Why Duke Nukem is Like The Beatles

There's a Randy Pitchford interview on Games On Net talking with the Gearbox boss about Duke Nukem Forever, their upcoming first-person shooter sequel. Along the way Randy explains how Duke is like gaming's Chuck Norris before going on to likening him to The Beatles: "I don’t know why, I don’t know why. I was thinking about this a lot, and I remember when I discovered The Beatles. I wasn’t born when they were big, I didn’t even exist when The Beatles were at their peak. Yet, I remembered when I discovered them, and I thought, 'It’s good. It’s good music.' I felt special that I’d discovered them, and I felt like I was cooler than some of my other friends that didn’t discover them as quickly as I did, because I knew that magic was there. I think there’s a lot of newer gamers that are kind of feeling that about Duke. They’re looking at that. I think that’s kind of helped him become a meme, and an icon. It certainly hasn’t been all the great games that have come out – because there hasn’t been any games! So there’s something else that’s special about this character, that has done it."
