Game developer Take Two is shuttering, taking with it the perpetual development of Duke Nukem Forever, a mere 12 years after it was first announced. You might be surprised what's happened in the interim:

-- The two Mars rovers, Spirit and Opportunity were proposed, authorized, announced, designed, launched and successfully landed upon Mars where they have been exploring the surface for over 2.5 years.

-- The entire Harry Potter series as well as five movies.

-- In April of 1997, Google, eBay, and the term "weblog" didn't exist.

Many, many more at the site, though we pedants will take exception to the assertion of "Every Marvel comics movie released," as I can remember at least three pre-1999 (and one that escapes on a technicality).

Oh, I'm the Nevada Salt Flats of getting maudlin. Chipper to Morrissey in 2.3 seconds. In '97 I broke my brain. Wasn't the first time. Probably ain't the last.

And bonus Amiga points! Still have one in the basement. Tried to give one away and accidentally gave away my Master's degree. Got it back, though, because I've needed it for.... *shrug*
