Yo, sign me up

On a more debatable subject, I'm really enjoying the latest C&T comics, and the guesties. Especially loving Angular Mike presenting the news.

Please excuse this lame attempt at bringing life into the forums.

I like crisps, and dislike Duke Nukem, so this cult sounds good to me.

[Jane Sherwood]

I have a tube of crisps, will that do?

(Also: I have one to send in, but it'll be another week or so before I can. Curse my lack of a scanner!)

I have custard creams and Wotsits, and I think Duke Nuken was fine as a 2D platformer. Hell, sign me up...

The forums are quite dead, really, but you can't say I haven't been trying...

Angular Mike was presenting the news in 5 Days A Stranger too, although it was rather hard to tell.

[Brick McRunfast]

I've got a pack of Oreos, a tube of rash cream, and a deep, burning hatred for delays.

I've got some old tortilla chips lying around. They are in a big bag, so that should count for something. And I'm sick of waiting for a new Duke Nukem. The first one was fun, second one always froze my computer, and 3D kicked some ass. But really... Why are they still trying...

I remember seeing Angular Mike in 5 Days, but I don't think I recognized him at the time... Wasn't 5 Days before Angular Mike? Could that TV scene have inspired the whole comic? Or is my memory just shite?

[SimeSublime]

I'm not certain, but Mike worked at McDonalds in the comic, so it would be more likely that 5 Days came later.

[Chyld]

Angular Mike came long before 5 Days, because even I'd been here long enough to see in the latter, and came in very late for the former.

I did notice Mike on both tellys, but didn't give it much notice. He's gotta get his money somehow nowadays.

[SimeSublime]

You only joined us then? I thought you were here a lot before that.

[Frimkron]

I'm starting to agree about Duke.

I mean, I'm all for game developers having the balls to continue work on their project until its perfected as a lovingly-crafted well-polished fully functioning piece of software (or art?) rather than being pressured into releasing any old bug-ridden identikit crap as long as it makes money. And even though I know Duke will never live up to the idea of this legendary mysterious uber-game that its been hyped up by some to be over the years, I think the game will probably be good in itself - ignoring the everyone's built-up preconceptions.

However,

Eight years?! Its a bit long isnt it. They could have made a lot of other good games in that time instead.

[Chyld]

Nope, only came along in August-September last year. Although that does class as "long time" nowadays...

[Dark Comet]

I've got a packet of rich tea biscuits and some Jelly Babies. And some gummi bears. Yeah.

I seem to recall several other Duke games after 3D - Planet of the Babes and Manhatten Project. And a weird one about time travel. All I think were third person and (correct me if I'm wrong) considered shite.

Anyway, wasn't 3D realms involved in the Max Payne games? There's a far better concept to work with.

Those games were developed my a whole other company, I think they call themselves "N-Space" or something like that. 3D Realms just published those games.

"Duke Nukem: Time To Kill" wasn't actually that bad, I played through the whole thing and enjoyed it.

[Dark Comet]

Fair go.

I don't think the third person perspective did it any favours. Although I am greatly skeptical of reviews, I failed to find one that considered them better than 3D.
