Its only 4:50 here. Ugh. This is gonna be a long wait, and I dare not go to sleep now or i'll snore right through it.

IF there is anything to happen, IF, i'd really like to see it live.

Hope the servers arent too bogged down when PAX starts.

nothing that Akamai can't handle

Hope so. I remember how heavy the burden was over at 3DR back in 2007. That was some exciting stuff, everything came crashing down. Never underestimate hype.

Akamai is seriously currently the best you can get - if Akamai can't handle it then nobody can.

[Master Fibbles]

Threads on 3DR have gone on for days about rumors and then were subsequently locked once it was confirmed that the rumors were false. Don't look at how long the 3DR thread on this rumor is as an indication for the truth or falsity of the rumor. Just saying.

That said, I'll have to check this all later this afternoon since I have classes all day and such. We shall see...

Just finished watching DNF material. Started with the ol 98 trailer, then 01, then 07, then the Brian Brewer video.

Probably going overboard, but I gotta kill time while I wait. Too late to try and sleep now. No doubt i'd sleep through the event.

Have 2K PAX live feed in an open window already and not closing till the feed stops broadcasting - don't want to miss it!!

dude excellent find - hope they are selling the shirts also - I want at least a dozen

[Bbass]

What are the contents of the link from Jobi - i'm currently in China and most twitter/ blog sites are blocked. No VPN yet either.

Have been lurking here for years (not posted much) but I follow these threads when I can.

I'd be grateful if you could tell me what it is.

Cheers

[Jobi-Wan Kenobi]

it's Randy Pitchford wearing a come get some Shirt!

[Bbass]

Thanks (though i'm not sure who Randy Pitchford is).

Thanks anyway

[MusicallyInspired]

Randy Pitchford is the President/CEO(?) of Gearbox, the company that the rumour says is finishing off DNF.

I'd feel safer that it was actually about DNF if the shirt said "Always bet on Duke!" But I'll take what I can get.

New version of Grabbag I stumbled upon. Listen and celebrate!

That's actually quite good! Best most faithful remix of the Lee Jackson original track yet! Very well done!

[Kristian Joensen]

Randy Pitchford = Gearbox Leader/Co-Founder.

[MusicallyInspired]

There you go.

[Bbass]

Thanks all. It's pretty frustrating having no youtube, blogs, etc.

[PokeThePower]

Damn... that shirt is from 1995. Mine like it have long since been retired to boxes so that they don't totally fade.

[MusicallyInspired]

Haha this is pretty cool. The news item at computerandvideogames.com here [url]http://www.computera...e.php?id=262868[url] shows the video of 2010 DNF footage using my Grabbag mega-mix. I'm a little proud.

I wanna see two things today. #dukenukem trending and crashed servers. http://www.ustream.tv/2kgameslive http://yfrog.com/20vdkj

OH MY GODDD!

I just exclaimed Holy SHit! outloud

[PokeThePower]

Indeed. I've had it for quite some time... but figured with all this excitement... this event was big enough to justify adding another bit.
