HFFL logo LANstravaganza

Mark your calendars folks, HFFL will be having it’s third annual LAN Party on August 15.

I’ll have more details as we get closer to the date.

What details I can give you right now are that it will be held at GameOn in the North Hills of Pittsburgh. This is where I had the first LAN. There will be a small admission charge. Not sure how much yet. Will post that as soon as I know.

The LAN will run for 8 hours minimum. Again hours of which to be determined.

We’ll have the usual HFFL FFA Tournament. Possibly a 4v4 is there are enough teams.

Stay tuned for more info soon! In the meantime, if you have any questions, please feel free to reply here or e-mail me at slashalofanforlife.com. If you’re coming by plane or long distance by car, I can get really good rates through one of my local buds/HFFL reader.

While the LAN itself will be on a Saturday, I have plans for Friday night and Sunday as well. So it’s not just a one-day thing. Though of course you are welcome to come to just the LAN if you wish.

Hello, fiction folks! Thanks for stopping by to spend some weekly eyeball time with us. While E3’s train finally pulled into the station to allow us all a few moments of respite, there is scant time to linger, as the march towards October rolls on and will be filled with scattered nuggets of hypey goodness for fans to sink their eager teeth into. In case you missed it, last week we took a closer look at the newly introduced Armiger constructs, variants of which are seen not just in the recently released Halo: Hunters in the Dark, but also in the campaign and Warzone footage for Halo 5: Guardians, where you seem them more colloquially coined “Soldiers.” This week, we’ll actually take a peek at some of the fictional setting behind the new Warzone mode, giving your minds an idea about how it fits into the overall Halo setting.

Season 2 of the Halo Championship Series is nearing its conclusion, and we’ve got just one more LAN tournament in regular season play! HCS Indianapolis is this weekend and not only will teams be fighting for their share of $50,000, but they’ll also be fighting for their spot in the Season 2 Finals next month at the HCS Season 2 Finals by ESL in Burbank, California. Taking a look at the current standings, Evil Geniuses has continued their domination, winning six out of the eight total tournaments this season. They certainly seem to be the favorites going into the tournament, but hot on their heels are Denial and Winterfox – both of whom are hungry for victory. This will also be the first HCS LAN tournament in which the legendary esports organization Team Liquid makes their appearance. Lead by Tyler “Ninja” Blevins, Team Liquid will be looking to solidify their place in the Season 2 Finals. Continue reading →
