Steve Downes and Jen Taylor the voice actors for Master Chief and Cortana respectively were nominated to do the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. They both stepped up to the plate. Check out the link below to watch!

I think it’s pretty darn cool they did it mostly in character too.

Last night I was a guest on a new podcast called Podcast Evolved. This is my second time being a guest on the podcast. We talked about Gamescom, PAX, the LAN I just had and more. Listen to the vid below. It was done live via Skype and streamed on Twitch. Continue reading
I found yet some more great art and more on Pinterest and pinned them to HFFL’s Pinterest page. Below are a dozen new pins. Check them out! Continue reading
We have returned from the world’s largest game show. We gave you a brand new look at Halo 2: Anniversary, and if you were with us in Germany, you likely got hands on with the all-new multiplayer. We braved absurd crowds and lines, and most of us made it home alive. I have returned home with a terrible fever, which is why today’s Bulletin is coming in one day late. Thank you for your patience, friends. The below picture helps to shed light on why we barely survived gamescom. Continue reading
Not only did 5 of our 343 folks take the challenge, but Master Chief himself did the honors of dumping the cold water on them.
Oh…and stay through to the end. It’s EPIC! Continue reading
If you didn’t see it, or would like to view the Power Point slides again, you’re in luck. Microsoft’s Offics Faebook page released the following statement from Halo Franchise Media Manager Che Chou. Followed by the slides in order. Continue reading
First, before you watch the vid, I want to say that ˆ’m not fond of the name of the vid. That being “Halo: The Return”. Halo never left, some of it’s fans did. Yes, we could converse about how Halo changed, but we’ll save that for another time.
In the meantime, take a look at this homage vid that shows some sick pro plays and builds up to the reveal of the Master Chief Collection. Continue reading
This past weekend saw the 2nd Annual HFFL LANstravaganza come and gone. It started Thursday night when I went to pick up my first guest from the airport. That was ‘Dij’. He’s one of my HFFL gaming group buds. He came up form Texas. There’s a few photos of him in the recap below.
Lots of fun was had, so take a look and read on about a great Halo weekend. Continue reading
Every so often I scour Pinterest for Halo art that I haven’t seen before. Today’s article brings 20 more such finds. If you didn’t know, HFFL does have it’s own Pinterest page where you can find the below art and MANY more. You can check the page HERE.
In the meantime, enjoy the gallery (click pics to see the full version). Continue reading
I found this on twitter via the 405th’s twitter feed. One of their members, GliderX, made this awesome Spartan DeMarco cosplay.
I’m totally jealous (in a good way). Man, if I had the height and slim body for cosplay like this, I’d TOTALLY do it.
Cosplay on this level takes a lot of work and dedication. Kudos to GliderX for an amazing DeMarco!
If you’re interested in cosplaying as a spartan, check out the 405th HERE.

It was an exciting week for Halo. Beyond all of the other stuff like the Sanctuary reveal, the Halo Channel reveal, people getting to play Halo 2 Anniversary campaign for the first time and so on, there was the matter of a Halo 2 Anniversary tournament. I covered the first two days of it a little. I would have covered the next two, however, the 2nd Annual HFFL LAN was going on and my attention was on that and being a good host to the folks who came to it. Continue reading
