Then don't.

He spent 10-12 hrs per day testing hardware compatibility and
performance. He said the game is better than anything he's ever seen.

I heard the same line of crap about 4 years ago when people were saying how
they were testing Duke 4ever with the unreal engine.  YOU CAN'T BETA TEST
VAPOR WARE.

Bullshit what?  If you didn't arrive at this newsgroup yesterday and paid
attention from when Duke 3D was released you would have read some of the
same posts that I did in previous years.

Like I really have a group of peoples names from years ago that posted here.
My feelings were that it was 3DRealms way of keeping people interested in
the game, AKA VAPORWARE..

And it was not only a "his" name but a "her" also posting back then.....it
was years ago.

Well said!

It's a bit sad but I've kind of given up on Duke - I'm pissed of waiting for
this "DN Forever" - just how long does it take to get a game together?

HOW long has this game been in pending now 8 or 9 years.  I think I
only have one version that runs well in windows the others used
special DOS boxes.  this latest pushback has me wondering if this game
will ever be released.  Chips and bits must have a couple of disk
drives full of preorders by now.  If they're still interested anyway. 
this is getting a little ridiculous.

3DRealms don't do outside beta testing.. all it's beta testing is
internal.

If your friend did beta test then he must work for 3DRealms.. if so
post up his email address to confirm.

I know for a fact though that no beta testing took place in February
considering that the physics engine was still getting modified then.

Next time research abit before posting up false facts.
