Hunting Huber is a limited series where each ally takes a turn hunting a severely disadvantaged Michael Huber in a different game each episode.
The show was teased with a promo on June 9, 2020 after Group Stream Night and went live the next day. Similar to the rollout of Achieve It Yourself! Season 2, the episodes release on Patreon a week early and then subsequently go up for the public.
Origins
The idea for the show started from a Punished Bet made on Easy Allies Podcast #95 - January 17th, 2018[1] where Huber bet Kyle that Far Cry 5 would get a Battle Royale mode. The terms of the bet were simply that "the loser will be hunted" and then "with a Nerf gun" was later added.
Due to the pandemic and lockdown, the Punished Bet had to be adjusted for Kyle's departure from Easy Allies. The result was posted on April 23, 2020 as Kyle hunted a disadvantaged Huber in Halo 2.[2]
Premise
Each episode begins with the featured Ally announcing their chosen game to hunt Huber in. Huber must then go through a challenge to determine how disadvantaged he will be in the 10-minute fight and attempt to improve his odds.
