Hello folks. Just wanted to give you all a reminder of the upcoming LAN party I’ll be hosting on August 16 at my home in Pittsburgh, PA.
If you’re interested in knowing some of the particulars that will happen during the party, please check out the LAN page HERE. There will be more details posted there as they become available.
I want to make special notice of the Charity / LAN / Domain Fundraising effort in this article. Continue reading
We recorded this last night at about 9:30pm EST. I had with me my two co-hosts, Zach and Martin, as well as one of my gaming group fellas, Brent. We talk about the first two days of RTX, Halo Mega Bloks, and Pro gamers returning to Halo because of Halo 2 Anniversary.
Take a listen to the almost 1:40 podcast:
And don’t forget you can always catch us through iTunes. Search the podcast section for Spirit of Fire.

For those not going out to celebrate Independence Day, HFFL will be holding it’s weekly Community Night. However, since 343 has created a special playlist for this weekend, that is primarily what we will be playing. Continue reading
I’ve got some good news folks!
On Friday, I received an e-mail back from Mega Bloks, regarding them sponsoring the LAN. They have agreed!
There will door prizes for each attendee.
As well, there will be prizes for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place of the FFA Tournament held during the LAN. There will be a 2v2 tourney as well with prizes.
As to what those are specifically, that information will be released closer to the LAN. Of course they are Halo Mega Bloks related…LOL.
As always, keep checking back to the LAN page for updated info in case you miss it during regular blog posts.

My good friend Paul, who’s son ‘HFFL Big Cheese’ is a member of my gaming group, has decided to sponsor HFFL for the 2nd Annual LANstravaganza. He’s doing so through his eBay account. Paul used to have a trading card store and has a lot of those in his auctions. However, that’s not just it. There are Dragonball Z, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Call of Duty Mega Bloks, and of course some Halo items up for auction.
Paul has agreed to give HFFL 50% of his earnings from all sales this week. This could be a very nice boost to the goal I have for the LAN and Domain renewal.
Please take a couple of minutes and check out his eBay offering here: Collectors.Choice By the way, I should note, Paul has a 100% positive rating on eBay. I’ve bought from him in the past as well. VERY good person to deal with on eBay!
He has lots of auctions starting at $1. Every and anything helps folks. You know I’d appreciate it as this has the potential to solidify the goal of making the LAN FREE.
Should you buy something from him, let him know that ‘Sal from HFFL sent you’.
Thanks again to Paul for his generous sponsorship. I’ll let you all know what that turns into for HFFL after the next seven days.

Why Halo is my destiny and not…Destiny.
For at least a year I had been debating with myself about my involvement with Bungie’s new game, Destiny. I had to consider many things.
• Do I want to have another blog?
• Do I want to be a part of another gaming community?
• What can I bring to that community?
• Is the game really worth this much effort (again-meaning will I put as much into it as I do HFFL)?
• How do I really feel about Destiny being multi-platform and Playstation owners getting content that will NOT be available for the XBOX One? Continue reading
