Hail to the King, Duke Nukem Forever: F#@K Call of Duty! A History Lesson in Gaming!

Duke Nukem Forever American Icon

As mentioned in the previous post, I recently beat Duke Nukem Forever – A game that essentially 15 years in the making eventually released with little critical acclaim, but one that should have been given it’s due. Duke Nukem Forever was not for everyone but, having beaten the game, I can say it was made for me as I fit into the 1% of gamers who can appreciate its greatness.

In all fairness, the lack of critical acclaim was due to its place in modern gaming and has no actual bearing on the game itself.

I Just Beat Duke Nukem Forever and…

Duke Nukem Hail to the King Baby

I thoroughly enjoyed the game. Yeah, I bet you didn’t expect that. Hail to the King, baby! This game is great. It had everything in it, that made Duke Nukem 3D so iconic. It had guns, blood and gore, boobs and the classic dialogue that you expect from the Duke.

For a game that was in development for 12 years, you can’t blame them for taking some shots at themselves.

Geeking out on Twitter

Kevin Smith Silent Bob Clerks

The world has become much smaller. Twitter, which I’ve complained about, is all about communication. It’s supposed to be about the conversation. And when people acknowledge your tweets that’s good, but when celebrities acknowledge your tweets, that’s amazing.

Dr. Gregory House, M.D. ~ May he live in peace

Dr. Gregory House MD

The final episode of House was preceded by a very beautiful retrospective. The final episode of House was the culmination of eight seasons. The final episode of House was a nice end to a great series. The final episode of House was a fitting tribute to an extraordinary character. I won’t get the chance to miss Dr. House, he’s in syndication and in that respect, the character and the show will continue to live on.

Dr. Gregory House, was a brilliant character.

My Second Avengers Review – A Focus on Dr. Selvig and a Hole in the Marvel Universe

Dr Selvig Mavels Thor The Avengers

In my first review of Marvel’s the Avengers, I ended with a diatribe about my geekdom getting watered down in the process of making it consumable for the masses. I recently saw the movie a second time and again I thoroughly enjoyed it. There is one thing that I need to discuss, or point out, as an addendum to my first review.

One thing to consider, about my first post, is that everything I said was criticism and it was not meant as a condemnation.
