I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

In the SNES game Zombies Ate My Neighbors you have to survive each level and save your clueless neighbors.

What I didn't know until recently is that the neighbors are not a set amount per level.
You have only so many that carry over from level to level and if they die, that's it.
I've never had them all die but I assume that's the second fail state.

I've played this game many times before and read this at least 3 times and still have no clue what it means.

You lose the game if all the neighbors get killed. You have fewer and fewer to start with each level if they keep getting killed, instead of the same number in each level, every time.

Edit: This is also why I never beat that loving game.

So if you had 10 initially and lost 5 in first level there'd be 5 in the second and if you lost 2 in that level, you'd have 3 left?

Yeah, exactly. They act as a sort of timer because monsters are all roaming towards them.

You have to prioritize who to get really quickly.

So if you lost all but one in level one you're basically hosed because there are some that are basically impossible on some later maps?

I'm going to have to replay it now. thanks jerks.

Don't forget the town of Miami, Oklahoma, which is pronounced "Miam-uh." Local newscasters carefully pronounce the Oklahoma town as Miam-uh while correctly saying "Miami" for the city in Florida.

In North Dakota there's Hebron, pronounced HEE-brun.

And black housecats have stripes! Sometimes when mine is in the sun I can see them and then I tease her about her terrible dark secret that she's secretly a tabby.

Did you notice the word 'misleading' right under the headline?

quote:

The picture only uses a poor camera in terrible lighting to represent human vision.
I do not know if the second picture is really in infrared, but I'd imagine that since the spots on any black panther can be seen normally, they would also show in infrared.
It's also important to note there are no true black panthers. Black panthers don't exist at all actually, as they're really either black jaguars or black leopards (like here).
A panther is more commonly called a cougar, and cougars are never melanistic.

Leopards and jaguars are literally panthers.

e: Well, the other way around really. There's no animal called panther that isn't either a leopard or jaguar. Except in the US because Americans are really loving stupid.

Yes, and Mountain Lions/Cougars are not. They are the genus Puma.
