Deep Crows

Will they be in any part of game? Any episode, any level, any huge, epic boss battle? I think they're pretty much a must at this point.

    Lol Av and sig. lol I like how the dude didn't even have to turn around to know what was killin' 'him. Deep Crows are a problem that people just don't want to face these days. It's a pity there's one less expert in the world.

    Do Deep Crows speak Deeptongue?

    Anyway, you can't have Deep Crows in the game because they are absolutely unstoppable. That would not be fair.

    I actually asked Khoo this personally this weekend, and he paused for a bit and said "...Not in this episode."

    So, take that for whatever you will.

    The specter of deep crow can be just as bad as deep crows themselves.

    Yes, I too love the fact that a seemingly hickish pest removal serviceman was an expert on creatures that were born from some hellish primordial void, sealed beneath the earth for eons like Balrogs. For someone so acquainted with their terrible power, his mind turned to payment pretty quickly, so maybe he wasn't the sharpest tool in the pile. Deepcrows genuinely creep me out though, just like all Lovecraftian inspired creations that find their way into Penny Arcade. Being the God-fearing Christian that I am, it truly chills the blood.

    This week on 'Looking Too Far Into Things'...Art's Deep Crow hypothesis.
    Via psionics or an instinctive aura, the Deep Crow gives it's victims a vision of their impending doom instants after it is too late to escape.

    EDIT: I'm not a god-fearing Christian, but this thread made me a Crow-fearing atheist.

    Yeah, probably best to hold something like that back for now. Done correctly, it might be possible to get an entire episode out of a Deep Crow theme, assuming they throw in the appropriate cultists and roadkill.

    I wonder if Deep Crows hunt in packs or are they solitary creatures?
    What would the boss crow be like? A hive mind? A queen deep crow?

    Packs? Have you seen how fucking big they are man?

    I would imagine a deep crow would be strained for find a cavern cavernous enough to hold a single deep crow.

    Realtor: As you can see, this cavern has a subterrainian lake lit with bioluminescent fungi, an active volcanic vent for waste disposal, cheap heating and demon spawning, & convinent access to Cthulhian cities in the unfathomable depths.

    Deep Crow: Hmmm. This cavern, I'm afraid it's not quite...cavernous enough.

    Realtor: Oh shi-

    Deep Crow: *eats*

    I've got two questions,

    One, since Deep Crows are so FUCKING HUGE, how do they have sex without creating cracks in the earth?

    Two, it would be fucking AWESOME if Deep Crows were a monster that automatically killed you in a mini-game if you dug too deeply in whatever game it was. Maybe you mine, and if you continue to mine (say akin to macro minining in EVE Online) for too long a period for a HUMAN to mine, a Deep Crow appears. Perhaps it even sings to you before devouring your soul. That would be a great little easter egg for the game. Or maybe avoiding their caverns while mining could be part of the game. I imagine PA can make anything feel worthwhile.

    I wish (though I suppose I'm one of like 2 other people who want this) they'd publish a regular comic that reads like a RPG/D&D but with a hint of PA ridiculousness. Basically, take the Deep Crow humor and carry that out into a regular story line with some dysfunctional heroes. I'd eat it up.

    That don't fuck with cthulhu sig is hilarious.

    am i the only one who saw the latest comic and immediately wanted a stand alone game featuring the pest control guy fighting/escaping the deep crows? surely a classic action/platformer would be the perfect template for it. maybe something to think about for when Rainslick is done(or maybe even as a smaller, side project)?

    He would only need 2 attacks, "Mystify," which he is demonstrating today, and perhaps whatever he does on Wednesday.

    Could be Carl, I suppose. The first comic defiantly looks like it has an "l" at the end, and today's looks like "Ca..."

    Depending on the next comic, it may not really matter what his name was, heh.
