Duke’s gone gold! The game discs are being manufactured and shipped as we speak! [Source] [Source]

Gearbox making fun of itself.

You may remember my post a fair while back which mentioned that Duke Nukem: Forever was shaping up rather nicely. I’ve been looking forward to this game for a long time now. (You can view the older article here, though the page formatting has mixed things up a bit).

It’s scheduled for release on June 10th (June 14th for the USA). The game looks like it’s ridiculous fun, and why wouldn’t it be? Any game with over a decade of production behind is certain to have witty moments pouring out its ears.

If you haven’t seen it already, here’s the trailer [Warning: Harsh language]:

There’s another couple of videos you might want to see, but I’ll avoid clogging up your browsers. You can find an interview here, and a ‘mockumentary’ here.

The gamer in me is anticipating a probably-awesome experience, while my inner businessman just really wants to see the sales figures a week after it comes out; on the game, sunglasses and, of course, bubble gum. Even if the game turns out to be a failure (gameplay-wise, since we all know it’s going to sell) it’s still worth giving it a spot on your shelf just for the weird factor.

Duke Nukem: Finally, but where’s Dark Millenium?

First of all i would like to apologize for my absence. While it was relatively beyond my control, this site was left stagnant with no warning or explanation. I will endeavour to become more reliable in the future, and i thank you all for your concerned correspondence and support. I am not worthy.

It's not just a dump stat!

Now that we have that out of the way, let’s get back into it with some tasty facts and witticisms!

Let me take you way back to the historic ages of 1997:

• John Howard was baby-steps into his first term as Australian Prime Minister
• The world mourned Princess Diana after her fateful car accident at the Pont de l’Alma road tunnel in Paris.
• Bill Clinton was still in office on his first term and was considered a faithful husband. Monica who?
• The Christmas blockbuster movie this year will be Titanic; all romantically involved men are forced to see it and develop a deep hatred for Leonardo DeCaprio.
• The first teaser info about Duke Nukem Forever was released

That’s right; 3D Realms announced production of Duke Nukem Forever 14 years ago! The fans were weighed, measured, delayed repeatedly and yes, they were found wanting.
