Se você conhece o mundo dos videogames, provavelmente conhece Duke Nukem Forever, ou pelo menos ouviu falar da história (ou ainda, da “novela”). Calma, se você não conhece ou não curte, continue lendo, vale a pena.

Duke Nukem é um personagem durão, conhecido por destruir alienígenas e salvar o mundo várias vezes em seus games, além de ser mulherengo e legal pra caramba.

Depois de Duke Nukem 3D, seu mais famoso game, poucas versões de games do herói foram lançadas (ou pelo menos, poucas versões que valessem a pena). Existe, porém, desde 1997, a promessa do maior e melhor game de Duke, Duke Nukem Forever. Durante esses 12 anos, foram milhares de reviravoltas no desenvolvimento do game, que foi cancelado e voltou a vida, foi renovado várias vezes, passou por problemas jurídicos e muita coisa que não quero gastar este post para explicar (Vejam mais AQUI).

Cada vez que o assunto de Forever volta a tona, os fãs se manifestam à sua maneira. Desta vez, porém, algo estranho se manifestou, um vídeo que acabou sendo chamado do culto de cxiam veti sur duke. Ele fala, em tom de previsão mística (e bem assustadora, diga-se de passagem), sobre a inevitabilidade de Duke Nukem Forever. A mensagem pode ser tanto direcionada aos desenvolvedores quanto aos fãs. Confesso que fiquei com um pouco de medo do vídeo, que, se analisarmos, realmente pega emprestado alguns símbolos de magia e é bem bizarro no geral.

Confiram:

Abaixo, a transcrição da fala e uma tradução/adaptação rápida:

“You can kill us, set us on fire, skin us, beat us and rape us, but you can never stop Duke Nukem Forever. You can drown us in shitty games with emo mutes that trapse around not having sex with anything or even being ballsy enough to say anything or flood us with generic suit wearing gimps that fight partially inflated trash bags on mars and we will never stop. Duke Nukem Forever is coming. Mortal men may not craft him, gods might not live long enough to play him, the very universe itself may fold under his might, but he will come and there will not be a toilet big enough to park his bricks in.

You can all dance around in your ignorance, your pithy idea that mere financial mechanisms of mere men can stop him. That simply because nobody is there to craft the one true creator, the he cannot rise from his own rest is reason to assume he will never return is pure lunacy. Duke Nukem Forever is Forever. He is before, he is after and he is during, forever. Mock all you want, you could never really grasp the idea of what forever is, let along what duke himself is and you never will.” – AxeManiac 5: 18

“Vocês podem nos matar, nos incendiar, arrancar nossas peles, nos espancar e estuprar, mas vocês nunca podem parar Duke Nukem Forever. Vocês podem nos afogar em games de merda com emos mudos que ficam passeando sem fazer sexo com qualquer coisa ou ainda sem ter colhões o suficiente para falar qualquer coisa ou nos encherem de gimps genéricos com roupas especiais que lutam contra sacos de lixo parcialmente cheios em Marte, mas nós nunca pararemos. Duke Nukem forever está vindo. Mortais podem não fazê-lo, deuses podem não viver o suficiente para jogá-lo, o próprio universo poderá se dobrar sobre seu poder, mas ele virá, e não haverá uma privada grande o suficiente para ele liberar seus “tijolos”.

Vocês todos podem ficar dançando em sua ignorância, sua patética idéia que meros mecanismos financeiros de meros homens podem pará-lo. [Acreditar] Que simplesmente porque não há ninguém lá para criar o único e verdadeiro criador, que por ele não poder se levantar de seu descanso, não irá voltar, é loucura. Duke Nukem Forever é Eterno. Ele é antes, ele é depois e ele é durante, eterno. Zombem o quanto quiserem, vocês nunca poderiam realmente entender a idéia do que “eterno” é, muito menos o próprio Duke, e vocês nunca poderão.” – AxeManiac 5:18

R.I.P. Duke, there never was an FPS hero with more attitude and better one-liners

Well this may be it, Duke may be dead. Duke Nukem Forever, the LONG awaited sequel in the Duke Nukem series may have been officially cancelled. As most fans know, Duke Nukem Forever has been in production for around twelve years. The average game takes around two and a half to finish. No one really knows for sure what went on behind the scenes that caused the incredible delay.

During development the studio declared its release day to be “when it’s done.”

So people began calling it Duke Nukem….FOREVER and Duke Nukem Never.

Hitler took the news especially hard, and this may be the real reason why he committed suicide…

Warning video contains dirty and hilarious content.

Publisher Take-Two Interactive is now suing 3D Realms over the canceled project and the lost money they invested.

There may be hope on the horizon for the army of loyal fans who have been waiting well over a decade for the return of Duke Nukem. Shacknews reports that Gearbox Software was mentioned in Take-Two’s lawsuit with 3D Realms, and that Gearbox is currently developing a prequel in the Duke Nukem series.

Valeu galera!

Los chicos de ScrewAttack vuelven a la carga con una de sus famosas listas: esta vez se trata de “los 10 fracasos en el mundo de los videojuegos”.

En el mundo de los videojuegos (y casi en cualquier ámbito en general) es muy importante tomar riesgos, ser transgresor innovar y dar con una “fórmula mágica” que haga que tu producto sea el mas vendido del mercado. Muchas compañías toman esos riesgos y la mayoría de las veces son recompensadas.

Pero, ¿Que sucede cuando te arriesgas y no obtienes el resultado que te habías propuesto? Pueden suceder varias cosas pero hay dos que destacan: o obtienes un juego de culto, que no será el mas vendido pero con suerte amortizarás el capital invertido; o bien fracasas estrepitosamente y poco margen de movimiento te queda.

Esta recopilación nos muestra claros ejemplos de ambas cosas.

Antes de analizar la lista os invito a que la visualicéis, así no os destrozaré ninguna sorpresa

Empecemos con el numero 10 de la lista. La Apple Pippin, una consola que estaba predestinada al fracaso mucho antes de ver la luz. Este fracaso tecnológico Esta consola era la representación de la unión de Bandai con Apple, su lista de juegos gozaba de algún que otro título tentador, como seria la Saga Gundam pero su fracaso estaba predestinado ya que el mercado, por aquel entonces, pertenecía a Sony, Nintendo y Sega.

El el puesto numero 9 nos encontramos con N-Gage. Seguro que la mayoría recordáis al N-Gage. Ese teléfono que a su vez era consola (pero que realmente ni era teléfono ni era consola). N-Gage partía de una idea buena, pero se materializó en un teléfono que era poco ergonómico para mantener largas charlas y en una consola que no llegaba a la calidad mínima para poder competir con Nintendo que ya llevaba muchos años en el negocio…

Damos un “pequeño” salto y nos dirigimos al puesto numero 4, dónde nos espera uno de los inventos que mas expectación despertó en su momento y que “causó muchos quebraderos de cabeza” (o mas bien dicho el dolor de cabeza que te venia tras jugar con el “aparatito”); estoy hablando, ni mas ni menos, que de la Virtual Boy. Ese intento de Nintendo de adentrar a los jugadores en un mundo virtual. Un invento que pocos han podido probar, pero quienes por casualidad hemos tenido uno en nuestra cabeza, hemos experimentado una sensación única. En este caso solo se les puede reprochar a los inventores el hecho de adelantarse demasiado en su época, la idea era buena pero el resultado no fue el esperado, quién sabe si en un futuro veremos a Virtual Boy como la predecesora de nuestras videoconsolas…

Y ya para terminar nos quedamos con el agridulce sabor del juego que ocupa el segundo lugar: Duke Nukem Forever. Ese juego ansiado por muchos fans que por desgracia se quedo en el limbo tras tropecientos muchos años de desarrollo. Des de Cetra Land, un saludo para Dule Nukem Forever.

Y para finalizar: ¿Cuales son para vosotros los mayores fracasos del mundo de los videojuegos?

Diversas doenças surgiram no mundo moderno, mas nenhuma afetou tanto os jogadores de computador como o Transtorno (ou Síndrome) de FPS (sigla que significa atirador em primeira pessoa em inglês) ou popularmente chamada de Doença de Duke Nukem...

Poucos pacientes aceitam falar abertamente do problema, mas Gene Simpkins, de 33 anos topou falar sobre o assunto…

“Pouco ainda é conhecido sobre esta síndrome e vários estudos multicêntricos baseados em centenas de lan houses tentam elucidar a fisiopatologia desta doença. Entre os especialistas, o consenso atual é de que esta é uma doença adquirida após exposição prolongada à jogos de tiro em primeira pessoa, como Duke Nukem, Quake, Doom, Half Life, Counter Strike, Call of Duty, Halo, Crysis, Tetris, Super Mario, entre outros.“

Lançado em 1996 esse virou clássico cult e praticamente ficou esquecido, mas hoje ele foi relançado pra se pegar de grátis no site oficial da Remedy, também conhecida como a casa de Max Payne. Corrida em perspectiva aérea, vários tipos de armas e itens estão disponíveis pela pista onde vale tudo pra chegar na frente. Vale também o aviso: essa versão já vem preparada pra ser usada em Windows xp, Vista ou 7 sem dor de cabeça pra configurar o Dosbox e partidas online podem ser encontradas via Hamachi.

For all the upsides of fatherhood, there are certainly some drawbacks. Chief among them the seemingly endless variety of dirty diapers one encounters from day to day. This is an unofficial catalog of selected specimens.

The Duke Nukem

This diaper announces its impending arrival with raucous, bombastic fanfare. You kind of can’t help but be in awe, as though there’s something special in the making.

As you open the diaper, you hold your breath, anticipating insane action, over-the-top gruesomeness and some well-timed expletives.

Then you open the diaper to find that it was all hype, and that there’s nothing there.

Muchos de nosotros hemos visto algunas burlas a productos o marcas de una a otra competencia. ¿Quién no recuerda ese comercial de Pepsi donde se burlaban de la CocaCola? ¿O esa película donde convertían una lata de CocaCola en una de Pepsi? Ahora esto nos lleva al tema de hoy, y este es el de las burlas implícitas y no tanto de algunos videojuegos contra personajes o marcas de juegos de la competencia. En algunos casos no nos damos ni por enterados por la forma tan sutiles en que están aplicadas y generalmente no molestan a nadie.

Empecemos cronológicamente de atrás pa’lante.

Jill of the jungle Vs Videogame

No se a ustedes a que les suena pero a mi me va a la pelicula de tarzan. Este es un juego de plataformas por allá en la época del MS-DOS y uno de los primeros de Epic, si como lo oyeron, este es uno de los pinitos de la creadora de Gears of War. Llegó inicialmente como shareware, que rea el formato favorito en esos tiempos, descargabas el primer capitulo y si te gustaba tenias que rascarte los bolsillos. Ahora, ¿Cómo es el juego? Bueno la prota, se encarga de pasar el mapeado saltando y haciendo se que más estupideces, lo interesante es que se va encontrando con algunos boletines de noticias en las que sutilmente nos dan a saber que varios personajes famosos del mundo del videojuego (en ese momento) y gracias al impetu de la desarrolladora Epic estaban perdiendo su trabajo. ¿Como la ven?

Pues el desfile de personajes “varados” hace alusión a Mario, B. Blaze de Commander Keen, a P. Man alusión Pacman, D. Nukem por Duke Nukem quien acaba en el centro de rehabilitación para personas adictas al alcohol o las drogas Betty Ford, lamentándose entre hipidos por haber sido desbancado de las listas de ventas.

Jill, la saltarina protagonista, se va encontrando a lo largo del primer capítulo de su aventura con distintos boletines de noticias. En ellos se nos hace saber que algunas figuras famosas del mundo del videojuego están viéndose obligadas a abandonar sus trabajos ante la frustrante incapacidad de competir con ella.

Ahora para rematar toda la industria del videojuego se desborona ya que los comparadores solo quieren los juegos de Epic y las demas desarrolladoras van a la quiebra, y ahora si quieren ponerse en contacto con ellos es imposible ya que están de vacaciones en las Bahamas. ¿Que tal estos?

Duke Nukem 3D Vs Doom

Cuando salio Doom fue tal su exito que todos los juegos FPS que salían se les denominaba tipo Doom o clon de Doom, en estos días ya no se usa. Pero cuando salio Duken Nukem 3D esa denominación estaba, y tal vez por ello, los de la extinta 3D Realms le hicieron un pequeño guiño a la saga de ID, y esta consistía en dejar un cadáver de uno de los Marines y si se le examina suelta el siguiente comentario: Another DOOMed Space Marine.

Uniracers Vs SEGA y Sonic

Este juego es muy parecido a los de Sonic en donde corremos a una velocidad endiablada en cintas deslizantes y loops y tal vez por este parecido los desarrolladores hicierón que si tratabamos de colocar como nombre “Sonic” o “Sega” nos rechaza argumentando que no es lo bastante “cool” ¡ja! esa si es buena.

Monkey Island Vs Sierra

Los que juegan Monkey Island saben que es difícil morirse en el juego y si lo haces es porque has decidido hacerlo. Por lo tanto los errores no existen. Ahora los juegos de Sierra son la otra cara de la moneda, ya que sus personajes tienen un selecto abanico de posibilidades de terminar criando malvas. Y fue precisamente eso, lo que dio la oportunidad de agregar un chiste sobre ello en el juego. ¿Como se hace? Solo hay que hacer que el personaje se acerque a un barranco que hay en el juego, este se caerá y un texto en pantalla se encargará de señalarnos, jocosamente, que hemos tomado una mala decisión y se preguntará si teníamos una partida salvada reciente. Pero como no es un juego de Sierra, pues volvemos a aterrizar sobre el borde del barranco y la disculpa es simplemente: Árbol de goma. Algo que el jugador agradecerá felizmente.

Donkey Kong Country 2 Vs Sonic y Earthworm Jim

Coger las monedas especiales del tamaño de una tapa de alcantarilla era lo más frustrante del juego ya que esas escenas de bonus estaban tan escondidas que mejor no digo más… El hecho es que el recoger estas monedas te ameritaba ingresar al ranking del juego comparandolos con los otros archivos o perfiles del cartucho. Varios personajes populares de Nintendo se sitúan en los podios más altos. ¿Ahora en los últimos escalafones que encontramos? Pues las zapatillas deportivas de Sonic y la pistola de Earthworm Jim al lado de una caneca de basura con el cartel “no hopers” que en inglés significa “no a los perdedores” ¿Para que más alusiones?

Final Fantasy contra Erdrick y Link

En el pueblo de Elfland podemos encontrar una tumba en la que ha sido grabada la siguiente inscripción: “Here lies Erdrick” (aquí descansa Erdrick) ¿A quién se refieren? Pues a uno de los personajes principales de Dragon Warrior (Dragon Quest), conocido en japón como Roto. Es el protagonista de la tercera entrega y antecesor de los héroes del primer y segundo juego.

No estaba en los planes iniciales de Square burlarse de él, pues era Link quien se convertía en pasto de los gusanos en la versión japonesa, y su nombre sería recuperado en algunas de las versiones modernas. Aunque la mención a Erdrick se puede considerar fácilmente una burla dirigida a un personaje de la más directa competencia, hay quien considera que la referencia a Link es en realidad un homenaje.

Dan Hibiki Vs Art of Fighting

Este si es todo un “personaje” y toda una burla andante. Pero primeramente empezando por el principio del inicio le doy un pequeño background de la historia de este tipo: El padre de Dan murió tras un enfrentamiento contra Sagat y por esto el tipo juró venganza. Con el deseo de hacerse más fuerte se inscribió en el dojo de Gouken… ¡Y fue tan bien que fue expulsado antes de acabar su entrenamiento! Pero por lo menos pudo enfrentarse a Sagat y derrotarle, pero sólo porque Sagat, preocupado por la enfermiza obsesión de su oponente y sintiéndose identificado por su rivalidad con Ryu, se dejó ganar. ¡Já! Pobre diablo. Dan, completamente convencido de que ha derrotado al asesino de su padre gracias a sus propios méritos (Iluso), llega a la conclusión de que es el momento de compartir sus demoledoras técnicas de combate con todo el mundo, y por ello acoge a Sakura Kasugano como su primera discípula. ¡Hasta que ella llega a la conclusión de que lo mejor que puede hacer es abandonarle y olvidar todo lo aprendido!

Capcom creo a Dan por el simple hecho de burlarse de SNK y su saga Art of Fighting, posteriormente conocida como King of Figthers. Lo primero que sabemos de él es una de las ilustraciones oficiales de Street Fighter II: Champion Edition en las que aparecia como una luchador mezcla entre Ryo Sakazaki y Robert Garcia, protagonistas de Art of Fighting, a la que Sagat le había partido la madre. Y es que, por lo visto, a Capcom no le hizo excesiva gracia que el estilo de combate de Ryo y Robert se asemejara los de sus personajes Ryu y Ken. De ahí la manzana de la discordia.

Más adelante, Capcom decidió convertir a Dan en un personaje jugable secreto en Street Fighter Alpha y uno jugable hasta la llegada de Street Fighter Alpha 2, y se se le dio esa naturaleza cómica. Aunque su estilo sea parecido al de Ryu o Ken, la idea es que sus movimientos son más al estilo de Art of Fighting, ejemplo el patético Gadouken, una ráfaga de energía que no se aleja demasiado de su mano y que recuerda al kooh-ken de Ryo y Robert cuando se quedan sin energia. También podemos fijarnos en como imita la pose de victoria de Yuri Sakazaki en Art of Fighting 2, para una de sus muchas posturitas todas geichas.

Una evidentísima referencia la encontramos si conseguimos llegar hasta el final de Marvel Vs Street Fighter con Dan. El desenlace es muy parecido al del primer Art of Fighting.

Final de Art of Fighting

Final de Marver Vs Capcom

En SNK Vs Capcom encontramos una de la s mejores perlas cuando Dan tiene que pelear con Mr. Karate, el padre de Ryo y Yuri, ya que el parecido con el padre de Dan es alarmante.

Ahora fijesen en su frase de victoria en frase de victoria en Street Fighter Alpha 3: “I hate the art of fighting, but I wanna be the king of fighters!”

Dan Hibiki es considerado un luchador muy débil y, por lo tanto, si te enfrentas con alguien que juega con él es muy probable que te vaya a partir el culo y humillarte ya que a pesar de ser malo con ganas, cuenta incluso con un movimiento especial en el que se limita a realizar diversas posturitas ridículas sin hacer a su contrincante el menor daño.

Alex Kidd in Shinobi World Vs Mario

Solo les dejo la foto ya me dio mamera de escribir más, juzguen ustedes.

Captain Suckass and the Wusseteers

What’s up with those Captain Planet kids? The Planeteers. They should be called the Wusseteers. I mean, they’re given rings to control the four basic elements of the world (earth, wind, fire, and water), and they’ve got heart, the (lame-ass) control element, too. Yet, they end up having to call out Captain Planet like every damn episode. What a bunch of wusses! Why isn’t the fire dude just incinerating the fuck out of Hoggish Greedly in episode 1? Problem solved, and it eliminates like 20 other episode arcs down the line because he’s dead. Or the earth guy could just have a tree fall on him or something, or bury him in a mountainside avalanche. Nope. Never saw that.

You know what the real problem with the planet was in that show? The real problem was that Gaia gave the element rings to the least creative and least proactive individuals this side of Congress. Fire dude spent most of his time using his powers to start and control campfires or some shit, or put flames out, which is totally lame. Wind chick used her power to blow plastic bags around and impress the hell out of that kid from American Beauty or, occasionally, put fires out, which, once again, is totally lame. Water girl usually just used her powers as a glorified squirt gun, never doing any actual damage, or, from time to time, she put out fires. Have I mentioned how lame that is? And what did earth guy do? Damned if I know! I think he just made Christmas trees last longer and stay fresher so the needles didn’t fall as much. Hell, he probably put fires out, too. And that heart wuss? What did he ever do? I think there was something involving lowering cholesterol, and maybe he talked to animals, or something. He probably told them to piss on fires, just to be safe. Super-lame! They turned awesome powers most people only dream of into half-assed party tricks.

Do you realize there were 113 episodes of that show, and the same villains show up repeatedly? Here’s an incomplete breakdown of the major villains and their episode appearances:

So out of 113 episodes, major villains recurred at least 81 times (subtracting their initial appearances, based on incomplete information). That means that at least 71% of their problems were caused by the same seven people. Sure, sometimes the villains worked together, but still, 81 out of 113 story arcs involved them again. See how dumbass these kids were? Drown Hoggish Greedly, burn Looten Plunder and Duke Nukem, bury Dr. Blight and Sly Sludge, and blow Verminous Skumm off a cliff or something, and bam! 81 future problems solved. That heart kid couldn’t really do shit to them.

But seriously, even if they assumed that once they foiled the villains’ plans they’d give up, you’d think that after even a couple reappearances, they would have figured out that those fuckers needed to die, but no! They just content themselves to be all pacifist and shit. “Well, we saved the day again, team! Well, not us per se, but Captain Planet, since we lack the balls to actually do anything but put fires out. Still, I think that’s the last we’ll see of Dr. Blight! I know I said that the last 18 times, but this time I’m actually about 75% confident.” Captain Planet shouldn’t have said “By YOUR powers combined, I am Captain Planet!”, he should have said “By YOUR really awesome powers, which, by the way, you totally underuse, I, Captain Planet, am going to actually fix your mess. I, Captain Planet, also don’t know why you didn’t summon me earlier. Everyone knew you were going to fuck it up in the end.” That might have been too long an intro, though. Regardless, Gaia really dropped the ball by picking that crop of Wusseteers.

And after more research, I’ve determined that Captain Planet really wasn’t that much better than the rest of his crew of fucktards. Thus, I dub him Captain Suckass. He successfully captured each of these villains at least once, some more than once, and each of them somehow escaped their fate to torment Suckass and the idiots again. Craptain Planet was like a bad James Bond villain. He’d capture them in some elaborate cage or some shit, and then just leave them be. How could they ever be shocked when they were pulling more shenanigans? “Hoggish Greedly? I trapped him in a cage of glass three weeks ago! How did he get out? Bullets, you say? Dammit! I forgot the one weakness of glass!” What an asshat.

But speaking of villains, who the fuck were their parents, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt? Are their parents even surprised by their career path with names like those? Do Mr. and Mrs. Skumm sit at home wondering why their son, Verminous, who was such an angel as a child, has turned to a life of violence and pollution? Do Mr. and Mrs. Greedly wonder how Hoggish got to be such a fatass? You know, they must have all had celebrity parents, though, because A) Their names are beyond ridiculous, and B) They’re all rich as hell and can jet around the world to constantly cause mayhem. I mean, they can’t be making money when the Wusseteers keep showing up and fucking up their lumber business, or their sewage dump, or their Monster Golf Cart, right?

Let’s take a look at the financial viability of a sawmill in the Captain Planet world. I’m not entirely sure what the start-up costs for a lumber operation would be, but, based on Canfor Corporation’s recent purchase of a Darlington, SC, sawmill, let’s call it $20 million. Now, assuming the current price of $232 per 1000 board feet (bf) of lumber, it would take approximately 86 million bf to break even. And, at best, they only have days to do it, because Gaia and Captain Planet seem to be on top of all these “plots”, and by “plots” here I mean legitimate businesses, so chances are, they don’t get a lot of time before the proverbial smack gets laid down. In addition, depending on size, sawmills generally have a yearly production of around 170 million board feet (also based on info from Canfor Corp.). So, they’d have to produce in a few days what most sawmills can only produce in 6 months! And those numbers don’t even factor in other costs, just building/buying a sawmill. If you factor about 200 employees at a mill, making about 20000 a year each, you have to add $4 million to the break-even number, which further increases the break-even point to 103 million bf. I’m not even going to cover other costs, like maintenance and utilities, as in depth, but for the sake of argument, let’s put the total package at around $30 million to purchase and run a sawmill for one year, with $10 million of it recurring from yearly expenses. So, the final output required to break even is 129 million bf, or 150000 tons of lumber. Using the above figures, the average sawmill would take about 276 days to pull that amount off before turning an $11 million profit for the rest of the year, but I doubt Gaia and Craptain Suckass are going to give them that much time to be profitable before they shut it down for some supposed violation or another. Also, for comparison, the entire US produced 52.3 billion board feet in 2005, or 143 million board feet per day. So, Looten Plunder’s (or whoever the fuck’s) lone sawmill would have to produce, in a matter of days, 90% of what the entire 1200 odd sawmills in the United States produce in one day. The sad thing is that you know I looked all this crap up.

And don’t even get me started on the financial viability of their more cockamamie schemes, like killing all the manatees or dolphins. What the fuck kind of business plan is that? Don’t these people have boards of directors to answer to? If they did, their board meetings probably went like this:

Sly Sludge: Ladies and gentlemen, I give you our goals for 1993. Are you ready for Operation Kill All the Dolphins in the Ocean!

Director 1: Umm, hold on a second. Why?

Sly Sludge: Don’t ask “Why? Ask “Why not?”

Director 2: No, that still doesn’t make sense. We’ve got a business to run here, and shareholders to answer to. I know we at Sludge Corp. don’t generally have a clean environmental record, but what exactly is the logic behind killing all the dolphins and how does that make us money?

Sly Sludge: Well, obviously, if we kill all the dolphins, then no one can complain about us killing the dolphins, because they will all be dead already.

Director 1: Well, as oddly solid as that logic is, how does killing all the dolphins actually make us money?

Sly Sludge: People will be more supportive of our company and lift boycotts when we aren’t killing dolphins any more.

Director 2: In what fucked up world is killing all the dolphins better than just killing some of them?

Director 1: Yeah, I’ve got to agree with him, there. I mean, we’ve still got a lot of bad publicity from that joint venture with Blight Industries with the Monster Golf Cart burning down part of the rainforest. I don’t think it’ll make a lot of sense to kill all the dolphins after that fiasco.

Sly Sludge: What if we do it covertly instead?

Director 2: Instead? Oh, so this plan was originally going to be released to the public? Awesome. Out of curiosity, how would we do this covertly?

Sly Sludge: We could release a new product that when used, kills dolphins. It’s a double bonus, because people would buy the product, and we’d make money while killing the dolphins.

Director 1: Ok, I’ll bite…what would we sell to the public that would kill dolphins?

Sly Sludge: I don’t know, some kind of repellant that is actually poisonous to dolphins. Like a Dolphin-B-Gone!

Director 2: Now, just for clarification, you A) Actually think there’s a market for a Dolphin repellant, and B) Don’t think anyone will see through your obviously brilliant charade? Is that about correct?

Sly Sludge: Yup.

Director 1: Yeah, we’re not going to do that, then. How the hell did you get to be in charge of this company? Do you have any other plans? Maybe something that actually makes sense?

Sly Sludge: Well, I originally planned to get this going in mid- to late- 1994, but I can bump it up. How about, instead of killing all the dolphins, we kill all the manatees?

Director 2: This ought to be good. Why are we killing all the manatees, now?

Sly Sludge: One of them mocked me at an aquarium when I was a child.

Director 2: Nope. Not good enough.

Sly Sludge: He also talked bad about my mother. Called her a whore.

Director 1: OK, I’m sold! Let’s give it a shot.

Sly Sludge: Woohoo!

Director 2: Wait! Couldn’t you just kill that one manatee instead? If it’s still alive, that is.

Sly Sludge: Awwww! But I want to kill ALL the manateeeees!

Director 2: [Sigh] Fine. We’ll give it a shot.

Sly Sludge: Woohoo!

On second thought, I think they all work for V.I.L.E. Carmen Sandiego must have named them, along with Jacqueline Hyde, Dee Cryption, Telly Phone, and Cy Berpunk. So, all their money is from illegal sources, apparently. How many times can they get away with stealing the Mona Lisa before the Louvre learns it’s lesson? Dammit ACME! Get your shit together!  Looks like Gaia and Captain Planet were barking up the wrong tree all along. All he had to do was ask the Wusseteers one of two questions, either, “Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?” or “Where in time is Carmen Sandiego?” Or, more simply, he could have said, “Hey, fucktards! Where in time and/or space is Carmen Sandiego?” Bam! All of Earth’s problems are solved. Except for Captain Planet’s ridiculous flat-top mullet. It’s probably made of titanium so no one can ever cut it.

There is amazing potential for a crossover series, I think. Someone get me Ted Turner on the phone!

“Who wants some?”
These words always bring back awesome gaming memories of this installment of the magisterrex Game of the Week: 3D Realms’ 1996 PC games classic, Duke Nukem 3D.  Many hours were spent blasting away aliens, looking for all the secret rooms, and seeing how much of the environment could be manipulated.  And all the while Duke Nukem ripped off one-liner after one-liner, just like a good action picture from the 80’s.

Duke Nukem 3D 1996 Release

“Damn, those alien bastards are gonna pay for shooting up my ride!”
The story was pretty straightforward.  Aliens had taken over Los Angeles, and had genetically mutated a bunch of mankind (including all L.A.P.D.’s officers, turning them all into Pigs).  This was bad enough, but when they shot down Duke’s shuttle, it was time to make them pay, and Duke spends the rest of the game wiping out the alien menace.

Duke Nukem 3D Atomic Edition

“It’s time to kick ass and chew bubblegum, and I’m all out of gum.”
Players could look up and down, change altitude with a jet pack, get shrunk by a shrinkray, go anywhere they wanted.  There were levels in bars, levels where you had to go underwater, levels where you had to fight in the dark.  This game was the total package.  But it wasn’t for the kiddies, though, with plenty of cussing, a constant array of strippers, partial pixelated nudity, and lots of gooey bits left over when Duke’s enemies got zapped.

The Kill A Ton Collection

“I ain’t afraid of no quake!”
Part of the fun is finding all the hidden references to other games or movies.  Some of the characters (well, their dead bodies, at least) or items you find are:  Lara Croft, The Terminator, Luke Skywalker, Indiana Jones, The Monolith from 2001: A Space Odyssey, the Doom guy, a video of the OJ Simpson car chase, and the alien mothership from Independence Day.  These are the kind of small touches that make a good game a great game.

“Shake it, baby.”
To the no one’s surprise, it turned out that throwing cash at strippers and blowing away partially nude women can get your game put on the kind of lists that prevent Wal-Mart from displaying it on their shelves.  3D Realms found Duke Nukem 3D banned by Brazilian authorities, required to release a parental locked version to access the Australian market, and even placed outright on the “List of Media Harmful to Young People” in Germany.  Back in 1996, this game was mired in controversy!

“Hail to the King, baby!”
Duke Nukem sold over 300,000 copies in its first week of release.  It went on to spawn several re-releases, like the Atomic Edition, East Meets West, and 3rd party level compilations and other mods, like Duke!Zone and Nuclear Winter.  In the end the sales of Duke Nukem 3D were in the hundreds of millions of dollars, and made Duke Nukem easily one of the most recognizable franchises and characters in the gaming world.

East Meets West Pack

“What are you waiting for? Christmas?”
If you never played Duke Nukem 3D, go on and pick this game up.  It’s still a lot of fun, even after all these years – as the best games always are!  And don’t forget to download the high-resolution pack, which transforms this classic into a 32-bit juggernaut of retro gaming goodness!

Inspirado por un post de Pixfans reciente, muy bueno este y todos los anteriores de  la saga de personajes. La de hoy trataba de Duke Nukem un personaje que mola y lo sabe, jaja

- “Eat shit and die!” (¡come mierda y muere!)

- “Your face, your ass, what’s the difference?” (Tu cara, tu culo, ¿Donde está la diferencia?)

- “Hail to the king, baby!” (¡Saluda al rey, nena! – imitando a la peli Army of Darkness)

- “Hmm, don’t have time to play with myself.” (Hmm, no tengo tiempo de jugar conmigo mismo – dicho al lado de una recreativa de su primer juego en Nuke Dukem 3D)

- “Nobody steals our chicks … and lives.” (Nadie nos roba a nuestras nenas y vive)

- “I’ll rip your head off and shit down your neck.” (Cortaré tu cabeza y cagaré en tu cuello)

- “It’s time to kick ass Or chew bubblegum. And I’m all outta gum.” (Es momento de patear culos o mascar chicle, y me he quedado sin chicle).

Aquí unos vídeos donde se puede observar a este personaje en todo su esplendor:

Duke Nukem 3D

Ja, ich bin froh, dass ich den indizierten Titel überhaupt drei Tage lang von Deutschland aus kaufen durfte. Aber wenn nicht bald das von den Entwicklern versprochene Update kommt, wird das Duke-Icon ganz kräftig wackeln.

Allgemein finde ich das Getöse von kommenden Erweiterungen und Verbesserungen auf dem iPhone eher nervig. Und jede Menge leere Versprechungen sind auch dabei. Sollte nicht längst ein neues Level für Minigore erscheinen? Hatte Electronic Arts nicht großmundig optionale englische Sprachausgabe für Need for Speed versprochen?

Das einzige Spiel, was sich bei mir regelmäßig aktualisiert ist das, welches es am wenigsten nötig hätte: Doodle Jump. Und das gehe ich jetzt auch wieder spielen – 25200 Punkte, Beat that!

L’autre jour j’étais en mission d’urgence au Monoprix pour pécho de quoi rincer mes Chocapics du lendemain matin. J’adore le Monop’ de la Croix-Rousse, on y croise une ancienne camarade de collège devenue mannequin qui shope avec son boyfriend, ou alors, mieux encore, on se fait biper ses achats par une connasse qui vous avait pourri la vie au lycée et qui doit maintenant vous sourire pour garder son job. Pas de bol, la semaine dernière, rien de tout ça. Après avoir checké mes mails, mon Facebook et failli twitter que je me faisais chier au Monop’, mon regard a été attiré par le présentoir en débute de file d’attente. Je sais bien que c’est planté là juste pour niquer les pauvres types comme moi qui s’emmerdent au point de céder à un dernier achat d’impulsion. Un presque master de marketing m’hurlait que je me faisais avoir. Pourtant, petite voix dans ma tête : tiens, si je me prenais un chewing-gum ?

C’est là que ça se complique. Parce qu’un gum, à la base, y’a rien de plus con. C’est un truc mou qu’on mâche et qui perd son goût au bout de trente secondes tout en laissant une haleine correcte et attrape au vol les bouts de Maxi Best Of coincés entre les dents. Plus con tu meurs. Zéro évolution produit depuis des décennies. Du coup les marques pètent un câble pour compenser. Ca a commencé par un deal douteux avec l’association bucco-dentaire pour dire que les gums, c’est cool, ça nettoie. Heu… okay. Puis le sans-sucre. Ou comment sacrifier le minimum de goût restant sur l’autel de la lute contre l’obésité. Sérieux, avec une seule fraise tagada, tu te défonces autant qu’avec onze tablettes de gum. Puisqu’on parle de tablettes, n’oublions pas que ça n’existe quasi plus. Tu peux avoir ton gum en dragée, en bille et même (holy wtf) en forme de cube à paillette (true story).

Je suis conscient d’être sensé être un pur apôtre de la surconsommation, mais sérieux, des dragées qui me rappellent des médocs avec un gout fruit de la passion/cactus, le tout dans une boule gigantesque qui tient pas la poche. Sans déconner. Le must étant la nouvelle gamme style, celle dont l’emballage coûte 10x plus à fabriquer que le gum du dedans. Puis y’a la pub. La fameuse pub. Celle où des mecs font des trucs de oufs en image de synthèse pour ressentir de la pluie d’agrumes découpées au ventilateur géant ou s’immerge dans des billes flottant au dessus d’un aimant géant. Quand la salle de ciné entière a un rire gêné à la diffusion du spot, c’est qu’il y a un gros problème. N’écoutant que ma nostalgie et mon bon sens, je me suis baissé jusqu’en bas du présentoir, pour prendre les seules putains de tablettes disponibles. Hollywood goût chlorophylle, au vrai sucre vintage staïle bande de bâtsards !

Comme prévu, le truc avait perdu toute saveur cent mètres plus loin. Mais au moins je peux me trimballer mon paquet dans la poche de mon jean, sans passer pour un gros branleur quand je le dégaine pour me servir ou proposer. Peut-être qu’il y a des choses qui ne doivent pas changer dans la vie. Mes chewing-gums en font partie.
Demain, un bon bouquin qui fait plaisir dans le corps !

KOLLEKTOR STAGE !!!

Micro extrait de They Live ! de John Carpenter.

Al parecer la película de Halo está destinada a no pasar del archivero en un buen rato, segun Microsoft por que prefiere enfocarse en otros proyectos como ODST y REACH.

Asi que aqui hay 10 peliculas que tienen mas chance de salir, antes del astronauta jaipeado:

1.- Dead Space: ya hay un contrato de produccion, que será a cargo de D.J. Caruso, quien ya produjo también Disturbia y  Eagle Eye pero aun no hay guión. No hay mucho que decir. Poca informacion.

Viendo el amanecer

2.-Bioshok: varios socios y un gran presupuesto (160mdd), el productor se alejó de Pirates 4, y está motivado para hacer esta pelicula, asi que creo que tiene buenas probabilidades de ver la luz

Un descanso durante las grabaciones

3.-Duke Nukem: Si salió la pelicula de Max Payne, por que no esta? (la van a hacer los mismos estudios) espero que no tenga la misma suerte que la secuela del juego, que termino por ser cancelada.

Y como actriz invitada: Lara Croft

4.-Area 51: Grant Morrison, gurú de los comics fue contratado por Paramount en 2007 para hacer el screenplay de esta película, asi que mientras él esté dentro del equipo, no habrá problemas de calidad. Sin embargo, no ha habido noticias frescas acerca de este film, asi que parace tener un obscuro panorama

5.-Mass Effect: Avi Arad, productor de las películas de Marvel fue contratado el pasado septiembre. Starring: Commander Sheppard wooooww !   Arad tiene un record de cero cancelaciones de proyectos, aunque ya va para un año que no se sabe nada de Mass Effect, espero que esten trabajando en chinga.

No podras verla si no llevas tu credencial del IFE

6.-inFAMOUS: Sony compró una adaptación de película realizada por Sheldon Turner, miembro del equipo de Avi Arad (mencionado en el punto anterior). Sony Pictures se ve muy motivado a hacerlo realidad, asi que esta pelicula es de las que mas tienen probabilidades de aparecer anunciada en las marquesinas.

buscando al primo Roman

7.-Asteroids: Así es! aquel juego que salió en 1979 por parte de Atari, en el inicio de la época dorada de las arcade, y que podías jugar así:

Si lo jugaste, estas ruco

Va a ser producido por el mismo que hizo GI Joe (que por cierto me pareció solo palomera), aunque todavia no tiene director. Pero algo de la historia es que tendrá dos protagonistas, que son hermanos, y pasarán duras pruebas para descubrir su conexión sanguínea. No se como vieron eso a traves de lo que brinda el juego XD. Con el antecedente de GI Joe, podemos decir que al menos tiene buenos chances de salir.

8.-World Of Warcraft: despues de haber finalizado su colaboración en Spiderman 4, Sam Raimi, productor de The Dark Knight, está a bordo del barco. Para mí, es casi un hecho que va a salir, solo quedará esperar.

Reinita ! ! !

9.-Ge Ge Gears Of War !  Algo seguro: no la protagonizará “The Rock”, por las obvias similitudes con Doom. Ya está armado todo el grupo de trabajo. Para interpretar a María, una de las fuertes contendientes es:

Kate Beckinsale de Wesos

Lástima que Dominic que la desayune.

Y por supuesto, veremos en pantalla ocurrir el “Emergence Day” con Locusts emergiendo de la tierra. Así pues, la película será una precuela de los juegos. Por cierto, habrá mujeres soldado.

10.-Los sims: Hablando de grandes juegos, llega y se cuela The Sims, que será producida por el mismo de Eragon y Norbit. Solo apareció una llamarada en el 2007, despues no se ha sabido nada más. Ojalá que nunca salga, por que apoyará la teoría acerca de las películas de juegos.

Si no sale algo así en la película, mejor que no la hagan ¬¬

Pijamada !

Por cierto, en ningúna de ellas aparece el nombre de Uwe Boll

I wrote a post last December about certain video games that were getting the ‘Hollywood Treatment’ and since then none of these films have really made any outstanding progress. But don’t let that fool you into thinking that Video Games are no longer an interesting platform for the giant cash cow film industry…

io9.com has posted up a list of some more popular games that will be looking to make it to the silver screen. I picked a few out that I would like to see but check out io9 to read about more!

Duke Nukem: This guy just won’t die! Rumours have it that Depth Entertainment will be producing the film. It should have gun toting pig cops with a variety of strippers and sleazy locales all nicely rounded off with an NC17 rating (or at least an R). My bet is that it will be made to capture a wider audience therefore losing what made it so damn popular in the first place. A PG-13 Duke? I’m gonna slighty remove your head and poop down your throat? Not quite the same oomph. Oh and the other popular video game title ‘transformed’ into film by Depth Entertainment? Max Payne.

______________________________

Infamous: For me, this is the film that would mostly likely make some money and become successful. The story could be quite well adapted to screenplay and Superhero flicks are ‘all the rage’ at the moment. Of course it would need some clever storytelling to build the character up from just a do this mission, beat up this guy routine but using a dark character with choices of good and evil could be interesting. A movie adaptation has been submitted and apparently Sony picked it up snatching Avi and Ari Arad to produce!

______________________________

Asteroids: If this were the competition to see which was the most ridiculous video game to film adaptation, Asteroids would win it hands down. It makes no sense, the game has no real depth or story but to simply destroy those flying rocks in space. But no, G.I. Joe producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura and writer of Race to Witch Mountain Matthew Lopez are already attached. I think what bothers me the most is that you could perfectly conceive an action packed outer space film without having to call it Asteroids and basing it off the game because once its made it will probably bear no resemblance anyway. I’m looking forward to this only see what the hell the pull out of the bag.

______________________________

World Of Warcraft: I’m extremely hesitant to post about this one as purely from a game perspective I’m not interested. However, Sam Raimi and Dark Knight producer Charles Roven joins the quest to do whatever it is they do in this world. Nothing has rivalled Lord of the Rings in terms of fantasy and scale so to see another epic film could be very entertaining. Just as long as they characters in the film don’t go on about levelling up we should be fine.

______________________________

The Sims: Ok so I could be wrong. Asteroids actually looks like a better prospect than The Sims. I honestly don’t know what zany stupid creation could come out of this but I can guarantee it will be some silly teenage comedy. Although the film has been stalled they have a producer attached. He made such stellar films as Norbit and Eragon and his name is John Davis. One I’m sure we may forget about.

So thats about it for this round of video games being made into movies. I still hold hope for a Halo film to be released in the future but it looks as though Peter Jackson will be a little busy bringing some furry footed friends back to life.
