Pro Nukem 3D: The Rise of Sunstorm 

Missed Opportunity: Should’ve called the episode “House of the Rising Sunstorm”

Civvie: Gripes about putting sunglasses on sunglasses. Also Civvie: shows Duke killing a shark with a water pistol underwater without comment.

Are we going to ignore the fact that sentry drones are so damn evil that they didn't even give them a hula skirt and sunglasses?

Remember how Randy Pitchford swore up and down that Gearbox was gonna make a new Duke Nukem thing? Then they went dead quiet for months, and the most we got was a terrible cameo in Bulletstorm? A shooter nobody remembers? Randy is so greasy that John St. John slid all the way to Running With Scissors to get *some* kind of work.

"Randy Pitchford, the pinnacle of killing popular franchises and then making inferior versions of past releases." Also, where is the stolen hydrogen bomb civvie?

When I was a kid, I didnt understand why the old lady laughed at Congress getting blown up. I get it now... lord do I understand now.

18:23 and thats were he meets those twins (from duke nukem forever) and spents 14 years there...

"It was like a fun pretend war-crime" is the description I have always wanted to hear.

“It’s time to kick ass and run for president, and I’m all outta president” - Duke Nukem, President of the United States, 1996

Welcome to part 4 of our ongoing series: Humiliating the Cycloid Emperor

16:15 "This is followed by the longest elevator ride in the history of gaming" Civvie has blocked out his experience playing Blood 2.

Can we all take a moment to appreciate just how hard the duke theme tune still slaps all these years later

I still hear the Doom Imp wake up sound whenever I hear one of those Sentry Drones start up.

Yes, they do still make Super Soakers. These days it's actually combined with the Nerf brand, believe it or not. Fun fact: The bikini babe NPCs are actually Enforcers with their... everything replaced. Which explains why actual Enforcers are nowhere to be found in the expansion. I found out by accident when applying a fanmade graphics improvement mod, which caused them all to revert to Enforcers.

Life's A Beach is possibly my favorite part of Duke Nukem 3D, the levels are incredibly well made, everything has a great and cheerful tropical vacation reskin, and the music is top notch. Boy, I tell you, it's almost as good as an actual vacation.

Manhattan Project has my absolute favorite rendition of the Duke theme.

7:11 this is a really well crafted joke

14:25 *You can't hide forever from NAM, Civvie*

2:22 It’s so beautiful knowing how poorly that aged. There was no way, not even a snowballs chance in Hell of knowing how that within the span of almost two years (ALMOST TWO YEARS) that things would go so far south, that it would age something so terribly that it could be seen as hilarious in the darkest way possible. Really what were the odds that fortune would flip someone off that badly? This man deserves a reward on how shit luck could be for someone. No one and I mean no one could have known that something like that might bite them on the ass eighteen months later.

The phrase "Duke takes Manhattan" makes me wanna see Duke Nukem fight zombie Jason Vorhees in Time Square

I guess Civvie's Cinematic Universe takes place 2 years after our own timeline, because he was going through 2020 in 2018.

"Longest elevator ride in gaming" Mass Effect says hi.

I had Duke 3D on PS1 when I was 8, and when I was 9 on that faithful Christmas morning, I got my first ever PC with Duke Number 3D with these 2 expansions, good fucking times!

"Its time for Duke to go on vacation for...14 years?!" I feel ya man. Many Berserk fans can relate to such a long hiatus. ...And it also involved a damn boat.

So THAT'S who made all those hunting games! You think you know a company, huh?

Last time I was this early Duke had time to play with himself

These were fun expansions, but Duke it Out in DC really gets good if you have the Alien Armageddon mod. It adds a bunch of government personnel and soldiers fighting back against the pigcops, and adds the pigcop tanks.

Life's a beach ranks among the greatest expansion packs of all time. Gather the original Sunstorm devs. They need to make an expansion for Ion Maiden!

So when I loaded Borderlands 2 up for the first time in a while, a game that holds a lot of memories in my heart and is special they wanted me to make a Shift name, mine wouldn't cut it apparently; so what did I change it to? GreasyRandyP. Thanks Randy.

Between the plague joke of 2018 and the storm the capital premise of this expansion, this series isn't painting a bright picture of the future

I'm playing these episodes with Alien Armageddon now and omg I love this mod so much. These expansions are so good. Especially life's a beach. Although I miss the fun alternate weapons. The mod does an amazing job putting more variety in enemies in the levels as well, especially D.C. If you're looking to play or replay the expansions, definitely play with AA. You won't regret it. New textures, new secrets, new easter eggs, new enemies, new weapons, new one-liners, even a bot to help you that you can switch to. This mod is the best and biggest I've seen in a long time. And they even made their own episodes. And a "war of attrition mode" which I haven't played yet, but I bet it's fun. I definitely recommend playing it if you haven't yet

Thankfully in Alien Armageddon, Smithsonian Terror no longer sucks: besides changing the level layout a bit so it isn’t as obtuse to find the keys or open doors as well as making the living ocean’s switches bigger, they replaced all the texture “art” paintings with actual images which are usually memes, like that Jackie Chan one which makes reference to Shadow Warrior, Bob Ross painting Duke 3D’s box art and even Bomb Solider Battlefield from Mario 64, which you can go inside to find Mario, a warp pipe, a question mark block and a serious Sam bomb that actually blows up if you shoot it. Another Serious Sam reference is found in The Ancient Worlds’ Egypt diorama and the Living Ocean has SpongeBob and Patrick in one tank, and Spongebob’s house in another. There’s even a sealed off Duke wing accessed through a vent that’s full of pictures of Duke and Bombshell, as well as callbacks to all pre-Forever Duke games. It’s like the DNF 2001 version of the Duke Museum.

Pro Nukem 3D: Penthouse Paradise when Civvie? FR tho talk about the Duke Nukem console games

"What is the time, CV-11?"

I'm too young to have enjoyed these boomer shooters when they came out, but I can still appreciate their worth in the context of their creation. I have to say, I am impressed by the length Sunsoft went to with the Caribbean expansion pack. All those little touches, the music using those exotic instruments, the reworked sprites, the inventivity with the weapon adaptation; that they went so far really shows they cared.

8:30 OMFG the fact that you know of that old movie makes me admire you more, sir. Thank you.

Theres only two ways this can end Civvie. And in both of them, you review Manhattan project. I look forward to it Edit: also now I'm sad thinking about the megaton edition and pandy richford, thankfully I still have it on steam

Thankfully I got the Megaton Edition before it was removed from Steam. There's something about the mouse aiming in World Tour that is just... wrong.

14:24 "It was like a fun pretend warcrime!" I will now steal this quote

that custom underwater refractive light texture at 16:11 is some real good work

2:40 when Civvie realizes he was the cancer mouse all along.

I'm so glad he finally referenced that Christmas episode. I watched that like right before the pandemic hit the US and I was severely weirded out ':D

12:00 Their coconut guns Can fire in spurts. If they shoot ya It’s gonna hurt! Huh!!!

I love tropical inspired games... I wish there was more like Duke Caribbean, I have played that a ton! loved dead island because of it too

I had one of those backpack supersoakers as a kid. Couldn't lift the backpack when it was full, had to use a wagon.

Dammit civvie. Who's going to do this dissertation now that my eyes are busy watching this sexy video on repeat for several hours?

2:42 - "There are shockingly few Christmas games." LGR Christmas Clint: "CWISMASSS"

Civvie ripping Randy Bobandy a new one is food for my soul.

I can’t believe they couldn’t be bothered to redraw the pig cops with suits on to make them look like FBI agents/ secret service agents

“Everything falls apart when you introduce a Randy into the equation” ~New American Proverbs

I'll never miss those sounds... the explosions and gun fire. almost like flash backs. Wish I was a kid again and this was all brand new

Never owned Life's a Beach, but loved Duke It Out in DC. The Alien Armageddon mod includes really nice retools of both expansions.

I don’t quite remember how I found this channel but I’ve loved every second of each video I’ve watched- and this video is no different.

"They blew up congress!" this aged too well.

2:51 Missed opportunity to say Dukelear winter

Civvie: "You know what time it is." Me: Sewer time? Video: Ding! Sewer count 147 Me: Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Love this channel and the content, you got good voice and cadence/timing. Good editing! Dont stop making videos civvie you are really good at it.

Man this episode kind of hits harder in 2021...man why couldn't it have been aliens?

"It's time to wear jorts and chew bubblegum, and I'm all outta gum." ~Jort Nukem

I wish these expansion packs were included in the 20th anniversary edition. Thanks randy!!!!!!

Ah yes the classic Randy -Pitchford- Pitchfork always ruins everything 12:40 Shooting a shark with water pistol underwater? This should be illegal, it's like drowning for Spongebob characters

I’m kinda depressed now seeing as my first experience with Duke was through the Pitchford monstrosity that lacked one of these two beautiful episodes.

"When you introduce 'a Randy' into the equation" LOL

Civvie, you've got to cover the Alien Armageddon mod at some point. Its a massive overhaul of Duke3D that doesn't break the fundemental feel, tweaks to every level that needs it (Huge changes to Smithsonian Terror that make it much better) and a new episode that dropped a few months ago. You'll love it man, seriously. Right up there with AMC TC.

Yeah! More duke and Civvie Thanks for being a constant source of entertainment

Man, this is a fuckin' trip to watch now. Violence in DC looks so bright and fun here.

Thanks Civvie. You always brighten my day.

December 2018: Civvie has jokes about a global plague and a destroyed economy OH HELLO 2020 WHEN DID YOU GET HERE TWO YEARS EARLY EDIT: wait a minute, did you bring that shit here from the alternate timeline, Civvie?

2:23 Damn man, are you a prophet? Are you... THE ONE??

"Help me Duke!" "Looks like you're... fucked!" Jesus Duke...

Thanks for the new video man! You manage to make being quarantined suck a little bit less.

I used to own Deer Hunter. Played it on my moms laptop all the time back when CD players were still a plug in peripheral. Also duke Manhattan Project is one of my favorite duke games. I sunk HOURS into it.

17:43 A sunocle, obviously.

The last of the OG DN3D era... It's been one hell of a ride, thanks again Civvie.

I honestly loved the real-life-ish locations of Duke DC. Never been to them in real life, but they felt like real places and that's cool.

Been using your videos to fall asleep to these last two months. I don't know why, but I like it. More, please. They're good, I think.

16:16 "This is followed by the longest elevator ride in the history of gaming." Apparently Civvie's played every first person shooter on the planet except Halo.

Civvie: "You know what time it is." Me: HERO TIME? Video: Sewer count Me: Goddammit.

I love how the water pistol works under water. Very nice

One thing that civvie didnt observe, or didnt notice is that the bouncy cops on Caribbean are actually a replacement for the sentry drones.

I remember beating Manhattan Project, great game. Can't wait to see your review!

6:39 this did not age well

I chuckle every time Civvie makes a Sentry Drone blow itself up.

Your voice sounds like outer realms ,really soothing man thanks for the awesome content.👌💯

“A fun pretend war crime.” God I’m so glad I subbed.

Fun Fact: "Top Secret" uses parts of the usermap "Aztec" with permission from the original creator. Duke it Out in D.C did have decent level design but yeah there's no denying how frustrating some of the design choices are. What could've also helped is a bigger variety of encounters. Recently Duke It Out in D.C did receive a revisit with the "Alien Armageddon" mod. That certainly spiced up the encounters. Though it was absolute madness trying to deal with Cyber Enforcers at times. I hated fighting two of them when going back into the past.

Civvie is one of the few youtubers who I always cycle through their older uploads while still looking forward to new ones

Civvie uploads bring me such joy

Finally some new Duke of Nukem content. Hail to the Civvie, baby!

11:47 "You have more than one coconut flavored weapon replacement" Apparently Civvie forgot what pineapples are, from being in the dungeon so long. No yard time because of quarantine.

Love the vids civvie my man. Keep them rolling!!!!!

So when Matt Hazard did that joke about shooting each other with lethal super soakers he wasn't even doing something Duke hadn't done...

I was just literally trying to download Duke nukem world tour. Then this came up to pass the time .... talk about good timing.

The Washington DC level hasn't aged well.

Awesome vid, Civvie. Can't wait for the next, my dude.

Every video gets better and better! Keep up the good work man.

Duke stormed the capital, that one didn’t age quite so well

6:59 I died laughing at that Mars Attacks clip

Funny thing is I was thinking about Manhattan Project and here it is being teased! Thanks Civvie and can't wait for the next Pro Nukem

It's always a good day when a new Civvie video drops!
