Thats how Jon St. John, the longtime voice of Duke Nukem, described sitting on the sidelines and watching the well documented twelve year history of Duke Nukem Forever unfold. WowI lost count, he said when asked how many times he has recorded and re-recorded dialogue for Duke Nukem Forever. Its been through so many different phases and changes, but whenever they call me, Im ready to go."
Duke Nukem Forever was Twitter's No. 1 worldwide trending topic yesterday, over two global natural disasters. You'd better believe it's the biggest news here, even against three other stories that would have carried a week by themselves.
