Duke Nukem Forever in Production 428
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."

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.

Well that explains why you get to see Daniel Jacksons wifes tits and ass in the first episode*. I had never figured out how they slipped that one by the FCC, even the pre-Bush FCC.

nervous advertisers who may not want to associate with something "adult" like the shows you mentioned.
Every cable network has its own Standards and Practices group (Usually referred to as 'S&P') in order to appease the sponsors. The reason networks often show more "risque" shows late at night (e.g. South Park uncut on Comedy Central) is because that is when more adult sponsors buy ad time (usually porn, or any other sex-related product whose parent company quite frankly doesn't care if a thousand soccer moms boycott their product).
Networks like HBO, Showtime and the like are a lot more simple -- they are subscription-based networks, and as such don't air commercials.
