Hopefully the site will up long enough for people to acknowledge 3D realms passing. What's really sad is that a lot of people are saying good riddance, without first admiring what 3D realms was known for...kickass games, and awesome shareware games (shareware equals demos that don't suck).

For some of you who don't know what 3D realms is, they were a company stationed in Garland Texas, and they were know for publishing Wolfenstein, and creating Duke Nukem 3D. Now you may be thinking, they made god stuff, so why are people dissing them? Because of Duke Nukem forever.

If you've never heard of the game, you must have been living under a rock all these years, or you've been playing way to many Final Fantasy games. Duke Nukem forever was to be the next Duke game, featuring more interactive environments, smart enemies, and great graphics. Only problem was development started in 1997...I'm not joking, development has really taken that long.

Don't forget thought, they had to change the graphics engine, plus if it's as interactive as the last game, then they had reason to take a long time.

A lot of people are jumping on the "fuck 3D realms" banwagon, but I'm not. Why? Because without Duke Nukem 3D, I wouldn't be playing video games in the first place. Duke Nukem 3D was the first shooter I ever played, and since then I've played not only shooters, but other games as well.

It's a sad day for me, because 3D realms was one of the places I was considering getting a job at...now that both Ensemblem Studios, and 3D realms are gone, I only have Gearbox and id software. What the hell is with Texas gaming companies closing down lately?

Here's to the Duke, because nobody steals our chicks...and lives.
