Everyone talks about the Gene Stealer plastic surgery but everyone overlooks the time they meet the Emperor in extreme senility/multiple personalitiess or the space marine captain who just leaves a battle and his brothers to support an Inquisitor on his quest for true love.

Also Ian Watson may have written the first punlished story about a sex robot.

i mean that can be played off as BL not having the full canon set down. the emperor was vague as gently caress in the early days if i remember and this was pre horis heresy.

also if your not a 40k grognard. genestealers look like this.



It's even better when (unless I'm mistaken) that was when Genestealers still primarily had the classic purple-&-blue colors.



I was in shock, though, when I realized that quote wasn't made up, and it occurred to me that if there is such as thing as alternate time lines, then there's one where Kubrick did make a film based off Inquisitor, and that terrifies me.

The podcasts have sometimes struck me as the TTS cast not being completely in character in their execution, so it came off more as Zegram's (the voice actor for Magnus) reaction to the book rather than Magnus's reaction in-character.

Then again, Magnus and the Thousand Sons are all about seeking lost, forbidden knowledge, so stuff like that is probably right up his alley.

I only come out when it is wet.
I totally dig the "outdated and oblivious Duke idea." A friend and I played DNF and tried to spitball a better story to hang a better game on.

Things we came up with:

- Duke super-franchising his name and likeness on everything a la Krusty the Clown. So there's Duke Burger, but there's also Duke Brand Stationery, Duke Urinal Cakes, Duke Multivitamins, and the official Duke Nukem Pregnancy Test (the box art is just his dumb face giving the thumbs up). Of course, nothing worked and led to a wide array of lawsuits which he lost because Duke tried to represent himself in court.

- Duke having been married and divorced at least a dozen times.

- The game opens with a shot of Duke's mansion, surrounded by a makeshift metal fence with a sign reading: FORCLOSED. The scene pans to a trailer, where Duke currently lives.

- Have Duke start with a total dad bod. Muscles upstairs, but a pot belly below. We'd have Duke fight his first mission in his bathrobe and bunny slippers (both Duke brand).

- The new big bad can't believe how much of a joke Duke has turned into and blows up his mansion for fun, which of course sets off Duke on what he sees as his big come back tour.

Mokinokaro posted:

pretty much yea. Like said they even gave Wang a bit of emotion to make it more than pure gooftimes, you just can't take a dude who's all 'I'm here to put my gun in your rear end in a top hat and gently caress big tittied women' seriously any more, the trope is dead. Either change him or, even better, turn it from a big sexy power fantasy into a fun escapist comedy and change almost nothing but tone.

Like if I told you right now in 2019 there was a game coming out where you shot pig cops and other stupid aliens because they blew up his favorite stripclub and he's this jacked dude with a blonde flat top who constantly taunts his enemies and hits on anything that moves in his eyeline as he fights them with various silly weapons as well as normal bullet wall spitting action movie machine guns and big rear end deagle pistols and poo poo.

How would you possibly think it's a serious game? Just make the jokes more about Duke and the world around him than him just throwing a turd at a guy and going 'haha gently caress you shitface I put poop on you'.

i feel like you still have to make him somewhat well meaning, like he can be some weird creep or someshit(i mean he never fully was one but you know) he has also always been progressive least according to comics and stuff. so its not that hard to make him well meaning. just stupidly out of touch.

it'd be funny if he was one of those 'hey baby wanna go back to my place, because consent is important even as I sexually harass a stranger' dudes as if understanding consent was some radical act. Like have him constantly making jokes about wanting to gently caress anyone attractive but also get upset at the idea of hooking up with a drunk girl or something. You know, Austin Powers style, horndog manchild but at least understands the base level of 'well everyone should have fun and be willing though'.

That'd probably be enough to get him called Cuck Nukem or something by the chud crowd.

I think Jeff on one of Giant Bomb’s podcasts suggested Duke being exactly the same, but the world around him has changed and barely tolerates his shtick because he’s still the only one who take on the aliens. So everyone half-heartedly humors or is super passive-aggressive when forced to interact with him.
