Halo Toy Review: Bearbrick Master Chief figure
The Bearbrick line is not something I’m into. However, since they just put out a Master Chief figure, I decided to check out that one. The following is my video review of the fig.
Was it worth it? Well, for a one-off fig coming from China, yeah. It’s not something I would do all the time however. If they made a Cortana Bearbrick, I’d probably get that and stop there.
Do any of you have this figure also? If not, do you plan on getting it? Let me know.

It’s 117 days until Halo: The Master Chief Collection comes out!
Today marks 117 days until the Master Chief Collection comes out!
What makes this even more special for me is that it’s also Veterans Day. As a NAVY vet, that day and Memorial Day hold special meaning for me.
On that note, look for news hopefully soon regarding a partnership of sorts with a gaming veterans organization.
In the meantime, long live 117!

The Halo Bulletin 7-17-14
This bulletin would have been out sooner on the blog had I not tweaked my back. Apologies folks. Health comes first though.
Over the past two months, we’ve begun to share our plans for the current year and beyond. We started to announce new characters, vehicles, and re-mastered maps. In the near future, we’ll have more to share on everything from Halo: The Master Chief Collection to Halo: Nightfall, and more. We know you’re anxiously awaiting more details on these projects, and it just so happens that we’ll have new info to share with you quite soon. The next stop for the Halo team is sunny San Diego for the world famous Comic-Con International. Continue reading

I’m definitely going to have to try that Hologram trick!

Is Marty O’Donnell coming back to Halo????
The streets of Kirkland need cleaning up. Look at the trash I just ran into.

Okay, maybe this IS just a happenstance, but a Halo fan (for life) can hope, right???

Thinking about having a HFFL Community Member of the Month…
Halo Waypoint has it’s Community Member Spotlight. It seems they only pick the most well known names in the Halo community. that leaves the regular joe (and I include myself in this too) virtually no chance of being spotlighted. Continue reading

Marty O’Donnell puts out remix of Covenant Dance (for free)
Marty O’Donnell, THE MAN, when it comes to Halo music put out a remixed track Covenant Dance. The track is really futuristic in sound and could be a dance hall tune. (Well, except for the occasional announcer voice saying medals and such during the track.) LOL
Feel free to listen to it here:
Covenant-Dance-DJ-Tool-Komet.mp3
or download it here:

Enjoy and let me know what you think of this remix.

Halo 3 MOD. Putting Covenant and UNSC into Forge.
Normally I don’t like to post MODDED content. However, when it’s stuff like this that doesn’t affect matchmaking and is just for fun, I’m happy to oblige.
I did not create this. I have no clue how to mod.
This does make me wonder…if someone outside of Microsoft/Bungie/343 can mod the code to do this, why can’t we have it like this in the actual game?
I’d LOVE to be able to set up custom Firefight modes with whatever AI I’d want to use.
It’s unlikely that it will be in Halo 5 Guardians, but one can only hope.
Thanks to HaloBungie.org for tweeting this out.

Highlights from last night’s HFFL Community Night, via Kennigma’s Twitch stream.
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
