The
Wired Vaporware Awards, an institution since
1999 has taken some
heavy hits this year, and has had to resort to some pretty naked padding to make a list (products in late beta whose release date has merely slipped? come on) – however, if there is anything that remains constant in these uncertain times we live in it is that
one game rules the list, debuting in the No 2. slot in
2000, it then latched on to the top spot, with only
editorial edict able to to shift it. Ladies and gentlemen, Duke Nukem -
FOREVER.

Duelin' Firemen was originally conceived as a
3DO game. According to
this old subgenius post (
Rev. Ivan Stang was apparently part of the cast), it was slated to be completed in July of 1995. It never saw the light of day. Fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on how you look at it), some of the game's video sequences survive,
edited together in all their seizure-inducing glory [YouTube]. Watch for cameos by Rudy Ray Moore, Mark Mothersbaugh, Tony Hawk, Timothy Leary, Steve Albini, David Yow, and a whole bunch of others... if you can actually bear to watch it.

The
Duke Nukem Forever List provides a bullet-point run down of notable events that have occurred since Duke Nukem Forever was first announced back in 1997. And for those who may have missed last month's Gamespot interview, George Broussard is
still saying
it'll be done when it's done, insisting that 3D Realms "won't be rushed" into releasing DNF before it's ready.

Suck it,
Moller Sky Car! After 25 years of promising to bring me my flying car at a reasonable price, I'm stuck with a fricking
scale model???? Enough. I'm taking my fantasy sky car anticipatory business across town to the good folks at
Urban Aeronautics!
