Conan O’Brien Easter Egg in Halo 4!

IN case you haven’t found it yet, Jack and Geoff from Achievement Hunter show you where you can find the red-headed screwball himself and his lackey Andy Richter. (I mean that in the nicest sincerest way fellas)

They don’t show the whole thing, but it’s enough to get a laugh. Now it’s your turn to T-BAG Conan! LOL.

Halo 4 War Games daily challenges: 11-17-12

Whew okay, today’s challenges are going to be just that a challenge. 4 killing sprees in one match? I’ve got that in Halo 4 already, but only twice. This one is not so easy.

The next one…uh again with the Regicide…win three matches. Playing the gametype no problem, winning three? That will take a little effort. I’ve already completed the weekly challenge, so I’ll pass on this second one.

I hope next week’s challenges don’t involve Regicide. While it’s fun to play, I think I’ve played enough of it this past week to last for awhile. If the challenges are going to be based on objective gametypes, I’d rather see CTF, then possibly Oddball. My guess though since Regicide is one of 343’s new gametypes, that we’ll see some challenges having to do with Dominion or Extraction to get more people playing in those playlists.

To be honest, I haven’t played any Extraction games, so that might be a good thing to try out.

Whew, got a bit off topic….LOL.

Halo 4 War Games daily challenges: 11-16-12

15 Precision weapon kills, easy enough. Doesn’t say in one game, so that should be very easy to do over the course of the day.

Okay but that second one….We get it 343, you want us to play Regicide. I like the game type. But 10 in ONE match? Come on really? Of all the friends I game with, in the last week I think there’s only been ONE of them who got 10 in one match. And we’re not talking NOOBS here. Some of these guys are REALLY good at the game, almost MLG level…10 in one game? That’s a bit excessive, don’tcha think? Drop this to 8 and then more people could get it. Those extra two really are a be-otch to get.

Halo Mega Bloks Forward Unto Dawn set…

Okay after a little ordeal I went through ordering this, I’ve finally received my set. Thanks to Toys R Us for fixing everything up correctly.

Over the course of the next several days, I’ll be posting a continuing article covering the build of this massive set. Pics of course will be included as I always do for reviews. Normally, I post one whole review per article like this, but given this set’s size and piece count one article just won’t do it justice.

Here’s a refresher of the set I’m talking about:

I’m going to have LOADS of pics for this one.

Thanks for making the first HFFL community playdate a success!

Last night I held the first of HaloFanForLife.com (HFFL) Community Playdates. Some good participation there. We tromped through War Games in various modes including CTF, Oddball, Infinity Slayer, and a special custom map I made. AS well we got in a mission of Spartan Ops.

I know I’ll forget someone who came to play last night, so instead of thank personally on the blog, I’ll give a general thanks.

I’m not sure how often I’ll do this. I’m thinking every other week? And I may change the time to a weekend day and have it earlier to get even more participation. Some of my English readers would have played had it not been so late for them.

Again, many thanks.

If you missed it and want to participate, look for another HFFL community playdate very soon. You need to be a subscriber to the blog (which is FREE) and all I ask is be nice in gameplay. No douchebaggery.

Halo Bulletin for 11-15-12

LOTS of good info in this week’s Halo Bulletin. It starts out with a very cool Didact glyph background image that you might use for your computer. It was done by Firestream of Halo Unity:

After this comes a bunch of stats on the first 5 days of Halo 4’s release. Some huge numbers there.

The rest of the Bulletin is an exhaustive rundown on how and where to check your Spartan career. If you haven’t delved into that yet, this bulletin will definitely get you VERY acquainted with it.
