Duke Nukem Forever Release Date Revealed 288
stupid_is writes with news that Duke Nukem Forever has now gotten a firm US release date: May 3rd. It will release worldwide three days later. The game was resurrected last fall by Gearbox Software and 2K Games after 3D Realms' 12-year attempt at development came to an end in 2009 when the company closed its doors.

If only they'd managed to make the release date April 1. That'd have been awesome.

I predict that the moment before the game is to be "released," a wormhole will open, occupying half the sky over Los Angeles. From it, millions of Octabrains will come forth, wreaking havoc and destruction while Battlelords appear and L.A.P.D. pigs are turned into L.A.R.D. cops. No, we have only just seen the early prophecy. In this Hollywood Holocaust, only those yielding laser tripmines, pipebombs, and microwave guns will survive.
I, for one, welcome our new DN3D Overlords. (Someone desperately needed to upgrade the sprites to DNF models!)

I refuse to miss what may be my last chance to make the same horrible joke I made 10 years ago.
Duke Nukem Forever? More like Duke Nukem Fornever!
There, I feel better now.

Yes, it does work in DOSBox. Gog.com sell it [gog.com], so it must.
Hey, what do you know! Having a look at that page, I just spotted that I bought it from Gog. I don't remember doing that! Well, I'm off to play a game.

Yeah, but now we'll have to look for a new nerdy injoke that is the equivalent of "When hell freezes over".
"When slashdotters all date hot girls." There, that wasn't so hard, was it?

Personally, I can't wait for Duke Nukem Forever 2 to get released. By then, it will be available as a holonovel, and we will finally have flying cars.
I'm not so sure there will be holonovels or flying cars here after the Sun swells to a red giant and engulfs us.

Yes, but he said "hot chicks" not some Jabba the Hutt look-a-like.

Larry just wanted to make sure that if there was anything bigger than his ego in this solar system, that he would at least own it.
