Those aren't cougars. They're silent tan deathmissiles that home in on you from miles away, and swarm until they create pockets of territory with no survivable ground to stand on.

But they live in Canada as well.
The Lynx, like the Cougar, is in Felinae, not Panthera. So, no, the Lynx is not a big cat.
Jaguars are only near threatened, so they aren't endangered yet. Leopards are in the same boat. Tigers are endangers, while lions are only vulnerable. So, tigers are the only endangered large cats. On the other hand, the iberian lynx is critically endangered. So don't go killing cats in Spain.

Just try getting the hunting challenge for killing 5 with dynamite (or is it the knife?) :smalleek:

I started a new file in RDR a few days ago, and it's glitching and spawning cougars by Armadillo and MacFarlane's Ranch.

Technically, the term "Big Cat" has nothing to do with whether something is in the genus Panthera, Neofelis, Uncia or any other.
It is an informal term to refer to certain varieties of cat. The most expansive definition includes Lions, Tigers, Jaguars, Leopards, Cheetahs, Cougars, Snow Leopards, Clouded Leopards and Sunda Clouded Leopards.
(Panthera Leo, Panthera Tigris, Panthera Onca, Panthera Pardus, Acinonyx Jubatus, Puma Concolor, Uncia Uncia, Neofelis Nebulosa and Neofelis Diardi.)
The Lion is in Panthera, subfamily Pantherinae, family Felidae. The Cougar is in Puma, subfamily Felinae, family Felidae.
Admittedly, the Lynx is not classified as a big cat, but I just wanted to point out that they're all in Felidae.
Also, the Snow Leopard is endangered as well, not just the Tiger. And despite vulnerable not technically being endangered, it means they can become endangered if people aren't careful, and many of them are threatened in significant parts of their range or have endangered subspecies.
The bolded section is the only important part of this.

Trying to decide which is worse. On the one hand, most creepergrief comes from the fact that they blow up your everythings. On the other hand, they don't have the same propensity for somehow informing their friends where you'll respawn, killing you from nowhere as you attempt to figure out where the game's plopped you now. >.>

Can someone explain to me how it is possible to have "vegan chicken flavor" with "natural flavors"? I was extremely nervous about eating the dish which contained this ingredient....

Natural flavors are derived from natural sources, not necessarily the thing they taste like. Artificial flavors are the end results of a controlled chemical process. Of the two, I trust artificial flavors more.
And, Elemental, I claim late night as the cause of swapping an 'n' for a 'd'. I have corrected my post above.

Random question. Did anyone's parents ever make up stories to persuade you not to stay up late? My Dad always said we'd turn into pumpkins if we stayed up past midnight.

Don't let it get to you. Some people are just unconstructive jerks. Though, sometimes those kinds of people are giving proper advice, just in a very poor tone. And you really don't want to get a reputation as the guy who ignores advice. :s

No. But I distinctly remember from when I was younger and we'd have missionaries over for dinner, my parents, usually my Mum, would mention "Pumpkin Hour" because they had to be in at a certain time.

Throw more terraforming tools at it. Some planets just do that. Although the best idea is to farm the achievements (or whatever they call them in english) that lets you buy the terraforming beams. They're simply the best.

Given, this highly depends on how burocratic the system you're trying to get into is. Seeing how a system that allows special cases is susceptible to corruption, this is something that's often ruled out, like here in Sweden for example.
That said, grades actually do serve another purpose, although it isn't obvious at first. Due to the high pressure on the medical programs here in Sweden, only those with absolute top grades have a chance to get into them. This may seem like a bad thing in a country that could use more doctors, but I've learned from a friend of mine who works as one that due to the extremely high difficulty of the medical programs, only those with top grades (as a group) are sufficiently motivated to actually get through it. Everyone else are just a waste of time and resources.

My mum always told me if I stayed up late, I would be too tired in the morning to do all the things I wanted to do.
Sometimes it's really odd to have straightforward, logical parents.
Then again, my dad always let me stay up and watch his TV shows with him. I specifically remember watching Columbo with him a lot. Heh.

No but my cousin once told me the reason nobody in our house stayed up past midnight was because we'd lose both our bodies and our souls to a black spectre if we looked out a window at midnight.
I'm still afraid to look out a window at midnight =(

Don't worry. The worst thing that could be out there is an unearthly abomination, half spirit and half flesh, waiting for a suitable victim to keep alive while it drains their blood drop by drop.

That's okay, HT. I used to be afraid of looking out the window after dark, too. ... Wait a minute. I'm still afraid of looking out the window after dark. :smalleek:
Nah, not having a room on the ground floor anymore has pretty much cured me of that.

I don't know... You could probably order Exterminatus.
I mean... This place is full of aliens, demons, old gods, heretics and mutants. And seeing as they're on Earth, it's a threat that's bound to destroy the Imperium if not eradicated!

Say now...is that a common thing for parents to tell their kids? There's a scenario in Betrayal at House on the Hill which I always thought seemed kind of random, but it's about soul-stealing things coming in the windows if anyone opens them, and it specifically calls them Specters.

It was a pretty common ghost story when i was younger but I don't think he actually called them spectres, i think he said 'ghost'
Also, i said cousin, not parent :smalltongue:

I find this strangely adorable. And now I'm wondering if you have a fairy godmother or something. :smalltongue:
My parents never did anything like this. In fact, I can't even remember them telling me I had to go to sleep by a certain time. Ah, well. =3

Which reminds me, I've already got a team to beat up the single battle subway, but you're apparently a super baller at it, so give me a team to beat the Double Battle Subway. However, it must have the following stipulations!
1: No legendaries
2: Must use a pokemon from each region. This will leave one of the regions out, unfortunately, but such is life.
Get too it! Please and thank you.
Also, hugs for Moonie! *hugs*
Not got much experience with the battle subway myself, but if you're up for someone else having a go at your challenge, I'm trying to create a team that fits your stipulations.
My initial suggestion is the following (with suggested partial or completed movesets):
1)Gastrodon (with the storm drain ability)
Recover and Surf definites here, not sure what else to go for
2)Aerodactyl (Rock head- too frail for Pressure to be worthwhile)
Hone Claws to boost, Rockslide needed as well, might want a fang move and possibly roost
3)Golurk (Iron Fist for preference)
Earthquake hits multiple targets, Focus Punch and Shadow punch get boosted by Iron Fist and Substitute is something to hide behind
4)Forretress (Sturdy for preference)
Rapid Spin clears entry hazards, Stealth Rock and Toxic Spikes provide your own, and U-Turn helps get you away from trappers.
Main focus here is resistance or immunity to the common multi-target moves in doubles, such as Earthquake, Rockslide, Discharge, Surf and sometimes Explosion/Selfdestruct and the ability to remove crippling entry hazards. Team is biased a little towards physical attacking rather than special, but I find them easier to build.
