This Wednesday: Hail to the King, Duke Nukem 3D is back

by Ross Miller on Sep 22nd 2008 1:40PM

Lines you're likely to hear from this week's Xbox Live Arcade release, Duke Nukem 3D:

"What are you waiting for? Christmas?"
"It's time to kick ass and chew bubble gum. And I'm all out of gum"
"I ain't afraid of no quake!"
"What are you? Some bottom-feeding, scum sucking algae eater?"
"Hmm, that's one "Doomed" Space Marine."
"I should have known those alien maggots booby trapped the sub."
"And I thought 10 guns was hard to carry!"
"Damn! I'm looking good!"
"Nobody jacks with our Independence!"
"I can't wait to play myself in Duke Nukem Forever, coming Fall 1998."

Killing alien scum will cost you 800

($10).

Damn, that's the second time those alien bastards shot up my ride!

"I stole lines from Ash in the Evil Dead series"

And Roddy Piper in They Live

I honestly can't remember seeing golden showers in video games since Duke Nukem.

$10? Fuck you, Microsoft.

Really?

I bought this for $10 10 years ago on PC. No thanks.

I think the 4 player co-op, VS modes. New replay and rewind features merit the $10 price. But to each their own.

$10 isn't really that bad.

You guys are complaining about $10? You may want a raise on your allowance.

honestly, what did you expect the price to be?

"I got balls of steel!"

Actually I need a new points card.

Glad you posted it, cause if nobody else did I was.

This game was so rad growing up. I remember being blown away because you could flush the toilet with the space bar.

I remember being blown away by the fact you could shot the toilet and drink the water to replenish your health. I had this game on N64, which before now i say is the definitive version of the game. I also thought Duke Nukem: Zero Hour was the bomb.

Shake it, Baby.

Can someone go line by line and tell me all the movies and shows those lines are from? Or are some original?

They're from the game.

Duke Nukem 3D
Duke Nukem 3D
Duke Nukem 3D
Duke Nukem 3D
Duke Nukem 3D
Duke Nukem 3D
Duke Nukem 3D

Some are original, most are "borrowed" from movies and pop culture.

* "It's time to kick ass and chew bubble gum. And I'm all out of gum"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OImKPh6N_Lw
This comes from the movie They Live starring Roddy Piper. This movie has one of the coolest fight scenes ever:

* "I ain't afraid of no quake!"
Original line in reference to the game Quake id software.

* "What are you? Some bottom-feeding, scum sucking algae eater?"
Original line

* "Hmm, that's one "Doomed" Space Marine."
Original line in reference to Doom by id software.

The rest of the quotes here are pretty much original. The other movie quotes from DN3D are

"Get away from her you bitch!"
from the classic sci-fi film Aliens

"Hail to the king baby!"
from the cult classic Army of Darkness

"Yippie ka-yay, motherfucker!"
from the classic action film Die Hard

The line "Groovy" could also be attributed to Ash from the Evil Dead series...I guess.

"The line "Groovy" could also be attributed to Ash from the Evil Dead series...I guess."

Yup, Ash said it when he upgraded his chopped-off hand for a badass chainsaw/shotty combo.

Awesome...

Yeah, I know Ash said it, but he didn't exactly coin the phrase.

Thanks Boffo. I was curious. Dirty is such a loser, BTW.

I'd have to say "I ain't afraid of no Quake" is a reference... not sure the phrasing "I ain't afraid of no _____" is really common language.

All Hail Duke Nukem, the king of Corny lines.

Humf humf, where is it?

Yeah, piece of cake.

I'd buy this if it came to PS3. Since it won't, i can only hope it makes its way on to steam one day.

What the fuck

Why would you have a PS3 and not a 360, are you a dense spacker who doesnt like games, instead waiting on tenterhooks to the noises of BS that the sony execs shat at you?

Enjoy your limited gaming library. I'm going to purchase this as soon as its available and have some good times whilst you and the SDF circlejerk over the LBP features being removed one by one and claiming its for the best.

Damn, so now we are harassing people because they don't own a specific system? nice.

ed,...

The reason i chose a PS3 over the 360 is due to the fact the PC has received nearly every game that i have been interested in on the 360 9-12 months after the initial release date. PS3 games that spark my interest do not find their way to the PC as easily.

It's too bad you're such a closed minded individual that anyone who doesn't agree with your limited thought process becomes labeled a fanboy. Instead, you waste your time being a whore disguised as a loyal console owner to take sides with video game manufacturers that makes money off of you. I post the faults of the PS3 all the time, and think the 360 is an excellent system, but unfortunately it's not for me. You're doing the job of advertisers by prancing around on forums promoting the 360, and while they're making millions, you're not seeing a damn thing. Have some self respect. Seriously.

Why was Duke allowed to steal the "Kick ass/bubble gum" line from Roddy Piper without incident? WHYYYYYYYYYYY

Because it's parody more than theft. Duke Nukem's a parody of action heros & films from the 80's/early 90's

Definitely, worth $10 easy, but I can't get it until my rrod is fixed.
(And yes, I will be mentioning it a lot until I get it back.)

Anything else coming this week or just a 12-year old game that looked okay when it came out, and only played great if you were using a VR helmet?

What game are you talking about? Is Mechwarrior 2 coming out this week or something? My friends and I spent an inordinate amount of after school time playing Duke Nukem 3D back in the day, and it played great for us without any fancy VR helmet.

@Boffo:

If MechWarrior 2 came to XBLA I'd die from happiness.

I remember playing Duke 3D on a Pentium 166 with 32MB of ram, with pixels so large they could take your eye out if you looked too close.

I can't imagine this having aged very well, but hey, it has achievements.

I was hoping this would be $5 like Doom is now. However, the game was really fun years ago, and this has online play. I can probably get enough friends to relive $10 worth of nostalgia with me it'll be more than worth it. :)

"I can't wait to play myself in Duke Nukem Forever, coming Fall 1998."

Look how that turned out.

Your Face or your ass, whats the difference?

"I'll rip your head off and shit down your neck!"

Classic. Need to buy a Points card now.
