HFFL Community Night starts at 8pm EST tonight!

Posted on by

Tonight starting at 8pm EST, is the HFFL Community Night. We’ll start off with some of the newly revealed racing maps from the Community Forge playlist. Then move to other customs. From there we’ll go into matchmaking. The playlist we go into will be determined by the amount of people we have in the group. We run tip about midnight. If people still want to game, we continue on gaming.

This is a great opportunity if you’ve not played with the HFFL community to get in a game night with us. If you’re looking for a fun casually/competitive community, this could be the one for you. We play to win, and have fun doing so.

If you want to join in tonight, send me a message over XBOX Live and let me know. My gamer tag is: HaloFanForLife1 Let me know you saw this article on the blog.

I look forward to having some fun tonight and hope you’ll join me and the rest of the HFFL crew.

2nd Annual HFFL LANstravaganza update: Prizes

Posted on by

HFFL 2014 LAN logo

Yesterday, I received a small box from Mega Brands (makers of Halo Mega Bloks). Inside were a couple of prizes as well as the following 2014 convention exclusive figures.

I was a little perplexed why I received Call of Duty figs since this is a Halo only site. I contacted Mega and they said the CoD figs were sent by mistake and that they’ll try to get out more of the Halo figs to me. SO for now I have 15 each of the Halo and CoD 2014 exclusive figs. I’m sure some of the fellas coming to the LAN would like to have the CoD fig. Whatever is left, I’ll give away, though not on this site. I’ll post details of that after the LAN.

2nd Annual HFFL LANstravaganza Schedule of events

Posted on by

HFFL 2014 LAN logo

Okay folks, were two weeks out from the LAN. So I figured this would be a good time to post what the schedule of will be. Before I start that, let me state a few things. Photos will be taken throughout. By coming to the LAN, you consent to have your photo taken without reimbursement in any form. Photos will be used for Blog purposes, such as the LAN recap and possibly as part of background images for the Blog’s home page.

Alcohol is bring your own. You MUST be 21 with a valid license to bring and drink on the premises. NO exceptions. If I feel you are unfit to drive, you are NOT to drive. Rather you will be instructed to call someone to get you, be that friend, family or taxi. (Cost to yourself, not HFFL). This is a family type gathering, so please behave as such. Remember, I have to continue to live here after everyone else leaves. Bad behavior will not be tolerated. Be forewarned that we have police as neighbors. Again, act respectfully. Okay, on with the schedule:

Smoking is not permitted on the property. There will be a receptacle just outside of the property fence for you to smoke by and dispose of your cigarette butts. (I have breathing problems, so please be mindful and respectful of that, thanks.)

No one is permitted to come to the LAN without paying full admission. This is due to the need to cover the equipment and food/beverages cost, as well as the cost for some of the prizes. Continue reading →

The last few days…

Posted on by

First, apologies to you folks that I haven’t posted much in a couple of days. I’ve been going through a rough patch. Seeing that the fundraising effort fell flat, put me in a depressed mood. To further that, the money I have saved for 5 months for an XBOX One will be gone to cover the expense of the LAN. This has caused me to be further depressed.

Beyond that, I got some news yesterday that was both disappointing and disconcerting. Continue reading →

Okay folks, I need for those of you who are coming to the LAN to please e-mail me with your confirmation of such. If you have anyone else you will be bringing (and that is SOLID for attending, not just possible), please include that in your e-mail as well. If you have more that will attend with you after you send the e-mail, please send me an update by e-mail so that I may include them into the number of attendees. Continue reading →

HFFL Community Night tomorrow AND Mixer!

Posted on by

I will be a special guest on Podcast Evolved tomorrow. They stream live starting at 6pm. twitch.tv/podcast_evolved.

Right after the podcast, we’ll be going into Halo 4. Podcast Evolved will bring their folks and I hope that some of you folks will join in with me so that we can have a good turnout for a mixed community night. We’ll likely play a few games against each other’s communities, then mix the teams up with some from each group on each team.

HFFL Community night starts at 8pm and will continue on until Midnight EST.

If you want to join in on the fun, message me on XBOX Live at GT= HaloFanForLife1

I hope to see you there!
