Giant Bomb Video Game News

Video Game News, Stories and Updates for the PS3, XBOX 360, PC, PSP, Wii, and DS

The Giant Bomb staff would like to officially salute Kotaku's Michael McWhertor for trying the big, awful-looking Guitar Hero-themed KFC meal so that we don't have to.

It looks like paying $7.99 to be kicked in the stomach until you cough up blood. It makes the KFC Famous Bowl look dainty and dignified by comparison. Thankfully, we will never have to know for ourselves. Instead we can continue staring down the barrel of a Pizza Hut Macaroni & Cheese With Bacon "pasta" thing, which isn't game-related unless you consider stunt eating to be a game.

For the record, stunt eating is not a game.

I don't give a shit what McWhertor says. I still want that. I realize that its about the most unhealthy thing you could possibly eat but life is too short to count calories. Well, I guess, not counting calories would make it even shorter....Oh, well. Fuck you guys. It looks awesome.

7.99 seems fair to me. Shame it lacks campy Burger-King-like games that had achievement points.

That's alot of good food for only like $8.00. And just for the record, I love those famous bowls.

I think I have lived in the south for too long. Aside from the odd inclusion of a sandwich, the rest of that looks like a pretty standard chicken finger plate, of course served with sweet tea.

me and my roommates walked over to KFC last night to have it. The actual amount of food in the box looks underwhelming in comparison to the pictures though I was the only one of the three to actually finish it...or not feel sick to my stomach. The box has a $5 coupon for Guitar Hero World Tour on the back and one of my roommates won a "small potato wedge" with his meal.

You guys are probably better off without the 7 billion calories.

I'd totally max that, especially after pot, but before guitar hero.
