Depends on the posts-per-page. But many hundred posts, that's for sure.

EDIT: 719, from the news from valve thread. That's incredible, the news-only thread is longer than everything else
 
Any plans on keeping this Thread alive until haflife2 is on our laps covering my petruding buldge...........
 
can someone post the letter in here? the site went down =/

You know, Valve employees have families. They probably take the weekend off.

I doubt valve's taken a weekend off in months.

Vivendi has the disk, in order to it to go "gold" Vivendi has to test it and make sure it all works out.

Very good point. They probably turned in release candidate 2 or 3 to Vivendi today, with both parties expecting it to pass, after a rigorous weekend of testing by Vivendi.

SCREW THE SENSIBILITY!!! EVERYONE GO CRAZY! HALF-LIFE 2 IS FINALLY GOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, I'm trying, but it's so surreal, and they've been wrong so many times, it's hard to actually believe them. I'll try again.

GO VALVE!!! FINALLY!!! WHOOT!!!

that was a little better, but I didn't really buy into the "whoot" part. I'll go work on it...
 
no way i've seen threads here way over 20 pages back when the first delay happened and the leaked alpha
 
They need to make a video of the g-man and gordon breakdancing on a disco in source

with Hl2 gold printed everywhere... OR ... we can let them concentrate on getting it out and someone else can do that :-P
 
If this is fake, I will track down and brutally murder the person who faked it!
 
Think about all of those people who are going to wake up to this news!
 
Gabe said one line, that ended the long wait, and triggered the life of a new and fresh journey, as we all leave the memories of half-life, and all it has brought to us over the past 6 years, behind, and travel forward, with half-life 2. May God bless you all, and Valve.

Feel free to spread that quote...i rather like it. :)

DamonZex, it basically means that Valve gives Vivendi a master disc for mass production.
 
hahah it'd be funny if gabe replied back

"oh wait sorry... man we are all really ripped here right now, doug dropped his car keys and i said "man, i'm gonna post saying hl2 is going gold monday man... we're gonna laugh the whole universe about it"

*all sit around computer screen giggling for a 1\2 hour about it
 
doom3 was nice, but it seems like such an afterthought now that hl2 is going gold soon.

They're going to send the finished disk to the publisher (Vivendi I think) because they've finished making the game and need to start making copies of it. :cheers:
