    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."

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