Aviating porkers

Those of you who remember the absolutely awesome days of playing Duke Nukem 3D and co on old ass Windows machines will know that two days ago, pigs flew.

That’s right, the 3D Realms president George Broussard joked that the cigar smoking, babe hunting, beer drinking hit man would be back when pigs flew. Well, take a look at his Twitter status from a couple of days ago.

Indeed, Duke is coming back to the arena. Back home to shrink and step on more aliens than ever before. Gearbox have taken on the ghastly high profile task of bring back this awesome FPS. Can they do it? We’ll find out in 2011. It’s going to be a massive project for them, and I’m really really hoping they pull it off. I’ll certainly be waiting for my copy on the Xbox 360.
