The Great One
The Hunter: Call of the Wild is an awesome game. There is no shortage of animals and lots of parks to hunt. One of my favorites by far is Revontuli. Silver Ridge being a close second. Like most Americans, my prey of choice has always been whitetail. While I enjoy hunting all of the animals, whitetails are special. Brings back memories of hunting in my youth.
This hunt for the great one has taken me 4 years to complete. Some days I might've killed 200+ over a few rotations. Others may have only been a few dozen. After every respawn, I hoped this is the one. After countless disappointments. Finally, just to see one of these on my map was awesome. My heart was pounding out of my chest as I crept closer trying to line up a foolproof shot. I was so afraid I would blow this chance. After so long.
As I crawled into shooting position, a strange calm washed over. To see this moment, to finally be in front of me. I wanted to savor it. Take my time and consider the thousands of others it took to get here. It was breathtaking.
I am so grateful it took as long as it did. Probably would have quit playing long ago if I got one earlier. I never remember seeing a great one, although the game says I harvested one before. I think it may have been a Red Deer. I had a Legendary Stag move, just as I fired and caused me to miss vitals. Maybe that was it? Either way, mission, finally, accomplished.
Thanks for watching.

The Fox Hunt
This was a fun race hosted by HGR on an off night. Each driver qualifies and the field is staggered with the drivers receiving a head start based on their qualifying delta. If every driver runs their qualifying pace, they should all arrive at the finish line near the same time.

Forza Braking Drill
The very first and most important thing any driver needs to know before ever even moving a car is how to make it stop. Brakes are the most important safety component on any car. We all learn how to press the brakes and bring the car to a controlled stop. Easy enough. But truly mastering the brakes is the difference between an elite pro and your average midfielder. If you've never heard the phrase, "slow down to go faster." Then you probably think brakes are optional. You may have a lead foot mindset and prefer to just send it. And then you ask how you are getting passed so easily? "How is that guy going so fast?" It starts at the braking point.
Approaching the corner, the pro is hard on the brakes, just below the lockup point of the tires. As the car slows, less grip is needed for braking and is transitioning to steering. When the car begins to rotate and respond to steering, the driver bleeds off the brakes, smoothly, controlling the weight shift of the car. This is trail braking. Trailing off the brake pressure as the car turns in. If you are too clunky with your transitions, the weight will shift unpredictably and induce negative oscillations. i.e. oversteer or understeer.
You should think of braking as the polar opposite of acceleration. When taught how to use the accelerator, young drivers are told, "Don't break the egg!" If you stamp on the accelerator too hard, you break traction and spin the drive tires. Or in other words, 'Break the egg.' So as you accelerate, you depress the accelerator smoothly, slowly increasing pressure as the car grips. But then when you approach the braking point, you lift straight off. On the inverse, you stand on the brakes hard at the braking point. And smoothly and slowly release as the car turns.
Mastering the braking potential and programming the muscle memory to make it automatic will melt your lap times and make you an unstoppable overtaking machine. With the added bonus of making you harder to pass than a kidney stone.
