Duke's All Out of Gum
FortKnox writes: "ARUSH games who are making the next Duke Nukem (Duke Nukem:Manhattan Project) have a contest. Submit a new Duke Nukem trash talkin' line, and if yours is chosen, they'll put it in the game (and they'll give you some other booty, too). I can imagine that they'll want it to be pretty clean, but you could have some serious bragging rights if your line made it." If you're reading Slashdot at 6 AM on Sunday morning (note typical U.S.-centrism), clearly you have the right stuff to quip with the best of them.
Catch phrase has to be clean? What happened to the strip clubs of the future from Duke Nukem 3D? What happened to the colorful cussing that made DN3D what is was?!
"I love the smell of napalm in the morning." "My Spider Sense is tingling!" "Eat hot lead you winged spawn of Satan!" "Do you want your lips back?" "Damb You! Damb you all to Hell!"

- Of, relating to, or involving two or more nations: an international commission; international affairs.
How exactly does being from Croatia (1 nation last time I counted) make Serious Sam "international"??No wonder they don't let you vote for presidents.
Actually, the line is:
"Rommal, you magnifigant bastard! I read your book!"
Equally good would be:
"We're going to grab him by the nose and kick him is the ass!"
"We're going to go through the enemy like shit through a goose!"
"Your job is not to die for your country. Your job is to make the other poor SOB die for HIS country"
Great movie BTW.

Ha! I live in Canada where not only is it cruel and unusual punishment but we also pay a provincial income tax thats 40% of our federal tax
plus 15% tax on anything we buy.
Typical Ontario-centric bullshit. Provincial income taxes vary by province you dumbass. And the Federal "Goods and Services Tax" is 7%; the provincial tax again varies by province. Ontario is 8% which gives you your 15%. I believe that it's Alberta has no provincial tax at all.
Get your facts straight; Lord knows with people like you, Canadians look just as stupid as our southern neighbours. What next, back to the imperial system of measurement?
Now "What next," that's easily seen as stupid by any semi-literate person who knows English.
Actually it's only viewed as stupid by those who have only taken enough English to be able to criticize. Haven't you ever heard of colloquial writing style?
That wasn't a troll (err, not necessarily), since it was a quote from Mad TV. Man, I haven't watched that show for years. (not that I've missed it...)

To hold a sweepstakes or a contest in Florida, the company needs to post bond equal to the total cash value of ALL prizes offered to guarantee that the company can fufill it's promise of prizes.
Florida enacted a law requiring this after thousands of it's elderly residents were scammed by marketing companies promising them riches in contests and sweepstakes.
Thanks to this law, most contest promotion companies believe that the market available in Florida isn't worth the hassle or cost of putting the money up front, so Floridians can't win these promotions.

They HAVE to exclude Florida. If they didn't, any Democrats who didn't win may take them to court, claiming the entry form was unclear on how to type in the entry, and demand a new contest.

We (and people in Tennessee) can't ever enter national contests due to some weird state laws, probably involving taxation of prizes or something. Almost all fine print for contests make Florida ineligable.
On the flip side, we have no state income tax...

It is truly a sad, sad day when the scarisity of Bruce Campbell movies restricts the development of 3D shooters. Surely if the movie studios had seen fit to make more Evil Dead movies there'd be plenty more material for Duke to rip off.
Ha! I live in Canada where not only is it cruel and unusual punishment but we also pay a provincial income tax thats 40% of our federal tax
plus 15% tax on anything we buy.
Yes, it's inversely proportional.

I'm guessing you missed the references to Star Wars: Dark Forces and Indiana Jones too, then. There were a couple of secret rooms, similar to the one with the Doom Marine, featuring corpses of Indy and I believe a Storm Trooper, but I could be wrong (it's been so long since I've played...)

My personal favorite conservative genius is Houston-area Representative Tom "the Arrogant Asshole" DeLay, who is against mass transit for Houston (the largest city in the U.S. with a bus-only mass transit system) even though such a system would cut car traffic and clean up the air.
His district is composed White-majority bedroom communities containing many residents who commute to work in Houston, yet this genius keeps denying Houston money for a rail system even though his constituents would directly benefit from a light rail system.
Real smart, huh? But lets not forget the real geniuses here, the voters who keep returning him to office and subjecting the rest of the country to this fool...

Conservatism in action, I like to call it. Texans are deathly afraid of an income tax, and use a convoluted and inquitable system of local property taxes to pay for stuff like public schools. Consequently, Texas is in the bottom 10% nationwide in many statistics (like paying school teachers).
Houston is choking with auto traffic and the air here is approaching (and freqently surpassing) LA's poor air quality, yet rail transit still is not a reality here. Conservatives don't care because taxes are low here. Many Texans wouldn't mind paying a little more in taxes for a better quality of life but we are prevented from doing so by the conservative White rednecks in charge here.
P.S. re: the alcohol-sweepstakes ban, it is the Bible-belt conservatives who treat citizens like children in Texas. If godless liberals like me were in charge we would treat citizens like adults...

Duke was full of obscure references.
The bubble gum quote comes from the John Carpenter's _They live_
The first level of the game is very closely based on the John Carpenter, _Escape from New York._ I think this is where the "Hail to the king baby" comes from.
Remember the the tip of the hat to ID software? "That's one doomed space marine" and "I ain't afraid of no Quake"
How about all the OJ "Guilty / Innocent" billboards? Well I guess that one wasn't so obscure.
Actually, I really doubt they'll use lines from the Evil Dead Series. Bruce Campbell sued because his 'likeness' was used in the game. Voice, lines, etc.
I think they'll stay away from him in the future.
Its 6am, I'm at work reading slashdot, and the free soda machine is all outta mtn dew...
Like Duke isn't a complete rip off of Ash :-)

"They proably wanted to keep up the damn voters in New York for putting Clintion in the sennet."
You know there is a statistical correspondence between higher education and liberal political views.
In Capitalist America, bank robs you!
I live in New York so my thoughts would be they fear the onslaught of people flooding their networks with suggestions (New York City has about 4 million people alone not including Upstate). On the Florida side of the issue, I think it's because they couldn't determine a President the first time around so the gaming company decided they may not be able to determine a slogan either.
As for Rhode Island, geez they must have like 200 people living there or something, I remember seeing this small town on the news that had like 10 people or something that have forever lived there and had the same mayor for like 40 years or something.
Want Root?
To clarify, ARUSH Entertainment is publishing (not developing, Sunstorm Interactive is developing it) 'Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project', a 3rd-person game in the 'Duke Nukem series'.
'The Next Duke Nukem' is more an attribute of Duke Nukem Forever, which is in perpetual development by 3D Realms (the original Duke Nukem 3D publisher/developer).

What if you are reading it on the day you are getting married?? Does that count for anything?
Anybody else find it kind of strange that the game is set in New York, yet New Yorkers can't win the contest?
Actually the game is set in Nevada. Las Vegas to be more specific.
On the other hand, if you want to try your pen at cool quips, maybe you should do it for Serious Sam instead. He's more international (since he's from Croatia) and cooler because his engine rocks and has features id hasn't even done. After all, Croteam DID invent this contest, which I guess will become one more thing Duke rips off. (http://www.croteam.com/quotes)

From what I remember, I think a lot of the sounds in Duke Nukem 3D came from Army of Darkness, which is a fun pseudo-horror movie from the 80s.
So, I found a manuscript on some poor schmuck's fan page that I hope you people don't slashdot into weblivion. Grep away, folks!
By the way, Army of Darkness was actually the third in a trilogy including Evil Dead and Evil Dead 2 (info here) so feel free to get cool samples from those too.
And for the real geeks, episode 107 from the first season of South Park is a take off on the first Evil Dead.

I liked the old series better... back when men were real men, 2D was king, and sound effects were scarce. Back then, you didn't need the challenge of LAN gaming. Playing a game with a friend ment one did the killing, as the other stood behind and watched. I feel sad for the teens of present, not knowing the roots of gaming today.. :-/

Oh, and since we are at it; now that we all have expensive 3D hardware, where are the big open spaces in 3D games? Why do we still feel we are trapped in some small room instead of a biiiig, open, (maybe outdoor) location? Why dont you feel you are entering a large hall, instead of a small room with two or maybe three floors? What happened to the real hangars, or depot buildings? The massive space ships, endless pits and towers, filled with 50n levels or something? All in the same space? If you want an open 3D first-person environment in a game, consider Starsiege Tribes 2
