Same here. It's a shame though; I played Duke Nukem 3D soooooo much.

Remember his old cheesy line: "It's time to kick *** and chew bubblegum, and I'm all out of gum."?
Interestingly enough that Duke quote was taken from the move "They Live" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/They_Live

From Wiki:
The memorable and oft-quoted line, "I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ***, and I'm all out of bubblegum," was ad-libbed by Piper. The line is nearly repeated in the David Mamet film Spartan when a drill sergeant berates his trainees, "All I have for you is a stiff dick and bubblegum, and I'm all out of bubblegum." The line is also repeated in the popular FPS game Duke Nukem 3D where Duke says "it's time to kick *** and chew bubblegum, and I'm all out of gum."

Also, the famous South Park cripple fight was taken from this movie:

They Live contains a famous alleyway brawl between Piper and Keith David that lasts over six minutes onscreen and features wrestling suplexes. Originally, the fight was supposed to last only 20 seconds, but the actors reportedly wanted to duke it out. John Carpenter was so impressed that he kept the full cut scene in the movie, perhaps partly as an homage to John Wayne's famous fight in The Quiet Man. In 2001, the creators of South Park parodied/paid homage to the scene in the episode "Cripple Fight," which contains an alley brawl between two handicapped children that copies much of the dialogue and fight choreography of the scene in They Live, right down to Jimmy screaming "You dirty mother-****er!"
