This episode isn't about a murder, but it is around one. Back in 2008 the OP excitedly shared stories of helping to build a submarine with an eccentric Danish visionary.

Duke Nukem Forever spent 14 years in development. An entire generation of gamer dudes had their hopes dashed in 2011 when it finally released to mediocre reviews and backlash from players. Thanks to Something Awful's Duke Nukem Forever thread, we can re-live that fateful moment when a bunch of gamers realized that Capture The Babe is maybe a bit problematic now that they aren't teenagers anymore.In Part One we are on the eve of release, with true believers pushing back against an underwhelming demo

Being a nerd means sometimes you're in the right place at the right time to be on the cutting edge of an emerging field. In the early 2010s unmanned aerial vehicles were taking off, and one enterprising model rocketry nerd was in the right place at the right time to ride them to hog heaven. Or hog hell, depending on how you look at it. Lots of (invasive) animal death in this one!Bumper Music:Nine Inch Nails - March of the PigsPig Destroyer - The Torture FieldsSlayer - Killing FieldsPink Floyd - Pigs
