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
First let me open up the article by saying, my wife is a true dear. She ordered half of these sets for me from Toys R Us. The other half were found on Friday night with my bud and fellow HFFL gaming group member Dijabouti. (And of course my wife paid for those too.) 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

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!
