I Have a Bad Feeling My Computer's Background Is Never Going to Change

This is my work computer and the background is never going to change:



Allow me to explain: Over a year ago, when the first news about Duke Nukem Forever in about two years came out in the form of a teaser trailer and a few screens, I changed my desktop background to commemorate the occasion. At that time, I also said I wasn't going to change my computers background until Duke Nukem Forever was released. You see, at the time, I was pretty sure it was only a year away. I thought, definitely holiday season 2008 would see the release of a new Duke Nukem game. I was wrong. A year passed, and no new news about the Duke.


So, as it stands, I am never going to get to play a new game featuring this iconic video game character. And I'm never going to change my computer's background.


And now, before anyone asks questions, allow me to explain some of the other objects on my desk:




  1. An ElePHPant: the official mascot of PHP, the scripting language that powers GameSpot.

  2. Red Bull: The energy drink that powers me.

  3. Three mice, because one is never enough.

  4. 42 cents in pennies

  5. A souvenir cup from AT&T Park: Home of the San Francisco Giants

  6. A Crazy Crab bobblehead

    Dude its your life, but, excess red bull leads to cyrossis and other liver failures. And besides that RB is a temporary solution coz 15 min. after you drank it u feel drained of energy & u gotta drink another one.

    Theres absolutely nothing wrong with having a tag-team Nukem staring at you.

    void problem is void problem.

    Wow, that's a lot of Red Bull.

    I like the PHP ElePHPant.

    If that was my setup the wouldn't be redbull, it would more like my favorite beer. And I loved Duke Nukem.
