Hey Deej, non Mythic members like xbox live too.

Really, Ken? Please tell me more.

This is a day about longevity and nostalgia. I thought the Mythix might do a good job of putting things in perspective. I pay a lot of attention to each of you, and I know that every voice is important. Every week, I include as many of you as I can in the conversation on our blog. On this occassion, I needed to solicit some comments for press outlets in a way that was not exposed to the wild. When I sought to choose a group that could provide some meaningful context, I landed on the Mythic Members. In the even that the comments were not picked up, I ran them on our site. Then, I invited the rest of you to sound off...

This is a chance to celebrate a gaming platform that has brought us together.


I understand, I was just kidding around but I think I came off as a jerk.

I have no negative feelings, I was just joking.

Happy 10 years everyone :)

Again I apologize if I hurt anyone's feelings or came off as a jerk.

Happy ten years or Xbox Live guys!!!!

Why not stop by my File Share while you're here?

~Long Live Halo 2
Only regret is I didn't play more of it.

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm sort of a jerk.

Happy 10th to XBL. I've met some great friends through the service, both directly and indirectly.

With one press of a button, Xbox LIVE allows me to be connected with friends in Australia, England and the United States while I sit comfortably at home in Canada. People I consider my best friends are those I never would have stayed connected to had it not been for Halo and Xbox LIVE. Microsoft created LIVE and Bungie helped reinvented the service to make it what it is today. Thank you Microsoft. Thank you Bungie. Without the two combined I would be missing out on a lifetime of hard belly laughs while in great company.

This is a service I will never give up. Thank you and here's to many more.

I'm awesome...No seriously I am.

definatley would have never gotten XBL if it were not for Halo. Thanks Bungie.

Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time.

I know who you are.

You are Destiny.

Oh, that's what that was for.

When Halo 2 came out and I got XBL it really was like a light was switched on (in a gaming sense of course) and I've never looked back. I have met some of the most horribly vile and disgusting people I can find and I am proud to name them among my closest friends, I have been called a BK been BXR'D countless times and all the while had a smile on my face giving as good as I get. The Frozen Minority is my internet home because of Halo and XBL, I salute both Bungie and Microsoft for their parts in creating such a wonderful culture of games, abuse, sick dirty pro SKILLZ and general friendship.

I got XBL shortly after Rainbow Six 3 first came out. (around 2004 I believe) Best investment ever. Unfortunately XBL wouldn't let me keep my old account's name, so I created a new one that's only like 4 years old :(. My dad's account is still original though. I love seeing that 7 on his profile.

I don't think I would love video gaming nearly as much as I do if it weren't for XBL. I actually became friends with my now best friend due to XBL. I most certainly look forward to what comes in the future.

There should be an Xbox achievement for going on today

I don't see what's so special about today. Just another day on XBL with crap promotions.

It's the 10 birthday of XBL, how about a 10 gamerscore achievement. What could go wrong?

Awesome.

Kinda pointless since no one would see it once you gotten a bunch of achievements.

You didn't. Or maybe I'm a jerk and I can't see that.

What impact has XBL had on your life as a gamer?

Without Xbox Live, I wouldn't have became all that much of a gamer; I wouldn't have even been a Bungie fan.

Did any of you 10-year vets get this? (ignore the writing if you want)
