Hello! Invite, please. Thanks!

So, here's the thing. I've only known about Freeman's Mind for the past two years, and it saddens me that I couldn't have been there since the start, like so many others had. I am in a similar situation with Red vs. Blue and Rooster Teeth. That being said, I am crying right now. The completion of the long journey, reading everyone's sentimental stories about how they were in middle school or high school when Freeman's Mind started, and are now out of college, some even married with children, able to see the series end. I am not nearly as closely tied to this series as others, but goddammit, I am crying. I understand that you simply viewed it as one more project to complete, and are, at this point, seemingly not going to continue on with Half-Life 2. There's so many things you want to do, and oh my god, you had better do them, man! Never stop! On one hand, Freeman's Mind was able to raise so much money for you, and even created a devoted fanbase. It also kept the spirit of Half-Life alive, within many of us, for a long time. But on the other hand, you're done. That's it. Time to move on, right? Right. You have many more ideas and goals, that we really can't wait to find out about in January, and I'm sure many of us will stick around to find out what you make next. Hell, I made an account just to say something, and I'm definitely going to stick around. I might only be spying on your front page and YouTube channel, seeing as how the forums aren't as active as they could be, but cross my heart if I don't keep following you and your work. You're an inspiration, Ross. An admirable man. You were the one to start a certain era of machinima, and you were the one to end it. I wish I had more to say, but really, this is it. Just... Thank you so much for all of your hard work. I, and the others, appreciate it dearly. My only concern now, other than *cough*HL2 and HL3 is regarding your store. I really hope it's back up and running some time, I would gladly throw my money at you. ("Is this Bioshock?" "He's playing Half-Life 2." "The game he's playing is SHUT THE FUCK UP." - Absolutely hilarious, albeit unfortunate.)
