming for him next Tuesday. He's hoping to persuade its inhabitants to capture Andy Dick and replace him with someone that's actually funny.

I see BBQ is only 9 months behind on his movie watching.

Re: Duke Nukem Forever

I think if Duke Nukem Forever actually got released we would all be very sad as it's been a fantastic industry in-joke for a long time now. If someone actually finished it, the thing would just be another generic FPS that was quickly forgotten.

Re: Duke Nukem Forever

While I was so looking forward to this game for a long time, I now believe it should be buried and left to rot.
