Atari brings Deer Hunter Tournament to PC, 360 this Fall

by Ludwig Kietzmann { Jun 17th 2008 at 11:00PM }

Dear hunter,

I am writing to you, with great difficulty I might add, about a matter very dear to my heart. I understand that not all members of the human race find us endearing, but I would greatly and truly appreciate it if you would be a dear and stop hunting my kind, the deer. Isn't that what your dearly beloved technology is for?

Why not purchase a copy of Atari's "most intense virtual hunting experience ever created," Deer Hunter Tournament? Set for release this Fall on Xbox 360 and PC, it promises "true-to-life animal behaviour," a variety of hunting modes, techniques and tools, and online multiplayer (though I'm sure you would prefer online mullet-player). And for only $19.99, or $39.99 for the Xbox 360 version, you'll get to hunt deer without forcing me to deal with all the painful repercussions.

Plus, you know, it'll help you with your dire aiming and embarrassing tracking abilities. I'm writing this with your stationery and making a complete mess of the study.

Yours truly,
John Deer

That gun's not overdoing it at all...

Looks kinda like the rail gun from MGS 4

...damn... that's a manly firearm...

Dear God, Ludwig, that hurt.

Ludwig,

We all appreciate your efforts with the endless puns. It has certainly made you an icon here on Joystiq. However, you do not need to try so hard next time. It is better when it comes natural. Don't force it kid.

Best Regards,

John McPoop

You sound so... virgin, poop.

John McPoop (PSN:johnnynumber5) @ Jun 18th 2008 12:42AM

What does a virgin state sound like. Its not like I was railing on Ludwig. His work is the stuff of legend on the internet.

I KNEW this was a Ludwig thing.

Stop telling Ludwig what to do. He is a free octopus, none of his arms are shackled to your walls of pain and cynicism.

John McPoop (PSN:johnnynumber5) @ Jun 17th 2008 11:29PM

When did I tell him what to do?

"He is a free octopus, none of his arms are shackled to your walls of pain and cynicism."

You did good Kid

I wonder if Atari will do some annoying ad campaign like they are doing with DBZ: Burst limit. Either way, this once classic company continues to dig their own grave.

tmacairjordan87 @ Jun 17th 2008 11:53PM

I'm predicting a long drawn out Git r' done ad campaign.

FrankDrebin @ Jun 17th 2008 11:50PM

I really like ludwig's posts. I'd buy a whole book of it.

John McPoop (PSN:johnnynumber5) @ Jun 18th 2008 12:41AM

@Drebin

Fun Fact: I have the Charlie Brown checks from my local branch

Atari wonders why their company is going under. The answer is because they spew out garbage like Deer Hunter Tournament.

chispito @ Jun 18th 2008 12:16AM

I'd buy it if it's multiplayer and you can shoot orange deer.

Wes @ Jun 18th 2008 12:27AM

Hmm, I knew there were gonna be some surprises at e3 but man the cat is out of the bag now! Who would have ever though Microsoft's e3 surprise would be that it has another exclusive on its list. No, not halo 4. No, not dead or alive 5. Its DEER HUNTER TOURNAMENT! Only for PC and xbox 360 come fall! WOOOOT!!!! Eat it Nintendo and Sony Fanboys! Eat it good! (Sarcasim intended)
