(Shark grabs podium)
Less than 6 hours to go now on the west coast until Halo 3. Friends, let's take a look back at all the things that brought us here, more than three years now running on Live.
We've stuck together, us 20-or-so members, from the humble beginnings of Ghost Recon action, for three years on Halo 2, all the way up to today's multiplayer spread with skate., Rainbow Six, Gears of War, and Forza Motorsport.
There have been over 350,000 clan kills in Halo 2 (at last count) and we've faced off against 80,000+ Xbox Live members. We've seen TV's and consoles go from simple and boxy to sexy and in full glorious HD.
And there have been LAN's! From the beaches of Southern California to the sunny summers of Portland, where we gathered to enjoy our company not over a TV and headset, but over a beer and good food.
All that is about to get even more insane.
The door to a whole new generation of game is opening. From the endless possibilities with Forge, to the variety that is the Halo community worldwide. Tonight, our humble group of limited skill gamers venture into the vast possibilities of the future, while knowing the past and many opponents fragged to get here.
This is a great night, one we've been looking forward to for months, some even years, and now it has arrived. At his point I leave you with a question and a thought...
Enjoy the game, whatever the score. There will always be good nights and bad nights, but it is never the final tally that counts.
And, who will be first online? :)

So so foggy right now. Hours and hours straight. Must find rest and get mind off of H3. Can't, failing, must play on. Good ni.....
Shark this is well said and I am proud to wear my 2130 badge everyday.
I'm tearing up a bit after reading that. Well done Shark. Thanks for reminding us why we do this in the first place and why we keep coming back. Here's to more new consoles, many more LANs, and gaming with the 2130 until we're too old to control our bowls. Of course, we'll just put on diapers and keep gaming but you get my drift. Actually, I do that already...oh nevermind.
Nice Shark
From the day I started hanging with you all my life has been richer. Sound silly but I friends around the world. My best friends, my family and 2130 is all part of the same circle. Plus its a blast 95% off the time(3% is TOOHARD and the sonic the Shotgunmove)
You nailed it shark!
Good Times
