That’s right.
I am about to brave through he action game, sequel to Duke Nukem 3D and over 10 years in the making.
There’s gonna be potty humor. There’s gonna be trashiness. There’s gonna be outdated and unfunny depictions of macho men. There’s gonna be offensive and cruel interactions with women.
For god’s sake, you start the game pissing into a urinal! Its really vital to the plot to do that?You bet I’ll be blogging about how I feel about it all when its done. As a computer science major, programming and gaming culture tend to go hand-in-hand, so this game has definitely been on my list of junk to tear apart.
In the meantime, here’s a few reviews to whet your appetite:
