Power Duke CD-ROM: "Come, Get Some . . . " 

The reason for the names of the games censored is most likely the games being on the index back in the day for their display of violence. Germany still has some strict laws when it comes to that. That means the games are not allowed to be advertised in any form. In order to not get into trouble i guess the publishers of the CD censored the names. By the way, this is the most German thing I've seen so far on LGR...

Clint just absolutely roasting a german 9 year old kid some 20 years later. :D

the first Voice says "ei verbibbsch" that is east german accent and means something like "say what" and the second is "Gründlich zielen, dann triffst du auch" means "aim wisely, than you will hit your target" greetings from germany

one of the MIDI tunes in the RTS files was Auferstanden aus Ruinen, the anthem of East Germany.

I spend A LOT of time modding Duke3D back in the day. I replaced the lizards with Lemmings I created in 3DStudio Max. And I made several levels, including a kick ass arena map for multiplayer (which became very popular at my school). And of course the mandatory "myhouse" too. But the most elaborate thing I did went even further. I worked at a warehouse back in those days. And one day I actually asked my boss if he could give me the blueprints for the building, so I could recreate it in Duke with the exact measures. And not only did he agree to this, but he actually managed to talk the office into faxing the blueprints to our warehouse, so I could get them. Fun times! Just imagine that. A 15 year old warehouse worker, asking about blueprints for the warehouse, and actually getting them... Btw, imagine being the person who made the "myhouse7" from this video, if he or she watched this and that randomly showed up! That would be so friggin' awesome! Unfortunately I don't have any of my own Duke3D mods anymore. A real bummer to be honest, as they were really well-made. The Lemmings had all of the required animations and sound effects I made myself by pitching my voice. *sigh*, simpler times...

"If it is possible, please *come, get some* by noon tomorrow."

"Duke N*****" has, uh... unfortunate connotations.

"Try to get off before somebody calls" Teenage me relates

Clint, I’d be interested in watching you try to build a Duke 3D level in a blerb.

“Had my morning coffee and took a power duke, now let’s mess with some power duke” 🤣🤣🤣🤣

20:34 `MYHOUS7.MAP` `MYHOUSE.MAP` `MYMAP.MAP` `MYSTIFY.MAP` I read that last one very wrong.

The Doom games and Heretic (among others) were on the so called Index of games not to be sold to minors which also prohibited them from being advertised in any way. Thats why the names were crossed out on the back. I believe this is no longer the case in Germany now.

You realistically are the best around at filming computer screens.

'Why is there a skull in the bathroom?' Well where do you keep your skulls then?

Yeah, at first I was like "Oh isn't that cute. Some kids made maps of their schools." and then after a moment I was like "Oh no!".

Those RTS files are just perfect early 2000s German internet humor

I like how the reflection underneath POWER DUKE looks like it reads "bOMEB DnKE".

Grown up House7 guy presented his D3D level to his architect and now lives in a house with 300 security cameras, a bathroom skull, and firepower laying around all over the place.

I remember one of my favorite things was to download people's house maps for Duke3D. It was fun exploring the houses and getting to see what people live in through the eyes of Duke.

The censoring was due to the fact that DN3D was on an index till 2017 which meant you couldn't advertise or mention the game on or in other media in germany. You could only buy it when you were 18+.

“This is the moment on Sprockets when we dance!”

His Duke Nukem Guy's voice keeps getting better.

Come on Clint, "Took a power duke..." 🤣

come, sit down, get some...

You’ve got like months of content here, there could be some real gems from the 90s in here

Weekly map reviews are now mandatory

It's time to kick Arsch and chew Kaugummi

So the build tutorial guy, Cho Yan Wong works at Guerilla games on Horizon Zero Dawn. I always like to see if people are still active in the game field.

When a blerb is longer than a regular episode, you know it’s 2020.

GDR/DDR national anthem in the RTS: Auferstanden aus Ruinen .. Just if anybody wondered! Read another post stating that the German accent was supposed to be East German.

As a german i can tell you, thats a very funny accent, from east germany 😂🤪 We would also laugh about it! Very funny, seems it was a hobby project, professionally produced!

Those games were indexed in Germany at the time. I guess this is why they were not allowed to mention the names...

i really wanna see him playing his old levels now

21:29 My friends and I used to download a bunch of fan-made maps for Half-Life 1, one of which was a giant house where you were basically the size of a mouse, we had hours and hours of fun playing deathmatch!

That was more fun than I expected it to be. Happy New Year LGR, and all of us.

As for school maps - we made our high school as a map in.... Doom, I think? And used a modded version to remove the bad guys and items, and had a computer with our custom map at the entrance to the school on "open house" day so people could virtually walk around the school.

Pretty sure I saw a "simcity" map in there. That one would be interesting to see. Maybe.

"Maybe this was made by someone who was like nine" quality German pun there, sir. 24:08

Somewhere in germany, a dude is crying while watching this because LGR is roasting his map making skills. :P

Yes, warning of a false Virus alarm with McAfee scanners :)

"Had my morning coffee and a power Duke." 😂🤣😭

Clint manages to make all his videos so interesting...I could watch you forever! Greetings from Italy :)

You ripping through that house level helped me out of a really bad day. I *do* hope you make a series!

1:54 the kind of content I keep coming back to this channel for. Also amazing how 1mb cab completely change your game experience back then. I think this should have been a live stream. I would stick around to have Clint explore the whole CD.

"It's Time For Power Duke" -Me to my toilet every morning

Thanks a A LOT for posting that link in the description. AWESOME stuff I had mostly forgotten. Greetings from Germany "where everyone has a skull in the bathroom" ! ;-)

Please make a series going through those levels, lol.

I submitted this CD. Thank you for this cool review!

Hahaha... love the intro ! Big fan of your main channel and this Blerb channel is a new twist 😄 117k subs already ! 😬 ... Groooovy !!

Well back then with limited speed and bandwidth, I used to buy all sorts of CD and Floppy disc add-on compilations from the local computer fair that used to set up in the local sports hall. Ah those were the days!

I got huge nostalgia for these types of things because I remember going to computer fairs like 20+ years ago and these add-on packs were everywhere for all the popular pc games.

As a german Duke3D mapper I approve! :D

Thanks for archiving this disc!

Also, it's a weird sort of disconnect that I'm downloading this 650MB archive today in just a couple minutes, when, at the time this was released, I would have been on dialup with a download speed of about 5 minutes/MB at 28.8kbps...

The censorship of certain game names in germany stems from the fact that Quake, Duke 3D and many others were prohibited to advertise publically due to youth protection regulations. The „Bundesprüfstelle für jugendgefährdende Schriften“ was a pain in the ass for everyone growing up during this period of time.

I remember downloading that MP5 off dukeworld in the late 90s and being disappointed. Also: ✓ school map, ✓ house.map

Yes!! I hope you continue to make more Duke videos! :D

speaking of the ancient net. My household my dad QUICKLY decided it was worth the expense to add a second phone line in the house. also it gave him a good excuse to rip out the cheap ass phone wire in the house and swap us over to the then expensive Cat5 cable that his work had tons of extra sitting in a closet they weren't doing shit with after they upgraded the building (it was a machinist shop that made molds so it had a good sized computer network for cad work... that also doubled as a lan party setup for Doom. intentionally so as well lol) also we never did AOL. we tried a trial and immediately hated how gated it was so we did more with prodigy and MSN

Awesome! When I saw this in the opening package video, I started looking forward to see the blerb for this disc.

This is like what PCGAMER included on CDROM with their magazines in the 90's

Oh man, "DXXM" and "DXXM 2", they had to write DOOM like that because those games were still on the index back then, meaning you can't sell them to minors or advertise them in any way. I remember reading about graphics engines in a book that used the same names, and called Quake "QRSTE". Might be the same for Duke Nukem 3D, but that could also be ass-covering for the fact that they are releasing something for that game that isn't officially licensed.

I was not expecting a Duke video!

The equivalent of you building maps on this game, was me building maps on Delta Force 2 and Delta Force BHD/TS. My dad and I used to spend hours building and playing our maps with each other. That was the best time of my childhood.

When he turned the jewel case around I had a case of "Die Bart Die"

This is amazing. The sometimes-censorship (understandable, given Germany's censorship, still funny though), that amazing RTS menu, a useful Build tutorial... in English... on a CD for a German audience... wunderbar. I love that it's so well organized compared to most FTP scrape CD-ROMs, too. I'm pretty sure I saw a copy of Power Duke way back in the days of computer shows, so it's doubly cool to see the contents of this thing over 20 years later.

I'd love to see you play through some more of these crazy levels

Take us on tours of the coolest/worst maps. Could be a recurring thing if you wanted. Would be popular.

I know, dusting off a 2 year old video, but I love the memories this brings up of the old computer shows. Digging through boxes of cds and disks in a small hall oy gymnasium. Computer parts every where. I know there are still shows out there, but not near me

This is so East German, I love it. The nostalgia!

Those awesome happy hardcore samples for the sound effects straight from Germany make the Power Duke CD-ROM totally worth the buy for me.

At first I thought the reload animation, Duke slapping a new magazine into the MP5 as if it were a pistol, was totally ridiculous. But that’s the kind of confidence and enthusiasm I expect from Duke, and I kind of love it.

Clint. You still do an eerily good Duke impersonation.

I would enjoy watching videos of you making Duke3d levels.

great episode of "LXX Bluurbs" :)

Noice! Thanks for another video Clint!

I want a blerb of you binge playing each one of those RTS files please :)

Incredible channel :)

This is in an East German accent which sounds funny for us as well. Pretty cool! The names are censored because some of these games were not allowed to be sold or written articles about.

Glad you did this, I tried looking it up when you got it, but I couldn't find anything.

I don't ever recall MP5 reloads like that but the model looks cool.

Man, I love the "slow" videos like these where you just try out random retro/nostalgic stuff.

dude, you can put up whatever you want and I will watch it lol. loved the fart transition btw, had to watch it twice and to make sure and laugh my ass off for a min haha.

Ahhhh this brings back memories ...and yup, you've said it now. Time to get working through that CD for some episodes :D

Interesting dude, thanks for showing it to us.

I would totally watch a Blerbs series of you playing through old maps and mods if you ever fancied doing that :)

I love Duke Nukem 3D. I play Duke Nukem 3D Atomic Edition, Duke Nukem Forever 2013, and Duke 3D Forever. All the files for them were downloaded free off the Internet thanks to fan archives. Surprisingly, I've never heard of Duke Power.

You make me happy , thank you!

I’m going to start calling my morning ritual in the bathroom as taking a “Power Duke”

The slogan could have been worse: «Komm und nimm dir was!» 🥸😂 Die Hard would according to Flula, be «Stirb Langsam!» so you know... 🤪

Seeing so many references to myhouse is so odd given that a map for Doom II is one of 2023's most popular games...

Now we need to see your Duke levels

*"Come, Get some..."* Huh, that's a catchy phrase... :\

That Tempest guy is currently working at Guerilla Games on Horizon Forbidden West.

The morning coffee & Power Dook got me going lol. Nice one.

Shout out to the Duke Nukem 3D Level Design Handbook. That thing was my freaking bible through out high school when it came to making levels, and started my love for game and level design. (Though it was the Duke Nukem 3D Strategy Guide Book that started me down that path with the final pages of the book dedicated to Build). It eventually lead to me and a friend faithfully recreating (Within the engine's limitations) Complex from Goldeneye 007, which is on the Duke Nukem 3D: Megaton Edition workshop.

Wow, talking about building your school in Duke 3D reminded me for the first time in like 25 years of my friend making our grade school in Forgotten Realms Unlimited Adventures. I only remember a fight against a band of janitors. Good? times?

Oh man! voc files! I completely forgot about those! And cooledit! hah. That brought me back for a bit there haha

I had a good laugh at "CHEETS.TXT" for some reason.

that 303 pattern in that techno background track was mental
