Duke Nukem 3D Ported To Nokia N900 95
andylim writes "It looks as if Duke Nukem isn't completely 'nuked' after all. Someone has ported the 90s classic on to a Nokia N900. As you'll see in the video, you control Duke using the Qwerty keypad and shoot using the touchscreen. I'm wondering how long it will take for this to get on other mobile platforms."
In other Duke news, reader Jupix points out that 3D Realms' CEO Scott Miller recently said, "There are numerous other Duke games in various stages of development, several due out this year. We are definitely looking to bring Duke into casual gaming spaces, plus there are other major Duke games in production."

Except when they still ass rape you for killing their system. Yes, this happens.
I remember reading "in UNIX, you can kill a parent and its children...", but I think I missed the part about ass rape..... Time for a new career, I think.

Seriously, we want to slow down deforestation? Stop using trees for paper products. The US needs to get over their high and mighty "We can't use hemp because its taboo" crap.

Oh wait, never mind, its only supposed to reach 7 trillion volts.. That wouldn't be enough to help pay off ObamaCare(tm).

Comment Re:Its to do with people with the wrong keyboard . (Score 1) 284
How exactly do you think you'll be able to type in a URL in mandarin or russian on west european keyboard?
You enable Chinese keyboard layout (dunno what's it called), and type it. The letters printed on the keys of your keyboard aren't some sort of magic that lets your computer input languages written in them, you know.
I don't have any keyboards with Russian characters on them, but I happily type in Russian regardless
I'm happy you'll do this. I won't, and the majority of the internet users won't either. It'll just further separate nations, because I won't go through the hassle of typing in a foreign character domain name - it'll just a site I won't visit.

Its not necessary, its purely political. The world hates the US, and what better way to tell the world that the US "does not run the internet" by making non-latin character sets valid.

I don't want to sound like a meanie, but by definition, that is a developing nation. We all had to start somewhere and develop into what we are today.
Someone needs to stop thinking broadband is a right. Its not. TV isn't. Radio isn't. You aren't born with a right to broadband internet access.

You're going to mod me as a troll, when you can google for "John Holdren sterilze" and you'll find exactly what I'm talking about. The green movement and the environmental movement are dangerous because there are powerful people there that firmly believe people are the problem, and there should be less of them on this planet.

there's more Chinese pollution in LA now than the local stuff. Which highlights the NEXT phase of the problem... but we're not done here, yet.
Perhaps John Holdren is right, and we just need to sterilize the drinking water. Lets start with California, because obviously people = pollution, therefore we should just get rid of people.

We go out of our way to be friendly with evil men in this world, and they think we're weak. In the meantime, we alienate our trusted allies with gifts of iPods and DVDs.
The US's image is changing quite drastically on the world stage, but the words to describe that change are not trust and respect.
