I’ll be asking trivia questions throughout the LAN Event. If you get it right first, you’ll win a small prize. (Once you’ve won, please give someone else a chance to win.)

These small prizes will range from Halo Mega Bloks minifigures to McFarlane Halo Avatar figures, to a McFarlane Halo 4 Watcher action figure, or a McFarlane Halo 4 Crawler action figure.

Don’t forget EVERYONE who comes to the event (with paid admission) gets a free Halo Mega Bloks convention exclusive minifigure as a door prize and my thanks for attending the LAN Event, courtesy of Mega Brands, makers of Halo Mega Bloks.

Announcing the prizes for the HFFL LAN event on Sept 14.

HFFL has been promoting the LAN for a few weeks now. In that short time, I got 26 registrations. Not too bad considering the limited time.

During this time I also contacted several Halo licensees to see if they’d donate prizes. Door prizes and prizes for the Free-For-All tournament that is part of the LAN.

MEGA Brands, makers of Halo MEGA Bloks answered the call!!

Everyone coming to the LAN with paid admission will receive the Halo minifigure exclusive. So far it’s only been given out at San Diego Comicon, with expectations of it likely being given away at New York Comicon as well.

In addition to that, the top three finishers in the FFA tourney will receive prizes.
These are:
1st place: one each of the Halo Mega Bloks Night Ops Gauss Hog and Anti Armor Cobra (total value approx $83 before tax)
2nd place: Mega Bloks Anti Armor Cobra (approx value $50)
3rd place: Mega Bloks Night Ops Gauss Hog (approx value $33)

I’ve already reviewed the Gauss Hog here.
Here’s a pic of the set for reference:

And a reference pic of the Anti Air Cobra:

I look forward to meeting all of you who are coming to the LAN.

Dont’ forget we’re stream the LAN/games as well!

Another shot of the amazing Didact cosplay from PAX.

PAX Didact Cosplay 2This shot is even better than the first (see below) as it shows the lighting as well as the shoulder floating armor in much better detail. And check out the amazing Needler! (Even if the Didact didn’t use one, it’s still COOL!)

Here’s the original pic I posted a few days ago.

“Sparth” the great concept artist from 343 showing some more great concept art!

I’m already a huge fan of Sparth’s. I love concept art in general and his is among the best I’ve ever seen.

He tweeted out a link to 5 more concept art pieces. I’m bringing those to you now. (Click to make bigger)

tumblr_mslyvqT5GI1r5ajivo5_1280A portion of the crashed Forward Unto Dawn. Even in concept the detail is amazing.

tumblr_mslyvqT5GI1r5ajivo2_1280This seems to be a concept of the core of Requiem. VERY different from what ends up in the game.

tumblr_mslyvqT5GI1r5ajivo4_1280Both dark and light shots of the same scene. Again the detail and depth of field Sparth exhibits in his artwork is simply amazing!

tumblr_mslyvqT5GI1r5ajivo1_1280The jungles of Requiem. Hmm, what is that ablazing?

You can follow Sparth on twitter@ at @nbsparth I highly recommend him!
