Well here it is guys the last HPAW of February. We have our Halo 2 tournament winners, Team AoNo as guests and we play Crackdown for the Xbox 360. We hope you enjoy it.

Thats right everyone the winner of this weeks poll is a forum and that is exactly what you guys get. The chatbox will remain but it would be better if that was used for social talk and well chating only while everyone thing else gets moved to the HPAW forum.

Please feel free to head there right now as it is located at http://hpaw.net/forum but please note it is still slightly under construction but for the most part it is done. A more permanent link to the forums is located under the HPAW category on on side bar.

In other news there will be a HPAW episode today in which will be be showing Crackdown.

Hey guys I was taking some screenshots from within Supreme Commander for the PC today and thought I should share them with you guys.

Well guys once again there is no HPAW this week but we do have a video for you. Remember that Ar4wy guy who brought you Console Wars?(This was made before Console Wars) Well we is also working on a sitcom called Welcome to my World (WtmW) and I am proud to show you guys the pilot episode.

So how does this link to HPAW? Well for starters Ar4wy has been on HPAW before (Super Smash Bros. Melee). Also our very own Nw Striker is a cast member of the show. The primary setting for the show is the high school that we all attend so enjoy it and welcome to our world.

Thanks goes to Ar4wy Inc. and the cast and crew of WtmW for the creation of this video.

Here is the video of all the matches in the Halo 2 Tournament with Mempf and Nw Striker commentating.

I would like to congratulate team Always Outnumbered, Never Outguned on winning the Halo 2 Tournament.

They had a very close final round with team EC FTW which went on for several matches.

You can visit AoNo at their website.

I will be posted a video with the highlights in the coming few days.

I would like to thank everyone who participated on a very good tournament.

This a reminder of the upcoming Halo 2 tournament hosted by HPAW tomorrow Saturday February 10th.

The starting time is 10:30AM PST (if you need to know what that is in your local time zone please use Google to find out).

It is required that all participants have their Xboxs on and ready to accept game invites from “Ellite Striker” (please add him to your friends list if you have not done so yet).
If possible it would be advised that you also come to the HPAW homepage as the live chat will be used for tournament announcements such as whose match is up but if this is not possible just be on Xbox live ready to go.

Pleas note that if “Ellite Striker” does not get a friend request before the tournament starts he will send one to you so please accept it if you failed to add him.

Please be aware if we have all 9 teams show up there will be a free for all match with ONE person from each team. The person that scores the lowest will have his team eliminated.

THE FOLLOWING IS VERY IMPORTANT!!!!!

At least 15 min before 10:30AM PST please email me at mempf.com@gmail.com saying whether or not your team is ready!!!! If you do not do this it will be assumed you are forfeiting the match however we will still try to invite you to your match anyway but there will be little tolerance at that point so PLEASE email me conforming your team is coming.

Well here it is the first HPAW episode of February and we play Super Mario World and Call of Duty 3 on the Wii.

Remember to add “Ellite Striker” to your Xbox Live friends list if you are in the tournament.

The final bracket has now been posted so please check it so find out what teams will be fighting which teams in round one.

Here is the important information that ALL combatants must read:

EVERYONE MUST ADD “Ellite Striker” TO THEIR FRIENDS LISTS
This is because on February 10th (tournament day) Nw Striker AKA Ellite Striker will be inviting people into games.

Basically everyone participating will come on February 10th at 10:30AM to this site with their Xboxs ON and ready to accept an invite into your Halo 2 match. Matches will be handled one at a time so people further down on the bracket will have a later match. The site chat box will be restricted to tournament chat ONLY during the tournament.

If you have any questions please leave a comment and we will answer it when we can.

Well here it is, multiple days in the making and kept secret from you all is the first ever making of HPAW documentary.

We cover everything we do to make HPAW: before HPAW, during HPAW and after HPAW. I hope you all enjoy it as we all (mainly Dark Elf and I) worked very hard on it.

Make sure you watch it to the last second!
