Wil Wheaton summed up the reactions of gamers everywhere today when 2K Games revealed at the Penny Arcade Expo in Seattle that a playable version of the epically delayed game “Duke Nukem Forever” would be playable for the show.
Others in Twitter-Wood were more concerned with movies, which is appropriate since that’s where they make their money. Kristen Bell has been prodding at her followers to tell Warner Bros. they want to see a “Veronica Mars” movie, Ashton Kutcher checked out the “Family Guy” take on “Return of the Jedi,” and Rainn Wilson discussed a remake of “The Rocker.” Check out what he’d like to do with that down below and see who’s going to a midnight screening of “Machete.”
Find out what they jumped on after the break. I’m @brianwarmoth, and this is Twitter-Wood for September 3, 2010.
@wilw And Duke Nukem Forever was released … and the rivers turned to blood and the sky became like fire, as The Horsemen began to ride. #PAX

Don’t forget to follow @MTVMoviesBlog on Twitter for all the latest updates and colorful commentary from the world of movies.
Apple’s new Ping service for iTunes prompted a declaration from “Big Fish” screenwriter John August today, and he’s obviously been hanging out with Mac products for some time, given his outlook for it. Elsewhere, director Jason Matzer gave a micro-review of George Clooney’s new flick “The American,” and though we already new Eli Roth loves “The Last Exorcism,” we didn’t know he liked it enough to puke for it.
