6/11 Update:  Here's the newly released footage.  Skip 7 minutes and 30 seconds into the video to skip the annoying bullshit that precedes the DNF content.  If you live outside the US and are blocked from viewing the video, get it from here thanks to Serge.  You can also view it on Youtube.

Shacknews got to talk with 3D Realms' CEO and founder Scott Miller, who announced that they have several titles heading for the iPhone, including three unannounced Duke titles.

More Duke to go around for you handheld-videogames fans.

We'd like to announce that we've started expanding Duke4.net by hosting new Duke Nukem-based sites.  You can check these out by going to the links in the "Hosted Sites" menu to the left.  Furthermore, if you have a Duke Nukem website of your own, we're accepting applications for those interested in free hosting on Duke4.net.  Through our collaboration with Plagman and TerminX, we hope to continue growing over the years on an infrastructure backed by non-centralized management, which essentially means that we're immortal.

We would also like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has been so generous (and continues to be generous) by participating in our Duke Nukem affiliation program with GoG.  If you've missed out on buying Duke Nukem 3D and Duke Nukem Manhattan Project for cheap, with full XP and Vista compatilbity without compatiblity or copyright hassles, make sure you check out the program.

Mark passed this along to us today:

With E3 coming up, it got me thinking of E3s of old. At E3 in Atlanta back in '98 they gave out these cool poker chips and playing cards as promo material for the game Duke Nukem Forever. You had to stand in line and spin a giant wheel which determinded what you got. They only gave you one item... I stood in line for half the day just to get a few chips and a deck of cards.
 
With the demise of Duke Forever I dug them out and took this pic. Thought Duke4.net readers would enjoy it.
 
I wonder how much I could get for them on ebay now. All in MINT Condition.

Remember our last news item about GoG?  We just love these guys, because now they're sponsoring us EVERY time you buy their products through clicking their banners on our website.  So if you love Duke games and you love Duke4.net, here's your chance to show it.  But wait, that's not all.  Purchasing classic games from GoG means you don't have to deal with DRM shit like Securom or Safedisk, and you get full XP and Vista compability with everything you download.

We have several news items to present today, and there's more to come over the next few weeks.  There's just been LOTS of shit happening in the background with our website, and the future ahead for us is so bright that I was blinded for a second.

First up, we asked Clint to loan us his vocal talent once more to create a sound pack for use with the Duke3D HRP in the future.  Well, while we're not so sure if the HRP folks will embrace the idea, the awesome developer(s) behind Duke Plus might want to pick it up.  If not, we're still sharing the soundpack here because Clint put good effort towards it, and replicating Jon St. John in high definition is cool.

Next up, our very own Liquid has once again reached an orgasmic breakpoint with Grabbag through an update to one of his remixes.  The original MP3 dates back to 2005, but Liquid souped it the fuck up with a kick-ass new drumline.  Check it out.

Last but not least, "Fuegerstef" from our forums posted an interesting topic yesterday concerning Zero Punctuation's satirical review of Duke Nukem Forever, following the recent dramatic events sorrounding the game.  It's worth a laugh and a few minutes of your time, so check it out!

That's all for now, folks!

BEHOLD!

Hey guys, we've decided to go ahead with our plan to offer hosted sites here on Duke4. This is a step towards having another sort of Duke megacenter as Dukeworld was back in the late 90s. What we're going to do now is start accepting applications for hosting, and as soon as we get 10 or so that we want to go through with I'll set everything up and you guys can start hosting your content here instead of having to find your own hosting somewhere else.


As for the hosting capabilities:

• No bandwidth limits
• No real disk space limits (though if you start taking up enough that I actually notice it, expect me to be looking)
• Offers the latest versions of Apache, PHP, MySQL, et cetera
• FTP access
• Everything will be personally managed by me on service graciously donated by Plagman
• Free to all sites pertaining to Duke or Build

Granted there's a lawsuit that might not be settled for another year, and that no company has been eager to fund 3D Realms, take the following news with more than a grain of salt so it won't leave a bad taste of (bull)shit in your mouth.
