Haha, this is awesome. This person is very patient, and to be honest, that's what he gets for reserving a Duke Nukem game. There has only been one good Duke Nukem game, in my opinion. The guy deposited $10 on a preorder for this game back in 2001. It's now 2009, the game has just been canceled, and now people are wondering if this guy will be able to get a refund of his $10.

Will this gamer ever be collecting the pre-order he placed in 2001?

Answer: probably not. His $10 deposit was placed on Duke Nukem Forever, a first-person shooter that, after being in continuous development for an unprecedented 12 years, was suddenly canceled yesterday.

Duke Nukem, a once-iconic blond-haired all-American action hero, with a fondness for catchphrases like "It's time to kick *** and chew bubblegum, and I'm all out of gum," was the star of a hit string of games in the 1990s. His creators, 3D Realms, used him to help pioneer the first-person shooter genre, paving the way for modern hits like Halo and Call of Duty.
