    flinging birds at unstable buildings have never been so in-depth.

  2. Alpar on May 3rd, 2011 7:20 pm

    Let's see Bear Grylls tame THAT thing.

  3. Red on May 3rd, 2011 7:30 pm

    By drinking his own piss!

  4. Red on May 3rd, 2011 7:31 pm

    Also in that issue:
    A special report on the discovery of the wreckage of the S.S. Anne

  5. GameboyPATH on May 3rd, 2011 8:03 pm

    Either that bird has some really strong talons or it's filled with helium.

  6. AuraMaster on May 3rd, 2011 8:08 pm

    Very protective of its eggs, the Angry Bird will attack in bevies, sacrificing themselves to defeat their enemies.

  7. VaultLegend on May 3rd, 2011 8:28 pm

    The juvenile Angry Bird possess two strange appendages known as wings, which will be shed shortly after reaching adulthood. This molting allows for maximum sling-shot efficiency.

  8. Redzeroine on May 3rd, 2011 8:29 pm

    Also in that report:
    A mysterious pokemon without a number was reported to have destroyed the ship. Police are still looking for the pokemon with the missing nomber

  9. Nick Soapdish on May 3rd, 2011 8:29 pm

    The owner of the angry bird is rich. So god damn filthy rich.

  10. VaultLegend on May 3rd, 2011 8:31 pm

    I want this issue in print.

    Shawn, start a magazine please. I could be called, HALOLZ: THE MAGAZINE.

  16. KZN02 on May 3rd, 2011 8:42 pm

    Pics of other birds please?

  17. Red on May 3rd, 2011 8:47 pm

    I thought Team Rocket were the Terrorists! (It would explain the soldiers)

  18. Red on May 3rd, 2011 8:48 pm
  19. Armetron on May 3rd, 2011 8:52 pm

    The Angry Bird spends days, if not months collecting wood for the perfect slingshot before it can start laying its eggs.

  20. mikeorike on May 3rd, 2011 8:55 pm

    SHortly after taking these photos and sending them to NG, the photographer was attacked by a slew of angry birds and was left with high-speed projectile marks across his back, several bruises, many cuts, and…..burnt skin? The investigation continues.

  21. Azurik on May 3rd, 2011 8:55 pm

    The best part is that he spelled it right the first time.

  22. CriticalQuit on May 3rd, 2011 9:02 pm

    Bear Grylls is a failure at Jarate. He keeps drinking the piss instead of throwing it at Spies.

  23. CriticalQuit on May 3rd, 2011 9:03 pm

    Is there an evolutionary advantage to being incapable of flight and producing excess internal amounts of explosive, combustible gases? Read this month's issue for our answer: No.

  24. quaker171 on May 3rd, 2011 9:13 pm

    Indeed!

  25. quaker171 on May 3rd, 2011 9:14 pm

    Exactly! It may be a typo, but I recognize no typos!

  26. quaker171 on May 3rd, 2011 9:15 pm

    GRAMMAR HAMMER!
    *has, not have. You are saying that an act have been something. By that logic, "Painting have been fun" would be correct. Do you see your fault?

  28. quaker171 on May 3rd, 2011 9:17 pm

    Wow, that was so original. HALOLZINE?

  29. seanhl on May 3rd, 2011 9:25 pm

    It is quite hard to observe these strange creatures, every time scientists would try to take a sample of their eggs for testing, the flock would attack them in suicidal charges, scientists would strangely disappear if hit either by these birds, or by objects the birds would knock over onto them. The strangest of them was a white bird that would first lay an egg, then attack the scientists, seeming to defeat the purpose of retrieving its eggs in the first place.

    Also in that issue: Something about Aperture Science

    (Can't think, too much Nitrous Oxide in my system… thanks wisdom teeth)

  33. Pioneer1 on May 3rd, 2011 9:37 pm

    No, Team Rocket just steals Pokemon.

    It's Team Galactic that blows up things -- just look at what they did to the Lakes of Sinnoh!

    Good thing mountains can't be blown up as easily, right?

  34. Red on May 3rd, 2011 9:45 pm

  37. BasketGT on May 3rd, 2011 10:28 pm

    Why would you be called 'HALOLZ: THE MAGAZINE'?

  38. Shatman on May 3rd, 2011 11:21 pm

    This, oddly enough, is EXACTLY what an agitated cardinal looks like. I freaked one out in its enclosure while visiting the zoo.

  39. therandombear on May 3rd, 2011 11:27 pm

    F*ck the grammar hammer, english is not my native tongue.

    Have a nice day ;)

  40. Red on May 3rd, 2011 11:57 pm

    I agree, I see no failure in that
    let's celebrate by drinking more piss!

  41. Red on May 4th, 2011 12:36 am
  42. Red on May 4th, 2011 12:39 am

    I tried ever so hard, but could not find the image I wanted to post here.
    Just picture this: a tongue with a (stereotypical?) Native American head-piece.

    (The text would then read) So is this your native tongue?

  43. Red on May 4th, 2011 12:40 am

    because it'd be kinda funny, if you think about it

  44. Zyquux on May 4th, 2011 12:48 am

    *ALERT! BAD JOKE INCOMING! BRACE FOR IMPACT!*

    That would be 9.

  45. Zyquux on May 4th, 2011 12:51 am
  46. Zyquux on May 4th, 2011 12:56 am

    Team Rocket is the Mafia, Teams Magma and Aqua are eco-terrorists (or something like that), Team Galactic are just straight up terrorists, and (from what I gather from reading about them) Team Plasma are well-intentioned extremists.

  47. Zyquux on May 4th, 2011 1:00 am

    So it was literally an angry bird.

  48. Red on May 4th, 2011 1:02 am

    *pre-impact*
    Seatbelts, bah! Those things take more lives than they save
    *impact, flies through windshield*

  53. Rain on May 4th, 2011 2:29 am

    Rather than taming the bird, he might eat it raw

  54. Lucas of Twinleaf on May 4th, 2011 2:45 am

    O.o *I'm in trouble*

  55. Lucas of Twinleaf on May 4th, 2011 2:46 am

    You're still being bugged out by that thing?
    I heard that I could skip the gates somehow -- I tried that, but I ended up making the town a white void somehow.

  56. Lucas of Twinleaf on May 4th, 2011 2:47 am

    Hey, I thought I took 'em out ages ago! HOW could they still be going on with plans…?
    Edit: I've heard in the Unova Region they get these Pokemon named Excadrill and they just absolutely tear down a mountain using a special move. I heard it was called "Bulldoze". I'm travelling there to get one myself!

  57. Lucas of Twinleaf on May 4th, 2011 2:48 am

    Fun fact:
    What came to mind when I found out about Team Plasma's motives in Pokemon Black/White, one of Halolz's posts came to mind (SAY NO TO SILPH CO.) which, now that I think about it, could have been in mind of the creator at the time.

    ok, that submission officially needs moar plasma

  60. strayjohno on May 4th, 2011 4:12 am

    This is the order from best to worst. Black -- White -- Blue -- Yellow -- Red -- A barely contained fart -- Green

    Seriously. How can black be so unbelievable awesome, while the green sucks so hard? My theory: the green one is a pig in disguise is deliberately being really fsking useless.

  61. Dimomarg on May 4th, 2011 4:40 am

    FOR SCIENCE!

    and bird launching.

  62. CriticalQuit on May 4th, 2011 5:59 am

    Birds are notoriously light, they have hollow bones. It's why they're so suited for natural flight. They do have strong talons as well, though.

  63. razorman715 on May 4th, 2011 8:56 am

    I meant it, not i. Damn thing wont let me edit it now.

  66. TheUnknownNoob on May 4th, 2011 11:18 am

    I'll be honest here, we're just throwing birds at the wall and seeing what sticks.

  67. TheUnknownNoob on May 4th, 2011 11:35 am

    Cave Johnson here.

    Fact: birds are made of explosives and hate pigs.

    Solution: we throw birds at pigs. Not really sure what we'll accomplish, but that's science.

    Cave Johnson. We're done here.

  68. MokubaKaiba on May 4th, 2011 12:15 pm

    Worried some guy is gonna fire a laser into it and blow it up? Please! A thermal exhaust port would be about… 2 meters around? What pilot would be able to shoot something into there? Trust me. You'll be fine without covering it up.

    It's in the Unova Region, you've probably never heard of it

    Damnit. Steven left it as a Steel-type villa when I got it. Made the whole place very lustrous, but you found its weakness.

  113. ProfessorLuigi on May 5th, 2011 1:25 pm

    Cave Johnson here.
    Due to an accident involving mantis DNA and pigs, we have created a new species of green pigs. Fortunately, here at Apeture science, we know you have to fight fire, with birds. Introducing the Angry bird. Each bird contains a skeleten stronger than steel thanks to genetic engineering.They come in 7 different colors, each for breaking down or blowing up different buildings and different pigs.
    Just load 'em up into a sling shot, and *BAM*.
    Works every time.

    Cave Johnson, we're done here.

  114. Pioneer1 on May 5th, 2011 3:29 pm

    I believe, then, that you are obligated to supply it
