By now, you might have heard about our PAX announcement... Duke Nukem Forever is coming out on PC, 360, and PS3 in 2011. Yes, pigs are flying. All hail the king, baby.
Duke's return has been nothing short of astounding for everyone involved. Yesterday, we had approximately 200,000 views during our unveiling Ustream and hundreds upon hundreds of people coming to watch Randy Pitchford's demo, see the exclusive PAX trailer, and, most importantly, get some hands-on time with Duke Nukem Forever for the first time ever.
During the mayhem, I managed to snap a couple photographs of the booth and the demo for you - and I hope you enjoy them! Over the coming weeks and months, you'll be seeing a lot more of Duke... Never fear. He's back, he's big, he's awesome, and Duke Nukem Forever is gonna own.

Before signing off to head back out into the craziness once more, I have one last thing to share with you. I was fortunate enough to be standing far enough back from the Duke Nukem Forever booth this morning to grab a short video of our line forming. It took 50 seconds for the crowd to wrap around the entirity of our 50'x30' booth (and about a minute more to wrap a second time.) People are waiting two (some even say four!) hours to see the game for the first time - and to all of you, I can't thank you enough for making Duke's return an absolutely amazing success. You guys rock.
