My new script pitch for Duke Nukem is a guy who rolls around in a big rear end car with gold plated everything because hes famous and gets to gently caress everyone because he saved the world and all the strippers. He drives into a gas station and looks into the camera while filling up his car.

DUKE ** "time to pump baby!" **

He then drives off, the camera zooms in on a diamond encrusted license plate which reads "DUKE" in capital letters.

DUKE ** "Its time to kick bubblegum and chew rear end." **

He then begins having strange dreams about being a creepy alcoholic uncle, and slowly starts to wonder if the dream self is the true self.

That is my pitch anyway. Feel free to share your great ideas about Duke Nukem.

I think there are many elements to The Duke. There are elements that are timeless, and there are elements that are very much the product of its era and have aged poorly. Some would choose to focus on those elements that stick out now, as if they and the inevitable controversy are the whole point of the character. They would treat him as the embodiment of that bygone era's virtues and flaws. But that would be a mistake.

The real story of Duke Nukem, the timeless, universal story that can still resonate with the modern audience, is the tale of a confident, charismatic man who is here to kill those loving pigs.

I think Duke Nukem could work if they played him like Bruce Campbell plays Ash in Ash vs. the Evil Dead.

Yeah he's a sleazy, trashy rear end in a top hat who is long past his prime, but somehow elevates these traits to the level of pathos.

Ion Fury is good and brings modern gameplay controls to a Duke Nukem 3D aesthetic.

I heard a spot on NPR where some chefs and food nerds debated the urban legend that the calamari at a lot of restaurants is actually sliced rings of deep fried pork rectum.

Initially no one was convinced, but they set out to do a bind taste test and were profoundly disturbed when the end products looked and tasted extremely similar. Just a little something to keep in mind! :tipshat:

Hay nada mas,
Oh si' my way!
Based on sheer body mass alone, an older John Cena (ala "Peacemaker") might be a good Duke.

Bruce Campbell could be Duke's Dad.

At school when everyone was talking about to Lara Croft nude cheat my friend Thomas Fell was going around purporting a Duke Nukem 3D nude cheat where Duke would be nude when you see him in the mirror and the light foot would be naked. He said that an additional benefit to having the Jude cheat active was that loads of women would show up in game to help you fight the aliens because the Duke was hanging dong

The octobrains are just probing him though and both realities may be false, it's ambiguous. He breaks out of the alien science lab and kills most of them before collapsing dimensions by singing karaoke and aligning both dimensions and he becomes 2d.

Duke Nukem's name will be changed to Duke Cannon so the show can supplement its lovely budget with that sweet tactical soap sponsorship money.

I remember playing the shareware demo for this so much that when I finally got my hands on Duke 3D, I actually did have a "wait what the gently caress he talks??" moment. :corsair:

Duke Nukem voice: I know what you want. Oh sure, they may have tried to separate us, but what we have is too strong, it’s too powerful. I mean, after all, we shared everything, you and I. I told you my deepest, darkest secrets. I showed you exactly what people are capable of. I shocked you with my honesty, but mostly I challenged you and made you think. And you trusted me, even though you knew you shouldn’t. So we’re not done, no matter what anyone says. And besides, I know what you want: You want me back. Of course, some believed everything and have been waiting with bated breath to hear me confess it all. They’re just dying to have me declare that everything said is true and that I got what I deserved. Wouldn’t that be easy? If only it was so simply; only you and I know that it’s never that simple, not in politics and not in life. But you wouldn’t believe the worst without evidence, would you? You wouldn’t rush to judgments without facts, would you?… Did you? No, not you. You’re smarter than that. Anyway, all this presumption made for such an unsatisfying ending. And to think it could’ve been such a memorable sendoff. If you and I have learned nothing else in these past few years, it’s that in life and art, nothing should be off the table. We’re not afraid, not of what we said and of what we did, and we’re still not afraid. Because I can promise you this: If I didn’t pay the price for the things we both know I did do, I’m certainly not going to pay the price for the things I didn’t do. Oh, of course they’re going to say I’m being disrespectful, not playing by the rules. Like I ever played by anyone’s rules before. I never did, and you loved it. Anyhow, despite all the poppycock, the animosity, the headlines, the impeachment without a trial, despite everything—despite even my own death—I feel surprisingly good. And my confidence grows each day that soon enough, you will know the full tru—Oh wait a minute. Now that I think of it, you never actually saw me die, did you? Conclusions can be so deceiving. Miss me?
