Infinium Tries 'Phantom' Name Change

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the must-stop-from-snickering dept.

simoniker writes "Former Infinium Phantom 'console' developer and current Lapboard accessory creator Infinium Labs has revealed multiple new details in financial filings, including the fact that it's changing company name to Phantom Entertainment, as long as shareholders approve. But with the SEC prosecuting former CEO Timothy Roberts, 'accumulated losses since inception of $69,331,794', and _another_ former CEO, Kevin Bachus, now suing the company for back pay, will the company ever release a product?"

      Can I play it while ascending a space elevator powered by cold fusion, or will it cause the elevator's quantum computer to crash?

      Yes, but it's been announced that Windows Vista will be released for the Phantom. Unfortunately, you'll need to wait for it to be released before you can play your copy of Duke Nukem Forever.

      Yes that's a known issue. A workaround is to fly up there with your flying car instead.

    I love it! That is the best laugh I have had all day. Have them buy 3D Realms and it will be the joke of the year.

    March 2006: Scott Miller, CEO of 3D Realms, announced that the company intends on developing a sequel to Duke Nukem Forever.
