In what must be the greatest escalation of a silly message board meme in the history of the Internet, Grimoire Assembly Forge today officially announced they're developing Dudebro: My S*** is F***ed Up so I Got to Shoot/Slice You II: It's Straight-Up Dawg Time for the PC.
Just what the hell is Dudebro: My S*** is F***ed Up so I Got to Shoot/Slice You II: It's Straight-Up Dawg Time, besides a title as awesome as it is long? Stay with us: It started as a joke on NeoGAF, where a member defended his enjoyment of Imagine: Babyz Fashion by saying there was nothing wrong with him just because "I don't want to play Dudebro, My S*** is F***ed Up So I Got to Shoot/Slice You II: It's Straight-Up Dawg Time."
It was a jokey title made up on the spot, but then the fake title got its own thread, its own submissions for hypothetical gameplay features, its own mock logo, and now it has ballooned into a full-blown game being developed be aforementioned Grimoire Assembly Forge -- a group comprised of over 100 unpaid volunteers dispersed throughout the world.
"DudebroTM II follows the exploits of elite soldiers John DudebroTM and his sidekick Habemus Chicken as they chase anyone who threatens the world's brodiocity -- an arms dealer, a voodoo priest, an evil glee club and more," the official announcement reads (via Shacknews). "Along the way, they'll have to fight through swathes of expendable enemies, including aliens, zombies and even yetis."
Believe it or not, they've even recruited Jon St. John, the man who voiced Duke Nukem, to provide his vocal talents for Dudebro: My S*** is, Etc. "DudebroTM II both parodies and pays homage to some of mainstream video gaming's most prevalent tropes: super-macho protagonists, excessive violence and profanity, chauvinistic overtones and rampant immaturity. But it also pays respect to old-school gaming, with power-ups, pixel art story sequences and ridiculous boss fights."
There's no launch date set yet, but you can keep tabs on the project at
www.dudebro2.com, where Dudebro: My, Etc. will be available for free when released.

Free Dawg-Time? How can you say no?
I never asked for this!
Need some smelling salts bro?
Yeah cause it doesn't sound a thing like him.
I never asked for this!
It, um, is him.
Or am I missing some sarcasm/commentary over the internet?
Shit is significantly less ethereal than it used to be. Powers of 10 less ethereal.
You talk clean and bomb hospitals, so I speak with the foulest mouth possible

I'm fairly certain your antivirus client will consider the executable a virus, and put it into the vault.
60% likely.
According to the articles I've been reading it IS the guy who did Duke Nukem.
Quick, send an E-mail to Hussie.
That is probably the ONLY reason I'm interested in this game. And Duke Nukem.
Yeah, I will likely play it for the same reasons I played Barkley Shut up and Jam! Gaiden.
...What is this you speak of?

I've been following this whole saga since the beginning (I lurk there), and it still cracks me up.
I actually named one of my iPod playlists as that entire title, because it's one of my gym playlists that features metal, hard rock and butt rock, and there are fewer things greater than hearing the iPod Shuffle voiceover voice read out "Dudebro My Shit is Fucked Up So I Got to Shoot Slash Stab You Two: It's Straight-Up Dawg Time."
