Don't Be An April Fool

I’m off in Seattle doing the con thing right now, so I couldn’t do one of those crazy April Fool’s site reskins! But really the April Fool’s stuff on the internet is getting a little overkill anyway, right? I mean you can’t believe anything you read online today! Take this comic by Dorkly for example!

I was half expecting a Halo post. Imagine that, a Halo caption on Halolz, what an absurd notion.

This is still just Halolz? I'm a bit disappointed, Shawn.

I think I need to get new glasses. All I see are Alpar. My vision must be getting worse.

I'd also be remiss if I didn't link this masterpiece.

Episode Three, after 10,000 years in development, is dead. What's not to like?

In true Halolz fashion, I've managed to find an old friend later than relevant. Come on out. Don't be shy.

Also, we didn't get an official HL3 announcement for April Fools.

But we did get an official "Telltale poker game staring Brock Samson, Sam, Claptrap and Ash Wlliams" announcement.

I was sick all day on April 1st. I stayed away from the internet because all I wanted to do was sleep. It was a close call. I almost missed being Alpar. Imagine missing a Halolz high holiday like this.

Hello, future Halolz travelers! Welcome to the comment section of this submission!
To add clarity to the shit you're about to read, here's what happened.

On April 1st, most users celebrated "Alpar Fools Day," where there changed their names and avatars to various versions of famed monocled, Christian otaku user, Alpar. Many Alpar jokes ensued; it was like that trippy restaurant sequence from "Being John Malkovich," but with less tits.

Except for your humble narrator, who changed his name and avatar to Halolz founder Shawn Handyside to see how long he could get away with it. Surprisingly, long enough.

Have fun, and enjoy you future. For now, at least: your robot overlord is coming and he isn't happy that you're hacking a terminal for ancient video game lolz..... so get back to work, flesh slave!
