    Well, short version is, theoretically:

    Magos is a plant.
    Magos posts 'viral marketing scheme'.
    We catch on, thinking he's just fucking with us.
    In actuality, it IS a viral marketing scheme.
    By making us think he's just a fool making a bad fan-movie, the viral marketing succeeds.

    And, if the game gets further delayed...heh... They can just all pretend it was a fan made thing all along... But somehow I don't think 3D Realms is that clever.

    Pfft, 3D Realms have kept people strung along for 10 freaking years, they have this really brilliant game, far beyond what modern computers can handle decently, and when they finally do release it, with minimal fanfare, it'll sell 1 billion copies just because they can.

    Slash will get 2 for being such a die hard reservation holder : b
    Where I said they have this really brilliant game
    I'm lying
    They'll be the first company ever to sell 1 billion boxes with a large GOTCHA! sticker in it

    Someone just kick that bastard out of this forum.

    Because making people excited for nothing just to promote your crappy video doesn't go well with me.

    EDIT: But, if someone can prove this video to be legit, then you will be my good sir.

    I have this recurring dream, where I buy Duke Nukem Forever, and I open the box right there in the store to see if its really real, but then as soon as I flip open the lid a flood of spiders comes pouring out of it... and then I wake up.

    What's up with that?

    At least it beats the dream I had once where I was visiting my old elementary school at night and start being chased by school children. For some reason I was limping, so they all caught up with me, and ate me. I still don't get it.

    Regardless of magos being a cock, that video pretty much confirmed to me that Duke Nukem is a complete anachronism. His voice made me shudder... how did we ever think he sounded cool?

    I can't wait for this game to suck major major major balls.

    I'm sure this observation has been made a million times before but I find it quite amusing that DNF also stands for "did not finish."

    The obvious joke is the games title itself, you don't need to go into making acronyms out of it, the jokes already there.

    This is your first post. You tell me.

    I wont fully believe Duke Nukem forever is out until 3 months after it has been on store shelves and I have completed it 5 times.
