The Duke Is Finally Back, For Real
After the first announcement on 1997-04-27 and over eleven years of fresh start after fresh start, Duke Nukem Forever finally comes to your system. At least if your system is an Xbox 360. Jon Siegler, the webmaster of 3D Realms, confirms this on their site: "As has been reported around the net today, we can confirm that the game has indeed passed final certification with Microsoft on Friday the 15th of August (on our first try, no less). That means the game is done — it is now in the hands of Microsoft." Update: 08/19 10:47 GMT by T : Several readers have written with a correction: this announcement is actually about Duke Nukem 3D, rather than Duke Nukem Forever.
Standby, I'm seeing pigs flying outside my window.
I've always known that the Apocalypse would fall on a Tuesday.
The announcement is about Duke Nukem 3D on XBLA, not Duke Nukem Forever.
A Duke Nukem Forever article posted on slashdot, has this ever happened before ?

Lets hope the game actually gets released before we have to read another 800+ articles about it
I knew the story must be wrong when it said Duke Nukem Forever was being released. That's not something that happens so it's clearly nonsense.
It is no longer uncommon to be uncommon.
No, /. editors not checking the actually story is not a sign of the Apocalypse.
It's more on the scale of "a sign that /. is not a real news source".
Given your low uid, if you haven't realised this by now its probably something you shouldn't worry about...

Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria... Duke Nukem Forever

After I read the summary I called my boss at home and quit. I then drained our bank account and blew it all on hookers and booze. Now you tell me it was false alarm????? When my wife wakes up what she'll do will make the Apocalypse look like a trip to Disneyland. Note to editors, please fact check articles before posting summaries.
When noone else RTFA on /. why would the editors?
Much love /.
Why did you do that in the first place? if the End is coming, certainly it means you're just hours away from stripper factories and beer volcanoes.
The Guide is definitive. Reality is frequently inaccurate.
It should be edited to say, "Kdawson is Finally Back, For Real." Gaze upon him ye fact-based, and despair.
We're not the ones with a decade of bullshit promises that we've never delivered on.
You're thinking of Will Wright. The DNF team has been making promises for more than a decade.

Tropical storm blowing outside, sky all dark, internet out so I'm having to use neighbor's wifi, and now I thought for a moment Duke Nuke'em Forever was finally coming out. I expected to see another sign of the apocalypse at any moment!

DN3D != DNF
Article Summary == Wrong
Editors == Fail
Yes, but who tagged it "epicfail?"
It's "3D Realms" that failed, not Epic.
Clearly, that's an entirely different company.
If it's for-profit but free, you're not the customer -- you're the product (e.g., the Slashdot Beta's "audience").
