Aranth writes "The staff at Ars Technica has gotten its hands on a demo of Duke Nukem Forever, and has written up a review. It seems the game is near ready for release! As the article explains, the reason it has taken so long to develop is because this is the first real Web 3.0 application- it has 'been rewritten as an Ajax application written using the Ruby on Rails framework' and runs in any web browser, although some seem to have difficulties." Sadly, the game looks to be deficient in the area of ponies. :(((( But, it's playable from my hiptop!! :))))

Duke Nukem Forever 'Confirmed' For Late 2008 344 comments
An anonymous reader writes "A Dallas newspaper is claiming that the long-in-development title Duke Nukem Forever is headed for retail release in late 2008. Unfortunately, game creator 3D Realms says that's not exactly what they meant. 'What the modest Texas newspaper actually seems to suggest is that 3D Realms is "on target" to release the mythical sequel sometime this year, though company president Scott Miller adds, "we may miss the mark by a month or two" (wink, wink). Miller also hinted that "hitting the big three" (in this case, PC, Xbox 360 and PS3) is the obvious development strategy, but he continued to stress that 3D Realms has not "formally announced any platforms for DNF."'"

Bad advice - a true reader doesn't want them to even try mangling what would be good AFJs.
A good AFJ would be the Goblin Tinker announcement. It even fooled Slashdot since they mangled it to make it look like an obvious AFJ.

I had a problem installing. The install program seams to have a problem with installing as a "Run as.." admin account. But when I install it after logging in as the admin through the startup screen, no problems.
This needs a lot of work and I think it's going to be a while before it's released.

* Why grow up? Get some Duke in your life
The Bad:
* Hatred of women maybe not so hilarious after all
* Slim multiplayer pickins'

The timing would have been beleivable, given that we haven't heard from 3d realms is a while.

Once we begin taking pre-orders, believe us, you'll know about it.
The release date of this game is "When it's done". Anything else, and we mean anything else is someone's speculation. There is no date

Apparently it has been decided that the consumer has been screwed enough and that there are better ways to make money from those people. Also the term consumer has been replaced with the term 'those buying suckers' (TM).
This is some day.

this isn't even funny!
in january 1999, i received a gift certificate from 3drealms for $35 dollars because i won one of their camera captioning contests... and, foolishly, I decided that I would wait a lil while until DNF (Duke Nukem Forever, not Did Not Finish) was released and use it on that!
And so.. yeah, fast forward to 6 years later..
my heart skips a beat!
anybody want a $35 dollar gift certificate?
