Monster Hunter Tri is full of all sorts of wild new content, including some more subtle monster/hunter/environment interactions. Unity member, MoisesL, being an avid Monster Hunter fan, has taken a video of his experience in the environment of one of the new areas in Tri. 

The monsters in Tri don't always immediately attack you. In fact, most of them have their own little daily lives to go about, and will do so if you don't provoke them. Check out one bit of this in Moises' video with some insects gathering some juice from mushrooms. 

Since we didn't have a DLC quest for Monster Hunter Freedom Unite out last week, we've got something a little special for you. A challenge, actually. Here's the scoop:

• Download the Challenge Quest 4.

• Beat the quest (all three monsters) as fast as you can, solo or with a friend.

• Take a picture of your time remaining after beating all of the monsters  (take a picture of this screen) or video record the quest. 

• Fastest time wins swag! We'll send out a PSP case, strap, Monster Hunter Freedom Unite shirt, plushie, and some other MH related goodies.

Once you take your video/screenshot to submit, send it to me via Private Message. I'll announce the winner on Friday. Now get to hunting!

It's some fresh footage of the game our Western Monster Hunter fans gripe at us the most about, Monster Hunter Frontier Online. 

Famitsu's online outlet (EBTVJP) wrangled a group of Tokyo foreigners to go head-to-head against the PC-only game's evil new wolves.  The video comes to us from Unity's Tokyo correspondent, Scott Popular.  He's actually featured playing the game, you can find him in the little box on the bottom right, and then speaking some English about getting owned.

To avoid the Japanese monologue from the guy in the "SEX!" shirt, and see some wolves, skip to about the 4 minute mark.

The super fans/hunters at Reign of the Rathalos (awesome Monster Hunter fan site) have created and put together the perfect data section for you hunters out there. Weapons, armors, items, monsters, and more. It's organized very cleanly, and even our internal team of office hunters is using this, like Kramer, Sven and myself. Basically, whether you're new to MH and having some trouble, or even if you're a seasoned hunter there's something useful here for you.

My personal favorite is the armor section. They have an organizer/search function at the top that's functional, useful, and even throws in some hilarious stuff. 

Check it out here. Nice work RotR!
