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.
If they want some new one-liners perhaps they should send a spy over to Bruce Campbell's house. He's actually pretty cool in person and will spit out one liners like you wouldn't believe.
After all, it wouldn't be like they've never used his material before....

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...

You know there is a statistical correspondence between higher education and liberal political views.
In Capitalist America, bank robs you!
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).
But then again, you _live_ in Texas. That would count as cruel and unusual punishment.

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.
No one from New York? Great, our best pool of shit talking talent is untappable. Why, I'll send them an email so nasty they'll need a nurse to pull it out!

Someone else has already mentioned that the contest is only open to "legal residents of the United States, excluding Florida, New York, and Rhode Island"...
:)
Anybody else find it kind of strange that the game is set in New York, yet New Yorkers can't win the contest?

I'm kickin your ass like an 80 year old that can't work a mouse.

You've been r00t3d!
Just goes to show all you have to do is watch
Never mind the /. story being us-centric. What sucks are the contest conditions:
"12. Eligibility. This Contest is open to legal residents of the United States, excluding Florida, New York, and Rhode Island".
