Grifball Signups!

Posted on November 23, 2012 by Dust Storm

This is a little late (kinda slipped my inbox), but registrations are still open if you have a team.

Registration for the very first ever Halo 4 Grifball league is now open!

Whether you’re new to the sport or a hammer-hardened veteran, GrifballHub’s Good Games League is your place for organized Halo 4 Grifball action. For new players, we have the Classic Division which features the standard two games per week on the night and time of your choice. For more experienced teams, there’s the Veteran Division which has stricter scheduling and more games per week. The Veteran division is completely voluntary, though. In addition, we’ve brought back Achieveables – Grifball in-game achievements which earn your team GrifPoints and a change at the playoffs regardless of your game record. We’ve also introduced team pages to make it easier for teams to contact one another and maintain rosters.

All of the details can be viewed here.

Questions? Comments? Let us know! You can contact us on Twitter @GrifballHub or through our Contact Page.

See you on the court!

Pardon Our Dust

Posted on November 19, 2012 by Dust Storm

You all may have noticed that we’re not running exactly at full speed. There have been some issues with the hardware our hosting service is using that we are hosted on, which has caused some downtime last night, and inevitably, some missing content. The latest podcast has been restored, but the homepage side of things will be a little slow until hosting services are fully restored. Please be patient as we wait for our hosting to be fully restored.

Podtacular 330: Forward Unto Dawn – Episode 5

Posted on November 5, 2012 by Dust Storm

In the final installment of Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn, Lasky, Chief and the rest of the cadets are making their way to the extraction point. It doesn’t take long for the Covenant to catch up and set up an ambush for the squat. As chief mans the turret and Silva and Orensky take out the Jackals with precision aim, Lasky is doing his best to drive the Warthog, until smashing into a Jackal and stalling the Warthog. It doesn’t take long for the main force of the Covenant to retreat and send in Hunters. While Chief takes care of the Hunter, the rest of the cadets make it to one of the training bunkers in the woods, where Silva meets her fate from being mortally wounded from a needle rifle round. At this point, Lasky has lost just about everything, and when Chief comes to pick them up after he takes care of the Hunter, he sees what Lasky is facing and say, “I’m sorry,” to Lasky, showing some humanity to this cyborg. They run from the other Hunter where Lasky eventually volunteers to be a decoy for Chief to take out the Hunter with only one remaining grenade. After the Hunter is taken out, Chief calls in the rescue Pelican, and they all get off the planet. Enjoy

Halo 4 is Among Us

Posted on November 5, 2012 by Dust Storm

For those over in Australia and Europe, we hope you’re having fun from those of us in the states. For those riding along side with the rest of us, Halo 4 is nearly here! If you live in or around the Prince George area in Maryland, I will be at my local GameStop at the Beltway Plaza (Store #685). If you have a chance to drop by, we will be talking to people and giving a few things away starting at 9:30PM. For the multitude of the rest, don’t worry, we will be giving away stuff throughout the day tomorrow. I will also be streaming my run-through of Heroic Campaign tonight if you manage to sneak a break from playing yourselves.

Also, if you are old enough, remember to take the time to vote. #EVILAWAKENS
