There's lots of hunting simulators out there. Sometimes they're very serious, like TheHunter, which has often been criticized for making the simple act of finding a deer almost impossible for new players. There are some more arcadey titles, too, like the Deer Hunter series--one of which even had a multiplayer mode where you played as deer running away from hunters! Cabela's titles have always been more in this vein, but they seemed to at least try to keep some of the spirit of hunting in real life, either through using real world weaponry and settings, or by rewarding you for proper technique. But also, there's Dangerous Hunts:  The Dangerous Hunts games are about a man who must kill every animal before they kill him. Sometimes he learns about family too or something like that, whatever. The previous game, Dangerous Hunts 2011, was an outright horror game, but this one is more of a Call of Duty with hyenas, so expect turret sections, leveled perks, and terrible dialog written by "the writer of Fringe!!" (who, in real life, was a guy who wrote two episodes of Fringe and then quit). Joining me will be a rotating range of people as we massacre the endangered list in the name of conservation. Stick around! Videos: Part 1: Bear With Me Part 2: Bonobon Voyage Part 3: Snake in the Grass Part 4: A Magickal Lion Bonus: NGDBSS pays a visit to a Cabela's. Lots of pictures! corn in the bible fucked around with this message at 16:54 on Sep 6, 2018 |

Oh man I remember SelenicMartian's LP of this and your own LP of Dangerous Hunts 2007. I trust you'll give it exactly the treatment it deserves.

Oh no, the father apparently died of a heart attack when he shot that bear! Is there a reason there's not a drop of blood in this otherwise incredibly violent game?

So is Cabela's brand a Japanese company? Because this feels like a very, very Japanese idea of what American big game hunting is like.

Cabela's is an American company. A thoroughly silly one at times, but definitely based here. I remember the first time I went to one with my father on a lark*, and he commented that the place was like a casino. Anything you could want, they were trying to cater to. *This was on the way home after some weekend trip. Nowadays they've built one local to me, so it's less "that ridiculous sporting goods store a hundred miles away" and more "that place where I can buy a water bottle that also sells huge rifles".

They expanded quite a bit since, so now they’re basically Dick’s or REI or whatever just with a few more guns.

Cabela's is an American company, but the actual developers for this, Cauldron Games, were Slovakian. So there might be some cultural disconnect there, I guess. They also also produced some serious hunting sims; their swan song, as mentioned in the video, was Pro Hunts. It has a bizarre Sniper Elite bullet cam: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=olpP5tSgI80 corn in the bible fucked around with this message at 01:14 on Jul 15, 2018 |

Yeah, there's one of these not far from my house. It's extremely weird in a very American way. Like, this place sells an entire lifestyle of hunting/fishing/four-wheeling. You can buy guns and fishing stuff and hunting stuff yes, but you can also buy clothes and snacks and furniture with antlers on it and children's toys and video games like this. Also, the place has a bunch of exhibits- the one near me has both a diorama in the middle of the store full of taxidermied wild animals, and for the fishermen there's a whole freshwater aquarium full of local fish. The weirdest part is the 'gun museum', which is a separate showroom from the rest of the (absolutely massive) gun counter. This is where they sell their antique or really expensive guns in a enclosed room with the weapons behind glass and with salesmen who wear neckties. This is the part of the store you go to if you want to buy an antique percussion-cap revolver or a $12,000 engraved shotgun for skeet shooting at the country club. Place is weird as hell.

Incidentally, if anyone is interested in guesting in a session, let me know. There's only like an hour left of footage of the actual campaign, but I'd like to record at least some of the horde mode and that stuff, so maybe a live recording for that might be fun!

Isn't horde mode what you've been playing? How could they possibly make something that tops the never-ending mindless hordes of the campaign?

I like that they call the position at the deli section "deli outfitter". They're tasked with preparing outdoorsmen for perilous journeys into the untamed heart of their macaroni salad

Can the Cabelans succeed in their goal of eradicating all non-human animal life? I think we all know that they can.

Those are some good photos! I'm glad that people get to see inside one of the stores, because it's hard to describe them effectively. Note that in many stores the diorama would be much larger! Also Cabela's stores are all well and good. But behold: the Bass Pro Shop Arcology  This place is in Tennessee and it has fishing stuff, restaurants, bowling alleys, a hotel, etc. A self-contained nightmare of masculinity. corn in the bible fucked around with this message at 05:08 on Jul 26, 2018 |

My Cabela's has those elephant tusks too, and yes, they are wood. Mine doesn't have a full-scale restaurant, but it does totally sell ATVS outside. Probably a change in focus due to me being land-locked in a loving desert, and therefore not having any boat stuff. Maybe I should get a shot of some of the stuff my store carries.

I wanted to get a bunch of people together for the big finale, but instead it's just me and Joe for this finale. Maybe a bonus video will be incoming! If you wait long enough, you'll see it.
