Game designer Peter Molyneux is launching a series of video game experiments. The first one is called âCuriosityâ, and it has players chip away at a black cube to see the âtruly amazing, absolutely uniqueâ object inside. Molyneux is even offering a US$77,000 downloadable tool to help chip away at the cube.
Even though âCuriosityâ isnât out yet, game designer and academic Ian Bogost was curious to see how it would work in real lifeâor rather, his game Cow Clicker, which is a biting parody of social games. Bogostâs diamond encrusted clicker is a cool $10,000.

Bogost isnât looking to make a huge profit with the diamond clicker. âI mean, the most committed clickers have never spent a dollar,â Bogost told Kotaku. He thinks Molyneux will find the same is true.
But if someone with money bags comes along, Bogost knows exactly how heâd spend the ten grand: âIâd probably buy a sweet pro-grade gelato machine.â
