An anonymous reader writes "Like that fungus under your keyboard, Duke Nukem Forever never really seems to go away. Well in the latest installment in unsubstantiated DNF rumors it appears that the game is finally in production. Via Joystiq "everyone's favorite vaporware is "in full production" according to George Broussard, co-founder of 3D Realms. In an interview with 1up, towards the end, Broussard chats about the status of Duke Nukem Forever, the unfortunately-apt title to the game over a decade in development."

Duke Nukem Forever Update 250 comments
Gamasutra reports on an update to one of the longest running jokes in the games industry, Duke Nukem Forever. The title, already ten years in development, may (possibly) see release this decade. From the blurb: "3DR's George Broussard also demonstrated world interactivity that includes Duke standing in front of a computer and emailing the player, if he provides his email address for the game. But, according to the piece, Broussard was bashful, overall, about showing off the game, commenting: 'The problem is that when we show it, people are going to be like, Yeah, whatever. Honestly, at this point we just want to finish it.'"

Whatever has been going on all this time, it appears that now there is a 12/31/06 date with money attached, with millions already being paid.

One other notable payment was the renegotiation of a $6 million charge due upon delivery of the final PC version of Duke Nukem Forever back in March 2005. The epic delay of 3D Realms' shooter has meant that $4.25 million of the final milestone payment has already been paid, alongside the promise of a final $500,000 upon the commercial release of Duke Nukem Forever prior to December 31, 2006.

because after all the delays, hype, anticipation
no matter how good the game is, hopes will be higher than it can deliver.
And reviewers will say: "Well, it might be the greatest game ever, but it wasn't worth the wait"

All species other than the Tau'ri (Humans from Earth) are stupid.
Think about it. How could a small secret organization become a major player in the universe in a matter of years? Why do Goa'uld soldiers walk around in big noisy metal uniforms that make them easy to locate and easy to see, yet provide no protection against even handguns? How come no one else has an iris?
The answer is simple: everyone else is stupid! After that, the absurdly predictable behavior of the Goa'uld becomes perfectly clear.

They were planning to do character models but decided against it at the very last moment, so they were almost being done.
Yes, guns are finished; they're through with the whole guns thing, had enough of them, they're finished, gone, out of the game.
