During development of this game, they put up a website asking anyone who had previously worked on the game to send in a message, as they figured that there were too many people to count. I put my name in for a joke, along with two other unrelated people that I said I worked alongside. All three names made it to the final credits.

wish he'd gotten further in to the 'tonal whiplash' level, where you go into the alien ship and duke has all these weirdly melancholy lines about how the babes are all alien baby pods now, like "They're not even human anymore..." -- keep in mind that within this same level there were also tits fused to the walls, which you could slap around for literally no reason.

We can only hope sin and punishment can live up to the high bar this game set for very long awaited games.

Duke Nukem Forever had the record for longest development cycle, but I think it recently got dethroned by the yet-unreleased "Beyond Good and Evil 2". So it doesn't even have that "honor" going for it anymore.

'Let's taste it out!' Why was THAT like a nostalgia bomb to my brain? And then you mentioned The Legend of Neil O_O

My dream version of Duke Nukem Forever takes place in the aftermath of Duke saving the world, so we're all super grateful and give him whatever he wants, but also he's this weirdo who speaks ENTIRELY IN QUOTES OF 80'S MOVIES DELIVERED IN ALL CAPS Also, Duke would occasionally have an AI controlled soldier who's very normal and competent to act as the straight man, but the twist is he's gay, which Duke has never heard of before. Duke would be like "AFTER WE KICK SOME ALIEN ASS LET'S GO TO THE BAR AND SMASH SOME GASH" "Ha, thanks for the invite man, but I'm gay." "TELL ME WHAT GAY IS" "Are...are you serious?" "WHAT IS GAY" "...it means I'm not attracted to women." "I KNOW ALL THE PRETTY GIRLS" "It doesn't matter how good-looking they are, I still...okay, seriously, you're just now learning about this?" (*five hours later, totally unprompted*) "I FINALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT BROKE BACK MOUNTAIN WAS ABOUT"
