Duke Nukem Forever: "Going Gold"
Posted: Wednesday May 25th, 2011 by

It's kind of hard to believe that 3D Realms announced Duke Nukem Forever in 1997. And yesterday, after years of missteps, engine changes, and missed deadlines the game has finally gone gold. The release date is set for June 14th.

So with that bit of business behind us, rewind your GU clocks to October 2005, almost 6 years. That's the first time I made the DNF/Pigs Fly joke. It came on the heels of a release date announcement for a game that at that point was already 8 years in the making.

I've never played the game before, and probably never will. But it's interesting for me look back on a game that I've been talking about for half of GU's life and see the story finally coming to a close.

So who -STILL- has doubts that this thing is actually going to hit the shelf?
