One thing video games are good at is bringing people together, even if they are hundreds of miles away. Halo, on the other hand, not only does this well, but provides a vast variety of ways to enjoy the game, which leads to many different kinds of communities. In this episode, two other great communities are represented: Grifball Hub and Halo Waypoint. We are joined by community leaders Goosechecka and Pup from the Hub, and Rukizzel from Waypoint. Enjoy
