I was there watching bodybuilder, Günter Schlierkamp, in action for the first time. This took place at the first Gamescom in Germany in 2009. He decided on his own to do his posing routine. Günter def had the look of Duke.
HL2 had seagulls shitting on the buggy in 2004. spawn seagull, drop bird shit decals under the seagull at random intervals, wow much dev time. I bet it does take up 500mb of ram to do that in 2026 though
