Duke
Nukem is definitely known for his one-liners, do you have a favorite one?
“I had eggs for breakfast, your mom had sausage” (in Duke’s
voice) (laughs) You know, I like… “I’ve got balls of steel” and “I’ll
rip your head off and shit down your neck”. Those are personal favorites of mine.
Nice.
Can you say anything about the one-liners in this game? (Duke Nukem Forever)
Well, the “Eggs and Sausage” is from this game.
You know, they took the original line where Duke would say “I’ll rip your head off and shit down your neck”
– and now it’s been replaced with “I’ll rip out your eyeball and piss on your brain”.
Plus there are many – many more. Duke has so many hilarious one-liners in this game.
Most of the script, by the way, written by women.
Oh, really? Wow.
Yeah. (laughs) Surprise!
So they can’t complain
about it later – or sue the game over it.
No, no they can’t… a woman wrote this stuff – so let’s see chicks complain
about this game. (in Duke’s voice…) Duke would tell them all to bite me.
I’m sure there are
quite a few younger gamers out there that aren’t that familiar with the franchise – how would you describe the
game to them? If this was their first time picking it up.
Well, I’d tell them that it is a first person shooter –
it’s very sexy – your parents DON’T want you to play it. That should be encouragement
enough right there. And it’s highly interactive. It’s so interactive that
when you shrink yourself with the shrink-ray, which is one of Duke’s coolest weapons ever… you know, you can
shoot a mirror and shrink yourself… you can even climb into an RC truck and drive it – or you can walk up to
a telephone and make a call, you can walk up to a pinball machine and play it, you can reach into a toilet and grab a turd.
(laughs) It is highly interactive. If you are a teenage boy – and just coming up
and starting to play games – what’s more fascinating than reaching into a toilet and picking up a turd?
(laughs)
And I hear this one actually has nudity in it, I don’t remember the other games having full nudity.
 Uh, well – you know, when you went into the strip club in Duke Nukem 3D you could hit the space bar and say “Shake
it baby” and they’d lower their top. Not much of a thrill back then, but the graphics now are
so good. I mean, you’ve seen the girls in the demo, right?
Oh yeah.
Alright, imagine them getting naked for you, and they do.
That’s good
enough incentive for most listeners out there. What else would you tell people in order to get them
to play this game?
(in Duke’s voice…) Because I’ve got
kids that are in college, and I need to pay for it. (laughs) So buy five copies of my freaking
game! (laughs) No, I would just say that for fans of Duke Nukem – you cannot pass up on getting Duke Nukem
Forever. And to other gamers our there who play other first person shooter games, you know, most of those
games are… you’re under somebody’s command, you’re military, you are a grunt doing grunt work…
whatever. When you play Duke Nukem Forever, you are the king baby. You make your own
decisions, nobody tells you what to do or how to play – and it’s good to be the king.
