Its suppose to go GOLD tomorrow. Yeah!!!!!!!! :cheers: :afro: :bounce:
 
No, it's supposed to go gold on the 16th.

It won't go gold on a weekend.
 
It's not "Supposed" to go gold any time. It goes gold when it's finished, they don't aim for a particular day.
 
THERE IS NO "SUPPOSED" GOLD DATE, IT WILL GO GOLD WHENEVER ITS DONE, ITS NOT THE TYPE OF THING YOU PLAN FOR A SPECIFIC DAY.

i wish people would stop saying "oh well its going gold on blah blah day" it doesnt work that way ;/

The "link wit da shiz"[sic] was a Gamestar Article written in German. It's a few months old.
 
Thats all dogshit. Games HAVE to go gold roughly 2 weeks before release, at the minimum 2 weeks. 16th is exactly 2 weeks from the 30th. So its 16th or god knows what.

No they don't, that's not a rule. They could go Gold whenever they want.

Going gold means it's done. And the games need a couple weeks to get ready to ship, ship out, and get delivered to stores. So they need atleast 2 or so weeks for that.
 
*sigh*

So many idiots.

Gabe has said that the game is looking golden on the 16th. He's said it in one of his many interviews or in an e-mail posted around here or something. But he has said it.

Then show the link to us idiots.
 
You know the one thing that bothers me...

Not if it will be late (I can wait, I'd rather have it done than bug-ridden)

But even if it's a single day late, fragmaster will be "techinically" right and will brag.

Ahh well, that's life I guess. :)

Do you work for a Publishers? Two weeks is a long time. Half-Life went Gold on the 7th of November and it was released on the 11th.

Unreal Tournament 2003 (or 2004) went gold a week before it came out. (I've heard other people mention it).

There is no "Two week rule".

Hey Gabe,

Everybody at the hl2.net forums are questioning this "supposed" interview with you from some guy at nerdsahoy.com.

Heres the link: http://nerdsahoy.com/interviews/090103_gaben_hl2.htm

Thanks in advance!,

and heres a quote from the nerdsahoy site.


Seriously. Or I'll kill you with my thumb.

Oh, I meant it's coming out September 30th. The same as it's always been. Things will be looking golden in about two weeks. We're in the final stages of playtesting.

there you have it, fake interview, quoting gabe as saying its looking golden in two weeks.

now kindly keep quiet unless you have truthful info.
 
I suspect that they'll work on it all weekend long, and go gold on monday the 15th. It's just a guess but that would fit with a September 30th release nicely.

valve should take the weekend to kick back with some corona and chill.
 
And shove the empty bottles up the G-Man's ass and lunch his eyeballs half way across the world with a real-life "Manipulator"

Oh. So let me just take a look at what you just said. Me talkin' in ebonics (which is my choice to do not yours) can easily imply that I am black. And you said that you would rip of my SKIN and use it for a lampshade. So you don't like my skin color? You a cracka boy?
 
sorry i'll make it a bit more clear for you, since you seem to have trouble understanding it

STOP WITH THE EBONICS PAHTNAH
 
Just speak proper english, we dont care what your skin color is, speaking in ebonics implies that you are arrogant and poorly tought.
