Duke Nuekem Forver…For Real This Time

Jan 24, 2011 By Sharon Feliciano in video games

There is finally a confirmed release date for Duke Nukem Forever: May 3, 2011.
Here’s the trailer (Warning: definietly not kid-friendly):

After twelve years the graphics could be better, but that’s not really the point now, is it?

For those not sure why this release is a big deal read the Wikipedia article. This game, the sequel to Duke Nukem 3D (with platform Duke Nukem titles having been around since 1991) a relatively ground-breaking FPS (you played a character with a name, a face and a back story and the game prominently featured adult subject matter) has been in development hell since it was announced in 1997. Screen shots for the highly-anticipated game started leaking in 1999 and at one point the developers said it would be released “When it was done”.

They are clearly playing on our sense of nostalgia here. I don’t get the feeling from the trailer that we are going to see anything revolutionary as far as game play or graphics go. I do get the impression that we will see a lot of gratutitous boobs.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m totally excited to get my hands on this, and play it after the kids are sound (like really, really sound) asleep.

Disney Princesses Need Not Apply

Disney Princesses need not apply.

I just found this ThinkGeek shirt via a picture posted over on Geek Dad on a post about stories featuring female characters. I actually haven’t read the post yet, as the picture of the shirt got me right over to ThinkGeek. I think I may get this for Kitty for her upcoming birthday. She’s obsessed with princesses right now. Thankfully much of her playacting involves swords (she was Princess Assassin yesterday at one point) and very few princes.

Geeky Hostess Posts a WOW themed bathroom that will make you pee your pants.

This will blow your mind. I’ve always thought that bathrooms were the perfect room to really go all out with themes. As a kid my bathroom showed my mother’s affinity for vintage Mickey Mouse, replete with a giant “Steamboat Willie” shower curtain. When I went to college my apartment bathroom was covered in pin-up girls and Super-Dad and I rocked a Spiderman bathroom for awhile before switching to our current “We are grownups….really” flowery decor. Bathrooms are generally small and no one takes them seriously, so I figure you can really go to town without making people raise their eyebrows.

The Geeky Hostess is currently featuring a bathroom that will put all other themed baths to shame: a World of Warcraft/Horde themed powder room that will blow your mind. Here’s a sneak peak, visit The Geeky Hostess for more:
