I’ve written about Duke Nukem a bunch, but one thing I never did was something I did ages ago – made a functional prototype of Duke Nukem Forever for the Atari 2600. It was an April fool’s joke I released on the 3D Realms site back in 2003. The page I released for […]
Those who know me (and have read my blog over the years) know that I spent quite some time working for Scott Miller & George Broussard of Apogee Software (later 3D Realms). Was probably the single most fun job I’ve ever had in my life, and to this day, I still wish the old team […]
Duke Nukem as a character as been part of my personal and professional life for some time. Given today is December 31, 2015, I thought I’d take a moment and look back at the games that meant something to me over the years. There’s been quite a few Duke games, and it’s been now almost […]
Some years ago when “my” version of 3D Realms was still going, there was a really active community of Duke Nukem fans. There was a thread on the 3D Realms forums asking people to post their collections of stuff. Initially I didn’t want to participate, because given my job there, I was likely to have […]
It’s December 3rd, 2013. That means that 20 years ago, it was December 3rd, 1993. What is the big deal with that? Well, a company I worked for released two new games on that date. “Blake Stone: Aliens of Gold”, and “Duke Nukem II”. That’s right, Apogee (my Apogee, not the current one – from […]

Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight. (Proverbs 3:5-6) Today is August 31, 2011. It’s a day that’s fairly odd for me emotionally. It’s in some ways the end of the road for the […]
In the rampup to the release of Duke Nukem Forever in June, a series of videos have begun to be released. The first in the history series came out a short while ago, and it’s a cool look into some fiddly bits regarding the early history of Duke Nukem, and the franchse before “Forever”. I’m […]
This video interview of Duke Nukem Forever is near the start of the press rolling forwards towards the game’s release. Definitely cool!
