I couldn't believe what I was reading. The very reliable folks I've worked
closely with since 1996 at PC Gamer Magazine met with the developers of our
beloved Duke. Although there was somewhat of a gag order about what they
could say, they did see the characters in final form, the objects, creatures
and weapons and some maps. The game will not be revealed at this year's E3
convention, but will most likely debut in 2006, the 10th anniversary of
Duke3D.
I klnow we are all skeptics, but, Gamer writes in part:

"...we were treated to an unprecedented presentation of Duke Nukem Forever -
the real deal - courtesy of George Broussard. Though it's still too early
and rough for 3D Realms to unveil the game in these pages, we are able (and
delighted!) to report with our own eyes tha DNF is up and running in very
fine form indeed"

They go on to say that everything was thrown out in late 2002, and 3D
started over, with their own rendering technology. Broussard kept a "poker
face" when pressed to committ to a release date, or admitting that he is
suckering everyone.. PC Gamer, however, said:

"But our 20 minute walkthrough of Duke Nukem Forever convinced us that 3D
Realms is going to lay a full house on the table in 2006..."

So, what do you think? KC, Nutwrench, Duke Meisters everywhere, is there
really a light at the end of this nearly 10 year tunnel?
