How many copies of Burger King's 2006 advergame Sneak King is too many? For AEW wrestler and reality show stuntman Leroy Patterson, the limit does not exist. Leroy joins us to discuss his nearly 3,000 copies of Sneak King, what it's really like to be a contestant on Wipeout, and why being a game tester is the worst job ever (spoiler: it involves squirrel speak).
We'll also be talking about Netflix's goal to be the "absolute best" gaming service, the three new Star Wars games announced by EA and Respawn (including a sequel to Jedi Fallen Order), how Activision Blizzard is refusing to acknowledge the Game Workers Alliance (the first-ever union for game workers), and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's new mystery movie that will be bringing "one of the biggest, most badass games to the screen."
Finally, class is in session with Professor Ryebread in our Gaming History 101 segment. In this episode, we're looking back at the legacy and lousy luck of Nolan Bushnell, the father of Atari and Chuck E. Cheese.
