**New Tournament (and it's Free to Play!)** The Hunter: Catch All
6th, 7th, 8th, 9th? Semi-Tri-Quad-Annual Gamers With Jobs Mule Buck Tournament 
Tournament starts Friday night, January 27th at 9:00pm EST and ends Monday, February 12th at 12:00pm (noon) EST.
The only requirement for entry is that you post your buck stats in the standard fashion. (we're doing bucks since it's the free option: if you all want to hunt something else, go for it - I'll keep track of all stats)
Example:
Mule deer (M)
Score: 90.000
Weight: 94.632 kg (208.6 lbs)
Time of Harvest: Jan 28 2012 12:06
Shots Hit: 2
Shot Distance: 1.580 m (5.2 ft) — 31.250 m (102.5 ft)
Weapons Used: .243 Bolt Action Rifle (Wood)
For your entry to count it needs to be a buck and in the time frame listed above.
Prizes:
Biggest rack score: $10 Amazon.com Gift Card
Longest range buck kill: $10 Amazon.com Gift Card donated by Rabbit
Biggest (by weight) buck: $10 Amazon.com Gift Card or this sweet rifle medal (winner's choice) donated by Montalban
Rules:
- Only one winner per category and you can't win more than one category. If you win more than one category, the hierarchy of awards is: 1. Rack Size, 2. Distance, 3. Weight. This means that when you win one category, you cannot win any category below. Your entry in the lower category will be considered null and the award will go to the next participant.
- If there's a tie, we'll go by time of kill (earlier kill wins).
- If more than one shot is taken, the shortest shot counts as the distance entry.
- Female Mule deer and Whitetail can be posted, but their kill stats will not be used (though kill distance will be noted in parentheses).

I'll definitely check it out. I've seen a ton of different cheap-o hunting games marketed at people who don't play other video games. It sounds like this one's of higher quality and I've never experienced the realistic hunting gameplay style.

Sounds interesting. I think I'll try this one out over the weekend.

Free is good! I think I'm going to check this out, I'm a total sucker for methodical stalking games.
I heard that they were keeping Elysium in the ICU not because he needed intensive care, but because they needed to be careful of his intensity. - Wordsmythe
This is apparently developed by Avalanche (Just Cause) and is most likely running in the same engine, so I would expect a very high level of polish.
I really liked Just Cause, so what the hell, I'll check it out.

Here's a quick trailer of some of the game. As it says at the end, this is all in real time.

Once you get past the less-than-desirable looking website, the game will surprise you. As they say, don't judge a book by its front cover!

Wow the graphics look great! I'll definitely be checking it out later.

The character creation is fun. I picked the most foppish-looking dude I could find. I wanted to give him a vaguely offensive sounding name, but the game helpfully generated "Lyle Burgos" for me, which sounds like a character from Achewood.
I don't know how the friends system works, but if you guys figure it out before I do my nick is Podunk.
edit: also, their servers must be getting slammed. This download is agonizingly slow.

Like I said, the website is terrible and the character generator is pulling CGI photos from the FBI pedophile server.
The game gave me the name 'Roosevelt Cordero', which I immediately accepted. My gaming handle is Roozey and I'll add you later. Let me know what you think of the game.
Also, the download is only like 300MB, so it's not too bad.

Haha, I suppose it's all relative. I think it took about 25 min for me.
Trust me though, it's worth the wait.

Time *is* money to a guy like me.
A friend of a friend's name is 'Jesus Gore'. Whomever was in charge of the name generator deserves a medal of some sort.

The game looks very well done. Strangely, I find myself wishing it were a realistic sniper sim rather than a hunting sim.
I thought the same thing as I was playing. Someone needs to clone this and put it in the new Modern Warfare or something. Human prey would be a bit more fun.

I've been pulling this down for a while too. I've seen the speed spike as high as 20Kib/sec, but usually it's less than one. Reminds me of the Steam during the UT3 sale a few weeks ago.
I'm eager to try it out if it ever downloads.

The downloader is some kind of P2P thing. It seems to go a little faster if you cap the upload rate to something reasonable. It keeps it from tying up your connection as much as well.
WHAT
edit: Friend requests sent to everyone so far. Podunk, I laughed HARD at your guy's photo.

Winner. Go to the settings and throttle the upload, makes a big difference.

It makes a different but this thing is still downloading at a snails pace. At present, my wait appears to be about 2 days. Haven't had to wait that long for a game to download since 1996.
