Not much to report today. The new Nightfall episode, and that’s about it. New patch for the HMCC is incoming.
In the meantime, I’ve got a project I’m working on that will take some time to complete. I’m already 5 1/2 hours into. I expect another 10 hours or so for this before I’m done.
What it is, I do not yet want to say. Believe me, you will know what the project is when done.
So yeah…this is just a little tease for now.
Today, Tom, from TheSSMotion, asked if I’d be interested in posting their contest here on HFFL. Of course I’m happy to.
For the second year in a row TheSSMotion is hosting their Christmas Toymation Fest! Last year they had some amazing entries. The theme is ‘BATTLE‘ and it must be no more than three minutes long.
• Submission Period is the 20th November to the 20th December.
• Voting Commences from the 31st of December to the 4th of January
• Winners Announced on the 5th of January
• Theme of Stop Motion is Battle
• Can be based around any MB theme and not just Halo! Continue reading
Last week, I posted a contest to color in this image.
Unfortunately, I didn’t get any entries. This could possibly be due to Thanksgiving. No problem. I knew I was going to color this in myself and would still have something to post. The image below is my finished version, after which, I’ll show and explain HOW I got to this from start to finish. Continue reading
We as a species are getting closer and closer to further space exploration. With the hopes of a manned mission to Mars in a few years, we’re taking another step closer to humans colonizing planets other than Earth.
The following short film gives us a glimpse of what future generations may see in their lifetimes. Continue reading
Okay, now that Thanksgiving weekend is over and I’m back to normal (entertaining relatives all weekend long) blogging, I’d like to post what I’m thankful for. Not just Halo, but in general.
I’d also like to read what you’re thankful for too.
First and foremost, I’m thankful for my wife. She is very understanding of my fandom for Halo. As I’ve credited to her many times, she’s the one responsible for suggesting I start this blog in the first place. As well, she’s the one who buys nearly all of the Halo Mega Bloks sets that I review here on HFFL. So without here, there would be no HFFL. Continue reading
I got an e-mail from Twitch letting me know about a Halo 2 Anniversary LAN. Check below for the details.
The Halo 2 Anniversary LAN Championship, hosted by Gfinity in conjunction with TopMid, will see 16 of the greatest Halo teams from Europe do battle at Gfinity’s dedicated esports studio in London on November 29th & 30th. Continue reading
For what appears to be the second week in a row, Waypoint hasn’t released a bulletin online. If it pops up on the Halo Channel, I’ll post what I can of it. Otherwise, another week goes by.
This is disconcerting as when the Halo Channel launched, 343 themselves promised current up-to-date information, this including weekly bulletins. Continue reading
This is a reblog from HaloWaypoint:

343 has announced they will be holding a community playdate on January 5th. Read below for the details.
Halo Escalation #12 is now available to buy. As always, if you buy print editions, I highly suggest buying form your local comic book store. I prefer to support local businesses myself, that’s why I promote them.
Here’s Darkhorse’s quick blurb about it:
“Exposure” part 2—Disaster looms as Spartans Ray and Thorne race against time to track down a mysterious new weapon of mass destruction. Duffy Boudreau (BlackAcre, Bloodshot) and Douglas Franchin bring you the stunning conclusion of another action-packed chapter of the Halo saga!
Here’s the cover for #12: Continue reading
I can’t recall where I found this one at, so apologies to whomever made it originally (if anyone knows who and can send links to verify that, please do so I can give proper credit).
I thought this looked pretty cool.
Would certainly make for a nice wall poster, don’t you think?

I got this pic from Pinterest which got it from DeviantArt. The original artwork can be found HERE. I removed the color background and sword.
What I want YOU folks to do is color in the art and add an energy sword for the Arbiter. I’ll feature entries on the blog (nothing vulgar folks). From there I’ll pick the one I like the most. Continue reading
For those of you watching Nightfall, you know of the Sedrans. They have their own militia. Below is their logo. I was able to screenshot and clean up the logo in Photoshop.
It’s simple, yet the middle portion is a little mesmerizing.
Feel free to download this.

Okay, so I do not support modding multiplayer as that is cheating in a competitive mode. Not that I support modding at all, but I do have to say that being able to drive the Mammoth was one thing I was really hoping to do. Below shows modded Lord Zedd driving the Mammoth. Watch all the way until the end… Continue reading
Here they are folks, many of the 2015 Mega Bloks sets. I’ve referred to some of them on the blog before. Now I have pics of the sets within their packaging.
Make special not of the Covenant Drone set… Continue reading
