11 nerds and spices
Just earlier today, before lunch, I was thinking to myself, “What a boring-ass day. There is nothing that could happen today that would make this day not-boring. What a waste.”
As though he were an angel watching down from fast-food heaven with a bucket of good news to shovel into my gaping maw, Jonathan Holmes sent me this. As a warning, what you’re about to watch could be considered NSFW depending on how turned on you get by ridiculous shit:
Player One has entered the game.
KFC x Gaming, a match made in heaven.

That’s right folks, KFC is allegedly getting into gaming. And I know we’re all thinking the same thing here: What the hell took so long?
While fast food chains getting into gaming may be old hat at this point withYo! Noidprobably starting the craze back in 1990 (you can correct me if I’m wrong in the comments below because I’m not doing anymore research into this topic as my life is already in shambles), Burger King took shit to the next level in 2006 with its trio of horribly fantastic games.PocketBike RacerandBig Bumpin’were fine, I guess, but the true star of that terrible experiment wasSneak King.
If you’re unfamiliar withSneak King, shame on you. Being able to control The King as he snuck around giving regular people two heart attacks — first by scaring the shit out of them by popping out from a trash can while they were just trying to walk to fucking work, and then by making them eat Burger King’s salty, calorie-ridden food — is the pinnacle of gaming.
How does The Colonel compete with The King at this point? While having a 12-year upgrade in technology could prove to be an advantage, the fact is that KFC is already at a huge disadvantage in that The Colonel is just ill-suited to out-ridiculous the majesty that isSneak King.
They’reno strangerstogaming culture, but nothing could really shock me unless ol’ Sanders stars in a full-onKatamari Damacyclone where you must roll up chicken breasts in levels full of things that could be considered spicy in order to make the perfect recipe.
And even still, they’d still be under the scrutinous shadow of The King.
