Duke Nukem Never(?) and a Poetry Game

Hi y'all!

First of all; still the bestest of friends with Evernote. Using it constantly and it works like a charm. My favorite elephant, ever!

Anyway, I guess most of you've heard the news. They're all over the web now. 3D Realms are shutting down. The company that brought THE game Duke Nukem 3D.

I was actually surprised to hear about it. I was, in all honesty, one of those who thought that Duke Nukem Forever was actually gonna be completed by them. Now, not to say that the game won't see the light of day. Some other dev-team might pick it up. The game still has the same publisher if it were to be finished.

It saddens me that they're shutting down. They've been in business for 22 years, so they're somewhat of an icon for me.

Some facts: http://duke.a-13.net/

There is only one duke

When things are looking down, you have think positive right? So even if I might not be getting Duke Nukem Forever any day soon, I'm still a very happy camper.

Two of my all time favorite games are getting remakes for the XBLA:

TMNT: Turtles in Time
Marvel Vs. Capcom 2

Turtles in Time is without a doubt my favorite Beat 'em Up game ever, bar none! I still play it every now and then. I've managed to beat the game on the hardest difficulty in less than 20 minutes once and I intend to acclompish that in the remake as well!

It looks AWESOME!

And as luck would have it, Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 is my (and many other people's) favorite Fighting game ever! I have it lying next to me at the office as well, since me and a programmer friend at GRIN played it every single day during the lunch break for a couple of months a while back. It's just pure fun!

Awesomeness

There's a screen for TMNT and some gameplay vids for MVC2. Google it.

I love the fact that a lot of games are getting remakes. I loved Bionic Commando: Rearmed and it's a good thing that they're remaking so many JRPG's for the DS. Partly because it's nice that the "younger audience" (man, don't I sound old) get to experience these games, as they are still good and partly because it's an excuse for "veterans" to replay them.

But both those games are coming later, so why not take a break and play a very interesting game right now? Give "Today I Die" a try at: http://ludomancy.com/games/today.html

Today I Die

It's a very experimental... "game" released yesterday. I enjoyed it a lot, once I figured out how to play it. I'll leave it to you to figure it out. I don't want to spoil anything.

After a discussion with one of our LD's, I've decided it's probably time to watch The Glimmer Man with Seagal again! Seen it? #movietip
