Looks like RT mentioned it first in the HBO forum, and of course it’s been picked up by HBO itself, Major Nelson, Xbox 360 Fanboy, GameSpot and the horse’s mouth: Bungie.net.

    Simpsons Rule posted a music video set to the Offspring’s ‘Why Don’t You Get a Job’ – it uses Halo and Halo 2 cutscenes to tell a story. General consensus (which I agree with) is that the Halo parts are better – but it’s a fun movie in its entirety. Grab a copy! (It’s about…
