Hah! I love Duke Nukem. I laughed so much at his comments in the original 3-D game. I was really hooked on the game. I sent them an e-mail which read in part, "It's official. I'm addicted." They quoted me on one of their advertising flyers along with a bunch of other people.

"Hmmm, don't have time to play with myself." -Duke Nukem, the other Chuck Norris.

Duke Nukem Forever has taken ... Forever.

And it's still not done.

Duke Nukem Forever? It's still in development?

Must have been at least 10 years so far.

They know my name down there. I asked what was up and they had development issues. They changed the game engine a few times and even started over. In reality, this rendition is less than 5 years in the making. Which is average for a game of this nature.

Don't ask me about release dates. I don't ask and they don't even tell their mothers.

OH, I remember they wanted peopel to submit funny lines for the game. I submitted some with, "You piss off Wang. Now Wang piss on you!" That was a bit too low brow, even for them.

At the time the game was released I was writing game reviews for an online mag. I wrote the review for Shadow Warrier with lots of humor. 3DRealms wrote me to say how much they enjoyed the review.

I thought your screen name was familiar. I think you wrote for EnterMedia, right?

I think they became EnterMedia after I stopped writing. I am shocked you would know such a thing. That was years ago.

I had a bunch of reviews for mostly DOS based games, which were still popular during the Windows transitions. The editor told me he kept them up for a long time because they were very popular reads.

I recall reviewing the Terminator 3D shooter. The game was aweful, but the review rocked. I wrote a "story" intro and it really sucked you in. Then I had to talk about the game...

I know I have printed copies of those reviews someplace, and probably still have the reviews under an old DOS file format.

I remember it because I owned it! After we became EnterMedia we had a ton of success for a while, although back in those days it was super-hard to break even on a content web site (this is 1997 we're talking about... just before the dot-com explosion... I remember paying $2k/month for web hosting ), and we were forced to fold. Some of our affiliates were sold off to UGO and IGN and a few others that were just starting, but had a TON of money behind them because they were backed by print publishers. It's fun to see now all the various gaming sites out there thriving--I feel proud to be a trailblazer for that. You should, too!

If you can't find them, I know I've got copies of your old reviews stored on a CD-R somewhere. And I remember that Shadow Warrior review... George Broussard gushed to me at E3 about it. We had a pretty good relationship with the 3D Realms guys back then--EnterMedia broke the scoop about Duke Nukem Forever (hail to the King of Vaporware, baby!).

Now wait a minute, as I recall you were all of 17 or so when you started that site. Wow, never thought I'd run into you again. I guess I should be proud to be part of the trail blazing. Too bad we never became big names in reporting gaming.

George e-mailed me about the SW review, but he gushed to you over it? Wow. Any idea how I can get an e-book published? I have something I'd like to see "out there".

Ya, I was just a kid back then. I sometimes talk to Chris, who now works for CNN in Atlanta, but you're the first I've ran into other than him in a loooong time. Glad to know we're both Blu-ray fanatics!

I was pretty tight with the guys from id Software and 3d Realms back then. But I've lost a lot of respect for 3dR over the last decade for being so lazy about releases.

As for getting your ebook published, in today's market the best way for a previously unpublished author to get a book in print is to self-publish. It's relatively cheap. And once you can prove to a publisher that you're able to sell your self-published book to an audience (minimum is usually 2-5k copies) then you might get some serious distribution through one of the majors.
