I have to confess I didn't buy Duke Nukem Forever until it was a dollar on Onlive. I was excited because GearBox was doing it(though I later found out they were just a cleaning crew). I joined the first access club and all that. I played the Demo when it first came out. It looked dated and was generally not enjoyable. HL2 looked nicer and had better physics. Anyway I think because I took that "Why is Duke Nukem awful?" survey they sent me some swag. They sent to my old address but the missus sent me pics and I wanted to share.

I like GearBox. They for all their faults seem like a decent group. From what I've gleaned 2K had a shitty incomplete DNF they wanted too recoup losses from and contracted Gearbox to finish it. I can't imagine what it's state was before gearbox touched it. It also seems like theres some sort of profit sharing in the contract because Gearbox seems to be infatuated with supporting the game and trying to win back gamer support for future releases(I'll admit that DLC they're selling for a game that's already failed was pretty dumb though. Anyway here the swag..

Note* I still haven't played it. Tried. Everything on Onlive looks like shit.
