The Great Easter Egg Hunt

Looks like we're going to have some fun with this month's Big Buck Safari National Tournament. This month's tournament, The Great Easter Egg Hunt, features one Hidden Easter Egg at every site!

Now before you start looking for brightly colored eggs under every tree, remember that in video games, an Easter Egg refers to a hidden secret. So were not looking for those striped eggs you used to make with your mum, were looking for Hidden Secrets.

Now it just so happens, that we here at the porch have been faithfully and dutifully recording hidden secrets (i.e. Easter Eggs) in Big Buck Safari and Big Buck Hunter Pro. If you look at the sidebar of this blog, up near the top, you can see a list of the Easter Eggs that we've already identified for you.

So write them down, go out to your favorite Big Buck Safari (online) location, and play the national tournament (starts April 1st), and find all the hidden easter eggs.
Oh and don't write them on your hand, because it's hard to shoot one-handed.

OMG! Don't shoot Rudolph!!

Here's a little nugget of Christmas Cheer for all you big buck players out there. In the latest version of Big Buck Hunter Pro (version 1.00.06 but who's counting?), there's a new Christmas easter egg.

If you play any sort of online game between Dec 24th and Dec 31st, all the Caribou will have red noses.

See, Caribou and Reindeer are actually the same species (Rangifer tarandus). But you can't really call it 'Reindeer' in the Adventure Select screen. All the kids would cry.

Anyhoo, now while you're at your favorite Big Buck location, toasting your friends with a steamy mug of Christmas glog, you can enjoy some Big Buck Hunter with new rosy Christmas cheer.

What's that you say? Shooting Rudolph isn't very Christmas-y? ...Bah Humbug? NO, see, you're thinking of this all wrong. That's not Rudolph you're shooting. See, all the other mean reindeer are mocking Rudolph.

Remember how they wouldn't let him 'play in any reindeer games'? Well now you can avenge Rudolph. Or wait..., I know, pretend they're zombies, you know, like in that movie 28 days...they're coming to kill Santa & the elves, and you have to save Christmas.

Never mind, just play it.

If the online game you are playing doesn't have it yet, try again later. The new software might not have downloaded to that machine yet.

Big Buck Safari - Easter Egg (Part III)

1) Choose the Gemsbok Adventure.

2) On the third trek, go to the 5th site (that's the one in the lower right).

4) Feel the love.
