Ars Technica Review Slams Duke Nukem Forever 462
Kethinov writes "Ars Technica writes one of their most negative reviews of a game in a long time, referring to Duke Nukem Forever as 'barely playable' and 'one of the worst games from a major studio in quite some time. The jokes border on hateful. The graphics are a blurry mess. The shooting is unsatisfying.' Their verdict? Skip this one."
Apparently nobody told the new IP owner... (Score:5, Funny)
...that the whole point was that it actually was planned to be a joke, hence, "Forever", and that they weren't supposed to be working on it for real. Their only task was to load the 3d rendering program and to build another fake "screenshot" with some new changes to the old "screenshot" so that it looked like they were doing something.
They could have milked this another 20 years if they'd been smart, but NO, they had to go and actually try to build the thing...

It's reminding me of Daikatana. I guess George Broussard just made us his bitch.

What's wrong with calling it Faggs? (Score:5, Funny)
Duke Nukem Forever is the kind of game where you find a pack of cigarettes whose cover shows a mustached man wearing leather—and they're called "Faggs."
Here's the good news... (Score:5, Funny)
"Faggs" are an "officially protected victim class" (Score:3, Funny)
One is only allowed to insult white males of Western European heritage - because they are an evil blight upon Gaia.
And if they're Christians, you're even allowed to burn them alive.
As long as you pay for your carbon credits.

Actually, Tits should be capitalized. God should not, unless it's the first word in a sentence.
Breasts (Tits, Boobs, Boobies, Funbags, etc) are real. We've all seen them. Well, some of you have only seen pictures, and the shape in women's shirts. Some of you have touched them. We all know them, in their variety of shapes, sizes, and colors. They are categorized for their size and type. There are entire industries dedicated to supporting, decorating, and even marketing them. For those who can't see them normally, there is an abundance of establishments (Tittie Bars) where you can rent the privilege of seeing them.
We even apply the term to other objects. Man Boobs, back Boobs, and the largest of them all, the Grand Tetons.
This god myth is something else. You can't see it, touch it, hear it, or in any way recognize that it exists other than a few irrational assumptions. There may be one or more, depending on which piece of classical fiction people believe in. Some believe it looks like a man, a woman, or even a plate of spaghetti.
Capitalize your favorite term for Breasts with pride. We all love Boobs!
