A man who can kick with both feet at the same time

Dear Jonof,
Do you remember how in Duke 1.3d it was possible to kick with both feet at the same time by equipping the kick and then pressing the quick kick button? I always saw this as a feature rather than a bug, I mean it's one of the things that makes Duke so manly!
So I was wondering if you would ever consider re-implementing the double-kick as an optional feature into JFDuke3d. I honestly think it would be a worthwhile addition.
Thanks.

I always considered it a bug rather than a feature. Is it really that big a deal aside from the novelty?

Dear Jonof,
Sorry it took so long for me to respond, I've been really busy with school and the like. But since I was younger, Duke 3d has been one of my favorite games. Not being interested in sports, I had to look for role models in places other than where most kids find them. And I guess Duke Nukem was kind of my role model. I introduced it to all my friends, and we would play Duke Nukem related games during recess at school. And one of the things we liked about him was how manly he was, he pops Steroids like M&Ms, he can jump like twice his own height, and mostly, he can kick with both feet at the same time. But now, he can't do that and it feels sort of crippling. I'm not asking that you have it be a default feature, but an optional one. Please, Jonof, it would really complete your port. To be honest, it's the only feature your port is missing, so please consider it, and I would really appreciate it.

Too much drama for a damn leg.
