Grifball is the world’s greatest sports-game-within-a-first-person-shooter, originally created by Rooster Teeth’s Burnie Burns. RTX is the annual Rooster Teeth Expo, a celebration of Rooster Teeth, their fans, and their creations. It’s the perfect match!

• A Grifball panel on Sunday, July 7 at 11:30AM where GrifballHub staff will be discussing the Sport of the Future, showing off the newest highlight reel, and answering attendee questions.
• Two LAN Grifball tournaments on the “Center Stage”, the e-Sports arena built for attendees and viewers at home to watch top gaming action.

Waypoint Weekly Test Nights: 6.26.13
From AgentPaperCraft:
Hello, Waypoint goers! With the addition of community-made content into Matchmaking, custom maps and game types have become an integral part of Halo’s Multiplayer. Forgers and game type creators often work hours, days and even months on their content before it’s considered for Matchmaking, and it’s usually the lack of having a ready player-base to test their maps that it takes so long. So I offer an option to our Forgers, a place to bring your maps and game types to have them tested and reviewed by a group of the top Forgers around. You’ll receive top-notch forging tips and tricks to wow your players, improve map spawn and flow, provide a better map experience and get your name out there. You’ll also get to work directly with the Community Cartographers, a select group of community Forge enthusiasts who work with 343 Industries in the search of top-quality content for Matchmaking consideration. Every Wednesday night at 6PM ET, get an invite by sending “AgentPaperCraft” a message over Xbox LIVE, or leave a comment in the Test Night Thread.
Hope to see you there!

Clarification from MS about upcoming Halo content
Last Spartan pointed us to an article at IGN in which Phil Spencer (MGS VP) discusses the E3 trailer shown at the Microsoft Press Conference, as well as plans for Halo 2 Anniversary. (Quick summary: the trailer wasn’t showing off the next title, but rather was laying out some ground rules for ALL future titles… and while Spencer didn’t confirm Halo 2 Anniversary, he didn’t reject it, either.) Read the full article for more details! (Louis Wu 14:22:04 UTC)

The Rooster Teeth website has had some hiccups in the last couple of days, but they’re firing on all cylinders right now, which is good, because Red vs Blue Season 11, Episode 2 was released last night. Both teams do their best to settle into new routines while they wait for rescue. Which will be the first to implode? You’ll have to watch!(Louis Wu 13:52:47 UTC)

The Dead Serious Tage 2: Vol.1
RVideo sent us yet another Halo montage – this one is called ‘The Dead Serious Tage 2: Vol. 1‘, was put together by SirTopEmHat, and weighs in at nearly 20 minutes. It’s not quite that… the first three and a half minutes are intro, and the last two and a half minutes are credits, and the whole thing is really entertainingly filmed. It’s all Halo 4 footage, and it’s an enjoyable watch – go check it out!(Louis Wu 20:59:17 UTC)
