" If this comes out, I can't WAIT to hear Jeff's reaction!! "

You're fucking kidding me, right?

Hey guys, I've got all this money, any idea what I should bet it on?

Really? Well, they wont get my money.

" Gearbox will never release a game again. Calling it. "

No matter what happens, critics are going to tear the final game apart.

Can't wait to play online DNF with Gamespy matchmaking!

" I'm buying this game day 1 even if it's terrible. This is a part of gaming history.  "

Fast forward to 2023 and Gearbox has gone out of business and DNF is still not out.

I really hope in reviews they say "Would have been better if they had spent more time on it"

" Hey guys, I've got all this money, any idea what I should bet it on? "

Duke Nukem Forever = DNF = Do Not Finish? 
 
A sign me thinks....

Now that it is actually coming out, what will I have to put down on my E3/TGS predictions? What will I say when someone asks me "What game are you most looking forward to?" SHIT man. My whole philosophy has been shaken to it's core. I always bet on Duke...coming out next year. What the hell am I supposed to bet on once Duke is out already?
 
But seriously. Awesome news. Sorta.

Pretty much my thoughts. I'm not expecting anything more than average, but I'm definitely buying it. "

Now seems like a good time to take a trip down memory lane, shall we?
 

I seriously wouldn't be surprised if their office was destroyed by a tornado, fire, or isolated earthquake. You're dealing with forces beyond your control here, Gearbox...

So assuming this game actually comes out and ends up being god-awful, how long will it take for people to say: "OMG Gearbox ruined it! It's all their fault!"?

Finish the balls of steel!

I'll buy it....even if it sucks. Just to say "Yo I own DNF!"

This will be the biggest launch party ever.

I like it, but hate it at the same time. :/

"But at least it's actually coming now, right?" No. That's not an "at least". The "at least" was "at least it's finally dead now", when 3D Realms finally gave up on it. Now, it will never end. This stupid bullshit all begins again, and we will never be free.

Doesn't Gearbox have better things to do than push this damn boulder uphill?

I don't care what anyone thinks. I'm playing shit game.

I still think it won't come out. Zero confidence in any release date for this game.

Holy fucking shit.

FUCKKKYESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Another UE3 based game with horrible FOV? .... Don't fuck with my Duke or you'll be sorry.

I saw screenshots of this back in 1997 in Swedish PC Gamer, the article was about the most anticipated games to come out in 1998 :-)
Yeaaah, Duke... Don't let me down!

Dda, wahhhh???? Huh?...... Wait what?

Hail to the King baby!

If the game is good, i'll buy it if not it'll get left on the shelf like any other rubbish.  15 years of development only makes a good story not a good game.....at this point I rather watch the making of doc than play Duke Nukem.

i want a pool mini game where you can use duke's balls of steel as the cue.

If they can manage to keep it Duke and not make it into some twisted mutant child of Duke and Borderlands this could be awzome.

Those who take on the DN franchise are doomed to fail, Gearbox's bankruptcy is now an inevitability.

I kind of expected this after all the not-so-subtle hints from several of the parties involved. While I agree with Jeff that I'd rather see Gearbox's time and talent go elsewhere, at least now we know the game is in good hands.
 
Judging by the footage released before, DNF seriously doesn't look that bad. Nothing revolutionary, by far, but at the very least, it looks fun to play. 
 
But goddamn...this game was starting development when I was fucking NINE. I'm definitely buying it day one, if not for just being able to say I own it. I'd by lying if I said I'm not excited for it...not so much for the game itself as much as I am for the fact that it's actually being released after all these years.

Always bet on Duke.

So is their going to be a collector's edition of videos from like 13 years ago? If so I'm so buying it. 

I really cannot wait to hear jeff's reaction on the podcast for PAX

bummer. I much rather see more borderlands. 

The Borderlands sense of humor should serve Gearbox well if they want to try and catch the utter ridiculousness that was Duke Nukem 3D.

Hail to the King!  So glad to have this game out in the open.  

Call me when it's out. Until then, I no longer have the capacity to care.

im actually pretty stoked. ill buy this game even if it sucks just to completely close the book on this dnf story.

Next spring the game won't ship and there will be no word of it. It will be a noshow at E3. In 2014 rumors will begin circulating again.

always bet on the duke of sandwiches
