    Hello Gabe, I've just read the thread in hl2fallout about HL2 going gold on monday.
    As a hardcore fan I must ask: IS THIS REAL?

    Thanks for the kickass game

    Exactly! They must complete CS:S to use it to dominate the minds of all children and turn them into unwilling zombie soldeirs of the Valve empire! HAIL!

    Seriously though, people suck for doing crap like this.

    Most people/companies don't announce gold status on public forums and let the publisher or an official statement handle it instead. The exception I can think of off-hand is one of the id guys posting Doom3 gold status to the Shack, but Activision had the news out shortly after that, and I consider the Shack a much more serious site than a forum community that dissects every syllable and pixel coming from Valve into some grand design from God himself. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Also, you don't say "will go gold in 2 days." That just doesn't happen. If you get publisher approval, that's it. Things start in motion from the copy you already sent.

    And I will say 99% odds that 'gaben' was <i>not</i> his password, and just some lame cookie-cutter attempt to make him look like a moron, just like everyone else is so dead-set on doing. Calm down and wait for your game already.
