Gabe Newell just broke the news on the HL2Fallout forums - Half-Life 2 is set to go gold this Monday, August 30th. Read it for yourself over in this thread at HL2Fallout!
Thanks to ShAdOw for the heads up.
*UPDATE* The post is in fact a fake post, according to CS-Nation the account was hacked and the gold notice is false. *UPDATE*
*UPDATE* The Gabe Newell poser has continued to post using Gabe's user account on the Half-Life 2 Fallout Forums. The Moral of the Story: Never use your first name and last initial as a password. *UPDATE*

We now have an official comment from VALVe's Chris Bokitch over at the Steam User Forums:
false.
Do you really think the gold announcement will be made with a 4 word forum post?
