This past weekend was the 2nd Annual HFFL LANstravaganza. On Sunday, those who were staying over joined in with me as we talked about the Halo Channel, Gamescom Sanctuary reveal, and of course the festivities of the LAN itself. Continue reading
This year’s Annual HFFL LANstravaganza is complete. I stepped away from blogging and nearly all of social media from Friday to Monday morning. This, so that I could ensure I was a good and attentive host to my guests from all over the country. We actually had MORE people from out of state this year than local folks. That’s pretty darn cool, if you ask me. (Even if you didn’t, I just told you so, LOL)
This weary Spartan needs to clean up the house, catch up all the Gamescom events as well as al the social media missed.
I’ll have several Mega Bloks reviews coming this week as well. And as always, fresh Halo news! Of course I’ll have a complete recap of the events in a few days.
Stay tuned though folks, as I’ll be having Halo trivia questions for prizes leading up to HFFL’s 3rd anniversary as a blog on September 23rd!
