Duke Nukem was a fantastic 2D side-scrolling platformer that was released for the PC back in 1991.  Duke Nukem 2 was released shortly afterward in 1993 and Duke 3 was the first 3D Duke released in 1996.  Duke 4 was announced in 1997.  Duke 4 is set for release in 2011.

I have written about Duke on this site here before.  The last time was June of 2008 (go ahead and check the archive).  I won't keep talking about the long hard road it has been but I really did give up hope.  I was sure that we would never see it when the company making it went out of business.  The rights and property for the project was picked up by another company who realized the brand recognition was too great to just let go.

Some screen grabs from "Marge Gets A Job".  Episode 7 from season 4.  A memorable and great episode.

Lots of video game stuff today but that's not all!  Please to be enjoy it.

I almost lost the whole site.  If you hadn't noticed, jasonschlueter.com went down at about 21:00, Sunday 8/29/2010.  I almost lost everything.  Remember what I said in the previous post about backing up?  Boy howdy.  I think that everything is working.  Please report any oddities but we should be back to normal.

Thanks Erin and Rescue Cat.  That cat is my backup and I am that stuffed shark but only half as smart.

Erin finished up her step 2 licensing exam on Friday.  It was a nine hour test.  She deserves a high-five.  And a cake!

My sister Lisa turns 14 or something today.  Lisa designed the snake logo.

We received a link yesterday to our professionally done wedding photos.  I warn you now, there are just over a thousand photos but they might be fun to browse.  I have quite a few favorites.

We went to the fair today.  We both had a good time.  I took a picture and one video.  Here they are.

When I was a kid, my local library would occasionally have "clearance" sales to get rid of outdated books.  They were always sold at an incredible discount however I hardly see the value in a twenty-five year old Farmer's Almanac or or three volumes of a fifty volume encyclopedia.

I did get a kick out of the old computer books.  I don't know if I learned anything useful from them but it made me look smarter to have them around.

This site called Awful Library Books posts reader images and scans of, well, awful library books.  There are some bad ones.  Some are now politically incorrect or scientifically unimportant.  There's a good one about helicopters.  This one about Burt Reynolds is my favorite.  Maybe even if it's a bit creepy.

I didn't write this but it was sent to me again today.
