Author Message   86129squids Posted on Friday, November 18, 2011 - 04:43 pm:        OK, I'm probably the only one here who JUST heard this (I'm listening to the NPR news as I type this)... Running up to the 430 hour, they had a piece on an internet game, called "Cow Clicker". If you missed it, OMG, I was cracked up listening to this! Since this was JUST on the latest NPR feed, it's not up as text or audio yet... (I looked, because it was so frickin hilarious...) Apparently the audio will be up after 7PM EST. I'll take another listen later... http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?story Id=142518949 Anyone familiar with this? Froggy??   Froggy Posted on Friday, November 18, 2011 - 04:52 pm:        Looks interesting, I've grown to hate Zynga, and this Cow Clicker was made as a mockery of them, so I'll have to check it out.   86129squids Posted on Friday, November 18, 2011 - 04:59 pm:        Frogs, PLEASE go listen to the story when you can... you of all peeps will be in the floor, drooling and convulsing with laughter...   Boogiman1981 Posted on Saturday, November 19, 2011 - 12:10 am:        Squids that was hysterical   86129squids Posted on Sunday, November 20, 2011 - 11:05 am:        Well, they ran the piece again just now on "On The Media"... got a good laugh all over again. I gotta say this Bogost fella, as a game designer, is someone I'll have to keep tabs on... C'mon BW gamers, check it out- a good laugh a day is good for ya!   Johnnylunchbox Posted on Sunday, November 20, 2011 - 12:09 pm:        If you hated Zynga before, you'll loathe it now. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/11/20/nyregion/kati-lo ndon-puts-zynga-business-aside-on-sundays.html?_r= 2&ref=sundayroutine I can't believe the NY Times writes these pretentious puff pieces. Who admires these people? No wonder the rest of the country hates NY. What a self-important arse.   Boogiman1981 Posted on Sunday, November 20, 2011 - 02:39 pm:        Wtf was that?   Froggy Posted on Sunday, November 20, 2011 - 02:56 pm:        I was just at the eye doctor, obviously I reek of nerd, the doc asks "did you hear about this new Facebook game", I interrupted and said "Cow Clicker?", she was like "yea I heard about it on NPR this morning. How did you know?" Thank you squids, not only do I look like a nerd, I now look like a telepath.   Johnnylunchbox Posted on Sunday, November 20, 2011 - 05:17 pm:        Boogiman, that's one of the Zynga designers.   86129squids Posted on Sunday, November 20, 2011 - 11:26 pm:        Heck Frank, aren't you a telepath by now anyhoo? Glad you went to the eye doctor- I'm bat blind until I get my glasses on, then I've got 20/15, vision... if I put my contacts in, I've got 20/10. Soren Kierkegaard once said "The ear is the truest of the senses."
