Forget the ultra-cool lines like "Damn, those alien bastards are gonna pay for shooting up my ride". Forget handing strippers a crumpled $20 bill to watch them jiggle for him. Forget doing unspeakable things down the neck of a defeated end-of-level boss. All strong stuff, sure, but you know what the most badass thing Duke has done is? Making us wait over a decade for his next game.

Shadow the Hedgehog - Sonic Adventure 2, Shadow The Hedgehog
