Meet the Facebook Game That Mocks Facebook Games

[Baldry]

I'm going to go buy a rope and get on my chair.

Honestly this is very disappointing and if any of my friends play it, I will slap them.

But since it's an ironic jab at Facebook games, it's ok right? This is the only Facebook game I could stomach because it's hilarious.

But I doubt the "creator" of this "game" really meant for it to be ironic and the fact that they don't need to put any effort into the game for people to want to play it baffles me.

This is going to end poorly. It's going to be like the Stanford prison experiment. Bogost starts out with the hope of exposing certain dark truths, but he's going to be sucked into the mentality of Zynga whispering "F*** the Users" in his sleep. Pretty soon masses of people everywhere are going to be huddled around computers clicking cows and Bogost is going to be that guy at the end of "The Bridge on the River Kwai" saying "what have I done?"

Either way, it's going to be hilarious to watch.

But... that was the creator's intention... You did read the blog post that was linked in this article, right? Or even this article itself, which described the game as "designed to poke fun at Facebook games as well as act as a case study on those who play them"? I don't want to sound confrontational, but I think you may have overlooked a couple things. Heck, even the title "Meet the Facebook Game That Mocks Facebook Games" says something

Touché sir, I did skim over it.

My God...what hath this man rot? I have to forget about this game, if I tell my friends about it I'll start getting dozens of Cow Clicker posts on my wall just to spite me...

How can you know the word "wrought", yet not know how to write it? How does that work?

It works when you've been cruising on caffeine for twenty hours and just got off a ten hour shift at work, I hath no patience for spelling when tired.
