Posted on by

Ladies (and maybe some gentlemen) check out this pretty cool Halo Master Chief Clutch!

Halo MC Clutch Closed Halo MC Clutch openThis will cost you $33 (not including shipping from FUN.com. It may be available elsewhere, but this is where I saw it first.

If any of you get this, please shoot me some pics and send them to slashalofanforlife.com and I’ll feature them on the sight, so fellow fans can see this ‘In Real Life’ as opposed to just on an ad page on the net.

(If this were wallet size for a guy, I’d think about getting it. I’m not into purses though, LOL)

 

I’m back (with an explanation)

Wow, it’s been nearly a month since a post has been put up. There are reasons for that though.

It started off with me downloading an update for WordPress. Along with that, I had been looking into changing a little bit of the look to the blog. That required me changing some code…. That is where things went wrong….

The update for one really slowed things down for me on the backend of the site. It was taking forever to upload graphics for example.

The big issue came though when I went to change just a few lines of code. I thought I had the right code and in the right place. Nope…. This in effect not only halted me being able to post, but actually shut me out of my site for about 2 weeks. I tried desperately to get help from WordPress and was given so many different answers that I didn’t know which was right or not.

I called up my hosting service and after talking with 6 people finally found someone who was versed in WordPress. He was able to help me get back into my site. For those of you following me on Twitter, you may have seen my post that said blogging would be back to normal. Well, I thought it would have been then… That didn’t happen as planned. I still needed to fix coding. Yikes, this got very frustrating.

Thankfully, over the weekend, I finally got things straight. Had another update to do and was a bit apprehensive about doing that, but I did. So now things are working and I can post again.

My sincere apologies for those of you who look to HFFL for your Halo news. One lesson I’ve learned is to NOT change code.

Anyway, now that things are good, I’m going to be playing catch up for the last month’s worth of Halo news. So forgive me if you’ve already read those bits of news elsewhere.

Sincerely,
Sal

Now that we are past Christmas, I’ll be reviewing the Halo related stuff I got. These will include:

• Halo Mega Bloks
• Jakks Pacific Master Chief
• Sandboxr 3D Printed Spartans
• Boomco Halo dart guns

On that note, if YOU received Halo related gifts, please feel free to send me pics at sal@halofanforlife.com. I’ll post those here on the blog to show what other fans what you folks received for the holidays.

As well, now that Forge has been out for a little bit, I’m going to post a series of tutorial videos from ForgeHub. I’ve dabbled in Halo 5’s Forge myself and will give a some text commentary after each video.

Festive greetings, fiction fans! Today will be brief so let’s get right to it. Last week we announced our upcoming narrative guide, Halo Mythos: A Guide to the Story of Halo, coming in 2016 from our friends and partners at Egmont Publishing. We’re incredibly pleased with the level of excitement the lore community has shown for the possibilities within the book, and we can’t wait to get it in your hands next fall.

If you recall, last week I also said that I wasn’t sure if we’d have a normal issue come out today. What can I say, Halo community, I just can’t quit you. In fact, I figured that while I’m down in sunny Florida celebrating Christmas with the rest of the Grim clan, it was only logical that we give the lore legion a small gift of their own – one that’s been on many of your wish lists for Story Claus. So today we’ll be taking a quick look at the new alien ships seen in Halo 5: Guardians. Let’s get to unwrapping! Continue reading →

A VERY Merry Christmas from HaloFanForLife.com to YOU!

This is my first go at making something in Halo 5’s Forge. Given the time of the year, I thought it only appropriate to make a Christmas tree. I used several effects here to make offset blinking lights. Signs and radar dishes filled in for ornaments. Both a Covie and regular fire at the top in place of a star. (There actually IS a star at the top, but it’s too small to see in the pics and vid.

Halo World Championship North American Qualifier results

Well, as if we didn’t know the outcome already, Evil Geniuses takes another tournament. The are unstoppable. Here is the bracket for the final eight.

HCS NA qual 2016Too bad this wasn’t a double elimination. I’d have liked to have seen CLG get another shot at moving up.

I really want to get into Halo eSports more, but with ONE team dominating like this, it’s actually a bit boring to me. Not hating on EG, I just always like to see underdogs pull off the seemingly impossible.
