For all of Randy's flaws, I think he was a good level designer. He should have stayed a level designer though because he's been incompetent at everything else and only gets by on the backs of everyone else who isn't incompetent.
@Randy Burton Well then, it'll be interesting to see how things go if and when Civvie does Half-Life and its expansions. With that in mind, d'you think he'll cover Decay in the event of Half-Life coverage? After all, it's the secret co-op expansion to Half-Life that stayed on PS2 but got an unofficial PC release later on. ...come to think of it, Half-Life: Decay would probably be the perfect crossover point for Civvie's Dungeon and Ross's Game Dungeon. After all, Civvie would probably need someone to handle the second character, and while he could just reel in Katie or Hammer or maybe CV-18, getting Ross on-side would be absolutely perfect.
I loved this expansion. I remember being 8 and getting it from the throw out bin at a Harvey Norman. I didn’t realize I needed the full game for it to work but soon found out after I installed it on the family PC. It came with free wallpapers and a screen saver of dead monster bodies falling from the top of the screen with noise. It also self installed itself without me knowing. It was summer so I fell asleep in the lounge room because that was the only room with an aircon. I woke up with the pc making dead monster noises and the screen of the PC covered in dead bodies. I was scared as shit.
2020 January: Australia is on fire February: US almost goes to war with Iran March: Whole countries close due to a pandemic April: Civvie 11 has to admit Randy did something good.
Currently, Krakatoa exploded with fire, lightning, and brimstone. There's giant swarms of locusts rampaging throughout the Middle East and heading towards China.
My friend actually defended Randy screwing the devs out of their bonus with 'well production cost for the game was far more than expected.' When I mentioned that Randy still got his cut he didn't care.
Not surprising considering how man gamerzTM are willing to defend and boot-lick their favourite company/ video game franchise. The moment it's a game they aren't going hardcore fanboy over it, they turn into massive hypocrites. It goes like this: "Bad managers! Bad company! Inhumane! Inhumane! Pay the people who are working for you! Gamer rage smash on reddit and twitter! Reeeee! ... But no shitting on my CD Project red. Me want Cyberpunk 2077 to be released as fast as possible. Me no care about lives of developers. Crunch more for my entertainment!" These people are also probably the piss-sacks who sent death threats to developers and writers for game delays and games not being written as exactly like they want it to.
So I discovered Civvie when Ross Scott shouted out his Kreed video. And I gotta say, going though his backlog and continuing forward: it's always nice to see a RUclipsr get more talented and funny as time goes on.
That intro cutscene for "The Birth" was the early warning sign for what we'd see in DNF. If Randy Pitchford doesn't have some deep seated alien pregnancy/childbirth fetish, I'm left wondering who the fuck at 3D Realms does, and how the hell that stuff made it into the Duke games.
@@protectordrone3375 In Duke 3D, yes. The Birth intro has a fully nude pregnant woman "giving birth." Which implies direct penetrative alien rape. Which, yes, in the Alien universe there are THEMES of rape because of what the facehugger is and does, but here there is A. Conscious direct intention behind the aliens actions, and B. It's literally rape. Though I would have to disagree with the OP, as DNF 2001 wasn't nearly as horny. It had Slick Willy and some girls in it, but there was never any Hive level where you saw women getting directly inseminated by alien parasites. Even Duke3D only vaguely implied the nefarious intent. For DNF they literally drew concept art of captured women in four different sex positions to show how the "Pregnators" could "mount" them. One of the various pregnator designs basically gave them the organic equivalant to a genealogical spreading tool, for fucks sake. DNF took it wayyyy too far. More specifically, it failed to pick a tone. Either you're going to do body horror and treat that shit like the genuine nightmare it is, or you're going to be a Naked Gun knock off with Benny Hill sex humor. You can't do both in the same game and have it work. That's the big issue there. Like, the hive would work in DNF 2001 or Duke 3D, because t hose games *generally* take the threat of the alien invasion seriously. Duke is on a quest to save the world, and that means something. In DNF 2011 it doesn't mean anything, so all of the creepiness of naked women being raped by aliens is on full display, and is especially jarring when you realize that the girls say some really awful things like "Daddy told me it was okay to swallow."
Stuff like this and the Half Life 1 expansions show at one point at least Randy wasn't the greaselord he is now as he had some design chops back then, but once he became a CEO the grease took over his brain and he became the scumbag he is now. I honestly feel sorry for the Gearbox devs who are genuinely passionate about what they make, especially since I actually really do like Borderlands, because their boss alone is responsible for giving the company a bad rep.
I don't think so. Civvie even points out, a lot of the maps Randy "made" were either started by someone else, or finsihed by someone else. Also he has since thrown Valve under the bus for "screwing Gearbox over" which is ridiculous. If not for Valve, Gearbox would never have achieved lift off.
When you mentioned not knowing about the pig tank self destruct, I thought and honestly can't remember how I found out, none of my friends had the fourth episode and I'm pretty sure i never read a walkthrough for the game, My only guess is I saw the nuke logo on their back and assumed it can be pressed like the level exit
blackrave404 Let's not forgot Duke Nukem Advance. My first Duke game and the best FPS on the Gameboy Advance. It's also the only Duke game that's winnable on Damn I'm Good difficulty, even on original hardware. (It's basically normal Blood level)
"Or maybe of one of its sequels where Tom Cruise has some kinda long running bet with the Grim Reaper..." That... sounds like throwing shade and also praising the series at the same time. Like it's a joke at MI's expense about how ridiculous Cruise's stunts get but at the same time acknowledging the risks taken. *clap* *clap*
*1:* On the one hand, it's kind of a ball-buster to give an enemy a super-secret weakness like that. But on the other hand, I can't help but admire secret pro solutions like that. *2:* The whole "Duke don't like Duke Burger" reminds me of how Krusty can't stand his own Krusty Burgers. "Ugh I almost swallowed some of the juice." *3:* Lovely to see the origins of Duke's voice in this vid. Gotta love that Jon St John. There's a reason why he's got so many voice credits in games: he is indeed king. And still going strong at 59! *4:* Yikes. I've heard of a hung jury before, but that's pretty dark. *5:* Randy had his moments, but he's sadly not the greatest of people. Definitely got some dark triad traits to him. *6:* I reckon that Assault Commander must have clipped through the level and is currently being a chunky gribbler in null_space. #ImFree *7:* "This all-out assault can't be good for me, but I feel GREAT." *8:* I know we're supposed to be weirded out by the tiddies on the Queen, but frankly I was more taken aback by Duke sticking a pipe bomb up her foof. *9:* Uh oh. Looks like we've got ourselves a new story arc for the Dungeon: Civvie's super-duper PC looks like it's going to turn the whole place into the Crypt of the Flesh. I guess that's what happens when you combine the hair of a god with a cursed tablet from the Ruins of Salahkantar (or however you spell it).
Krusty couldn't stand the taste of his own Krusty Burgers because Krusty products were all of terrible quality, and it's implied he knows what goes into them.
Respect for you admitting that, despite how you feel about the guy, Randy's OG Duke levels are great. EDIT: Fun fact - the level Derelict is actually a finished version of a map from Lame Duke - aka that weird early test build of Duke 3D that 3D Realms released for free way-back-when.
There's evidence implying that Going Postal and I think one other level were cut from Episode 3 as well. Should be somewhere on The Cutting Room Floor's series of articles on DN3D.
@Mike the guy I strongly disagree on your take on Romero. He might've had his super-star ego trip post-DOOM, but these days he is one of the most down-to-earth and approachable dudes from the original FPS guard. He is almost exactly the opposite of Pitchford now-a-days. For comparison, you can strike a conversation with Romero on Twitter - Pitchford will likely either block you or spam some Shift codes.
Rule of Thumb: Anyone who uses 'II' instead of just 'jr' after their name is likely of dubious character and should be avoided at all cost. Also, I appreciate that this video is a throwback to older - spotty audio balance - civvie.
Fuzzy Dunlop junior/senior is for exact names and only one generation of difference. Roman numerals only really applies to first names and is used to distinguish a plurality of generations.
Jr. means your father had the same name. II indicates your father and grandfather had the same name. III indicates your father, grandfather, and great-grandfather had the same name, and so on. Ignorance should be avoided, but there you go.
@@emmetedwards7726 II or 2nd mens your the second person in line with the name. So only your father would have it. Im the IV and my father, grandfather, and great grand father had the name before me.
What I always love about these videos is the educational value. Another level pack, that's cool, let's go, but Civvie isn't being a lazy ass like me, and actually does some research. I don't know about others, but I personally like hearing about some stuff that was going on behind the development (especially when I don't need to read huge amounts of text and all necessary information is already processed for my little brain).
Hey Daniel! If you see this let me know. Apparently a friend of mine I've known for years found your channel a while ago. For, of all things, covering the Capstone games that he actually played as a child.
Hell, that's how I found Civvie's channel. I was feeling nostalgic for Corridor 7, which I remember thinking was a pretty neat game as a kid. Maybe it was just the only science fiction FPS I had at the time, and I hadn't found Blake Stone: Aliens of Gold yet..
5:16 I felt the exact same way when I found out where to find the silencer and how to trigger the ghost cutscene in Silent Hill 3. I'd played the game an ungodly amount of times, yet I still had to have the internet tell me about these things. -.- When you know a game too well, you just enter this state where you're just going through the motions on subsequent playthroughs, which actually makes it harder to discover new things, I think.
@@arevalo8117 I agree. And I also HATE that enemies dont stagger or flinch when you shoot them in Blake Stone. Even Wolf3D had that. EVEN CATACOMB ABYSS HAD THAT, for crying out loud.
The wang had to show up......eventually. Also, are we gonna get a Duke It Out In D.C./Duke Caribbean: Life's A Beach special? Maybe World Tour when you're up for it?
He does flash a "for now" sign when he says he's finally done with Duke 3D, so I guess those are in the plans eventually. I certainly would like to see Civvie's take on World Tour.
The Birth was certainly an inspired additional episode. There are times I wish it was longer and had more bosses, but it definitely did a lot for Duke 3D. I suspect the level Derelict influenced and inspired the large ship levels in Cryptic Passage, Redneck Rampage Rides Again, No One Lives Forever, and Deus Ex. The Area 51 level used to make me think that Duke Nukem could incorporate any major sci-fi film into its universe. It's interesting that you thought Area 51 was building up to a big fight in the end, Civvie, because I originally expected Duke to fight a new and different boss once I activated the nukes. The Queen level may have been frustrating, but at the least the Queen herself was a nice boss. The 3D Realms staff ending with big heads was oddly prescient of what was to come with DNF. Good going on another great Duke analysis, Civvie.
15:57 I don't know why, but the Dude's voice was a nice addition to the Chernobyl footage, also is one of my favorite moments from the series and from this video, I also love the quote.
Dude, so glad you brought up how the pig cop tanks have a self destruct button! I've been playing Duke Nukem 3D for almost 25 years and I just learned about that trick a month ago myself!
Currently playing through Alien World Order, and you know what. It’s really good. Some of the most detailed levels I’ve seen in Duke 3D with thrilling combat encounters where old bosses become uncommon enemies, an evil new enemy that sets you on fire, a fun new weapon which is basically a flame thrower that one shots most of the weaker monsters, and giant open sprawling environments that feel lived in. So what I’m trying to say is....... Pro Alien World Order when Civvie?
Civvie going 'Randy did a good job' and both our souls leaving our bodies may mean that Pitchford actually feeds on human souls, and this is how he gathers them just food for thought
I first played Duke Nukem 3D on the Playstation 1, it had an extra set of levels called "Plug and Pray" i think they're good and i enjoyed them but for years whenever i mention them it's a guaranteed troll response. Either they suck because they were too difficult (but i think that was the point), or they're Playstation 1 exclusive and so non-cannon, not worth mentioning or adding to future re-releases (Even on the Playstation 4) ...Anyway, i would love if you did a video covering these seemingly hated and lost levels
Bruh same here, Plug and Pray in my opinion was the better 4th episode. It was way more challenging and fun for me. It had a final doom feeling to it. The new enemies were cooler too oh and that disco club.
I sort of like Plug and Pray (didn't grow up with the PS1 port), but the first level is really off-putting and probably the reason so many ditch it early. I love Tomb Raider, but the map is just a slog to get through. Love the WipEout level though, about lost my mind when I first saw it.
Fun fact, having been to the Gearbox Plano office before they moved to Frisco, I can tell you they used to have a giant sign showing the minimum wage on the cafeteria wall.
**Duke on the phone with Ken Silverman** Duke: I've got *BALLS OF STEEL!* **Capstone on the phone with Ken Silverman** Ken: Btw, how's that William Shatner game going?
11:07 I was wanting to try Borderlands 3. I liked the first two and was looking forward to the tons of different guns I could be getting and using, but Randy Pitchford is slimy and I don't like to support him. Then I heard that the developers were getting a cut of sales from the games sold. That was going to be enough to get me to actually buy Borderlands 3 even though I don't like supporting Gearbox in any way, shape or form anymore. Then this happened. Thanks Randy. You made my decision for me.
Fun story involving meeting Jon St. John: I used to work for a public broadcasting station while in college. I got media passes to attend a small video game convention where he was one of the guests of honor. A buddy and I approached him to see if we could snag a quick interview and he was cool with it. Not only did he answer questions but was cool with giving us station tag lines - short clips that would play between shows that drop the station ID. He did a few of them in the duke voice, and one where he walked out from behind a Duke cardboard cut out. We were STOKED. Now, mind you, he was visibly DRUNK AS FUCK but held it together and was still able to give us some great content for the station even while drunk. After all this, he asked us if we had any "booger sugar". We were good boys and sadly couldn't supply him, but we did have a prerolled blunt and smoked in the parking lot. He entertained us with some of his most wild convention stories. He left us, crossfaded and stumbling away leaving us with one last line in the Duke voice: "I'm gonna sleep good tonight." Sometimes I wonder if he found any coke and kept raging the rest of the night. Sadly, the footage from that event is lost to the bowels of time. WIsh I still had it so I could share it with Civvie.
Fun Fact: Since the entirety of "The Birth" was omitted from the N64 version of Duke Nukem (or maybe that version was released before Atomic Edition was, I don't remember), the Snake Plissken secret is found in the "Death Row" level, in a secret area. Speaking of Death Row, you would also find a reference to Hannibal Lecter in that level, in the area that, in the PC version, had the chapel. In the Nintendo version, however (since religious imagery was a big no-no for Nintendo), that room was replaced by a long hallway leading to both the Hannibal Lecter jail cell, as well as the recording room secret that you find in the "Pigsty" level in the PC version (another thing they had to move due to the lack of "The Birth" chapter in the N64 version)

God damnit Civvie, the council of boomers has spoken, you must do pro TNT Evilution and complete the doom official releases or be left permenantly shamed. If you really find it that hard to talk about then change things up by installing a gameplay mod like "nobody told me about ID" or something.
He hasn't done Ressurection of Evil and the lost levels for Doom 3 BFG and Doom 64. He should probably do all of them for a 1 video to get it done and out of the way, shouldn't really take that for the ones I've listed.
Something else I learned from playing episode 4 is that the teleporter death trick works with gibbing too, so if you blow up an Assault Captain while he's teleporting he'll come back and explode into guts.
You can kill Protector Drones with the door similar to the Sentry Drones. I don't know why, but instead of exploding, they get squished under the door just by walking towards it.
I honestly didn't expect to like episode 4 all that much since my experience with expansions made months after the fact with other games has ranged from mediocre to just plain bad, (even duke isn't free of this curse) but now having played it I think it might be my favorite out of the bunch. So many good levels.
Fun Fact: The Pigsty level is based on the police station massacre from the original Terminator, from the car crashing into the entrance to cutting out the power for the entire building.
Pistol starting Derelict & The Birth on Come Get Some w/ no quick saving had to be some of the most aggravating moments I've had with the game compared to the rest of the episodes, including World Tour's maps.
God... Between Duke Nukem, Shadow Warrior, EA Sports NCAA Football 97/98, GoldenEye 64, WCW-NWO Revenge, NBA Live and other stuff, it's a wonder I even graduated college... Of course in Grad school I discovered Half-Life, Team Fortress and Counter-Strike which made things even worse because my PC was too old and slow to run them. I had to go to one of the main computer labs, install Half-Life from a CD, then download CS plus a map pack just to play... This was easily an hour just to set up(!) and that was assuming the university servers weren't being bogged down by some science department's research... And I was only able to do this on Saturday/Sunday... Fun times!
Civvie , about the map "Its impossible" . In germany we say " Ein mal ist kein mal" which translates to "One time is no time" . Its meant that if randy did something once good then it doesnt mean everything is good.
I remember being stuck on duke burger level, where you have to go through a small vent and it took me years till I decided to look in a mirror and see a wall writing that says "think smaller" and it took me about the week to understand that I need to use a shrinker on myself, yeah I suck at those kinda hints
Area 51 is also the first episode of Duke Nukem Advance, which was my entry to the franchise. You have cells or sleeping quarters with toilets to break, 3 broken teleporters that link to each other in the same room and took all Duke's guns away according to the opening, a pair of operating tables with dead enforcers on them, a secret subway system designed for smuggling equipment in and out now full of frozen alien hybrids in cryostorage, and a hive styled area underground just past the subway where you meet the boss: a giant version of the spider crab things you meet in episode 4, only it fires rockets instead of green shit.

Damn you went there fucking roasted
I'm glad you roasted Randy. But did you have to roast half of LA with him?
So I discovered Civvie when Ross Scott shouted out his Kreed video. And I gotta say, going though his backlog and continuing forward: it's always nice to see a RUclipsr get more talented and funny as time goes on.
Honestly, I'd submit the script to Kreed to the Emmy's. Both the original game script and Civvies video.
When did he do that? Was it during a Q&A session?
@@Jorg13 yeah

Civvie referenced Ross in one of the Dusk videos, so fair trade right here.

@@LonelySpaceDetective And George Broussard.
I hope they all gang up on randy
That intro cutscene for "The Birth" was the early warning sign for what we'd see in DNF.
If Randy Pitchford doesn't have some deep seated alien pregnancy/childbirth fetish, I'm left wondering who the fuck at 3D Realms does, and how the hell that stuff made it into the Duke games.
100 bucks says it was Broussard.
@@garybusey9941 bro the amount of fetishy shit is on this hard if you wanna get deep with it, like the shrinking or freezing someone
ever see the movie alien?
@@protectordrone3375 In Duke 3D, yes. The Birth intro has a fully nude pregnant woman "giving birth." Which implies direct penetrative alien rape. Which, yes, in the Alien universe there are THEMES of rape because of what the facehugger is and does, but here there is A. Conscious direct intention behind the aliens actions, and B. It's literally rape.
Though I would have to disagree with the OP, as DNF 2001 wasn't nearly as horny. It had Slick Willy and some girls in it, but there was never any Hive level where you saw women getting directly inseminated by alien parasites. Even Duke3D only vaguely implied the nefarious intent.
For DNF they literally drew concept art of captured women in four different sex positions to show how the "Pregnators" could "mount" them. One of the various pregnator designs basically gave them the organic equivalant to a genealogical spreading tool, for fucks sake. DNF took it wayyyy too far. More specifically, it failed to pick a tone. Either you're going to do body horror and treat that shit like the genuine nightmare it is, or you're going to be a Naked Gun knock off with Benny Hill sex humor. You can't do both in the same game and have it work. That's the big issue there. Like, the hive would work in DNF 2001 or Duke 3D, because t hose games *generally* take the threat of the alien invasion seriously. Duke is on a quest to save the world, and that means something. In DNF 2011 it doesn't mean anything, so all of the creepiness of naked women being raped by aliens is on full display, and is especially jarring when you realize that the girls say some really awful things like "Daddy told me it was okay to swallow."
@@protectordrone3375the facehuggers in alien aren't even that bad compared to whatever the fuck happened in the intro.
"You can run around and detonate them" is on par with "You can just walk over it"
"If you check the news he's usually doing something greasy"
Surprised the Trailer park boys theme wasn't used
Although that instrumental version of “Out of Touch” is _very_ fitting.

Stuff like this and the Half Life 1 expansions show at one point at least Randy wasn't the greaselord he is now as he had some design chops back then, but once he became a CEO the grease took over his brain and he became the scumbag he is now. I honestly feel sorry for the Gearbox devs who are genuinely passionate about what they make, especially since I actually really do like Borderlands, because their boss alone is responsible for giving the company a bad rep.
Brothers in Arms, man
I don't think so.
Civvie even points out, a lot of the maps Randy "made" were either started by someone else, or finsihed by someone else.
Also he has since thrown Valve under the bus for "screwing Gearbox over" which is ridiculous. If not for Valve, Gearbox would never have achieved lift off.
When you mentioned not knowing about the pig tank self destruct, I thought and honestly can't remember how I found out, none of my friends had the fourth episode and I'm pretty sure i never read a walkthrough for the game,
My only guess is I saw the nuke logo on their back and assumed it can be pressed like the level exit
This video is like a grab bag of all of Civvie's best long running jokes/references.
A "grab bag".

*2:* The whole "Duke don't like Duke Burger" reminds me of how Krusty can't stand his own Krusty Burgers. "Ugh I almost swallowed some of the juice."
*3:* Lovely to see the origins of Duke's voice in this vid. Gotta love that Jon St John. There's a reason why he's got so many voice credits in games: he is indeed king. And still going strong at 59!
*4:* Yikes. I've heard of a hung jury before, but that's pretty dark.
*5:* Randy had his moments, but he's sadly not the greatest of people. Definitely got some dark triad traits to him.

*8:* I know we're supposed to be weirded out by the tiddies on the Queen, but frankly I was more taken aback by Duke sticking a pipe bomb up her foof.
*9:* Uh oh. Looks like we've got ourselves a new story arc for the Dungeon: Civvie's super-duper PC looks like it's going to turn the whole place into the Crypt of the Flesh. I guess that's what happens when you combine the hair of a god with a cursed tablet from the Ruins of Salahkantar (or however you spell it).
Krusty couldn't stand the taste of his own Krusty Burgers because Krusty products were all of terrible quality, and it's implied he knows what goes into them.

Respect for you admitting that, despite how you feel about the guy, Randy's OG Duke levels are great.
EDIT: Fun fact - the level Derelict is actually a finished version of a map from Lame Duke - aka that weird early test build of Duke 3D that 3D Realms released for free way-back-when.
There's evidence implying that Going Postal and I think one other level were cut from Episode 3 as well. Should be somewhere on The Cutting Room Floor's series of articles on DN3D.
@Mike the guy I strongly disagree on your take on Romero. He might've had his super-star ego trip post-DOOM, but these days he is one of the most down-to-earth and approachable dudes from the original FPS guard. He is almost exactly the opposite of Pitchford now-a-days. For comparison, you can strike a conversation with Romero on Twitter - Pitchford will likely either block you or spam some Shift codes.

Rule of Thumb: Anyone who uses 'II' instead of just 'jr' after their name is likely of dubious character and should be avoided at all cost. Also, I appreciate that this video is a throwback to older - spotty audio balance - civvie.
Fuzzy Dunlop junior/senior is for exact names and only one generation of difference.
Roman numerals only really applies to first names and is used to distinguish a plurality of generations.
Jr. means your father had the same name. II indicates your father and grandfather had the same name. III indicates your father, grandfather, and great-grandfather had the same name, and so on.
Ignorance should be avoided, but there you go.
@@emmetedwards7726 No "II" means that the name was used by someone in the family previously that isn't the father, such as the grandfather.
@@emmetedwards7726 II or 2nd mens your the second person in line with the name. So only your father would have it. Im the IV and my father, grandfather, and great grand father had the name before me.

I worked as a PSE at a post office in 2014. The men's room had two toilets, both in stalls rather than out in the open in Duke3D
What I always love about these videos is the educational value. Another level pack, that's cool, let's go, but Civvie isn't being a lazy ass like me, and actually does some research. I don't know about others, but I personally like hearing about some stuff that was going on behind the development (especially when I don't need to read huge amounts of text and all necessary information is already processed for my little brain).
Agreed. My favorite part in every video he uploads.

Fun fact: On Derelict there are so many enemy that on higher difficulties, the enemy counter overflows.
Oh hell yeah.
Right when I'm gonna take a dump. Gonna be a good 21 minutes
The Birth was certainly an inspired additional episode. There are times I wish it was longer and had more bosses, but it definitely did a lot for Duke 3D. I suspect the level Derelict influenced and inspired the large ship levels in Cryptic Passage, Redneck Rampage Rides Again, No One Lives Forever, and Deus Ex. The Area 51 level used to make me think that Duke Nukem could incorporate any major sci-fi film into its universe. It's interesting that you thought Area 51 was building up to a big fight in the end, Civvie, because I originally expected Duke to fight a new and different boss once I activated the nukes. The Queen level may have been frustrating, but at the least the Queen herself was a nice boss. The 3D Realms staff ending with big heads was oddly prescient of what was to come with DNF. Good going on another great Duke analysis, Civvie.
Alright Civvie, you've played enough Doom Eternal by now.
Back to cranking out videos.
Im expecting Pro-Daikatana any day now.
Wagering that might be 200k, nothing to base that on though, just a guess

Dude, so glad you brought up how the pig cop tanks have a self destruct button! I've been playing Duke Nukem 3D for almost 25 years and I just learned about that trick a month ago myself!
Currently playing through Alien World Order, and you know what. It’s really good. Some of the most detailed levels I’ve seen in Duke 3D with thrilling combat encounters where old bosses become uncommon enemies, an evil new enemy that sets you on fire, a fun new weapon which is basically a flame thrower that one shots most of the weaker monsters, and giant open sprawling environments that feel lived in. So what I’m trying to say is.......
Pro Alien World Order when Civvie?
For anyone asking...
"Pluto Nash Butt Expansion" is the one you ought to be searching for.

*Say sike right now*
I first played Duke Nukem 3D on the Playstation 1, it had an extra set of levels called "Plug and Pray" i think they're good and i enjoyed them but for years whenever i mention them it's a guaranteed troll response. Either they suck because they were too difficult (but i think that was the point), or they're Playstation 1 exclusive and so non-cannon, not worth mentioning or adding to future re-releases (Even on the Playstation 4) ...Anyway, i would love if you did a video covering these seemingly hated and lost levels
There's a fan-made port of that episode to EDuke32 out there, I saw it.
Bruh same here, Plug and Pray in my opinion was the better 4th episode. It was way more challenging and fun for me. It had a final doom feeling to it. The new enemies were cooler too oh and that disco club.
I sort of like Plug and Pray (didn't grow up with the PS1 port), but the first level is really off-putting and probably the reason so many ditch it early. I love Tomb Raider, but the map is just a slog to get through. Love the WipEout level though, about lost my mind when I first saw it.
Its always a good Civvie vid when another tally gets added to the nuke counter, and an even better one when there's a Postal reference.

I was wanting to try Borderlands 3. I liked the first two and was looking forward to the tons of different guns I could be getting and using, but Randy Pitchford is slimy and I don't like to support him. Then I heard that the developers were getting a cut of sales from the games sold. That was going to be enough to get me to actually buy Borderlands 3 even though I don't like supporting Gearbox in any way, shape or form anymore. Then this happened.
Thanks Randy. You made my decision for me.
Do you own a cell phone?
Fun story involving meeting Jon St. John: I used to work for a public broadcasting station while in college. I got media passes to attend a small video game convention where he was one of the guests of honor. A buddy and I approached him to see if we could snag a quick interview and he was cool with it. Not only did he answer questions but was cool with giving us station tag lines - short clips that would play between shows that drop the station ID. He did a few of them in the duke voice, and one where he walked out from behind a Duke cardboard cut out. We were STOKED. Now, mind you, he was visibly DRUNK AS FUCK but held it together and was still able to give us some great content for the station even while drunk. After all this, he asked us if we had any "booger sugar". We were good boys and sadly couldn't supply him, but we did have a prerolled blunt and smoked in the parking lot. He entertained us with some of his most wild convention stories. He left us, crossfaded and stumbling away leaving us with one last line in the Duke voice: "I'm gonna sleep good tonight."
Sometimes I wonder if he found any coke and kept raging the rest of the night. Sadly, the footage from that event is lost to the bowels of time. WIsh I still had it so I could share it with Civvie.
civvie you also forgot that the area 51 level was also featured in the nintendo 64 version of duke too. not sure if you knew that or not.
The Duke Burger level was also in the N64 version of Duke Nukem. As well as the Protector Drone enemies appear in random levels of the game.
Fun Fact: Since the entirety of "The Birth" was omitted from the N64 version of Duke Nukem (or maybe that version was released before Atomic Edition was, I don't remember), the Snake Plissken secret is found in the "Death Row" level, in a secret area. Speaking of Death Row, you would also find a reference to Hannibal Lecter in that level, in the area that, in the PC version, had the chapel. In the Nintendo version, however (since religious imagery was a big no-no for Nintendo), that room was replaced by a long hallway leading to both the Hannibal Lecter jail cell, as well as the recording room secret that you find in the "Pigsty" level in the PC version (another thing they had to move due to the lack of "The Birth" chapter in the N64 version)
Oddly enough, they did port over the Duke Burger and Area 51 levels. IIRC they were the only levels from The Birth that made it in.
@@LonelySpaceDetective Yep, that's true! I forgot about those.

God damnit Civvie, the council of boomers has spoken, you must do pro TNT Evilution and complete the doom official releases or be left permenantly shamed.
If you really find it that hard to talk about then change things up by installing a gameplay mod like "nobody told me about ID" or something.
H Doom TNT Evilution
He could do it PRO-ISH and use some mods
Final doomer?
Or punish himself and do BROOTAL DEWM
He hasn't done Ressurection of Evil and the lost levels for Doom 3 BFG and Doom 64. He should probably do all of them for a 1 video to get it done and out of the way, shouldn't really take that for the ones I've listed.
Something else I learned from playing episode 4 is that the teleporter death trick works with gibbing too, so if you blow up an Assault Captain while he's teleporting he'll come back and explode into guts.
rofl, the manual for the game tells you that pig tanks can be killed by hitting use on their backs.
You can kill Protector Drones with the door similar to the Sentry Drones. I don't know why, but instead of exploding, they get squished under the door just by walking towards it.
I honestly didn't expect to like episode 4 all that much since my experience with expansions made months after the fact with other games has ranged from mediocre to just plain bad, (even duke isn't free of this curse) but now having played it I think it might be my favorite out of the bunch. So many good levels.
Fun Fact: The Pigsty level is based on the police station massacre from the original Terminator, from the car crashing into the entrance to cutting out the power for the entire building.
Randy: actually makes a good level
Everyone: Impossible
Pistol starting Derelict & The Birth on Come Get Some w/ no quick saving had to be some of the most aggravating moments I've had with the game compared to the rest of the episodes, including World Tour's maps.
Say Civvie, did you ever encounter 1996's Strife?
Also David Lynch does not approve of Randy's antics
God... Between Duke Nukem, Shadow Warrior, EA Sports NCAA Football 97/98, GoldenEye 64, WCW-NWO Revenge, NBA Live and other stuff, it's a wonder I even graduated college...
Of course in Grad school I discovered Half-Life, Team Fortress and Counter-Strike which made things even worse because my PC was too old and slow to run them.
I had to go to one of the main computer labs, install Half-Life from a CD, then download CS plus a map pack just to play... This was easily an hour just to set up(!) and that was assuming the university servers weren't being bogged down by some science department's research...
And I was only able to do this on Saturday/Sunday... Fun times!
*A PRO NUKEM EPISODE UPLOADED ON MY BIRTHDAY? A SIGHT FOR SORE EYES! THANK YOU CIVVIE!* 😃
Civvie , about the map "Its impossible" .
In germany we say " Ein mal ist kein mal" which translates to "One time is no time" . Its meant that if randy did something once good then it doesnt mean everything is good.
Civvie begrudgingly admitting that Pitchford did a good job was epic.

Oh god, new subplot confirmed. Civvie's new demon PC is spreading flesh and corruption through his room.
_Looks like we need a new timeline. Again._
Area 51 is also the first episode of Duke Nukem Advance, which was my entry to the franchise. You have cells or sleeping quarters with toilets to break, 3 broken teleporters that link to each other in the same room and took all Duke's guns away according to the opening, a pair of operating tables with dead enforcers on them, a secret subway system designed for smuggling equipment in and out now full of frozen alien hybrids in cryostorage, and a hive styled area underground just past the subway where you meet the boss: a giant version of the spider crab things you meet in episode 4, only it fires rockets instead of green shit.
