Bioshock - Gold!

Blue's has news of a interview with Ken Levine at Newsweek that includes the revelation that Bioshock has already gone Gold:

BioShock has already gone gold. How have you celebrated this milestone in the past, and how did you celebrate this milestone for BioShock?
We just had a team party in Boston, and then we have a event on the launch night on August 20th, which we’re inviting lots of people to, including members of the BioShock fan community. I'm actually looking forward to that, because launches are usually such abstract things. You wake up launch morning and it’s like, "Hey, our game has, umm, shipped to retail!" It’s not exactly like headlining at Madison Square Garden.

Bioshock Gold!

I had an "O" face when I read those words.

It is nice to see … it seems like you get the actual announcements less and less as companies seem to be tweaking until the final moment and working on patches right after the manufacturing copy is ripped from their hands … I hope this lives up to all of the expectations!

I like what I've seen I must say - a kind of dark Jules Verne thing going on.
