DNF references in Starcraft II

mav · 08-08-2010, 04:36 AM

If you click on Odin long enough you get to hear something about chewing bubblegum and shock and awe.
So even the guys at Blizzard are waiting for Duke's return

JobivanHiob · 08-08-2010, 05:19 AM

shock and awe? Really?

and deep down inside everyone waits for Duke's return!

haha ha

One of the Kotaku Stores

I guess we should not be making fun of them , they're still trying hard to make it.

Altered Reality · 08-09-2010, 02:50 PM

Shock and awe is NOT a reference to DNF. Chewing bubblegum is a reference to Duke3D.

Shock and Awe was mentioned by Siegler (I think) about an upcoming Duke-related announcement.

Altered Reality · 08-09-2010, 03:16 PM

It was also mentioned by Bush in 2003 when he started the Iraq War.

PredatorFL · 08-09-2010, 06:05 PM

Shock and Awe will eventually become a word for future failure but the person who hath speaketh it has no clue.

Like I said Apples in Texas even don't fall far from the tree.

Rapture_Rising · 08-10-2010, 12:17 AM

Jesus Christ people... Stop it with the references.

Oh no... Theres a smudge on my laptop screen that looks like the cigar duke smokes in that trailer, it must be a sign.

Rapture_Rising · 08-10-2010, 05:12 AM

OMG... I was watching Mythbusters and there was a reference to Duke Nukem. It must be a sign

Golden Diva · 08-10-2010, 09:23 AM

Nobody said that a Duke Nukem reference in StarCraft II was a sign of the release of DNF.
I know some people on these forums see signs everywhere but stop being paranoïac.

This thread was only aiming at fun, not at speculation. (or I really didn't understand its purpose at all ...

)

PredatorFL · 08-10-2010, 10:34 AM

DUKE NUKEM IS NIGH!!!

The Mythbusters sneak in to your house at night, and develop DNF on your laptop?

:O

Rösti · 08-10-2010, 12:16 PM

MythBusters should do a whole episode of Duke Nukem Forever to find out if it is a myth or not.

MythBusters in DNF confirmed.

Yeah, but that doesn't make the statement an exclusive references to DNF. It's been used by a LOT of people when talking about a LOT of things.

Oh, Damien....Damien, Damien, Damien. Haven't you learned by now? EVERYthing and ANYthing means DNF.

I took a dump this morning. It was obviously a reference to Duke looking for an alien toilet to park his bricks.

JobivanHiob · 08-11-2010, 08:37 AM

Siegler? It wasn't Siegler! It was Miller!

What's to say the bubblegum reference isn't to "They Live". Which, I believe, was where 3drealms stole the quote from anyway.

Nex.

Well given the fact that the shock and awe remark follows directly to the bubblegum sentence so it's not too far fetched to link it to DNF.
But the fact remains this is no reason for speculation, just a hint to a funny easteregg in another video game.
and since DN3D was full of remakrs to other games or movies why don't enjoy other games doing the same.

Yeah, I know. You say the word "forever" somewhere around here and it's some secret message..
Any of us mods close, lock, or delete a thread... there's a hidden meaning.

And people wonder why I hate the DNF forums.

randir14 · 08-11-2010, 01:35 PM

Shock and Awe is what the government was calling the bombing campaign in the beginning of the Iraq invasion. Since the Odin is a vehicle of mass destruction I'm sure that's what the reference is about.

Well you don't get paid for it, so you could just flip us all the bird and put us all on tachy just to be an ass.....don't let Joe see you doing it though.

That would be funny... a whole forum on the tachy list

Only Joe can place people in Tachy, besides it requires a complete data rebuild of the forums and is a LOT of work. It's not worth the effort.

And yes, we don't get paid for it. And Joe did gives us complete control over how we do things. But, as fans of 3DRealms, we do our best to maintain the style of moderating Joe had in place while he worked for 3DR.

Wow... and i thought you just clicked a button and presto... someones on the tachy list. That just proves how much i know.

TBZ · 08-15-2010, 09:24 PM

The chewing bubblegum lines is probably more of a reference to They Live, rather than Duke3D.

Szynszylak · 08-16-2010, 03:44 PM

true

JAB · 08-17-2010, 02:26 PM

Actually, I believe the Void Rays, if you click them long enough, will say something along the long "Always bet en Void".

Dunno if the "Always bet on Duke" line is from another game, show or whatev, but if it is this might not be Duke specific either.

Szynszylak · 08-17-2010, 03:53 PM

I believe the George B, if you click him long enough, will still say "When it's done".

WarThrash · 08-17-2010, 03:56 PM

I believe Duke, if you wait on him long enough, will come out with another game......

er......or maybe not
