Duke's All Out of Gum 103

FortKnox writes: "ARUSH games who are making the next Duke Nukem (Duke Nukem:Manhattan Project) have a contest. Submit a new Duke Nukem trash talkin' line, and if yours is chosen, they'll put it in the game (and they'll give you some other booty, too). I can imagine that they'll want it to be pretty clean, but you could have some serious bragging rights if your line made it." If you're reading Slashdot at 6 AM on Sunday morning (note typical U.S.-centrism), clearly you have the right stuff to quip with the best of them.

  • Why aren't Florida residents allowed to participate?

    To hold a sweepstakes or a contest in Florida, the company needs to post bond equal to the total cash value of ALL prizes offered to guarantee that the company can fufill it's promise of prizes.

    Florida enacted a law requiring this after thousands of it's elderly residents were scammed by marketing companies promising them riches in contests and sweepstakes.

    Thanks to this law, most contest promotion companies believe that the market available in Florida isn't worth the hassle or cost of putting the money up front, so Floridians can't win these promotions.

    From an IGN interview [google.com]:

    Bruce Campbell: Well, they're rip-off artists. Let them get their own damn material. It's called hiring a writer. They're blatantly ripping it off and if I was any kind of litigious guy they would've gotten a phone call by now. It's depressing and I think it's wrong. That's why Tachyon: The Fringe will kick little Duke's ass any day.

  • On the Florida side of the issue,

    We (and people in Tennessee) can't ever enter national contests due to some weird state laws, probably involving taxation of prizes or something. Almost all fine print for contests make Florida ineligable.

    On the flip side, we have no state income tax...

    Yup. That George W. Bush sure is a regular Albert Einstein. Other Republican geniuses include: Jesse "the Unreconstructed Racist" Helms and Trent "the Suave Redneck" Lott.

    My personal favorite conservative genius is Houston-area Representative Tom "the Arrogant Asshole" DeLay, who is against mass transit for Houston (the largest city in the U.S. with a bus-only mass transit system) even though such a system would cut car traffic and clean up the air.

    His district is composed White-majority bedroom communities containing many residents who commute to work in Houston, yet this genius keeps denying Houston money for a rail system even though his constituents would directly benefit from a light rail system.

    Real smart, huh? But lets not forget the real geniuses here, the voters who keep returning him to office and subjecting the rest of the country to this fool...

  • Here in Texas we have no state tax and we can be in contests. So there!
    Actually this poster is partially incorrect. There is one major prohibition on contests -- an alcohol-related sweepstakes ban. That meant that Texans could not enter the contest a while back where Guinness was giving away a genuine Irish pub :-<
    But then again, you _live_ in Texas. That would count as cruel and unusual punishment.
    Ouch! The truth hurts...

    Conservatism in action, I like to call it. Texans are deathly afraid of an income tax, and use a convoluted and inquitable system of local property taxes to pay for stuff like public schools. Consequently, Texas is in the bottom 10% nationwide in many statistics (like paying school teachers).

    Houston is choking with auto traffic and the air here is approaching (and freqently surpassing) LA's poor air quality, yet rail transit still is not a reality here. Conservatives don't care because taxes are low here. Many Texans wouldn't mind paying a little more in taxes for a better quality of life but we are prevented from doing so by the conservative White rednecks in charge here.

    P.S. re: the alcohol-sweepstakes ban, it is the Bible-belt conservatives who treat citizens like children in Texas. If godless liberals like me were in charge we would treat citizens like adults...

    The bubble gum quote comes from the John Carpenter's _They live_

    The first level of the game is very closely based on the John Carpenter, _Escape from New York._ I think this is where the "Hail to the king baby" comes from.

    Remember the the tip of the hat to ID software? "That's one doomed space marine" and "I ain't afraid of no Quake"

    How about all the OJ "Guilty / Innocent" billboards? Well I guess that one wasn't so obscure.
