![]() The things that we hear most from them is when they drink water, chew on their food or when they feel like digging the litter box. I don’t think they are noisy animals, but obviously, some things will make some noise. Preferably of the same sex, if you’re not a breeder. That’s why it is highly advisable to get more than one pet rat. They like to have others to play and will be more entertained that way. A bundle of warm fur, all cozy in their sleep.Īs mentioned before, if you own more than one pet rat, you’ll notice they’ll be way more active than a single rat. They live in groups and will always look for each other to sleep. They need to get used to each other.īut either way, rats are very sociable and will get along fine. Rats can have trouble accepting one another, especially if they’re introduced and forced to live in the same space too quickly. It’s just like us, sometimes we don’t get along with someone else. But if they aren’t showing any other signs of illness, don’t worry about that option, some (rare) pet rats don’t get along with others. If they aren’t sleeping together they might not be getting along or one of them can be sick. As I said before, rats tend to sleep through small naps, so they can’t go into a deep sleep that easily. But, as long as they’re breathing, it is certain that your rattie is very relaxed and comfortable.ĭon’t worry though, your rat will be sleeping with their eyes closed more often than with them opened. Most of the times, the eyes can be only partially open. So as the eye becomes drier, the eyelid will close to provide the needed lubrification Just like us, their eyes need lubrification and that comes from their eyelids. As the eye becomes uncomfortable, it will close. They could be in a very deep sleep and since the eye won’t notice light nor movement, it won’t make a difference. They’re breathing and alive! I’m not entirely sure why they do this. But, when you look closely you notice you don’t need to worry. You pet them, you call for them and they don’t care. You look at the cage and your pet rat has their eyes open or partially opened, but very still. It doesn’t only sound, but it is actually rather scary. If you get up very early, chances are you’ll still catch them very active! For example, we usually give them new and fresh food at around 7 pm and if we’re late, we’ll know! They got used to that schedule and will know when it’s time for the meal.įrom then on it will be a mix of napping, grooming, playing with each other and eating through the whole night. Your pet rats can change their routines, depending on your routine as well. ![]() Sometimes, they leave their cage and go sleep beneath their covers on the sofa and then we won’t hear or see them until they wake up or we bring their food. ![]() Most of the time, while the sun is up, we won’t see them a lot. They always have their cage open, so they can roam around freely. ![]() Since we work at home, we have our pet rats in our office. Around the time the sun starts to hide, they’ll pop up and be ready to play around. But overall, they’ll be spending most of their time sleeping during the day.Īt night, they’ll be more active. They rest with naps, sleeping for about 4 hours, then wake up, eat a snack, groom a bit and then back to sleep. They also found that the animals’ brains had to work harder to judge the depth of the objects they were seeing.They usually don’t sleep for long hours. Researchers there noticed that when rats had only one eye, they were able to detect objects in the distance more easily. This is a real eye adaptation, it was discovered in a laboratory in Sweden. The project is dedicated to helping blind and visually impaired rats by providing them with adaptations that help them see and navigate. She is the founder of the Rat’s Nest Project. Honey lost her sight in one eye at 3 weeks old. I created this adaptation for a rat named “Honey” who was born blind. However, rats can perceive ultraviolet light, an important factor for an animal that spends most of its time in the dark. This is why they are not good at detecting contrast, which is a key factor for human beings. In general, rats see much of the world as a blur, due to the size and number of cones in their eyes. If you look at a painting and focus on the bright colors, you can usually tell whether the painter was happy or sad when they painted it. For example, if you look at a person’s eyes and mouth, you can tell if they are happy, sad, or angry.Īnd it’s the same with color. It’s interesting to think about how much of what we see around us is actually a reflection of what’s happening behind the scenes.

The learning curve is not exceedingly steep, but you need to pay attention to survive. ![]() Battles can be straightforward affairs, challenging you to outlast the boss, or it can become very complicated in double-quick time, as bosses might have multiple phases, displaying different quirks and attacks to overwhelm you. Larger Than Lifeįacing down the Watchdog, Guardian, and Azikel, the God of Light in the preview gave us a taste of the different types of challenges that will arrive in the full game. Together with the management of your stamina, this becomes a delicate balancing act in the face of imminent danger. After all, when you are down to a sliver of health and have nothing to lose, why not give yourself a fighting chance?Īnd if a specific boss is steeling their defences, you can break through with Bloodburst, a special attack that drains your charge immediately. Originally not included in the game, the developers eventually decided on this differentiating mechanic to give players more incentive to go on the offensive. Instead, the game rewards aggressiveness by giving you lifesteal when Bloodthirst is in effect. However, unlike the Souls games, you do not have a healing potion handy when faced with enemies in the game. ![]() By holding all the way, you unleash a powerful charge attack and gain a powerful buff in Bloodthirst. It is the latter that is the most intriguing of the combat formula on display in Eldest Souls. You can attack with your greatsword, avoid attacks by expending stamina to dodge or hold down the attack button for a charge attack. However, instead of an overwhelming number of systems to understand and master, the game gives you the tools to succeed within your means. Similarly, players would be able to do the same as the Old Gods loom in the distance. It makes perfect sense, then, to have Eldest Souls pay homage to these games and, at the same time, attempt to forge a path of its own. Speaking to developers Jonathan Costantini and Francesco Barsotti, the passion emanating from them is quite evident as the duo count not just the Souls series as their favourites, but also the likes of Titan Souls and Furi. Armed with a greatsword of the purest Obsydian, the Old Gods await to test your skill and mettle. Not content with being imprisoned, these colossal calamities unleashed a great Desolation upon the world, and it is up to you to be the salvation mankind seeks. This is a world devastated by the Old Gods following humanity’s rebellion after centuries of servitude. From the moment you step into the shoes of the lone Warrior, the world and everything in it smells of danger and the gravity of the task at hand. Even if its impressive 16-bit pixel aesthetic is not as realistic as its inspiration, Eldest Souls is chocked full of intense action and enthralling environmental storytelling. ![]() Launching in just a few weeks on 29 July, with the help of publisher United Label, it is clear that the game is wearing its heart on its sleeve. ![]() Of course, not everyone can reach such lofty standards, but based on our preview of the upcoming indie Boss-Rush title, Eldest Souls, developer Fallen Flag Studio is in a good place. It is all well deserved, as the games in the series marry pure gameplay goodness with intricate storytelling, which is a combination that is almost impossible to find elsewhere. Over the years, plenty of games have taken inspiration or pay homage to the Souls series, made famous by the incredible From Software studio. By now it's a big part of the charm the games are known for, but won't win over anyone who'd rather see animation. Static enemy portraits are all you get, but it's an intriguing gallery of often cute and/or bizarre rogues to discover. The contemporary world is colourful and presented well for the NES era, although veterans of the series will know by now not to expect any action during battles. Certain other aesthetic and cultural changes were made for the West: the crows still don't smoke cigarettes. The translation of Beginnings is more than serviceable, but feels flatter compared to the spirited localization of EarthBound. It actually just increases the speed of the entire game, but it works. At least there is one-press access to the status screen and map, which is nice, and this western version includes a "run" option by holding down the 'B' button. Interactions are made through the menu system, and unfortunately there's no one-hit shortcut for actions or communicating as there is in EarthBound. New party members will also have to be babied while they gain their footing in levels. Dying will be common while grinding up to better levels and equipment, but the system doesn't punish defeat too severely as long as money is kept stored in a handy ATM instead of on your person. There's little to no hand-holding, and enemies are quite capable of taking your character out as soon as he takes the first steps out of his idyllic rural home. Patience is absolutely necessary to make progress in this game. Beginnings plainly shows its colours as an '80s era RPG, with its sequel refining or improving upon many of its elements. That's not to say the playing experiences of both are an exact match, however. The overall plots are different, but both are interesting and even surprisingly emotional at times, joined to the same quirky heart of creator Shigesato Itoi. There's the psychic, bat-wielding boy and his three companions, the consumption of burgers and other foods to restore HP, the collecting of a melody, and an alien threat. Similarities between Beginnings and the SNES EarthBound are many, with a number of concepts and themes transferred from the first to the second. Given the order most have played these titles, Beginnings can feel like a loving demake of the SNES game at times, as much as the parent it truly is. ![]() Its official Virtual Console appearance on Wii U eShop back in 2015 marked a victory for EarthBound lovers who had maintained a persistent current of petitioning and support for many years, but it's also somewhat of an anachronism. ![]() It's pretty surreal, yet the fact the game took so long to appear officially on an honest-to-goodness western Nintendo console somehow feels even more so.ĮarthBound Beginnings is the localized version of the original Mother for the Famicom. And yet, like from some urban legend, a group of fans managed to buy a beta cartridge of the RPG off eBay in 1998 and released the ROM onto the Internet as "EarthBound Zero." Translated into English and perfectly playable, it oddly never made it to retail release on the NES. If you were an early adopter of EarthBound fanaticism in the West, you likely caught wind of a previous title made for the Famicom. ![]() This review originally went live in 2015, and we're updating and republishing it to mark the arrival of EarthBound Beginnings in the Nintendo Switch Online NES library. ![]() This resulted in rivers rising faster and changing their courses more often in Mesopotamia.īoth the Mesopotamian irrigation system and that in the Egyptian delta were of the basin type, which were opened by digging a gap in the embankment and closed by placing mud back into the gap. Irrigation was extremely vital to Mesopotamia, Greek for "the land between the rivers." Flooding problems were more serious in Mesopotamia than in Egypt because the Tigris and Euphrates carried several times more silt per unit volume of water than the Nile. It is also of interest that these people, from the beginning of recorded history, fought over water rights. The Sumerians in southern Mesopotamia built city walls and temples and dug canals that were the world's first engineering works. The building of canals continued in Egypt throughout the centuries. These consisted of a bucket on the end of a cord that hung from the long end of a pivoted boom, counterweightedĪt the short end. In many places where fields were too high to receive water from the canals, water was drawn from the canals or the Nile directly by a swape or a shaduf. During low flows, the land did not receive water, and no crops could grow. During very high flows, the dikes were washed away and villages flooded, drowning thousands. Problems regarding the uncertainty of the flow of the Nile were recognized. The land was checkerboarded with small basins, defined by a system of dikes. ![]() One of the first duties of provincial governors was the digging and repair of canals, which were used to flood large tracts of land while the Nile was flowing high. In ancient Egypt, the construction of canals was a major endeavor of the pharaohs and their servants, beginning in Scorpio's time. The first successful efforts to control the flow of water were made in Mesopotamia and Egypt, where the remains of the prehistoric irrigation works still exist. Such changes probably first took place in the hills to the north of present-day Iraq and Syria. Only in the past 9,000 to 10,000 years have humans discovered how to raise crops and tame animals. Humans have spent most of their history as hunting and food-gathering beings. It was only during the Holocene epoch (10,000 years ago) that the development of agriculture occurred, keeping in mind that the Earth and solar system are 4.6 billion years old. Humans are newcomers to Earth, even though their achievements have been enormous. ![]() Also available is a Dr Disrespect Bundle containing an emote, weapon wrap, wingsuit, and a spray.įirst Watch Games sent out a press release regarding this partnership earlier today and one of the things they noted was that since its official launch on October 1, the game has attracted more than 8 million players, making it the most succesful launch in Hi-Rez's 15 year history.

John Wayne Gacy died on via lethal injection. Reportedly, the buyers weren't aware of the history of the house they purchased until they were informed by reporters. It was initially listed for $489,000, but lack of interest resulted in multiple price cuts meaning the site lost almost a fifth of its value. Most recently, it was sold again for $391,000 in 2021 (according the NBC Chicago ), after two years on the market. "When these houses come up for sale, some people buy the place thinking if they tear it down and change the address a little bit and do some cosmetic fixes, the stigma will go away. "The stigma runs with the land, not the house," real estate appraiser Orell Anderson told the site. However, the horrors that happened on the site continue to haunt the land and its value, over time, has continued to deplete. In 1986, it was turned into a three-bedroom, two-bathroom home, according to, with the property being bought by a woman for her elderly parents. It took five years for someone to purchase the property after what happened there, with the home being turned over to a savings and loan company in 1984. In the years following Gacy's occupancy, a property built on the site of his demolished home has exchanged hands multiple times, and has since been given a new number so it can not be connected to avoid attracting onlookers. The 1979 investigation into the home ultimately caused the house itself to be razed to the ground, as the sheer number of bodies continuing to be found needed further hunts. in unincorporated Norwood Park Township, about a 25-minute drive north of central Chicago, Illinois. Will you be watching Conversations with a Killer: The Jeffrey Dahmer Tapes on Netflix? What did you think of the show’s trailer? Let us know by leaving a comment below.The home is located at 8213 W. The first two Conversations with a Killer series were interesting and disturbing, and I’m sure Conversations with a Killer: The Jeffrey Dahmer Tapes will follow suit. I don’t generally like to delve as far into the stories of real-life serial killers as these shows go, but I live with someone who does, so I end up watching them as well. Dahmer quickly confessed to sixteen murders in Wisconsin over the span of four years, plus another murder in Ohio - but the most shocking revelation involved acts of necrophilia and cannibalism.īack for a third iteration, Conversations with a Killer uses never-before-heard audio interviews between Dahmer and his defense team to answer the big question: Why was Dahmer, who had been convicted of sexual assault of a minor in 1988, able to avoid suspicion and detection from police as he stalked Milwaukee’s gay scene for victims, many of whom were people of color? The three-part docuseries not only delves into the killer’s warped psyche but also examines police accountability through a modern-day lens. As seen in the trailer above, the upcoming docuseries highlights interviews with those who worked closely with Dahmer, including his lawyer Wendy Patrickus, during his high-profile case. ![]() ![]() From a freezer full of human heads to decomposing body parts, the discovery amounted to the grisly personal museum of a sadistic killer.

When TV stations started using Blue Screen techniques for their local weather reports, it caused some unnatural effects when newsmen and women wore clothing that was close to the color value of the chroma key. So, why the change from blue or black to green? Well, any solid color could be used. With a few refinements added, especially in regards to using computer programs to make the composites, Blue Screen has become Green Screen. When describing the process, many photographers and cinematographers would refer to it as Blue Screening. An advantage of chroma key compositing over mattes and front or rear projection was that chroma key results looked more natural and more believable.Įarly on, chroma key backgrounds were mostly filmed with a blue backdrop, sometimes a black one. It tended to look a little cheesy, but we allowed suspension of disbelief to take charge, making the scene acceptable.Īs movie making and still photography got more sophisticated, the chroma key process was developed and refined. This way, a pivotal conversation scene in a car, for instance, could be filmed in studio and yet it looked like the pair was driving over the Golden Gate Bridge. A projection screen was set up as the backdrop and an image or some movie footage was projected on the screen. It worked as well for still images as for motion pictures. A prepainted or preprinted backdrop was used as the background.Īlternately, rear projection was used in much the same way. A car dash and seats were set up in studio in order to have better control over exposure, lighting, even the audio for the desired scene. In the olden days of movies, a travelling matte was sometimes used to substitute for location shooting. In this way, the primary action or image can be filmed anywhere, at any time, and then the compositing finishes the scene or image. Then, the background is replaced with another scene. The primary scene is filmed or imaged with the single color background. In chroma key compositing, two different images or video feeds are layered together, with one of them being a replacement for a single color background used behind the primary scene or image.īefore digital photography and videography, either blue or black were the background colors most often used. Green screen is the commonly used term for chroma key compositing. I just clipped my screen up on an existing frame or to a bookcase with cheap spring clamps from Home Depot.While capturing green screen videos used to be a acquired skill and expensive process, recording onto a green screen is now a common process amongst videographers and photographers.īecause of this, I have rounded up some of the best lights for green screens that will allow you to capture stunning footage/ photography for your next project! Lets begin! What is the purpose of using a green screen? ![]() If you want to go all out you can attach grommets in the corners and in the middle so you can easily hang it on nails. WARNING: Do not paint this on anything except a plastic tarp because this will bleed through as you paint it. The 6’x9’ drop cloth took up about 1/2 gallon of paint because it is so absorbent and some of it leaks through. I didn’t iron before painting and it is still wrinkled–I’m a little afraid to iron it with all the paint in it after the fact. I picked up a 6’x9’ canvas tarp that is typically used as a drop cloth and painted it green as well. Beware, if you paint a wall of your house this color, it will be amazingly green–I mean, shield your eyes, start a fight with your spouse because you didn’t ask permission-green! But you do feel a bit like you are making a Marvel movie, so I personally describe it as crazy awesome green. ![]() Drywall doesn’t shine and works perfectly. ![]() If you are just doing some Zoom calls and want a green backdrop, you can paint a half of a sheet and attach it with screws to your wall so you can remove it later (attach to studs).
