For those who live in the UK, my friend, Simon Richard is once again hosting his annual BloksFest. This started out to be only for Halo Mega Bloks, but this year has expanded to include other Mega Bloks lines like CoD and Assassin’s Creed. (Though the frontrunner is still very much Halo)
Here is some text from there site talking about the convention: Continue reading
Yesterday I got word of this through my good friends at Podcast Unlocked.
For now the game will be beta tested only in Russia. Why Russia? Anyway…
Here is the original Russian trailer for it followed by a neat super bounce vid on the Turf remake map, then followed by IGN’s ‘Rewind Theater” of the Russian trailer, detailing some cool bits and easter eggs. Continue reading
So for the past few months, I’ve been helping with a fellow Halo fan’s project. This project is a black and white Halo comic book.
I should have posted this yesterday but got way to busy to get to it.
SPOILERS BELOW You have been warned.
Sprukits have been out for a little while. I just haven’t had the extra funds to get them. In fact I still don’t. However, when I went to New York Toy Fair, I talked with all of the manufacturers that had a license to make Halo toys and collectibles. BanDai is one of those. I won’t mention who I talked to so as to keep them from getting unwanted solicitations for these sets. Anyway… After New York Toy Fair, I was contacted by the person at BanDai. We exchanged pleasantries and reminisced about Toy Fair a little. They they did something incredibly generous. They ask for my address and said they wanted to send me some sets. I graciously accepted their offer.
There are four sets at retail currently. At level 2 there are Master Chief, Spartan Thorne, and Commander Palmer. There is a level 3 Master Chief as well. When the person said they would send sets, I thought, well, maybe I’ll get two of them since it was plural. It wouldn’t have mattered which I would have received. I would have been thankful for any. However, when I got the box from BanDai, it included one each of all four sets! As well, they included a Sprukits T-shirt! I was a bit gobsmacked by their generosity.
This review is the first of the four that I’ll be putting out over the next week and a half. In particular, this is the level 2 Master Chief. It’s the smaller of the two Master Chief Sprukit models.
Okay, without further ado, let’s get to the review. Continue reading

The following is a partial re-blog from IGN.com:
Halo 5: Guardians is getting a live-action trailer set to reveal a glimpse of the game’s story on March 29.
Microsoft has revealed the trailer will be watchable online, and is set to build on the other elements of the marketing campaign we’ve seen so far.
The new trailer promises to show “both sides of the story”.
In other recent Halo news, the studio head for Halo 5: Guardians, Josh Holmes, revealed last week that the title will have only have dedicated servers for multiplayer, adding “That’s true for matchmaking AND customs. There is no P2P.”
HFFL: Well things are definitely getting exciting. I hope there is news soon of the live action TV show also.
Thanks to my bud Isaiah for the Intel on this.
Finally something new regarding Halo 5 Guardians has been revealed! Check out the below for the first in a series of clips from ‘reporter’ Benjamin Giraud, on his hunt for the truth about who the Master Chief is, where he came from, what he is now, and where he may have gone. Continue reading
