General Chaos / Duke Nukem Forever
« on: May 28, 2009, 04:41:12 PM »
Things That Blow My Mind:
The Duke Nukem Forever video game has been in "development" for 12 years. Not 12 months -- 12 YEARS! Since 1997! Last month, Take Two finally pulled the plug on the 3d Realms project which has been passed around the video game industry, changed engines multiple times, and has seen employee turnover that would make a McDonalds sad ...
Yet despite this, there is proof positive that, for anything you can possibly conceive, there are people out there who will buy into it. There is a thread on the 3d Realms forums wherein people are whining that Take Two has stopped the game from being made and it's their fault that they'll never get to play it ...
This is why I'm willing to throw my lot in with whatever alien conquerors arrive. There's no hope for humankind. Go alien overlords. *waves pennant*

Edit: Just so nobody thinks I'm lamenting the obssessions of a couple of nutjobs -- there are 20 pages of posts on this very topic.
