Besides the game, what do you want in the Duke Nukem retail box?

Exactly. I'm disappointed that DNF didn't come out 8 or 9 years ago, but it didn't stop me from living my life. I have a lot more people and things to blame for my life being shitty than DNF.

Ya, but kudos for giving it some thought - several of the items would be doable and very cool. Like imagine if they gave the sunglasses and tank top - that would be funny as hell.

Indeed. These people that say, "I want the last 13 years of my life back" are either drama queens, or really had no life.

Well, I am none of those.

I want a cowbell.

[Superrayman3]

the only thing I want in the DNF box besides the game is a written apology from Broussard for all the lies and bullshit he put all of the original staff through and an apology to the fans for all the lies he made

[Zeromaeus]

Something I want in the game, however, is that the first, fifth, tenth, fifteenth, and etc. achievement gives my 360 avatar Duke's sunglasses, shirt, pant, boots, etc.
That would be fun.
It'd match my jetpack.

how do you figure? go ahead and quote one of these dreadfully abused employees of his if you want to make accusations like that.

You might get a "Thank you for your support" some time after you give them your $50.

LOL

A comic of Dukester.

A duke key chain, a poster, a manual. That's about it. And that's the standard edition. Collectors edition, I want duke nukem himself to spend a day a day with me and we go kick ass, get babes, and shit down some necks

[3rdmillhouse]

I want a stripper, with big titties.

The game itself probably won't even be in the box, just a bunch of collectibles with a big fat piece of paper saying Apirl Fools ---> Fine Print: Moron.

I'm sorry being a retard is what I do best, being a 14 year old gives me that advantage. But yeah, that was kind of stupid to post let alone twice. But with doing all the math if the game comes out, it probably won't be until late 2011 to early 2013 based on the ammount of programming that was left when the development team was scrapped and the time delay between the switch in developers. (if it actually did happen) So I find the thread here that says a Christmas release this year for this game a possibility, but unlikely due to the ammount of time it could take to get familiar with the engine and how big the development team is. There is a lot of variables. So anywhere from 2010 - 2013 is possible, but that's if the game doesn't have to switch engines again and it actually isn't cancelled.

how do I figure? Broussard prommised a huge paycheck to the original staff after DNF was released(because they were getting underpaid) will they see this big paycheck since they left 3drealms? probably not so how is Broussard going to compensate the original employees that worked on DNF for all the bullshit he put them through?

[SS202]

Well clearly things aren't 100% settled and it's not really any of our business. You might argue otherwise but it's between the employer and employee.

Employee?

[SS202]

The employer being 3DR and employee(s) being... well, their employees (former employees in this case).

Or was your query to do with how I didn't make 'employee' plural? :P

I was unaware that they had employee(s) at this point. By which I mean they do not. I know you know this too because you just said former. So... what was your point? That the former employees couldn't talk. That's obvious. They're contract-bound.

[SS202]

Sorry I should have quoted in my first post, I was referring to this:

Superrayman3:

I heard there's 3 guys at 3DR now, Scott, George and I think a Brian who I'm not familiar with... but yeah I should have quoted him so it didn't seem like i was commenting out of the blue. I assumed people would think I was referring to the post immediately before mine.

[SS202]

Also, in my DNF box I'd like a Duke poker chip keychain, nuke symbol one side, Duke grinning a stupid smile the other. I'd also like a really detailed book on the 14 or so years that DNF's been in development. Detailing reasoning behind old engine changes, tech created and how it differed/differs to Unreal, all the way up to the lawsuit. I'd most likely read something like that a few times.

I also like the crate idea above with red tank top, glasses, steel cap boots etc, that'd be sweet

Are you crazy? Duke looks like a retarded redneck in that one.
Look at his dumb lips, wrinkley forehead, and cowboy hat. That is not Duke.

[Altered Reality]

A fully functional jetpack, like these.

While I agree with the lips part, apart from that I thought this picture was fairly badass. Oh well can't expect everyone to agree with you.

[Superrayman3]

A little peice of info KO Gilligan when more than one employee that actually worked on DNF says that they were underpaid My acusations as you call them are fair game becuse it's been confirmed

[cof_3pc]

Oh bull! They just say they were under paid now because they scored jobs with much bigger developing companies. When they got the jobs with 3DR though, I bet they felt like the luckiest guys in the world!

Don't misquote me. I never said the word 'acusations', and I didn't say you were wrong.

I said it's none of your business.

and this is your other quote with the actual accusation you say is fair:

So were they underpaid or defrauded?

Apparently they did score great jobs. Maybe they wouldn't have otherwise.

I'd love to see any portfolios they showed off with their DNF work.

"And here is another part of the game I never finished."

"Interesting. Well we have another interview with a guy that worked on COD games tomorrow. We'll give you a call later in the week."

I've only seen maybe 18 months worth of the frequently repeated "make up some cover art" threads, so I won't have seen most of the suggestions over the last 14 years. Having said that, my favourite was the one with a huge explosion in the background in the shape of the famous one fingered salute. I had a link to it somewhere, but lost it a year or more ago.

EDIT:

I found it again: http://forums.3drealms.com/vb/showpo...&postcount=309

I also found one of my suggestions from a couple of years back, made for laughs: http://forums.3drealms.com/vb/showpo...&postcount=412

An empty packet of chewing gum with "It's time" printed on one side.

Did I knock up a picture of it the last time I mentioned the idea, or just describe it? It was so long ago. It had probably been suggested a hundred times before me, anyway.

But then we can't play DNF until we finish chewing the gum! Otherwise, it would be "It's time to... chew bubba-gurm fur a bit.... mmmm... bubba-gurm..." *intermission* "And I'm all out of gum!"
