Duke Nukem Forever Demo Preview
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Believe it or not, Ars Technica actually recieved a working Duke Nukem Forever Demo. And it's platform independant!
From the ReadMe.txt file, I also found out why we've been waiting so long for Duke Nukem Forever. Wanting Duke Nukem Forever to run on all platforms, but not wanting to bust a nut writing three different versions (not to mention having to come up with both PowerPC and x86 binaries for Mac OS X), the developers came up with a clever solution. Duke Nukem Forever has been rewritten as an Ajax application written using the Ruby on Rails framework. What it means is that Duke Nukem Forever has skipped a generation and is the first true Web 3.0 application, and it runs entirely in your web browser. Any web browser, on any platform... well almost.
Read the preview from here.

Runs in a web browser...Sounds bizarre. I wonder if you're able to do full screen then.

Very good for an April Fools joke, the author did a good job on the article if I do say so myself.

Web 2.0 isn't even out yet, how can there be a web 3.0?
I didn't even read the article before calling bullshit, now it's blatantly scary and obvious and terrifying that anyone could fall for it.

Dude, you guys just don't get it, why would he make that up? The game is real, they even have links for you to buy it and a retail price, he couldn't just make that stuff up.
*Edit* Touche arstechnica.com, touche
I got a great laugh out of it, btw has anyone been to thinkgeek.com today?

lol, I think that's like the third year in a row someone used DNF as an April fools prank.

DNF will continue to be an april fool's prank until some time in the late fourty fifth century, when the game finally gets released.
