Crawl needs a playable Quokka species.

[mad]

I'm from Western Australia, where quokkas are from, and I just assumed they were well-known animals and that's why they were in crawl. Then I saw people on reddit posting "TIL quokkas are real" and I facepalmed a little.

I thought people knew narwhals are real. =)

[Jabberwocky]

Not only are they real, they're delicious.

[Grimm]

Yes, Qwebeckers subsist almost entirely on narwhal meat.

[Confidence Interval]

Really? I thought they ate mostly raw bear and cheese.

(Bear cheese, obviously.)

[Grimm]

You're thinking of the Saskatchewanistaniites.

How confusing it all is.

Crawl needs a playable Quokka species.

I think a better idea - better because it's mine - is when Crawl gets ported to Playstation or Wii or whatever, the quokka be used as a marketable mascot, in the vein of Sonic the Hedgefox or Mario the Scottish Plumber. Can't you just see it? "Quimby the Quokka", with his oversized tennis shoes and "cool" sunglasses, would appear on t-shirts and myspace pages all across the globe. Children would imitate his distinctive accent.

[Confidence Interval]

I presume you're familiar with the slang meaning of quim and that this name is thus intentionally offensive.

[Jabberwocky]

Am I the only person who thinks that Quokas look delicious, and so will eat them in preference over anything else?

I do always think "Here comes lunch!" when I see one. In game, of course.

[Jabberwocky]

Their should be a vault where a couple of Quokas are kicking a CBoE around... Because then they would be playing Quoka soccer!

Two k's, Jabs. Two.

Really? I thought they ate mostly raw bear and cheese.

(Bear cheese, obviously.)

I knew I tried a cheesy beer once, finally found what it was :


* Not a real "cheese" beer, but a beer made specifically for a cheese maker and festival. I you want dairy product in your beer, get some Japaneses beer (bilk).

We even have beer cheeses, I strongly recommande the Cheddar Guiness.

As for bear we don't really eat them, mostly because they are fucking dangerous to hunt (not the animal themselves, the forest ranger and cops ). And also because some of then are full of toxins and worms, eg polar bears eat only fishes, their meat uncooked can kill you (or your dogs...), cooked only make you sick, alone in the cold, surrounded by MOAR polar bears.

So yeah, I don't think a Quokka is strong enough to survive a winter next to a poisonous drunken fat bear. That's why they appear much sooner than polar bears in the dungeon.

[Jabberwocky]

FYI bear is delicious with beer.

[Grimm]

do you get bear goggles

[chukamok]

do you get bear goggles

Yes, but they're polarized.

[Grimm]

Yes that's called a running joke, what whippersnappers today know as a "meme", though that's a debased usage.

[Confidence Interval]

My whole life is a debased usage.

Hey Cons, you couldn't put your hand to a copy of the album "Larn Yersel' Geordie" could you?

I should think not. Jocks and Geordies, as you may be aware, are sworn enemies.

[Grimm]

Ah yes, your severe ethnic hatred. I'd forgotten.
