Talk:George Broussard

message: Gaming's oldest preorder may go unfulfilled
Patience might not always be a virtue.
Will this gamer ever be collecting the pre-order he placed in 2001?
Answer: probably not. His $10 deposit was placed on Duke Nukem Forever, a first-person shooter that, after being in continuous development for an unprecedented 12 years, was suddenly canceled yesterday.
Duke Nukem, a once-iconic blond-haired all-American action hero, with a fondness for catchphrases like "It's time to kick *** and chew bubblegum, and I'm all out of gum," was the star of a hit string of games in the 1990s. His creators, 3D Realms, used him to help pioneer the first-person shooter genre, paving the way for modern hits like Halo and Call of Duty.
Ten years ago, Duke Nukem Forever was expected to become just as big a hit as those did. But constant delays -- the game's release date was originally intended to be in 1998 -- caused it to become something of a running joke, topping Wired magazine's annual Vaporware Awards list for seven years out of eight.
Almost unbelievably, the 3D Realms team apparently continued constant work on the game, releasing occasional teaser-style screenshots and trailers, until the company abruptly ran out of money and folded yesterday with what we imagine to be the loss of numerous jobs.
As Guardian games writer Steve Boxer told the BBC, "It would have been nice to see another Duke Nukem game, but given they had more than 12 years it's just incompetence of the highest order...Sadly, Duke Nukem Forever was the most aptly named title in the history of games. Now, it's just Duke Nukem Never."
Duke Nukem Forever's publishing rights remain with Take-Two, but it's not yet clear if the publisher will allocate it to a new team. Given that it's already been 12 years, they could be forgiven for wanting to forget the whole sorry saga. We wish "Slash000" the best of luck in getting a refund.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bertramrosenberg (talk • contribs) 05:49, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

(and moved its ref http://www.pbs.org/newshour/rundown/2009/12/what-is-the-rundown.html). This expresses poorly the situation, which is that on November 23 PBS announced his hiring, on Dec 3 they published his first blog on their behalf and released a 1-minute video of him (with the show's new set in the background), and on Dec. 7, his first on-the-air appearance for them coincided with breaking in the show's 5th title. If it were known that there was a strategic reason for the Dec. 7 events coinciding (BTW, it's also Pearl Harbor Day, it could be interesting. I'm not sure whether it was worded that way bcz of some kind of loss of focus by an editor ("There's more info with the exact date than without!"?), or to loosely suggest a inference that the coincid-ence was evidence of the value placed on his role (which could improve the article, if accompanied by what gave his role that value, and reliable verification of that value.

Does this mean that Ozzy Osbourne has an album called Sheena McDonald? I checked Ozzy's discography and no, he doesn't seem to have an album with that title. Then what does that mean? It definitely should be explained in the article.

Talk:The Story of the Trapp Family Singers

message: "Maria never intended to write anything of her life, but a friend persistently pleaded with her not to allow her story to be forgotten by others. She denied she had any writing skill whatsoever, but her friend was not to be put off and kept on asking her whenever they saw each other. Finally, one day, in desperation, Maria excused herself and went to her room for an hour to scribble a few pages about her life story, hoping to prove once and for all she was no writer. However, this displayed such natural writing talent that she reluctantly agreed to finish what she had started, and her jottings formed the basis of the first chapter of her memoirs."
