ShackStream: skankcore64 Episode 39 - Groovy!

It's time for a Sunday edition of skankcore64, my personal quest for Nintendo 64 glory by attempting to finish every North American game released for the console live on Shacknews Twitch. Join me today at 2 p.m. PT / 5 p.m. ET for another exciting episode!

Episode 39 - Groovy!

Duke Nukem 64 is the current game on skankcore64, and it's the tenth that I am trying to beat for your entertainment on the official Shacknews Twitch channel. It's an interesting port to say the least. The graphics engine is definitely not the same as the PC DOS original, the forced inverted aim will eventually drive me mad, and the gratuitous censorship doesn't do a game like Duke any favors. All that being said, it is still Duke Nukem and he will still rip your head off and s*** down your neck! Stop by the channel to relive some one-liners or enjoy the embedded stream below.

This current playthrough comes courtesy of our excellent Sandwich Correspondent, Blake Morse. How did he persuade me to play this troubled port of a first-person shooter classic? With Shack Points, of course! I have recently overhauled the cost of our interactive Shack Point rewards for our Twitch content. Just by hanging out in chat on the Twitch channel, you can accrue Shack Points that are able to be spent on all kinds of fun rewards. Tell Steve what to play next on The Stevetendo Show or pick the next flight on Shack Air with Jan Ole Peek or decide the next game I have to roll credits in for skankcore64!
