Cyberline Films continues their ‘My Halo Life’ series of montages with Episode 3 – lots of snipes, sticks, and splatters. Go watch. Thanks, urk. (Louis Wu 17:38:34 UTC)

Eep – almost forgot. Rooster Teeth posted a new PSA, in honor of their 6th birthday; the crew discusses the absurd amount of time fans have played around on the RT website. Go watch – it’ll make you laugh! (Louis Wu 14:25:53 UTC)

Thanks to Gilver, who noticed that the Halo 3 episode of WCG Ultimate Gamer (we’ve mentioned the series a few times – 1 | 2 | 3 | 4) will air this coming Tuesday, April 7, at 10 E/P. Don’t forget to watch! (Louis Wu 14:19:40 UTC)

Bryan Simon retired from Halo songwriting… but he felt like he couldn’t skip a Walshy song in his tributes to pro Halo players. Check this baby out (sung to the tune of ‘Hey There Delilah’ by the Plain White T’s) – or just grab the MP3 from us (2.3 mb).(Louis Wu 14:14:48 UTC)

Treeskunk’s Paul Shelley wants to wish you… a Merry Christmas? (I think this was for yesterday, but we didn’t get mail about it until today.)(Louis Wu 14:14:02 UTC)

In the parts of the world where time is described using UTC (like, say, HBO-land), it is now past midnight on April 2… and our April Fools joke can be retired. We hope you enjoyed it. If you missed any of Bungie’s B.U.N.G.L.E. stories, here are links: Introducing B.U.N.G.L.E. | B.U.N.G.L.E. Map Guide | 7 Pillars of B.U.N.G.L.E. (If Bungie removes these for any reason, we’ll put up local mirrors, because they’re funny.) If you don’t have a Mythic Map Code, the USA Today story we posted is, indeed, real, and you’ve got until 9 am tomorrow morning to register to win one of the 50 codes they’re giving away. Otherwise… enjoy your (sane-again) HBO!(Louis Wu 00:37:19 UTC)
