* Ok, i can accept that puny bullets don't harm the mighty dukes' health, but why does he gain ego while hiding for cover like a coward? Wouldn't it be more appropriate that he gains ego immediatly after slaying those chick stealing pig aliens like a boss? Diablo II did this by introducing life leech, so why not in an [[IncrediblyLamePun ego shooter]]?

** He was 45 in 2012. But when you exercise and stay fit like Duke, you'll look younger a lot longer. Chuck Norris is in his 70's and doesn't look it. You could argue the smoking and drinking and bad eating would take its toll, well the exercise should take care of the extra calories, not sure about the drinking, and considering how short his sprint lasts before he is wheezing, his lungs are terrible.

** Duke gains permanent increases to his ego by doing [[RatedMForManly manly things]] like beating bosses, winning arcade games, lifting weights, admiring himself in the mirror and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking urinating in a toilet]]. Besides, regenerating health actually made this troper more reckless, as he didn't need to worry about conserving health for later. Just outlast every alien bastard that dares attack Duke.

** Which doesn't make him not a badass (he destroys the entire alien army on his own, twice)or a hero (he saves the earth and humanity repeatedly), it just means he couldn't save everyone. There's just nothing that could be done, once they women were impregnated by the aliens there was nothing he could do.

** No, I realize the babe's hand is on his hip. But look at Duke's actual left arm. What could be called his shoulder is hanging a good few inches from the socket. Look at you left arm, then look at his. Don't you notice anything odd about Duke's?

* Duke is described as a badass and a hero, and yet he fails the one thing that actually matters - he fails to rescue a single woman that was taken by the aliens. He fails to save the Holsom twins, or any of the women in the hive.

** Personally I think that it makes perfect sense - almost to the point of FridgeBrilliance. He is THE DUKE. In his eyes he is omnipotent. A god amongst men. And the moment that someone or something shows him just how wrong he is? It hurts him far deeper than any bullet can. But like the example mentioned above, his ego is ''so large'' despite this that the mere act of flexing his biceps behind a rock is enough to put him back into fighting shape.

** I'd imagine it was a side effect of the long development cycle and various attempts of bringing Duke up-to-date with then-current gaming trends that got out of date fairly often.

** Actually, humans get electrocuted and die because human bodies ''don't'' conduct electricity well. The damage done to a human body is because there's a lot of resistance as the electricity goes through.
