Is there a TL;DR version?

I thought they were quite straight forward. What, you wanted the sophisticated version?

This just came in:

Lot's of links to click at.

[Ghello]

Just post a sentence on what all this uninteresting shit is.

[Gobbler]

Seconded.

Take-two are pissed about their 12 million going to waste on hookers and blow.

Thats it.

Heh, I liked the bit in the comments on that article: "It's time to go to court and waste cash, and I'm all out of cash".

So your problem is not actually the woman/alien combination but the nudity. Hmmm.

To an extent...aliens abducting people that happen to be female is fair enough, but trying to make alien abduction and violation sexy...

Then again, when you are running round in one of those green organic looking corridors in the dark, with those lame alien rip off eggs with the jumping slime monsters that are pretty cool and creepy. it sort of ruins the atmosphere to have lots of naked people around.

It would have actually been scary if you had pods for guys too. I mean, if the aliens rip-offs were attempting to use earth women to increase the population, you can rip more from the movies and have the guys give birth to alien babies. I mean, come on, guys can have babies too.

Arnold had a baby :D

That would have worked better, I guess...and not just white people as well. Alternatively, if the people are there just to breed aliens...they don't need all of them...make it harder for the men and women to escape if they were trimmed down. Not like they need their arms/legs/eyes anymore.

Also, if Duke is supposedly trying to stop the aliens "stealing" (not kidnapping or abducting) the women, you'd think killing them would be more of a bad thing.

To be fair, there was not much else he could have done, since they were supposed to be already tainted and unable to be saved.

If I recall correctly a game I played 10-13 years ago.

There are some games out there that can probably be better than DNF or what was going to be DNF. Bioshock 2 for example.

Sounds fair.

Duek's reaction is quite hilarious. A pregnant woman giving birth to an unimaginably horrible creature is screaming in unbreable pain while Duke calmly puts his glasses on.
"I'm goin' in".
Hehehe, Duke, you're such an asshole

3D Realms Release – Pertaining to Recent Events Surrounding Duke Nukem Forever
Dallas, TX (May 18, 2009) – In light of recent press articles and statements by Take-Two (to the media and in a lawsuit), we want to set the record straight on some issues.

Despite rumors and statements to the contrary, 3D Realms (3DR) has not closed and is not closing. 3DR retains ownership of the Duke Nukem franchise. Due to lack of funding, however, we are saddened to confirm that we let the Duke Nukem Forever (DNF) development team go on May 6th, while we regroup as a company. While 3DR is a much smaller studio now, we will continue to operate as a company and continue to license and co-create games based upon the Duke Nukem franchise.

As some of you may know, Take-Two filed a lawsuit last week containing various accusations and claims against 3DR and the uncompleted DNF game. Take-Two never paid 3DR advances or any signing bonus or any other funds related to DNF, up until July 2008, at which time they paid $2.5m in connection with another agreement for an unannounced game. This is the sum total Take-Two has paid 3DR in connection with DNF. Take-Two claims that they paid $12m to GT Interactive/Infogrames to acquire the publishing rights for the DNF game. To be clear, 3DR was not a party to that transaction and did not receive any money from it. When the DNF game was originally signed with GT Interactive in 1998, GT paid 3DR a $400,000 signing bonus. Up until July 2008, this was the only publisher money we received for the DNF game. Meanwhile, 3DR put over $20m into the production of DNF.

Take-Two retains publishing rights for the DNF game, although 3DR retains certain rights to sell the game directly to the public. Late last year, 3DR began negotiations with Take-Two to provide funding to complete the DNF game. In the meantime, 3DR was hitting mutually-agreed milestones, despite not having a new agreement finalized. Take-Two was well aware that 3DR needed the funding to continue the DNF game development. Suddenly, after months of negotiations, Take-Two materially changed the parameters of the proposed funding agreement. 3DR informed Take-Two that it could not financially afford the changes Take-Two was suggesting and would be forced to release the team if an agreement was not reached. Take-Two made a last minute proposal to acquire the Duke Nukem franchise and the 3DR development team. Take-Two's proposal was unacceptable to 3DR for many reasons, including no upfront money, no guarantee minimum payment, and no guarantee to complete the DNF game. From 3DR's perspective, we viewed Take-Two as trying to acquire the Duke Nukem franchise in a "fire sale." Those negotiations fell through on May 4th, a deal never materialized, and the DNF team was sadly released a few days later.

Less than a week after the DNF team was released, Take-Two filed its lawsuit in New York, seeking immediate temporary injunctive relief. The court denied Take-Two's request for a temporary restraining order. While we cannot comment on the details of the ongoing lawsuit, we believe Take-Two's lawsuit is without merit and merely a bully tactic to obtain ownership of the Duke Nukem franchise. We will vigorously defend ourselves against this publisher.

Yes, everyone is a fucking jealous detractor but that doesn't change the fact that these guys have been basically slacking off for twelve years except when farting out the occasional bogus trailer videos and they're expecting me to feel sympathy for them.

Yeah, everyone knows you have to have music by the Who after playing with your shades and spouting a crap line like that.

I find it hard to sympathise, let alone empathise with 3DR. You know, there was always something about them and id. They're just taking themselves too seriously. Is it the ego?

I wanted to make a video doing a parody on Duke, but I'm affraid jewtube is populated by Dukefags and votebots.
