I honestly never thought the game would be released anyway. I can remember selling reservations for it at GameStop when I was in high school.

For a good laugh, here's the obituary:

There's some good stuff in there, like:

Things that have taken less time than Duke Nukem Forever's Development:
-The Beatles formed, released every single one of their albums and broke up. During this time they also toured the world several times.
-World War II and the entire Manhattan Project. Yes, even the complete development of the atomic bomb took less time.

Finally Duke Nukem Forever has evolved into Duke Nukem Never..........that took forever.

This is in the same vein as:
"I'm from Iowa"
"NOBODY CARES!"
(Red vs Blue) :)

Things that have taken less time than Duke Nukem Forever's Development:

-The age of the samurai. This "age" lasted many decades and is a very historical time.
-Disney Lands creation. Most likely took ages, personally i don't know! but i know they're still adding things, so its not done yet.
-Evolution. This takes thousands of millions of years.
-The announcement of Diablo III after we all already knew it was going to happen.
-Blond Hawtties figuring out that your flirting with them.
-Female human beings picking out clothes at the down town mall.
-Eminem realizing that he is totally gay for Dr. Dre.
-Windows figuring out that Vista is shit.

that will be all...

I recall hearing somewhere that the dinosaurs were really looking forward to Duke nukem..

[cronjob00]

supposedly 3d realms might stay open but the duke nukem 3d staff was let go. But I still wouldn't give them long even if there doors do stay open obviously they cant run a business 13 years on a game they never finished.
