I loved playing Duke Nukem 3d, but I'd be the first to say Scott Miller is an idiot. This is the guy who ranted about how games don't have enough play time in them, publically bashed Eleet Force in his .plan file for it, then published Max Payne. I also remember when he was ragging on serious sam for being exactly what it set out to be; a fast paced arcadey like shooter. The game was never supposed to have a big plot. They never set out to make an 'interactive movie'. He said he didn't like the game because he felt it was a step back. Gee, I guess concepts like gameplay and fun are a 'step back' to him. He's probably jealous because Croteam actually released a fun game whereas he has spent the last 6 months learning to do lap dances so he can put them in duke nukem forever.
