From HFFL to YOU, a very Happy 117 Day!
I’ll be spending it playing the Halo 5 Guardians Beta! (Only two days left to do so!!!)

This is the fourth in a 10-part series of articles that will give you between 40-50 of the Achievement pics from the Halo Master Chief Collection. These are the very same ones you unlock through the game and can set as your background on the XBOX One.

This series is in alphabetical order for easy of looking up. Part 4 starts from “Gimme That” and goes to “Idle Hands”.

When all 10 articles are complete, I’ll post a list of links at the end of each article for you to easily find the others in this series.

The gallery below again is in alphabetical order, left to right then down to the next line, and so on. Click pics to make bigger of course. Feel free to download any/all of them as you wish. ENJOY! Continue reading →

The fifth of this series of articles for the achievements of the Halo Master Chief Collection brings us to Halo 4. At the bottom will be links for the other parts to this simple guide.

This is just a guideline of course. You may find other ways to get these achievements. It’s just my way of helping you through this massive list.

HFFL Community Friend ‘Tetrahedrite’ wrote up his own guideline and shared it with me. We talk and agreed to share in this guide. I’ll do my best to make mention of his specific contributions.

Now on with part 5 of the guide: Continue reading →

Hello again folks. Just wanted to give out a reminder of the HFFL Charity and LAN fundraiser.

We’ve stalled at $400. The goal is $2,000 and time is running short. The 2nd annual HFFL LANstravaganza is on AUG 16. That is also the last day for fundraising for this charity. Continue reading →

Here’s the twitch stream from last night’s HFFL/Podcast Evolved mixed Community Night.
Kennigma was to be the other guest host on the podcast, but couldn’t make it. Though she did make it for the game night portion and streamed it, thankfully for us.

Below is the link to the full 2+ hour gaming session that she was in on (though it lasted for several more hours after that). Continue reading →

You’ve seen his props featured here on the blog before. Now Andrew is finally selling a few of his props. Not as commissions, but as part of what he has already made.

Take a look at the vid below for what he has to offer. The auctions for these will be going up tomorrow on eBay.

Looking for the Halo 4 Ricochet Multi-Team game type?

Download it here!

I’m glad this is available now. I already have a Ricochet map built with a Spectator section to watch the game in progress using a third team.

Speaking of Ricochet, have you been playing it? Like it or not, and why?

While watching the stream Ghostayame listed 12 of the competitors who got through. I was only able to catch 8 of those 12 as he talked a bit too fast for me to get them all down.

Here are those 8 in no particular order (gametags have been abbreviated or written as full letters for easy reading):
I Got Your Pistola
Ace
Naded
APG
Ninja
Hoaxer
Ogre2
Spartan the Dog

In other news, two competitors who went at it on twitter with each other are out. Sadly, T2 former Halo champ is out. The GREAT news? Giggle Monstat is out. This is that “cheater” who I ranted on. I’m ecstatic that he’s gone from the competition. Now perhaps we may have a LEGITIMATE winner.

In sad news, Snipedown has been eliminate and just tweeted that he’s retiring.
