Chuck Jones went on to work for Valve, and you can tell Duke Nukem influenced his concept art for the first Half-Life:

Concept art for an "Alien Organic Chainsaw" featuring a cartoony alien resembling the "Alien Grunt" enemy from the game Half-Life.

If you see this, quote this post with a title screen that's iconic to you

Thief Deadly Shadows my beloved. It's levels are tiny compared to its predecessors, it's hub is jank, it's movement is unforgivably broken, but it's atmosphere and level design are still fantastic. To be fair, it was my first experience with the series, so I'm definitely biased.

Got to knock an item off my bucket list and see Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds stage show live this week. I've loved the album since I was a kid, seeing it performed live was absolutely incredible. #JeffWayne #WarOfTheWorlds #wotw

A picture from a live performance of Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds stage show. A 25 foot-tall "fighting machine" prop towers over the musicians and shoots a jet of pyrotechnic flame over the audience.
