      "I've personally about had it with Game publishers. If you can't ship a finished product in a playable form then maybe it's time to get into a differant business."

      Maybe you should take up console gaming. You don't get any of that bullshit, and you'll be part of a growing industry, as opposed to the declining PC gaming industry.

      Jump from the sinking ship while you have a chance! A console is a toy, a computer is a tool. Play with a toy, not your tool!

      "Doubtful, the game's being developed by Silicoids."

      They should have sent some Darlok spies over to Blizzard to steal some research then.

    On other news:

    3DRealms has announced that in order to meet the expectations of fans for Duke Nukem Forever, and to give them a better idea of WHEN it will be ready, it will stick to its promise to deliver a flying car with every box of the game.

    "Actually, the game has been almost ready for some time..." said an anonymous insider source, "we've just been trying to bring down the costs of this flying car thing for the last couple of years."

    "Isn't Windows that MS OS? And isn't MS the company that does really bad and illegal stuff, undermining yours and my rights, bribing it's way around every law that apears in sight?"

    Well it is ironic that the point of the game is to be like Microsoft.
