Hello again folks. Just wanted to give out a reminder of the HFFL Charity and LAN fundraiser.
We’ve stalled at $400. The goal is $2,000 and time is running short. The 2nd annual HFFL LANstravaganza is on AUG 16. That is also the last day for fundraising for this charity. Continue reading
Every so often I find images on the web or on Pinterest specifically that are Halo related. Today’s pins are with one exception all created by ‘grandbigbird’
Let’s start with the exception first, then move on to ‘grandbigbird’. Continue reading
Marty O’Donnell, THE MAN, when it comes to Halo music put out a remixed track Covenant Dance. The track is really futuristic in sound and could be a dance hall tune. (Well, except for the occasional announcer voice saying medals and such during the track.) LOL
Feel free to listen to it here:
or download it here:

Enjoy and let me know what you think of this remix.

Normally I don’t like to post MODDED content. However, when it’s stuff like this that doesn’t affect matchmaking and is just for fun, I’m happy to oblige.
I did not create this. I have no clue how to mod.
This does make me wonder…if someone outside of Microsoft/Bungie/343 can mod the code to do this, why can’t we have it like this in the actual game?
I’d LOVE to be able to set up custom Firefight modes with whatever AI I’d want to use.
It’s unlikely that it will be in Halo 5 Guardians, but one can only hope.
Thanks to HaloBungie.org for tweeting this out.

Here’s the twitch stream from last night’s HFFL/Podcast Evolved mixed Community Night.
Kennigma was to be the other guest host on the podcast, but couldn’t make it. Though she did make it for the game night portion and streamed it, thankfully for us.
Below is the link to the full 2+ hour gaming session that she was in on (though it lasted for several more hours after that). Continue reading
The following ‘vid’ is audio only, though it contains the full 1:30 minute of the cast.

Lots of fun and interrupting ensued!
I’ll have the download link shortly if you want to listen to it later.
Enjoy!

There are only three weeks between E3 and the Rooster Teeth Expo, which means we always have to do a bit of hustlin’ (no, not that type of hustlin’) to get ready to come and see everyone in Austin. This year, we grabbed designers, producers, a Hoberman and threw them onto a panel, grabbed some in-house professional Halo players and threw ‘em on a truck with original Xbox consoles and TVs, brought Halo: The Master Chief Collection (for your eyes only), and we flew down some exclusive gear. A few weeks later, we were in Austin and ready to party with all of you.
I will be a special guest on Podcast Evolved tomorrow. They stream live starting at 6pm. twitch.tv/podcast_evolved.
Right after the podcast, we’ll be going into Halo 4. Podcast Evolved will bring their folks and I hope that some of you folks will join in with me so that we can have a good turnout for a mixed community night. We’ll likely play a few games against each other’s communities, then mix the teams up with some from each group on each team.
HFFL Community night starts at 8pm and will continue on until Midnight EST.
If you want to join in on the fun, message me on XBOX Live at GT= HaloFanForLife1
I hope to see you there!

In the article, I’m going to take a closer look at what is being seen and happening in the new Terminal trailer, released just a few days ago.
First though, here’s the trailer again, in case you haven’t seen it, or want a refresher:
Yesterday I found out about this forge map. The aesthetic is pretty cool. I along with several of my gaming buds played on it last night.
