Duke to Break Free of Pixels and Polygons
Apogee Software and Deep Silver are on the lookout for the next Duke.
Published: March 27, 2009
What would you do if the world was overrun by needlessly violent aliens and you were tasked with bringing them to justice? Would you A: Curl up against a wall like grade school taught you to do during disasters; B: Beg your new overlords for forgiveness in a foolish attempt at survival; or C: Try to go out in a blaze of glory only to realize you only own Nerf guns? If you answered D: Spew lame one-liners while stomping around with enough firepower to make Charles Heston jealous, then boy do we have the contest for you.
Deep Sliver, Inc. and Apogee Software, the forces behind the forthcoming Duke Nukem Trilogy, are looking for the next face of Duke Nukem. Starting in April, they'll be making stops in New York, Los Angeles and Dallas looking for that special someone who personifies the Duke. According to their promotional Web site dukeisback.com, they're looking for that special someone who never refills the office coffee pot after pouring the last cup and who trolls dance studios for hot-to-trot housewives. In their words:
"Super confident and overly aggressive by nature, aliens fear him, and women fawn on him. Duke Nukem is the ultimate bad ass! When the Earth Defense Force faces its toughest challenges, they only call on one man to get the job done right the first time! When all else fails, Duke doesn't!"
Though not explicitly stated, it can be assumed that qualified applicants will be able to kick ass without the need for bubblegum and should be well versed in the removal of alien stripper bras through the use of a spacebar. And because they love groups of three so much, three lucky contestants will be selected to compete for the title at E3.
Those interested should visit dukeisback.com for information on how to audition.
Slated for release in September of 2009, this PSP and DS title will be comprised of three episodes, entitled Critical Mass, Chain Reaction and Proving Grounds, respectively.
