Duke Nukem Forealz?

Today at PAX Duke Nukem Forever received a new breathe of life as it was announced to be released in 2011. 2K Games and Gearbox software are doing a great job proving that it’s real by having the actual game as a playable demo at PAX. This *seems* to be a reality.

site updates

Good news! I’ve been working a lot on my site features recently. Today I’ve included an update that adds 47 languages to the entire site. To select a different language, scroll to the bottom and click the appropriate flag (this will probably move to the top). Site page translation is an ongoing process so it may be slow at first. Page requests also include Google translator for instant page translation.
Oh, heads up!
I’m in the process of starting a new web hosting solution for my friends, family, and colleagues. The service is dedicated to providing quick customer support response times and easy to use web hosting tools (this alleviates headaches of most hosting providers). Starting out, I will be the sole person managing the servers, applications, and support. Your questions, comments and concerns will go straight to me. The best part about this service is that I can now offer you any web related service (ruby on rails, postgresql, ad serving, social network integration, endless etc.). If you would like some solid, secure, and highly customizable hosting on my managed dedicated servers then please contact me at fantomstranger.net. Keep an eye out here for web hosting discounts by subscribing to the fantom-stranger.com facebook fanpage.

I tinkered a bit with my facebook integration and you can login again with facebook and post comments. You won’t be forced to use your facebook account though.
I also added some publishing features to manually post to facebook while my posting service fixes it’s issues.
