    New (?) Duke Nukem Forever footage prompts question: Does anyone care anymore?

    Posted on February 2, 2010 | No Comments
    Is this footage new? Meh, doesn’t matter. In celebration of this new Duke Nukem Forever footage, we ask: do you even give a damn about it anymore? I do believe I was 11 years old when the game was first announced, and I can plainly say: nope, don’t care. Still give a damn, Duke Nukem Forever edition? Eh, [...]

    When’s the last time you ordered something off of QVC? For me, the last time was when I was 11 years old. Christmas was coming, I hadn’t bought my family any presents yet, and QVC just seemed so damned convenient. Combine that with the fact that I knew exactly where my parents kept their credit [...]

    Giganews gives 50 percent off for newly Usenet-less AT&T customers

    Ladies and germs! If you're an AT&T Broadband customer you should know that your ISP is shutting off access to Usenet at the end of the month. Why? Yup, it's related to that whole smear campaign from last year. Some nonsense about illegal content that may or may not be there. Anyway, Giganews has a little sale for you guys: 50 percent off three months of the Diamond Plan and 20 percent off other Giganews plans.

    So Duke Nukem Forever is still in development, along with another Duke game

    I have never seen so many words used to described the goings-on of a near-dead video game developer and its near-dead video game. Only, maybe, nothing is dead at all?! I'm talking about, of course, 3D Realms and Duke Nukem Forever. The big news: apparently 3D Realms/Apogee Ltd. is still working on DNF, but just barely, and is also working on another Duke Nukem game, to be published by Take-Two. Quick, let's go back in time to 1997 when we would have cared!

  • What to expect from E3 2009?

    What to expect from E3 2009?

    Posted on June 1, 2009 | No Comments
    Yes, it's true. Peter and Devin and Greg, I think, are in Los Angeles for E3 2009. It's an exciting time for us all, especially those of us who won't be spending the next three (?) days fighting crowds and lines for the privilege of taking a few seconds of Shaky Cam footage of some generic first-person shooter. But enough of that, let's stay positive—it's E3! And this year, it's the real E3: the Los Angeles Convention Center, Very Expensive setups, and enough models (“booth babes”) to make you say, “Really, does Video Game 3 need all those half-naked women flailing about to promote itself?” The answer, of course, is yes. Yes it does.
