Eddie went ahead and pulled the pic; posting here for posterity.

Aye, JAFAAC all the way there.

Do you think you can find a better picture than the one I posted? This is a Zerg Overlord. I was trying to find a good picture of a Zerg Overlord on patrol, since I thought that might be a good example. But I couldn't seem to find a good one, so that was what I went with. Think you can help me out some with that? Thank you.

[up]Must we use the Zerg Overlord? I couldn't find any actual images of it "patroling", and they don't look like a mook to me, anyway, so I doubt we should be using it.

A clearer version of this maybe?

Or from Metal Gear: [1] [2]

I've GIMPed that second to last Metal Gear image:

They are in the pre-crop image - which doesn't explain them, either.

I'm no doctor, but I'm pretty sure that's their distance, 10 meters from the player character.

From Real Life as opposed to a game... but what about this? [1]

I'm uncomfortable calling real life people Mooks when mooks are, by definition, expendable.

Moreover, I think it's more illustrative if it's a video game image since it's mostly (not entirely, but mostly) a video game trope.

[up] Fair enough. Anyway, I've found what I think is the perfect image to portray this trope, which is from a game called Children of Liberty: <Original Image>

[up] I really like that one. It makes me think that there should be a rule in the Evil Overlord List about not installing flashlights inside the eyeballs of guards that reveal exactly where they are looking.

And as an idea for a caption for 12: "And now with 50% less peripheral vision"

[up] That, combined with the last suggestion, works for me as a combo. [tup]

[up][up] Brilliant. You have found both a good image and a good caption. Kudo, peasant. [awesome]

I second that.

12 and the proposed caption are good.

One or two more [tup] for that image and caption and we can pace in a slow and predictable pattern with it.
