Voice of Duke Nukem Indicates Forever Won't Go Away

- Start date
Jon St John is a pretty cool guy. Partied with him in my hotel room I had at MAGFest, he hopped around the retreat building where a bunch of parties were.
I've never even played a Duke Nukem game before, but I still think it's going to come out some day. Reguardless of whether it sucks or rules, is ligitimate or fanmade, all demeand must eventually met with some form of supply.
For the LOVE of THOTH, will they just give up already!? It's dead! It's BEEN dead! It's continuing to be dead! At this point Duke Nukem Forever can't be anything more than disappointing even if it IS released. We've had the likes of Half-Life 2, already, what makes them think THIS is going to even be a significant achievement compared with that?
Riiiiight. And Jon St. John would have the inside scoop on this because...?
Y'know, even if 3D Realms hadn't spent the last decade one-upping the late, semi-lamented Ion Storm in terms of sheer development inertia, the last game 3D Realms put out on their own was Shadow Warrior. Anyone remember Shadow Warrior? The game that forced you to listen to the imbecile of a main character make the same "Oh damn, I'm running into walls now" quip five million times just to search for secret passages? The game that made it harder to climb a ladder than to slaughter a small army with your bare hands? The game that thought bunnies humping and anime girls straining on the toilet were hysterical?
If it came out tomorrow, if every in-game pinball machine, pool table, and ATM was a fully-developed game, if it heralded an engine that put Unreal Tech to shame, if every copy came with a free, real-live stripper... I would still wait until it came to Steam for $5.
