Why should 3DRealms make Duke Nuke'm Forever after all this time? Because when it finally ships it will receive the most free PR from the trade press and every other press under the sun ever.

How'd that work out for Daikatana?

My favorite quote from the founder:

"I wanted to find people to share knowledge with; to learn from them; to speak with guys who share my thoughts."

He also talks about how the use of open-source software preventing the monopolization of the market by corporations, a big issue in all economic spheres in Iraq right now.

Sure it's idealistic and a long way off for most Iraqis, but it could be the seeds of important alternatives for the Iraqi people.

And finally a good sign: "Microsoft refused the be interviewed for this report."
