Prince, they say the meek shall inherit the Earth. So today I want you to roll up a star of geeks. Don’t worry, it won’t be hard, PAX East has plenty of them in one place!

![[NEWS] HALOLZ is now LoLLoLZ!](http://www.halolz.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/halolz-lollolz-logo.jpg "[NEWS] HALOLZ is now LoLLoLZ!"){kind=logo}
Yes it’s true… after four years of providing you with quality video game humor at affordable prices (i.e. free), we’ve decided to make a change. And of course by “we” I mean “me,” because as you know with the burden of a loving family and a full time job selling t-shirts I have very little time to play video games these days.
However as some of you know one game has really captured my heart as of late, and that game is League of Legends. So in the spirit of embracing the only video game I have time for anymore, I’ve decided to narrow the scope of the site and focus completely on LoL themed submissions!
Of course I’m off at Anime Detroit right now, working hard, so it may take a little time for a full site conversion. But not to worry, within a few days that decrepit old Halolz site will be no more, and we’ll be running League of Legends humor full time!
And for those of you worried about not getting the jokes, you may want to just go ahead and start playing today… I mean it’s totally free to sign up and it’s a lot of fun!
So once you’ve figured out what the game is all about, be sure to send in all those great League submissions while I’m out of town! And I hope you all enjoy the new site as much as I do!

Last week I asked for your questions, and you gave ’em to me. This weekend we sat down and got those questions answered. Drop by The Bancast for a very special episode with Shawn Handyside, the creator of Halolz. Who knows, you might even be surprised.
And hey, do be sure to subscribe and rate The Bancast on iTunes. It really helps out.

Shawn Handyside is quite possibly the most illusive creature to have ever roamed the Earth. For years he has dodged your queries pertaining to all aspects of internet livelihood, but I, Fred “Trunks” Wood, have managed to tie him down for an hour so of intense, honest* questioning. Shawn will be on The Bancast on Thursday night for an hour or so, forced to answer select questions from you, the denizens of Halolz and by proxy, The Church of Falcon.
Send in your questions to the Almighty Ask Box and have them answered on tomorrow night’s show.
*Honest is a relative term. Any question Shawn answers to falsely will be considered “pretty honest, for Shawn.”

So yeah… for whatever reason, we had major problems moving the server to it’s new dedicated host. The short version is the site is too popular and therefore killing the hardware before it has a time to cache itself.
Anyway we’re back to the old server, and we’ll try again later after we run some more tests.
Sorry about being down all of Valentine’s Day! I will try to post all the great Valentiney things we got submitted before the end of tomorrow!

What, again? Yep!
Over the next 48 hours the site will be moving to a brand new, hopefully much faster, dedicated web server!
Hopefully we will not have any major technical problems with the move… but I guess we’ll see!
