    In that case, shouldn't he sue the previous owners?

      yes, he should sue them for immaterial (psychological) damages of having to wait for more then 10 years too.

        Supposedly, Gearbox is actively reaching out to retailers and asking them to honor the Duke Nukem pre-orders.

        "There are a lot of people who pre-ordered the game. We've been starting to talk with retailers because we didn't take them directly, and 3D Realms didn't take them, it was all retailers going 'I'm going to take this guy's money,'" Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford said to VG247.

        "We've started to engage them, saying 'Hey, you've got customers who you made a promise to, and any bad feeling they have will reflect on us, so can we work together to do something for those people?' I don't know what we can do yet, but something should be done for the people who pre-ordered."

            Duke Nukem was also the name of a Captain Planet villain--a guy in an unbuttoned Hawaiian shirt with pebbly yellow radioactive skin. He represented the incredible environmental dangers posed by nuclear power. Man, the people who did that show were hacks.

                I remember watching that show a bit when I was a kid. There was one villain who left his fridge door open for no other reason than to waste power. What I never really understood is what motivated the villains. Businesses may pollute the environment to pull a profit, but who the **** intentionally leaves the fridge open? Then your food gets spoiled and your electricity bill goes up. I mean really.

                Or the villains who would dump a whole ****load of crap just somewhere just to kill off an endangered species. Where does that fit into their business model? It always baffled me.

                    I don't remember any of their names. I must have been about 8 when I watched the show.

                      Captain planet.

                      I'm not sure if Duke Nukem had a big effect on society in that regard. For example, Shell had a product called "Pura". Allegedly it was better for the environment. Almost nobody bought it, so they pulled it off the market. Or did they? Short while later, Shell introduced their new premium gasoline "V-Power". Allegedly, your car would drive faster. It was an incredible success, 'everybody' bought it.

                      The joke is, Shell Pura and Shell V-Power are 100% the same. In fact, they don't differ from normal gasoline at all, other than that they are more expensive. There's an additive in it that doesn't really do anything. That's marketing baby!

                        What does that have to do with Captain Planet?

                          That the show didn't have the nature-saving effect on human consciousness that they sought to instill with their Duke Nukem, obviously!

                            I have only vague memories of the show: the redheaded kid was a douche; "heart" was, as many people have pointed out, the crappiest possible power; the ending theme song gets stuck in your head. I can still recall that song today, sadly.

                              I vaguely remember the redheaded kid being from the hood.

                              Yeah. Wikipedia says that character was from Brooklyn.

                                I think I'll actually buy this game just because I wanted to buy it back in the late 90's. That way I can honestly say I waited the whole time for Duke Nukem Forever.

                                Hell, it can't be worse then Civ5.
