Still trying to master DC Universe Online while playing on a 24 inch standard-definition television ... I need to make some money so I can afford to get the big screen TV repaired. Because I can't read half of the text on the screen, and chat (which a MMORPG pretty much depends on) is impossible to use. But I've built a character up to level 16 all on solo missions by playing an hour here and an hour there, so it's not too bad. I really like the game.

Also, I've advanced in Duke Nukem Forever to the point where I have free roam of a strip club. I'm trying to make sure I explore everyone ... er, I mean everything ... before I move on to the next level. I actually think I just lack the 5 digit door code, which would let me into the locked office for an additional ego boost.

The guy playing the game to make this video of the Mission 8: Titty City level has no clue how to play this thing.

Yeah, the reviews are right. The graphics are a few years behind the times, the game controls are awkward and overall it looks more like a 2001 video game than a 2011 video game. The game was delayed for something like 13-14 years, so it's a wonder it ever came out. And it really isn't sexy, but then I've never seen anything composed of polygons that was.

And yet, the attitude and Duke's over-the-top dialog still amuse me.
