The Voyager 1 spacecraft has travelled approximately 2,348,783,105 miles since the announcement of Duke Nukem Forever.

The rovers Spirit and Opportunity went from proposal to successful landing on Mars within the timeframe of Duke Nukem Forever’s development.

The majority of the children who were entering high school the school year following Duke Nukem Forever’s announcemnt are now eligible to drink.

Over 5000 Americans have been killed in over 30 terrorist attacks since Duke Nukem Forever was announced (CONSPIRACY!)

The Human Genome Project was completed halfway between DNF’s development and now (five years after announcement).

PVPOnline, Penny Arcade, MegaTokyo and a few others went from being self-hosted gimmicky webcomics to million-reader businesses capable of sustaining their creators between DNF and now.

The Sega Saturn, Dreamcast, 3DO and Sega CD consoles were all discountinued at various times between DNF’s announcement and now.

Old Videogaming systems became a viable collector’s market (games and systems started to become valued at higher amounts then they had originally cost among antiques collectors as well as gamers).

Is it out yet? Because if it is, the world’s gonna end.

3

2.5 BILLION MILES!

Sweet Jesus!

4

Sweet mother of God. :eek:

5

Daaaaamn.

6

Indeed, this is beyond the realm of ‘fashionably late’.

7

I like that one “The Voyager 1 spacecraft has travelled approximately 2.5 billion miles since the announcement of Duke Nukem Forever.” and this one “The majority of the children who were entering high school the school year following Duke Nukem Forever’s announcemnt are now eligible to drink.”. Awesome :P. Where’d you get this?

8

The last three were gotten from a calculation made by a ScienceGoon on the SA forums using the NASA site’s stats on the V1, the others were just from release dates post-DNC announcement

There are, of course, hundreds more games in that list, but I thought these were the more important. The list is pretty much anywhere right now, 'cause it annoys DNF supporters. :stuck_out_tongue:

9

I think this game puts emphasis on the forever part of its name. How can anyone support a single FPS for this freakin’ long :stuck_out_tongue:

10

Why don’t we ask John Romero?

11

DAIKATANA!

12

The only way the game can recover all the respect it’s lost is if it were the best game ever created and nothing will ever surpass it.

I highly doubt that’ll happen though.

13

I don’t even think they’re working on it anymore. They’re just seeing how many idiots keep supporting a game that’s nearly a decade behind schedule.

14

Well, at least they arent driving the series into the ground like Midway is doing mortal kombat…

15

People still follow this game? All I know is that the maekrs still say that it is in the making and “progessing well/nicely.”

16

A forum. The distant future. A still-laughing development team;

“Men went from stating put on Earth to colonising the moons of Jupiter between now Duke Nuken Forever being announced and now”

17

Duke Nukem Never.

18

Funny really really funny. :hahaha;

19

So now Half-Life 2 and CS:Source is out.

Keep on truckin’ guys.

20

At least with HL2 we got actual status updates during its development. And CS: source has been out since HL2 preorders have been acepted (well, maybe a little later than that)

Edit: Only now do I realize you mispelled ‘nukem’ in the topic title.
