6:50 Well, the name "Siskova" may be translated as "Bobbies". Sometimes we use last names (like Ivanov, Petrov, Raganovich) instead of regular names (Like Ivan, Andrei or Natasha), and russian second names sometimes have suffix "-ova\-eva" (depends on the gender). And the word "Siski" in russian means literally "boobies". So Duke may think about Natasha Boobies and Nastya Boobies

[@peacemaster8117]

I'm glad someone actually left a comment explaining the joke, even though I'm still not sure I get it.

[@insanejughead]

@@peacemaster8117 I know I'm late, but typical Russian syntax is backwards from English. So, instead of saying "Natasha's Boobies" in English, it would read closer to "The boobies of Natasha" in Russian. And there aren't articles in Russian, so it would translate more directly as "boobies Natasha" unless the modifiers of the words are present. This is not easy to explain while drunk, that is for sure.

There's definitely, as in any profession, cynical folks who do the bare minimum because they want the paycheck, not necessarily the job. Most of us work those kinds of jobs, so I don't hate those folks, but yes, some of them are easy to spot when they just read the press release plus 'I enjoyed it/didn't enjoy it' as the last paragraph which is wholly their own. Then again, games journalism is a racket, has been since the mid 80s and folks act like it JUST NOW became a problem...or that the problems it has are exclusive to this one industry. Oh shit, am I making a Civvie style comment offhanded in a weird adjacent fuck off about something which is supposed to be simple and is actually far more complicated than most people care to donate brain function to? Maybe. My next magic trick is causing heads in the comment section to catch fire when they read me talking about gamergate having nothing to do with games journalism. WHOO! Stay tuned for that one!

Definitely leads to an endless string of jokes seeing as how Duke is basically the antithesis of every SH protagonist ever.

Somebody call up Gianni and get him to voice a couple lines! There's also an interesting side to that whole scenario too, if you were to swap out Duke for James in SH2 or a copy cat game like Downpour.

@@Mightylcanis It was something about a sprite, along with one of the devs being less than subtle about his views. I’ve honestly forgotten the specifics, I try to forget about it.

[@NinjaNezumi]

The Build Engine has a bug where if the enemy doesn't load up into memory properly it will have infinite health. This can result from numerous actions, one of them being quick saving at the wrong time, then loading from that quick save. Fun Fact: all of the SSI Dungeons and Dragons First Person Perspective games have the same bug. All of those engines came out during the same period, and I think it had something to do with a programming theory that was being used to expand beyond initial limitations of DOS. It took me 20 years of playing Ravenloft: Strahd's Possession before I experienced the bug in the SSI engine. So whatever bug it is it's pretty rare and hard to trigger. I only experienced the bug once in Blood on the train, iirc.

Weird it still lacks a proper re-release on digital storefronts, though the Xbox 360 version is backwards compatible with the Xbox One and Series X. I think it's due to legal problems as 3D Realms and 2K published the 2006 original but at some point Bethesda got the rights to the IP (it's a similar problem with Raven's 2009 Wolfenstein game). Hell apparently the 2017 game wasn't even originally intended to be called "Prey" but Bethesda told Arkane "hey own the IP rights to the Prey name, why not just use that?" so Arkane went with it since the name still fit the game despite no connections to the 2006 game (Prey 2017 is a System Shock styled immersive sim as opposed to a traditional FPS).

If you ever actually want to play the cursed Randy version, there’s a way to solve the mouse acceleration issues. Go into your video card options, find the EXE for the game, and both turn off V-Sync and set up a framerate cap. (Thanks to the friendly folks in the Steam Discussions for the game for sharing this information.) Or you could just use eDuke, because someone made a stopgap for it (which Civvie has used!) that lets you play the fifth episode with that port.

[@johnmendon18]

Funnily enough, Deadspace 1 has this exact same issue but instead of mouse acceleration issues its physics engine and collision detection incorporate the FPS so at 350 fps (which a toaster can do) EVERY ragdoll jiggles constantly. ...it's a good time.

There's some issues you didn't mention about the cursed Randy version that I absolutely loathe, so here they are: - Sometimes the game will randomly switch into another weapon after you fire a single shot as if you ran out of ammo; - Sometimes Assault Troppers fly somewhere you can't reasonably hit them in levels that are particularly tall; - The scrolling weapon switch is janky and slow so you're better off just using the numbers anyway; - Keycards ocasionally want you to eat shit and won't activate even when you're breathing into the slot so sometimes you'll just have to back away and try to use one at very specific angles, which can be absolutely infuriating if you want to speedrun a level or are trying to escape a room full of enemies when you don't have ammo to deal with all of them; - The issue of getting squished in very specific corners of maps that shouldn't be allowed to do so still happens; - Because Gearbox is full of dumbasses instead of fixing the online play the same issues from the Megaton Edition carried over, meaning that even though you'll hardly if ever encounter lag (unless you play on specific large levels with the Devastator and have the 3D render on, specifically on Duke Match indoors, thanks Randy) and you'll most likely get disconnected often for no reason, sometimes the game tells you it's because the host left (which 9/10 was me when I played with friends, so... Not true) and most of the times the game doesn't even tell you why. For some reason that's a bigger issue in Campaign, doesn't happen nearly as often on Duke Match. Outside of that, great video, enjoyable as always, I pretty much agree that most of the levels are amazing, but the last boss is indeed shit, I wouldn't even mind the fact it's a reskin if it was at least fun, and to make it so all it would have taken was making the arena smaller and the range of the flamethrower longer. Such a shame.

[@LonelySpaceDetective]

I like ambient occlusion, but *really* not for games that have simplistic lighting, shading and/or geometry like DN3D. That effect only really looks good when the game already has fairly decent lighting/shading and geometry, and even with World Tour DN3D doesn't have either. Applying AO or raytracing to games like this to me is something of a lighting/shading equivalent of those HD texture packs for DOOM and Minecraft and shit, that look so incredibly off because the underlying geometry is still very primitive. Chromatic abberation though can fuck right off, unless you're actively trying to go for a VHS recording look or something.
