Duke Nukem Forever is just having a laugh at our expense. Players over the age of 14 (which, statistically speaking, exist) are surely shaking their heads and tut-tutting at the ceaseless barrage of gratuitous swears and strained dildo humor on offer in this latest trailer, in which ol' red-shirt shrinks to the size of a potato and issues trademark “badass” quips in a helium squeak. But that's just what Gearbox wants you to think: all the better to surprise you with the clever gameplay twists the series is known for.
