I just cannot believe people are still talking about this.

Duke Nukem is a name I have not focused on in ages. I literally mean that. Subtract half of my life away, and you get my age when I was playing Duke Nukem. Back in the day, the sole gaming-related possessions of my brother and I consisted of an old NES, Gameboys and our computer. We had never purchased an SNES, but - when the time came - we did invest in an N64. However, in the interim period, we were engrossed with computer gaming.

While I would play the original Myst whenever I was alone, Jake and I would often rally together to have a fun, mean-spirited game of Duke Nukem 3D. It was a joyous time. The graphics were cheesy, the character was a chauvanist pig (although we did not even know the word chauvanist at the time) and the enemies were giant pig cops. Nevertheless, every time we connected for a two player co-op mission, we would have an absolute ball.

Whether we were filling the cinema from the first level with laser trip mines in an attempt to blow eachother up, or desperately trying to survive the final boss battle in the football stadium, Duke Nukem 3D was an amazing game. It was also the very first FPS that my brother and I had ever played, and surely explains why Jake plays Counterstrike so obsessively, especially in the servers with Duke Nukem-like gimmicks.
