I guess this is how you know when you've made a name for yourself in industry when they start doing well publiced events in your side projects. Good on Yahtzee and his business partners.
Duke Nukem Forever Having Drinks With Yahtzee

You all probably think I'm mad. I live 15 minutes drive from the mana bar, and have absolutely no interest in going to this 
Also, it's really more like 'Yug's Mana Bar'...poor Yug always in Yahtzee's shadow =(
(give yug a hug)

I had a laughter attack unlike any other when I read the headline to this. Given the past history between DNF and Yahtzee...this decision is beyond epic. But yeah...we'll see how it goes when it does happen I suppose. Mana bar is the mana bar in the end, it's its own beast. But still...the implicated irony is too hilarious.
Clever advertising strategy.
Pity I don't live in Australia; this might have actually been worth the effort.
I'm still not sold on DNF. Not even close. But at least this advertising blitz is a whole lot more interesting than, say, Halo Reach's was (Suck it down Microsoft. Your massive expenditure of money did little more than annoy me).

This is basically exactly how I feel. I never played any of the original Duke Nukem games (mostly because that fake 3-D they used gives me motion sickness), but the more I hear about this, the more I want to play it.PedroSteckecilo said:
Gearbox is trying really, really hard to make up for all the bullshit that fans have had to go through just to play this fucking game, and you get the impression that not only do they love this game, but they want as many people as possible to play it. Honoring decade-old preorders, blatently making fun of the excessively long development, and handing out demos to the unwashed masses makes me wonder if, perhaps, I should have bet on the Duke.
Waw. That is going to be one awkward encounter, given Yahtzee's, erm, "not too kind review" of Duke Nukem Forever. But then again, this will make for some awesome material for Extra Punctuation.
I swear it sounds like from the "too crude for ESRB" thread that they BASED what they could of the game on Yahtzee's review...and my guess is he'll probably be a little nice to any Gearbox games coming out
I'm suprised they haven't started making more Mana Bars, they should bring them to the US, we're already fat and lazy, we can take after those of us with Irish ancestors and add drunk to our stereotypes while we steal everyone elses (seriously though, I'd fucking LIVE in a Mana Bar if they made one here in Cleveland, sleep? Work? Who needs those, I have Littlebig Planet and a Mudkip shot, why do I need anything else?)
