This is a link to the vapourware awards eg: games and other various technical items that have far surpassed their release dates... <a href='http://www.wired.com/news/technology/0,1282,61935,00.html' target='_blank'>Link</a>.

Some interesting stuff in there Duke Nukem Forever yet again gets a mention. But i never knew valve intended to make Team Fortress 2.

Just thought some people might find this interesting, please slap me if you think this is really not appropriate for the gen forums. Just thought it was funny if people get my drift... <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Oh, I remember how some magazines advertised the new, coming "Duke Nukem Forever" with screen-shots. Was it really six years ago? <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    it's off-topic if you're talking about HL2, unless you're insinuating something dealing with NS is vaporware...

    It's those redeeming oni. That's what he means. They leave behind "vapor", otherwise known as nauseous gas. Fear the redeeming oni.

    Now now... The sigs are designed to poke some sardonic fun at NS. The mods started on a trend of saying that NS3 will be done "When it's done", just like George Broussard. Hopefully, they see the humour <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->.

    I see the humor, although 'WID' is hardly limited to 3D Realms anymore - show me the <i>one</i> high profile game dev that didn't use the term within the last two years. All in all, I feel this is better suited for <span style='color:white'>O-T</span>.

    I suppose this will catch the ones who weren't paying attention the first time though.
