Goodbye 3D Realms and Duke Nukem

As a shock to only the hardest of the hardcore believers in a sequel to Duke Nukem, 3D Realms has shutdown. Hell I've gone through college, had three jobs, and am about to get married in the time since Duke Nukem Forever was announced. Another site provides other things that have happened since Duke Nukem Forever was first announced. Here, however, is the most amazing:

"The two Mars rovers, Spirit and Opportunity were proposed, authorized, announced, designed, launched and successfully landed upon Mars where they have been exploring the surface for over 2.5 years."

NASA sent not one but two probes to goddamn Mars in that same time period. If NASA is beating your timetables you got some serious damn issues.

Goodbye Duke we had some fun 14 years ago but it is over now and has been for a long damn time.

Teabagging for Jesus

Now dang it you crazy conservatives quit stealing the cool stuff. What do I mean by this? Basically the entire teabagging thing has stolen a term for an action which my friends and I thoroughly enjoy performing when playing online shooters. It's irrevrant, humorous, and pretty childish but since we all act like drunken frat boys when playing games it never ceases to cause us giggles when a ferocious teabagging occurs particularly against snipers as they are the lowest of the low and deserve nothing man sac. In fact our unofficial clan was called [TfJ] (Teabagging for Jesus) because if you are going to drop to your knees in holy prayer, there might as well be someones face full of your nuts.

After a while we started naming the dang things as the skillset we acquired needed to be recognized. There was the worm (jump, crouch, dive on the face), the flying squirrel (jump off a building and land on their face), the Ron Jeremy (parachute down onto their face nice and slow), and of course the tea and crumpets (two man teabagging, no sword play allowed). Teabagging with vehicles was of course authorized and encourged after we figured out how to make the walker vehicles in BF2142 go into a prone position.

Otherwise, sorry I haven't posted in a while, my digital crack affliction came back and has been entertaining me with shiny new loot
