Duke Nukem will usher in a new era of shooters, one that will drive us away from terrible generic brown military/sci-fi shooters with Tom Clancy Plot Generator-quality storylines of today, and into a bold new era of parking bricks in alien toilets and drinking beer with the D-pad. Hail to the king, baby, or blow it out your ass. Balls of steel. Always bet on Duke.

"Anyone else find it shameful that most of the previews from PAX so far don't even recognize that that giant boss on the football field is actually the final boss from Duke Nukem 3D? "

This game is gonna rule, Duke Nukem rules, all you nay-saying children and manchildren are gonna be left behind during the Rapture when the Dukeocalypse hits the world on release date, always bet on Duke, balls of steel, etc.

"i just think the world of gaming has got so much more sophisticated than the lame frat-boy T&A related humour of Duke Nukem. Even the name....ugh.....If this game was just announced today and was a new IP everyone would think it was fucking stupid. The only reason it is news is because the dev cycle has been such a twisted clusterfuck.  The game on its own is boring. "

Heh, look at all these young'un "hardcore gamers" thinking Duke Nukem isn't relevant. Sorry, children (and man children), but it's finally happening. The perfect video game is finally going to be released. Mankinds has reached its peak. Always bet on Duke.

I wouldn't call myself a "collector", but I do own a lot of older video game consoles and several games for them.  I still have everything from when I was growing up, from the NES onwards, as well as all the current generation stuff, and stuff that has been around longer than I've been alive.  People collect video game stuff for a variety of reasons, but my reason is to play them.  Arguably, I could just play all the older stuff on an emulator or whatever, but beyond just playing the games, I do enjoy tinkering with old electronics.  Nothing like getting a "broken" video game console up and running again, or turning two bad controllers into a good controller.

 
It's sad to see people stop collecting the stuff, and me buying their collection off of them on the cheap.  You gotta have a love for the hobby a bit beyond just nostalgia.  I enjoy playing games of different genres and from different eras.  I also love the history of video game technology and the way games have changed over the years.  A combination of all of that is why I "collect".   It's not about rarity or value for me.

I'd love new PC games, but PC gaming is dead. You can thank horrible DRM and an internet full of teenagers that advocate piracy for that.  Thanks, internet.

Misfired sentence, ignore. 

I got that.... The worse part. Is I know that song from Tony Hawk's Project 8.... "
