The press embargo on the Duke Nukem Forever Vegas Event (dubbed “Titty City”) has just lifted and previews can finally be posted up of the game.

Yatta of Duke4.net was one of the first people to be invited to the Duke Nukem Forever preview.  I can think of no better preview to link you guys than his entire writeup of the event, as well as his preview of Duke Nukem Forever’s first six levels.

Be warned. There will be game spoilers. The preview was for the first six levels of the game. However, only the second half of the preview contains spoilers and it is properly spoiler tagged. If you are just interested in what the event was like, it’s still a great read.

There were a few great tidbits he had mentioned however.  The game was running at 720p on the Xbox 360 demo units they provided.  According to the developers, the final version of the game is looking to be fifteen hours long.  It took 90 minutes for him to complete the demo.  The game is mostly done, as it’s just in bug fixing mode right now, as Gearbox tries to fix the current 4000 bugs left in the game.

Video of the event can’t be posted until Friday, the first video will likely be televised on Spike TV’s GTTV.com show which is listed to air at 1:10am Friday and will focus on Duke Nukem Forever, and promises new, never before seen footage.  Here’s a teaser of the episode.

Duke Nukem Forever will release on May 3rd, 2011 for PC, Xbox 360, and PS3.

Maniac Gets a Friend to try Bawls February 9, 2011

In what might become a regular series on gameXcess.net, Maniac gets one of his long time buddies, the El Train, to try Bawls.  El Train has never drank the soda before, but enjoyed it very much.

We also talk a bit about the interesting design of the bottle, and just how superior it is to use glass over plastic to contain something carbonated.  We also talk about how difficult it is to recycle the bottles, and how if it was just simply kept stocked in store refrigerators, it would probably sell pretty well based on looks alone.

Perhaps at some point I might try to get more people to try the soda out, but unfortunately I’m now out and the stuff is pretty hard to come by.  If you want me to make more Bawls related videos, consider hitting up my Amazon Wish List and ordering me some.
