Why are you guys not afraid of them. Why.

Who says I'm not?

Brother on mind?

What I need is not a way to get rid of the Slimers, but rather a way to NOT BE SCARED of Slimers when they crawl up on my screen and stay there until they bite me to death. I want to love Duke, but damn Slimers ruined that ;__;

I hate Protozoid Slimers ever !!!

The original version of Duke Nukem 3D had 3rd person view option. When pressing F7, the camera changed behind Duke. In this "view mode" those protozoid slimers won't fill up the whole screen when they latch to the face, only 3rd person Duke's head, and by that way you can avoid getting scared when they latch to the face. But unfortunately this 3rd person mode has been removed from this steam-version

Push the F7 Key.

I'm really afraid of them. It's easy to kill them, it's only one hit, but the moment they jump on your face, that's REALLY terrifying.

Not just that. All that alien atmospher it causes, you know you dont know anything about it, you can't explain, how that slime turned into organic, and have jagged teeth (From analyzing sprites you can see it's only ONE BIG TEETH (BLADE) that circling its mouth), and that thing trying to eat your face (or bite your head off) when it's just consuming the otners organic enemies (bodies, etc). Notice, that otner aliens never scare you so much. You can explaine nature of an Assault Commander (Tiger-mutated civilians), you can explain nature of Pig Cops (Mutated LAPD officers), Assault Enforcer (Cow with chaingun), hell, you can explain even the Octabrain (jellyfis-like alien race, but it's have limbs, it have normal mouth with normal teeth, multiple eyes and tentacles). But you CAN'T explain why that pile of radiactive slime LIVES. It have no eyes, limbs, but still IT GOT A MOUTH TO EAT YOUR FACE (And simple nervous sistem) So if people ask you to compare Protozoid Slimer to anything exist, you just say "I'ts a pile of a plutonium waste that crawls and have MOUTH TO EAT YOUR FACE and consume enemies". That's because they freak me out, not just because of they creepiness.
3D Realms (or Apogee Software) were doped up when they were doing that thing.
I done here.

Lol, when a protozoid slimer eats a monster :P

[PikaCommando]

I can't see anything lol about that, the slime sprite grows huge when its consuming a monster. Scared me quite some time.

Trololosh I'm pretty sure they were alien experiments in Duke Nukem 2.

Yeah, i seen that, but they was in glass containers, not growing in eggs. That protozoid slimer some kind of creepy spin-off of original DN2's Green Slime.

[PikaCommando]

I know lameduke is not canon, but the slime from lameduke is the same thing in DN2 (more or less). Then again, 3DR LOVES to retcon stuff so eh, let's just let this topic die.

On a side note, DN2's slime had mouth while lameduke's slime only had teeth. In fact, DN3D's slime is more similar to DN2's slime.

the slimers can actually be identified. they eat every other enemy except for octobrains. also, octobrains are often seen guarding protozoid slimer eggs. most of the duke fans refer to the slimers as infant octobrains. i can agree with that. the protozoid slimer and the octobrain both attack with their teeth if you get too close and they both have tentacles. the slimers are also supposed to be those toxic slimes from Duke Nukem II.

Slimers are not infant Octabrains. It just so happens that they are often placed together because the Slimers only eat grounded enemies (Assault Troopers/Captains/Enforcers, Protector Drones) and aerial enemies (Assault Commanders, Sentry Drones, Octabrains) are completely unaffected by it. Octabrains are chosen over the other 2 is because the other 2 uses explosive attacks, which pretty much ruins the Slimer nests. Slimers are nothing more than the enemy from DN2 retooled as an Alien parody. Octabrains are a different race from the Assault race and in DNF Pregnators and Baby Octabrains are the Octabrains's infant forms.

and what's funny about the baby OctaBrains, is that you can step on them. but if they're hit with the Shrinker, they jump up and instantly commit suicide (according to Duke Nukem Wikia)
