I get that the whole "HL2:E3 is like Duke Forever" thing is said as a joke, but it's not that funny. The connections are just too small. Yeah, episode 3 is taking a long time. Still, 3D Realms took TWELVE YEARS to not release DNF. TWELVE YEARS! The first Half-Life isn't even 12 years old yet. Unless you're suggesting that work began on episode 3 before the first Half-Life even came out, there is just no comparison.
Also, what did 3D Realms release between Duke 3D and DNF's cancellation? A Duke 3D expansion and Shadow Warrior. Valve has released HL2, Counterstrike: Source, Day of Defeat: Source, Ep. 1, Ep. 2, Portal, TF2, L4D, and L4D2 since 2004 and are releasing Portal 2 this year. That's a lot more productive than 3DR.
