Duke Nukem Forever Goes Gold
An anonymous reader writes with enthusiasm "Duke Nukem Forever has finally gone gold!"
Looks like it'll be on shelves around June 10th with a demo available for Duke Nukem First Access Club members available June 3rd. Can it really be true?
I appreciate your position, but there is always late at night when the family is asleep. Don't forget the headphones.
Oliver's law of assumed responsibility: If you're seen fixing it, you will be blamed for breaking it.
If this was a record that would be correct. As this is not a record that is not what it means. In this case it means a gold master was made for the DVD production run.

Had you tried typing into google you would have gotten this information.
Short answer: No, the term doesn't refer to that. It means the development company has produced the "golden master" copy of the software. That is, the copy that they will send to their manufacturers to be mass-duplicated, producing units for sale.

While I agree he's a nut, I would be careful throwing stones. Let me put it this way: As a Christian, you most likely believe some or all of this:
...a cosmic Jewish zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree.
Unlike some of the other posters, I don't really want to turn this into a religious argument, but might I suggest that you just leave it as "he's a nut", something we can all agree on.
Don't thank God, thank a doctor!
