Is this an annual thing or is it new because stores who sell games are advertising that the game, by which I mean Duke Nukem Forever is due to ship early next year. Of course they never estimate right, but does that mean it actually might ship or did they put "Duke Nukem Forever - 2007" on some old calenders and never removed it and it is just now appearing.

You know no one is working on that, it is probably sitting in some closet that has boxes packed against the door on an old Intel Pentium 2 Machine with a skeleton at an office chair and cobwebs everywhere. But if anyone is working at it, they are probably chained to desks with a slave master whipping them and a guy beating rhythms on a giant drum because they arn't getting paid any more.

Duke Nukem Forever, when it finally comes out, will be an FPS just a wee be more of quality than Return To Castle Wolfenstein.

3D Realms should release it on 27th April 2007, ten years to the day after it started development.

Wait, with DNF coming out, and Chinese Democracy also being released (http://www.drownedinsound.com/articles/1191181), does that mean the the apocalypse is coming?

Yes. It is a little known fact that Duke Nukem Forever is a horseman of the apocalypse.

I have begun to believe the term Vapourware was coined for DNF...

However, Blizzard has been saying Starcraft II will be available next year, so...

I have been saying that we will see Democracy in China long before we hear Chinese Democracy for a long time now.
