Mark of the ninja remastered speedrun1/10/2023 The no-time-trials one I somewhat regret. I don't think the criteria are that arbitrary (even though they are somewhat personal and subjective)-in particular, in rhythm games your control over the player character is typically so limited that, to me, it's no longer a platformer. Holy crap! That game is the epitome of "easy to learn, difficult to master". Ninja-edit: Oh, and let's not forget Dustforce. Well, 2D platformers in general are pretty popular in the speedrunning community, and Super Meat Boy is the most popular 2D platformer on, so you could always start by looking there. And probably a lot of other platformers.īut there is no larger community or forum in place for this kind of game. If we're just talking about good/decent platformers then we should probably add Mega Man (X), Super Mario Bros., Rayman Origins/Legends, DuckTales (NES or Remastered), Castle of Illusion HD, 6180 the moon, An Imp A Fiend, Shin Samurai Jazz, Love/Love+, Mark of the Ninja, Guacamelee!, Explodemon!, 20XX (roguelike very obviously based on Mega Man), Strider (remake), Battle Kid, Super Win the Game/You Have to Win the Game, and Shovel Knight. I don't see any reason that Bit.Trip Runner shouldn't be included other than you not personally liking it which is fine, but going by your personal taste obviously makes it a tad harder to contribute to the list.įenix Rage is probably the closest you'll get to Super Meat Boy and it's ok, but it doesn't feel as good as SMB and honestly just comes off like a cheap knock-off. I like/love all of those games, but the only things they all have in common are that they're 2D, side-scrolling platformers of some type. They Bleed Pixels is very combat focused, Spelunky, being a roguelike, has a pretty high penalty for error, Potatoman Seeks the Troof takes as much luck as skill to complete (due to RNG with falling rocks, eggs and stuff), Wings of Vi relies a good deal on upgrades/the Metroidvania formula. That's a super arbitrary set of criteria, and VVVVVV is totally as much a puzzle platformer as it is an action platformer. Prompt (new on Steam, not working properly yet) I Wanna Be The Guy (and, its massive family of ultra-hard fangames) Games I've played only a little or none (some of these look great, some are probably bad): They Bleed Pixels (has combat, but the platforming is intense and, in my view, primary) Spelunky (a roguelite, but greatest and most platformer-y of them all) to allow for time-trials/combo focused games-like Dustforce, which has a great reputation.Ībomination Tower (limited lives but quite Meat Boy-like) these last traits especially I'm happy to compromise on after your suggestions, e.g. (I'm also skeptical if rhythm games like Bit Trip Runner count as platformers, but as you like.) Speedrun-friendly, but not a time-trials game where speed is essential to win/enjoy. Levels tend to require many attempts to succeed Less emphasis on combat, upgrades, puzzles, story, etc. 2D game with central emphasis on platforming, i.e. Let's at least create a list here are the loose guidelines, but games need not fit all of them. But there is no larger community or forum in place for this kind of game. SMB is a very influential game, and fans like me tend to want to find other similar games.

Much of their typical lowland steppe habitats have been lost due to human activity (e.g. Meadow vipers live in highly fragmented lowland steppes or subalpine-alpine grasslands. rakosiensis) or critically endangered ( V. ursinii including all subspecies), endangered ( V. Some taxa are classified in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as vulnerable ( V. ursinii is a species listed in CITES (Appendix I), in the Bern Convention (Appendix II) and in the European Union’s Habitats Directive (Appendix II and IV), and also protected by national legislation in most of its distribution range, except in Albania, Bosnia-Herzegovina and Montenegro. ursinii complex are among the most endangered viperid species in Europe (Nilson and Andrén, 2001). Taxa in the Vipera ursinii species complex ( Acridophaga subgenus, Reuss, 1927, hereafter referred to as meadow vipers) are especially vulnerable, because most have a highly fragmented distribution, ranging from Eastern France to Western China (Nilson and Andrén, 2001). Therefore, precise information on their distribution is fundamental for the effective conservation of their populations (Johnson and Gillingham, 2005). Montane species are especially vulnerable in this regard, as their distribution is often not only restricted, but also highly fragmented and isolated (Ehrich et al., 2007). Our study serves as a baseline for further ecological research and for conservation measures for one of the least known European viperid snakes.Īn increasing number of species are threatened by habitat changes (Brooks and Kennedy, 2004) and those with restricted distributions face an elevated risk of extinction (Malcolm et al., 2006). Our surveys increased the number of known populations by 60% and the known geographical range of the subspecies by approximately 30%. These high montane habitats are separated by deep valleys and are threatened by overgrazing, soil erosion, and a potential increase in the elevation of the tree line due to climate change. All localities were subalpine-alpine calcareous meadows above 1600 m. graeca and a low number of identified haplotypes suggested low genetic variability among populations despite significant spatial isolation. Genetic analysis of mitochondrial DNA sequences also confirmed the identity of the snakes as V. Morphological characters undoubtedly supported that all individuals found at these new localities belong to V. Six populations (Dhëmbel, Llofiz, Griba, Shendelli, Tomorr and Trebeshinë Mountains) are reported here for the first time. Based on 78 live individuals and 33 shed skins, we validated the presence of the snake on eight of the eleven mountains. The model predicted suitable areas for eleven mountains in southern Albania, which we visited in ten field expeditions in four years. We used species distribution modelling based on climate data from known localities in Greece to estimate the potential distribution of the subspecies. The subspecies was previously reported from eight localities in Greece and one locality in southern Albania. Vipera ursinii graeca is a restricted-range, endemic snake of the Pindos mountain range in the southwestern Balkans. Storm boy book1/10/2023 Percival, who returns the child’s loyalty beyond all expectations. Storm Boy nurtures the three pelicans, forming a particular connection with a bird that he names Mr. It's the latter which prompted me to borrow this book as I'm thinking of going to see it at QPAC, our peforming arts centre. He finds three chicks orphaned by hunters and decides to raise the birds with the help of his father and Fingerbone Bill (Trevor Jamieson), a Ngarrindjeri Aboriginal who teaches the boy how to care for the land and animals. Storm Boy is an Australian childrens classic, first published in 1964, it has endured the decades and has been remade into film and performed live on stage. Storm Boy’s loose education comes from his father, leaving him endless time to wander the beach. They reside in a shack that sits on land they hope will become a pelican sanctuary, but hunters threaten the purity of the region and kill the birds for sport.

His granddaughter (Morgana Davies) urges him to reconsider, spurring Michael to tell her about his childhood. In the present day, a businessman, Michael Kingley (Geoffrey Rush), is poised to make a deal with the devil - in this case, a mining company - that would decimate his home’s natural ecosystem. It was a popular children's film both in Australia and Britain and won a medal at the Moscow Film Festival in 1977 for best children's film.In a new adaptation of the early 1960s Australian children’s book “Storm Boy,” the story of a child who raises pelicans is updated to mixed effect. Storm Boy was a hit, grossing $2,645,000 at the box office in Australia, which is equivalent to $13,674,650 in 2009 dollars. The production team later reunited on Blue Fin (1978). In 2009 Mr Percival died at Royal Adelaide Zoo, aged 33 years old. Eleven-year-old Greg Rowe was an untrained actor, selected from over 70 applicants. Shooting began in May 1976, with exteriors shot near Goolwa and interiors in the SAFC's studio at Norwood. The budget came from the South Australian Film Corporation, the Australian Film Commission and the Seven television network. His only requirement was that his novel was not turned into a sex comedy. David Gulpilil (credited as Gulpilil) as Fingerbone BillĬolin Thiele had little involvement in the scripting of the film.With the wise guidance of Fingerbone Bill, Mike learns of the cycle of life and is eventually allowed by his father to attend school for the first time in a nearby village. The bird forms a deep bond with the boy until sadly, Mr Percival is shot by duck shooters. However one particular pelican, named ' Mr Percival' by Mike, returns. Fingerbone names Mike "Storm Boy" and enlists the child's help caring for three orphaned pelican chicks.Įventually, Mike's Dad insists that he release the grown birds back into the wild. In search of friendship, Mike encounters another recluse in the wilderness, Fingerbone Bill ( David Gulpilil), an Aboriginal man estranged from his tribal people. He and his reclusive father 'Hide Away' Tom ( Peter Cummins) live in the isolated sand dunes facing the Southern Ocean. Mike ( Greg Rowe) is a lonely young boy wandering through the fierce deserted coast of South Australia's Coorong, near the mouth of the Murray River.

Jessie james gang1/10/2023 The connection between Meramec Caverns and Jesse James remained obscure until the summer of 1941, when a rather severe drought hit the area and the water table dropped. The discovery is explained as follows in an article by Phil Dotree at InterestingAmerica.Com. Over the years Dill aggressively sought to expand the caverns, and achieved notable success in this regard in 1941, with a discovery that (at least in Dill’s mind) tied the cave to the exploits of the James Gang. He renamed the cave Meramec Caverns, after the Meramec River that flows nearby, and began remodelling the huge cavern, which had earlier been used for dance parties by the residents of Stanton, into a show cave, open, for a fee, to the public. Saltpeter, however, was far from Dill’s interest. Within weeks most of the gang was either killed or captured only a very few, including Jesse and Frank, were still alive and at large. But the authorities, outraged by an 1876 robbery of the First National Bank of Northfield, Minnesota and the accompanying bloodshed, eventually mounted a relentless manhunt. (It’s little wonder that the Kingston Trio’s version of Jesse James added a new line – “Jesse never did a worthwhile thing.”) In any event for years the gang eluded capture with the assistance of Confederate sympathizers in Missouri – indeed, in the 1870s the rivened state legislature only narrowly defeated a bill that would have granted full amnesty to the gang notwithstanding those robberies and murders. By and large the James-Younger gang targeted banks run by Republicans who had stood against the Confederacy during the Civil War, and they didn’t shy away from killing anyone they suspected of Union sentiments. After the war, Jesse and Frank, perhaps as early as 1866, began their infamous run of bank and train robberies.
