Things That Will Happen Before DNF Arrives

So not long after George Broussard recanted his famous testimony and said that pigs are about to fly, an official spread in Game Informer drove the point home. But do you realize what we'll all have to sacrifice if Duke Nukem Forever actually releases? No more fun like this.

And therefore, in the spirit of the vaporware this game has been for 13 years, we give you the top 5 things that will happen before "Did Not Finish" actually finishes.

5. The Kansas City Royals will be crowned champions of baseball

Kevin Butler predicted it earlier and it's gonna happen, certainly well before DNF shows up on store shelves. The Royals are having another tough year, but they've got an ace up their sleeve- they're bringing Bo and George out of retirement. Brett will be the first guy since Ted Williams to hit .400 in a triumphant return, Jackson will steal 100 bases, and he'll even catch the final pop fly of the Series barehanded. Call your bookies. This is goin' down next year.

4. Activision will become the most-loved video game company

Sure, they're in the doghouse right now but they're quietly rebuilding that reputation. It'll come out that Bobby really is a hardcore gamer - he probably has a Lv. 70 Druid in WoW - and the company will start sending out surveys to gamers on a weekly basis. "What do you want?" "What can we do to serve you better?" They'll pick up the Final Fantasy series from Square-Enix, make a star-studded team comprised of Atlus, Square-Enix, and BioWare members, and give us Final Fantasy VII-2. They'll be the most beloved industry peeps evah.

3. Microsoft will make a console that works

They'll become the new Nintendo. Instead of breathing on it wrong and getting the RRoD, you could back over Microsoft's new system with your car, and it'll still do everything, including make you a sandwich and tuck you into bed. It'll do all that without failing once; no Disc Read errors, either. And if you call customer service, you won't get the Indian dude who tries to tell you to reboot your machine seven different ways; you'll get a guy who speaks English and stays on the phone for hours until you're happy. No more 33% defective rates. Just indestructible awesomeness.

2. All the hot booth babes at all the events will be hardcore gamers

Every...single...one. There won't be any hot booth chick who can only recite what they've been told. They won't be recruited entirely for the fact that they'll make a picture look good. Hell no. They'll be the biggest gamers you ever did see; they'll not only tell you all about the product in question, they'll tell you what they think. They'll compare it accurately to similar games (all of which they've played). When you tell them you beat Emerald Weapon with no materia, or that you can get the full 200.6% in Castlevania: Symphony of the Night without once looking at the map, they'll just want you. Then they'll tell all their hot friends that they should want you, too.

1. Gabe Newell will make a game for the PS3 and say it'll be the best version-

...wait.

Scratch that.

1. The ultimate game, the game that is a 10 for every gamer alive, will be made

The game doesn't exist that absolutely everyone adores. But all that is going to change. There's no knowing what it'll be but for some bizarre reason, anyone who plays it will be instantly in love. Every critic will be compelled to give it a perfect score, and every fanboy will lay down their nerd spears and happily admit that this one game is the ultimate. It will be lauded as the best ever and in fact, all game designers will be so intimidated, they'll just stop making more games. And nobody will care, because everyone will be happy playing this one game forever.

And that game...will be Duke Nukem Forever.

LOL, of course, and when I get a chance to get it, it goes through maintenance, and watch I swear, when I get home from work, it's going to be suspended again.

Yep, just tried it again, still suspended. what it is is they let ppl grab them at certain times, and it's never when I'm available...ugh

Yes, that was a good read from Ben right there :)

Gabe is another... I guess pigs can fly, and crash and burn too...

The Nukem business is pretty cool, we will have to see how it all works out on that one. At least Gearbox has gotten into gear with the Duke... and hopefully, the results will be good for all to enjoy.

Lol, the M$ point was funny, but hey, the new slim 360 is not that bad, is it now?

I got a good laugh from this editorial and really enjoyed reading it.

I've never played any Duke Nukem games, so I can't pretend to be excited. But if this game ever sees the light of day I will check it out.

Dude!!!!!!!!!!!! you need to play some Duke Nukem 3d. Just download the torrent, it's a small file and well worth it. Great gameplay and awesome level designs. And if you really want to go oldschool download the original Duke Nukem games that are side scrolling platform games.

My Macintosh's ibook hdd fried and I'm unable to replace it, because it's sitting at the very tail end of a complete tear down. I don't think I could put it back together after viewing a "do it yourself" on the web.

So I bought a netbook with an Intel Atom processor. Rated at 1.6ghz, it's still not made for games. I only use a computer for online banking, surfing the web, or listening to music. So I didn't see a need to spend a lot on one. Sorry for the long reply.

Who's Gabe Newell?

CEO of Valve. The Studio that produced Half Life, Left 4 Dead, Portal, Team Fortress 2, etc...

Until recently he was a Sonyphobe... Then all of a sudden he came out on the sony stage during E3 Praising that the best version of portal 2 will be on PS3...

So hopefully that fills you in on the joke... if you don't know Gabe Newell, you don't get the joke :)

Just think... If this Article was written a few years ago, a crack bout the ps3's sales, or the ps3's lack of Advertisements would have been listed here :P

Those pigs flew... But I think this pig's too obese... After all, Anything that sits for 13 years saying they're going to go on the shelf, but Don't go no where, will gain a few pounds...

LOL! Okay, that was great. Duke Nukem Forever. A fable of video gaming, and one that I was pleased to learn about.

But, no more news will be released on the game until E3 next year, they will announce it for release in September. Three weeks before its release, it will be banned as a result of inadvisable content. Gearbox will go back to work on it, and announce a major delay. Eventually, they will reveal that its new release date is the 22nd of December 2012. And we all know what's supposed to happen the day before that right?

BUT, I'm not finished. If the world does not end, the game will not be released as every copy was stolen from every shop in the world by some nefarious schemer. Also, the source code is gone, deleted from existence. As a result of this, each member of Gearbox commits suicide and DNF lives on in myth... To be picked up Activision Blizzard a few months later.

Peace.

Maybe Ben just didn't want to finish his sentence. The dash indicates that to me. 'best version available on consoles.' Anal much?

And who the hell said that DNF is finished? If the levels are indeed finished, then it's probably in alpha. It's called adding polish and stabilising the game. Something you should know about given how often you complain about it. Eh, I couldn't be bothered.

if development is finished that means the game is done, there finished creating and polishing the game and are just waiting till next year for release.
if your still polishing your game, than its not complete now is it?
