So What Should Be Done About these “Women” Then?

See, there are these things called “women.” You are probably familiar with them as a concept. Maybe you’re friends with one, or even married to a member of the apparent “fairer” sex. I’m not here to judge.

The thing is women like to play video games. This was once considered a myth derided as heresy by the video game playing shamans, but these days there are more women interested in games than ever before.

The ESA has found that as much as 40 percent of the current video game audience is female. Some women might even like Facebook games more than sex! Keep in mind that last study was carried out by Doritos, who are not fully licensed sexologist examiners.

Yahtzee almost wrote Duke Nukem Forever

Apparently at some point Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw, the Australian maniac behind the excellent Zero Punctuation reviews, was approached to write a script for Duke Nukem Forever when it was still with 3D Realms.

He had the idea of the game taking the piss a bit more, where Duke is essentially a more obvious 90's action hero parody with some much needed irony. Sadly 3D Realms wasn't too keen on this idea and turned him into the misogynistic idiot the game desperately tries to pass off as genuine.

All we can do now is imagine how amazing a Yahtzee penned Duke Nukem game could have been. And hope someone finds the audition script.
