Well only 10 years since it was announced and 6+ since the original trailer...

Finally POSSIBLY some light at the end of the tunnel?

Heres the article pulled off Internode.

Tis the season to be jolly, it seems - especially if you work for 3D Realms, or if you (like so many other gamers) are looking forward to their little project, Duke Nukem Forever.

It seems that a few people who work for the company have been burning the midnight oil, working hard on the project that so many people have written off as just vaporware... and they finally have something to show for it. Not only have we gotten a very shiny new screenshot from the game, but they're promising, tomorrow morning, a brand new teaser trailer for the game.

Apparently, it was as much a surprise to the company as it is to us!

Last Saturday we had our annual company Christmas party. It was a lot of fun as usual but it featured one special surprise. It turns out that several people had been secretly working late nights and into the wee hours of the morning preparing a special video for those at the party. They created a short teaser for Duke Nukem Forever.

...now, in case you'd forgotten, it's been more than ten years since Duke Nukem Forever was announced, way back in April 1997. The world didn't know about this Dance Dance Revolution concept in 1997, and Pokémon was a crazy idea that only existed in Japan. None of the Unreal games been seen, neither had Grand Theft Auto, Halo, or The Sims. There was no StarCraft, only one Diablo, and two Warcrafts, with World of Warcraft just a twinkle in a gamer's eye. There was no Xbox, Xbox 360, GameCube, Gameboy Color, Gameboy Advance, Nintendo DS, Nintendo Wii, Sega Dreamcast, PSone, PS2, PS3, or PSP.

Yes, I drag these stats out every time DNF is mentioned. If you want to read more, check out the deliciously comprehensive Duke Nukem Forever List and marvel at what can be done in a decade.

Heres the NEWEST screenie that was released today as well

I remember pressing alt+F buttons and making prank phone calls with what he said :D

"What are you? Some kind of bottom feeding, scum sucking, algea eater?"

Also notably funny is how Duke Nukem Forever shortens to DNF (did not finish)...

Duke Nukem 3D was the shit, and should always be rememberd as the shit...

I wish they'd make a Duke Nukem movie with Bruce Willis... and lots of naked chicks. Hope I'm not the only one who played DN3D with the boobie patch.

I think it would be sick to play each and every game on each of the engines :P

And I still have Duke3d on like the first ever CD I got... it has heretik, doom 2, and a bunch of other games. like 18 all up or something... cause god knows there was no game that could take up an entire CD back then :O

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).

      EMU Classic. For what I need it to do I see no reason to upgrade. Link and Haltech would both cost an extra chunk of money for a lot of unutilized features
