Half-Life 2 Bug Watch [Jul 21, 2004, 10:59 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
A post to the HL2 World

offers an email reply reportedly from Gabe Newell with the status of Half-Life 2
(thanks Marcoux and Voodoo
Extreme), offering some crunch time math:
Right now we are looking at our bug numbers. Each day you fix some bugs and you find some new bugs. The net number tells you how quickly you will get to zero.
At our current rate of find/fix bugs, we'll be down to zero bugs in 16 days.
sounds like the Valve team is trying to steal a little thunder from Doom 3. Why can't we all just get along? We're all gonna buy both games anyway. Shaddap already.
Not shit, thats what makes me laugh. Real gamers will buy both, fanboys will rob themselves of gaming bliss!

I still think that EMAIL is a hint to when the game will go GOLD-- 16 days from now is the day DOOM 3 is SHIPPING- What a better way to steal thunder from Doom 3 then to make a - HALF-LIFE 2 goes gold announcement? Still it will take about 3 weeks from that announcemnt- so im betting on a LATE august- First week of september- I will be playing half-life 2.. hmm scary.. Nvidia is going to get a huge boost with the recent DOOM3 and Nvidia cards = killer framerates - ATI will benefit greatly if Half-LIfe 2 is indeed bug free in 16 days 
WHY 16 DAYS? THAT MORE THAT TWICE THE TIME IT TOOK FOR JESUS TO MAKE THE WORLD. LOOK AT HOW PERFECT THAT WORLD TURNED OUT.
nah, 16 days is surely including their estimated doom3 finishing time of 09:30.
a great year for gaming. Going to be enjoying DoomIII until HL2 comes out.
Do you think the bugs are done in 16 days because they plan on buying Doom 3 and playing it?
With Doom 3 gold and HL 2's goldness apparently imminent, I don't think I'm gonna have enough time to keep playing Eve Online (my current addiction).
Oh well
Oh well
I eat pasta!
i wonder if they shoot for a september 30th release, aka NEVER!
Their shipping a bug free game WOOHOO!!! When is Gabe going to quit lying and go back to eating more babies!
