Talk:Cow Clicker

Original reference
The original blog entry about Cow Clicker is available at http://www.bogost.com/blog/cow_clicker_1.shtml ... I added it as one of the references, and I think it belongs there. I suppose the counter-argument is that it's a "self-referential" reference ... but then again, I fail to understand how an article referencing the original blog post can be a better reference than the original blog post itself when it comes to backing up claims like "Bogost is a critic of social network games that are free of challenges and demand little more than clicking on things at regular intervals."

Except for that, the article has definitively been improved since my last edit. Keep up the good work! :-)

More references
Here are a few more refs that could be used: --Odie5533 (talk) 06:55, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
 * The Psychology Of: free-to-play
 * Curious? You Can Blow $10,000 on this In-Game Clicker
 * It’s Official: Clicking on Cows is a “Thing”
 * This Week In Video Game Criticism: From Cow Clicker To Cruelty Scale
 * Finally, A Video Game Article That is Also a Video Game
 * In Cow ClickARG, the Cowpocalypse is Nigh
 * Another important reference is Play Anything: The Pleasure of Limits, the Uses of Boredom, and the Secret of Games (though it is a primary source). In particular, Bogost calls Cookie Clicker "the logical conclusion to Cow Clicker" and the book could be a starting point for a section in the article on Cow Clicker's impact on the idle game movement. — Bilorv(talk)(c)(e) 15:22, 29 July 2017 (UTC)
