About Sal

I’ve got tons of experience with Halo gaming and collecting. I feel I have something to offer to the greater Halo fan community. Posts along the way will be about tips and tricks in the games as well as collecting and many more Halo related things. I’ll also repost interesting articles from the official site, Halowaypoint.com, or from fellow Halo fan sites. As I continue this blog, I hope to help gamers who want advice on the games, as well as any collectors with regards to where to find collectibles as well as deals, coupons and so on. You can also follow me on Twitter at: http://twitter.com/#!/HaloFanForLife or Facebook at: http://www.facebook.com/halofanforlife11. Welcome to my blog and I hope you’ll come back again and again. -Sal

The Twelve Days of Halo

GWH posted this on the HFFL forums. I just had to share it. He wrote one a few years ago and updates it every year as needed. This is 2014’s version.

The Twelve Days of Halo

by GoodWillHunter

On the twelfth day of Halo,
My new clan sent to me –
Twelve drop pods dropping,
Eleven snipers sniping,
Ten jackals creeping,
Nine wraiths advancing,
Eight grenades a-sticking,
Seven grunts exploding,
Six spartans slaying,
Five….bold marines,
Four falling drones,
Three pelicans,
Two armored gloves,
And a cartridge in my SMG!

A little light today for the blog…I’m working on a BIG project though!

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.

What are you thankful for?

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
