Hell Hath Frozen Over... Could it be true? A Duke Nukem Forever teaser from 3DRealms?
December 19th 2007, 16:15 MSK by OmegaFoRCe Long long ago, in a Crap far, far away, there were Crappers making fun of 3DRealms and their seemingly unending development cycle of Duke Nukem Forever. Could the legends of a real video game actually be true? And behold - the word of legend: http://forums.3drealms.com/vb/showthread.php?t=29639 Last Saturday we had our annual company Christmas party. It was a lot of fun as usual but it featured one special surprise. It turns out that several people had been secretly working late nights and into the wee hours of the morning preparing a special video for those at the party. They created a short teaser for Duke Nukem Forever.
After seeing the teaser we thought it was something we should share with all of you and while it's just a teaser, rest assured more is coming. Tomorrow, Wednesday the 19th, around noon CST, we will release the first teaser trailer from Duke Nukem Forever. To tide you over until then, here is a screen shot taken from the teaser. Thank you for being fans of the game and for your continued patience. I'd like to thank the people on the team that worked so hard to create this teaser and the friends of 3DR that helped create it (Jeremy Soule and Julian Soule, Frank Bry, Jason Evigan and of course, Jon St. John). |

#222 by gaggle Yeah, is that a problem Squeaky? My TV will have one, my Wii has one, but I'll be damned if I know what I'd use it for. Ever. Is it useful for more than viewing photos? Uhh... you can't play ut3 mods without one? Okay, so there's no real reason to have one on a ps3. |
|
gaggle you can use the memory slots for saved games, however since you can just use any old usb drive instead it's kind of a moot point. |
|
Oi, what? Uh… what? Come again? I'm at a loss for words, is there any reason that they're not just on the harddrive? "I'm not even angry / I'm being so sincere right now."
|
|
Save games? Again, what about the harddrive? Or is for mobility reasons? Sounds cool with the USB drive though, does the same hold true with UT mods? "I'm not even angry / I'm being so sincere right now."

#227 by gaggle Save games? Again, what about the harddrive? Or is for mobility reasons? Sounds cool with the USB drive though, does the same hold true with UT mods? According to an email from Mark Rein to PA, any usb thumbdrive will work. > You don't need a "memory card". I use the term "memory card" but in > fact any PS3 readable memory device should do. A USB memory stick > plugged into one of the PS3's USB ports (all models of PS3 have USB > ports) works fine. If you already have a memory card from a digital > camera and you want to use that then you can buy a pretty cheap USB > memory card reader and plug it that into the USB port of the PS3. One > of our guys even used an iPod to transfer the files on to his PS3. Tycho's response was great: From his hacked iPod, you mean. Remember: if you want to use mods on your PS3, it's easy! Just install Linux on your music player. I wonder if tycho realises that there is an option in iTunes to use an ipod as a removable usb harddrive? |

Thanks Squeaky. "I'm not even angry / I'm being so sincere right now."

Speaking of teasers. Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want and deserve to get it good and hard.

I wonder if tycho realises that there is an option in iTunes to use an ipod as a removable usb harddrive? Maybe he meant MP3 files? #10 - Why not both come out of a window?

I saw parts of Hell's Kitchen yesterday. It was horrible. Why the fuck do people find this a good show? Do they enjoy seeing a workplace bully at work or something? Any game where competence can be measured by the amount of clicks per minute is not a strategy game.

Probably the same reason why some people watch The Golden Cage. My conjecture is cynism and masochism. "I've always viewed masturbation as a pretty positive thing."

#234 by Ashiran I saw parts of Hell's Kitchen yesterday. It was horrible. Why the fuck do people find this a good show? Do they enjoy seeing a workplace bully at work or something? I prefer his BBC shows. He's still a dick, but seriously tones it down so you actually get interesting cooking information along with the yelling. |

Ashiran (#234): I saw parts of Hell's Kitchen yesterday. It was horrible. Why the fuck do people find this a good show? Do they enjoy seeing a workplace bully at work or something? I don't get it either. That's not interesting to watch, it's sad to watch people let them selves be treated that way by some jackass, be he a good chef or not.

I just uninstalled Vista and installed XP Center with integrated SP2. Love! It's MCE 2002, and I know there is a later MCE 2005. Should I worry about that, as this one has SP2 embedded? GET IN THE VAN I GOT CANDY

I watched the F-Word, Boiling Point, Beyond Boiling Point, the BBC Kitchen Nightmares, the US shows, and have read his biography. There's a culture of tough love that seems to permeate high end kitchens. You have to realize he really is considered one of the best out there. The people that are getting yelled at (less so on the gameshowy HK and moreso on Kitchen Nightmares and the BBC shows) are probably learning more in one week with him than a year in cooking school. He comes from nothing (which I like/can relate to) and has worked hard to earn everything he's got. More power to him. |

Agreed. I have nothing but respect for Ramsey. You never see animals going through the absurd and often horrible fooleries of magic and religions. Only man behaves with such gratuitous folly. It is the price he has to pay for being intelligent but not, as yet, intelligent enough. --Aldous Huxley

More power to him being a belligerent asshole if that's what works for him...but do I want to watch a show about an asshat being mean to people just because he can? Not at all. I wouldn't work for someone like that no matter how much knowledge they promised to give to me. "Thug means never having to say you're sorry." - UTurn
|
|
I wouldn't work for him, but Hell's Kitchen is the only reality show I've kept up with. |

This guy is hilariously nuts . "Why would I wanna read the book? All I'm saying is, I see a game every day. I watch baseball every day. I have a better understanding about why things happen than the computer, because the computer only tells you what you put in it. I could make that computer say what I wanted it to say, if I put the right things in there. ... The computer is only as good as what you put in it. How do you think we got Enron?"

I can't even watch any of the US Gordon Ramsey reality shows. They are dumbed down past the point of being merely irritating to being completely insulting. A complete preview of what is going to happen before each commercial break and complete rehash of what you have already seen after each commercial break? Events and intererviews rearranged and re-edited to complete add fake drama? A completely predictable formula to the point where each episode of Kitchen Nightmares is exactly the same? Bleh. "when a man knows he is to be hanged in a fortnight, it concentrates his mind wonderfully." Samuel Johnson

Yes, the British version of Kitchen Nightmares is light-years better then the terrible Fox version. Ramsey does it because Fox pays him about $100,000 per episode. You never see animals going through the absurd and often horrible fooleries of magic and religions. Only man behaves with such gratuitous folly. It is the price he has to pay for being intelligent but not, as yet, intelligent enough. --Aldous Huxley

Leslie Nassar (#248): assemblerer: i have been busy, working for the man. Sounds awful official and shit. Good job? "Thug means never having to say you're sorry." - UTurn

Agreed. I have nothing but respect for Ramsey. I'm assuming that the show is hammed up quite a bit because really, if this is not the case I have in fact no respect for him at all. Yelling at personnel is bad enough, actively tearing down their self esteem is even worse. If a boss of mine would get in my face like he does, I would seriously consider breaking his face into half. He seems to think that taking it to the max by turning people into fear trained pavlov bunnies is the way to perfection. In that case I recommend using robots instead. Any game where competence can be measured by the amount of clicks per minute is not a strategy game.

#250 by Ashiran I'm assuming that the show is hammed up quite a bit because really, if this is not the case I have in fact no respect for him at all. Cool. Don't watch the show.

Leslie Nassar (#251): Matt Perkins: it's good, but the reliance on powerpoint slide-packs as the preferred document format is baffling. Every big company I've worked at has some unexpected document format they prefer to work with... last company I was a 2+ billion a year company and they used excel for EVERYTHING. That was pretty strange since they internal development teams and more. "Thug means never having to say you're sorry." - UTurn

Yelling at personnel is bad enough, actively tearing down their self esteem is even worse. I think this is normal in the restaurant industry, and I'm not sure why. Anthony Bourdain talks about it, probably because the type of people that work in it are so weird it's just how it is. There was a teacher at the CIA where he went that was infamous for doing it. <Hugin_len> Basically, cheesy doesn't have awful taste in music, he's simply very white.

Cool. Don't watch the show. Is there a point to this remark apart from stating the obvious? Cause I'm confused at which point I asked people to convince me to keep watching it. Any game where competence can be measured by the amount of clicks per minute is not a strategy game.

To expand a bit, I've met a couple of people people who worked under Ramsey at one of his London restaurants and they have nothing but admiration for him. Yeah, he shouts a lot and curses like a sailor. But he does it because he genuinely cares about his cooks and wants them to succeed. He'll go to the mat for any of his employees, according to what I've been told. He's abrasive, but as Cheesy said, so are a lot of chefs. Professional cooking is an extremely stressful environment.

I think this is normal in the restaurant industry, and I'm not sure why. I'm pretty sure that the most efficient way to run a kitchen is by having a bunch of obeying automatons who can't make mistakes anymore even if they wanted to. And frankly, I doubt any chef rising in the ranks in an environment like that will have any problems doing the exact same thing the moment they get to the top of the food chain. Any game where competence can be measured by the amount of clicks per minute is not a strategy game.

I have a question. Maybe it's so stressful because everybody shouts at eachother?!!? "I'm not even angry / I'm being so sincere right now."
|

I'm pretty sure that the most efficient way to run a kitchen is by having a bunch of obeying automatons who can't make mistakes anymore even if they wanted to. There is truth in that, but you say it like it is a bad thing. You go to a restaurant and order a lime chicken with mango salsa, you want it the same way the next time you go back. There's not a lot of room for creativity in a kitchen outside of the head chef. <Hugin_len> Basically, cheesy doesn't have awful taste in music, he's simply very white.

Ergo (#256): To expand a bit, I've met a couple of people people who worked under Ramsey at one of his London restaurants and they have nothing but admiration for him. Yeah, he shouts a lot and curses like a sailor. But he does it because he genuinely cares about his cooks and wants them to succeed. He'll go to the mat for any of his employees, according to what I've been told. He's abrasive, but as Cheesy said, so are a lot of chefs. Professional cooking is an extremely stressful environment. Good for them...but abrasive doesn't describe what I've seen of him on Hell's Kitchen. It goes further than that. He literally destroys people, from calling them names, to saying horrible things for the mere shock effect, etc. *shrugs* To each their own. I'm just not that enthused about watching it... "Thug means never having to say you're sorry." - UTurn

I know, I'm not contesting that it isn't the best way to run a kitchen I'm just wondering why it needs to be accompanied by excessive yelling and tearing into people. And yeah, as gaggle says, having all that shouting and yelling going on doesn't actually help with the stress and pressure either. Kinda makes me wonder if the high stress environment of a top kitchen isn't partially caused by itself. Any game where competence can be measured by the amount of clicks per minute is not a strategy game.

Well, I referring to the Kitchen Nightmares show more than anything. On Hell's Kitchen he's encouraged by the producers to be over-the-top (he's said so himself in interviews). You never see animals going through the absurd and often horrible fooleries of magic and religions. Only man behaves with such gratuitous folly. It is the price he has to pay for being intelligent but not, as yet, intelligent enough. --Aldous Huxley

I can't help it, but here's some more on-topic copyright infringement: Joel Spolsky, Smart And Gets Things Done: The Command and Control Management Method ... The Command and Control form of management is based on military management. Primarily, the idea is that people do what you tell them to do, and if they don’t, you yell at them until they do, and if they still don’t, you throw them in the brig for a while, ... Some managers use this technique because they actually learned it in the military. Others grew up in authoritarian households or countries and think it’s a natural way to gain compliance. Others just don’t know any better. Hey, it works for the military, it should work for an Internet startup! ... If Command and Control is such a bad way to run a team, why does the military use it? This was explained to me in NCO school. I was in the Israeli paratroopers in 1986. Probably the worst paratrooper they ever had, now that I think back. There are several standing orders for soldiers. Number one: if you are in a mine field, freeze. Makes sense, right? It was drilled into you repeatedly during basic training. Every once in a while, the instructor would shout out “Mine!” and everybody had to freeze just so you would get in the habit. Standing order number two: when attacked, run towards your attackers while shooting. The shooting makes them take cover so they can’t fire at you. Running towards them causes you to get closer to them, which makes it easier to aim at them, which makes it easier to kill them. This standing order makes a lot of sense, too. OK, now for the Interview Question: what do you do if you’re in a minefield, and people start shooting at you? This is not such a hypothetical situation; it’s a really annoying way to get caught in an ambush. The correct answer, it turns out, is that you ignore the minefield, and run towards the attackers while shooting. The rationale behind this is that if you freeze, they’ll pick you off one at a time until you’re all dead, but if you charge, only some of you will die by running over mines, so for the greater good, that’s what you have to do. The trouble is that no rational soldier would charge under such circumstances. Each individual soldier has an enormous incentive to cheat: freeze in place and let the other, more macho soldiers do the charging. It’s sort of like a Prisoner’s Dilemma. In life or death situations, the military needs to make sure that they can shout orders and soldiers will obey them even if the orders are suicidal. That means soldiers need to be programmed to be obedient in a way that is not really all that important for, say, a software company. In other words, the military uses Command and Control because it’s the only way to get 18- year-olds to charge through a minefield, not because they think it’s the best management method for every situation. |

Wait a second...being in an actual battlefield is different than working a company? That's mind blowing. "Thug means never having to say you're sorry." - UTurn
|
|
A battlefield has striking similarities to working in a kitchen though, apparently. "I'm not even angry / I'm being so sincere right now."
|
|
I think #266 pretty much sums it up. Any game where competence can be measured by the amount of clicks per minute is not a strategy game.
|

I saw Chef Ramsey on Jay Leno, and he was quite a pleasant person with a good sense of humor. But attacking people with an ubridled, reptilian torpor despite their will to succeed is demonic and serves only those less than the Jerry Springer crowd. Whatever anyone believes we exist here for, something (call it atavistic even) down deep says to everyone that THIS ISN'T IT. Some thrive off that...others are disgusted. I'd rather be disgusted. |
