Podtacular 343: Evolution of Grifball

Posted on February 3, 2013 by Dust Storm

An iconic episode is upon us as we reach our 343rd episode of Podtacular and how ironic that we cover the staple sport of Halo: Grifball! As most of you are aware, Grifball is not your run-of-the-mill custom; it’s an all out way of life for some Spartans. We mentioned briefly on our last show some of the history of the origins of Grifball, but now it’s time to pull back the curtains on how Grifball has evolved from it’s idea in Red vs. Blue to the fully fledged gametype we now have in Halo 4. Our special guest SquirrelBurrito from the National Grifball Association helps give us the rundown behind this epic sport. Enjoy
