What is the rook?

I must have missed it but they mentioned it on twitter, then today in the game "God" mentioned it, but I don't know what it is. Did i miss something?

  • I'm guessing it's some Force of Darkness that needs to be overcome, but that could be way off-base.

  • i think it shows up when parts of the game world are neglected.

    it is not a force for good.

  • You can think of The Rook as eating the imagination of the Giants and thereby destroying bits of the world. It is like the personification of fear or self-doubt – the anti-creativity which threatens the world of the Giants' minds.

    It is *almost* complete, but in the meantime, here's a little taste: s3.amazonaws.com/dburka/roo...

  • Rooks aren't a problem. They can only move forward, backwards and sideways. We can move diagonally. Checkmate.

  • That rook looks a lot like local Austin bird called a grackle. They aren't harbingers of doom so much as delivers of bird poop. Lots of it. Especially when you are running across campus to class, through the gackle gauntlet near Gregory Gym.

    (still po'd, 20 years later).

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commo... --see internal reference to Austin, TX grackle population.

  • Sorry I missed them. They remind me of the only really scary scenes in the otherwise cheesy TV version of The Stand.
