Duke Nukem Forever, a video game that was announced as being in development in 1997, has taken more than 10 years to develop and it’s still not done yet!  This list includes events that have happened since it started.  Highlights include:

• Steve Jobs was still running NeXT when Duke Nukem Forever was announced.
• In April of 1997, Google, eBay, and the term “weblog” didn’t exist.
• Adjusted for inflation, the average price of gas in the United States has doubled.
• 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.

Also included in the list are things that took less time than Duke Nukem Forever’s development:

• The Wright brothers designed and flew the first airplane.
• The United States’ entire program to put a man on the moon, from Kennedy’s challenge to the landing.

<sarcasm>If this game is ever released, it’s going to be freaking amazing!</sarcasm>
