Duke Nukem Forever Someday

Joe Siegler · 04-25-2006, 09:48 AM

Today brings some rather funny news; we were mentioned in today's FoxTrot comic strip. In this entry, Bill mentions Duke Nukem Forever as a reason for one of the characters (Jason) to buy an iFruit (the FoxTrot nickname for one of the new Macs that runs Windows). As usual, the toon is darn funny.

Thanks again to Bill for the mention! You can read more info about FoxTrot either at it's official site here, or over at Wikipedia.

So DNF is # 3 out of 1000?

not bad, not bad...

ADM · 04-25-2006, 10:02 AM

Haha! That's great

Kalki · 04-25-2006, 11:08 AM

Yeah... and for a second there, the thread title made me think Joe was trolling!

trackit · 04-25-2006, 11:52 AM

It seems to me Jason didnt read the sticky thread!!!

Read this before posting - THIS MEANS YOU!

and so true.

Micki! · 04-25-2006, 02:25 PM

Haha, that was funny...

I liked the overall point of the comic rather than the mention of DNF though...

DOSGuy · 04-25-2006, 03:21 PM

Awesome. I love the pop culture references in that series. The DNF reference is funnier the more of a nerd you are.

Water12356 · 04-25-2006, 04:30 PM

Haha Foxtrot does it again.

Little Conqueror · 04-25-2006, 04:31 PM

3DR should give Bill a free copy when it comes out for all the free plugs!

Amakou · 04-25-2006, 05:27 PM

Most people are probably sitting there going..."What's 'Duke Nukem Forever'? Are they making a new Duke game?" Then they google it and end up here. That's what I did.

~Amakou~

Vivi · 04-25-2006, 08:44 PM

I <3 Foxtrot.

Always a funny strip, every day.

George Broussard · 04-25-2006, 09:09 PM

I thought that was awesome. That's the second time Foxtrot has mentioned Duke.

Amakou · 04-25-2006, 09:19 PM

Really? When was the first?

~Amakou~

All0uttaGum · 04-25-2006, 09:57 PM

2 years ago they also had Jason joke about whether he was going to be old enough to play Doom 3 when it came out (making Amend an equal-opportunity offender, and a double-joke in how it pokes fun of how most comic strip characters don't age.)

ADM · 04-26-2006, 12:31 AM

That was the first mention back in 1997.

jimbob · 04-26-2006, 12:58 AM

haha, too cool

but i fail to immagine what a "cuisinart ray" would look like

maybe there should be a thread where people can link to duke nukem ( forever ) related comics because there seem to be quite a bit

[edit]

here`s an uncyclopedia article about the duke

This one is awesome

Kalki · 04-26-2006, 06:48 AM

Without DNF, Iraq is screwed!

Rider · 04-26-2006, 07:36 AM

You wouldn't believe the hyperventilating I did when this showed up on my Live bookmarks.

I could've guessed, but still

(cool comic btw

)

I had the opposite reaction:
What is it about this time. It is probably a joke again.

lonestar · 04-26-2006, 10:12 AM

funnily, my heart just stopped and my eyes got big, although i'm tired like some human head employee.

had the feeling as if the headline changed.

Third, actually, although this is the first time Duke Nukem Forever was mentioned by name. The other times were June 1, 1997 and Jan 9, 1998.

I also updated the story on our main webpage with an update containing an email from Bill Amend to Charlie Wiederhold (Bill said it was OK for me to publish that). (Link) Bill also emailed me in response to my telling him the strip was funny, but Charlie's was a better reply.

As for the remark about the characters in FoxTrot not aging, you should read the Wikipedia entry for FoxTrot. That issue is specifically discussed (in the "Passage of Time" section).

Orochi Avlis · 04-26-2006, 11:25 AM

Classic stuff.

Micki! · 04-26-2006, 03:05 PM

Bill's response made me chuckle
