20 times cheaper than the bling cow, but also 20 times more awesome.Big_H said:
I have a reason to click!
Whoa whoa whoa.
Susan Arendt plays FrontierVille?
[HEADING=1]I thought I loved you Susan! D':[/HEADING]
I kid I kid XD
OT: I think this game is brilliant! Being British, I do love a little bit of satire in my life ^^
Been known to from time to time, yep. The animation when you have to scare off a bear is hysterical - just ask Funk - the fox looks like he's on heroin, and you collect poop. It's a hoot. It's also a fun way to interact with other game journos and game devs.Simalacrum said:
I am certainly interested to see how far this goes. Facebook applications are popular in part because they are based on social networking. Friends helping friends. Cow Clicker seems to be nothing more than clicking, which is pretty sub-par even by the standards of the extremely casual games on Facebook. It's been no secret that even such casual games can be played in a very hardcore way, but Cow Clicker is something in a league of it's own. Something that surpasses casual in a way that leads me to think that it's not a proper satire of Facebook games in general.
Well, it's still not that that will make my Facebook account stop being a deserted wasteland. You need a little more than a chocolate cow to do that.
Not much more, though. Chocolate cows are pretty awesome.

While Facebook is one of those things that I think of primarily as a content-delivery platform to gin up interest in my other projects among my friends and not as a gaming platform, I nonetheless took a valuable thing away from Mr. Funk's latest article, specifically:
I REALLY like the use of the term "lifestyle" rather than "hardcore" gamer. Far fewer potty-mouthed-kid-on-Live connotations. I shall eagerly adopt this term as part of my self-description.

Any news I stumble across during the rest of the week will be suffering some serious competition in the "making me laugh the hardest" category, as this is absolutely brilliant. I think I will point it out to those folks I know who are inexplicably obsessed with Mafia Wars and the like.
To err is human; to moo bovine.

Haha I love satire and already love this game, but they need to release more satire/parody games for popular genres.
