Colonel Sanders gives Neon Genesis Evangelion a makeover to the bewilderment and delight of Japanese netizens.
A day after releasing news of its behemoth patch on Xbox 360, the folks who make Backbreaker say its free iPhone version has picked up a Kentucky Fried Chicken sponsorship. Runners will now celebrate with, what else, the Chicken Dance.

This Sunday I facetiously suggested that an Activision game tester had claimed the world record fastest time for eating a horrible meat sandwich called the Double Down. Disney Interactive Studios wants it known they have just obliterated the mark.

Two Activision game testers staged a speed-eating competition of the KFC culinary profanity known as the Double Down, with the winner polishing it off in 57.97 seconds. Video inside, plus my review of the “sandwich.”
When word broke that the KFC-Activision partnership had resulted in more than just Guitar Hero World Tour in-game advertising, with a Guitar Hero branded “Fully Loaded Box Meal” hitting the fast food chain, we decided to strap on the feedbag and test it out for ourselves. The meal consists of seven levels: a “KFC snacker” sandwich, two chicken strips, a drumstick or thigh, a biscuit, two sides and a 32 ounce soft drink. It should give you serious pause at about 1200 calories, as advertised, not including the high fructose corn syrup laden soda of your choice.
We’ll walk you through the meal after the jump.
In September, we learned that Activision were cosying up to the late, great Colonel Sanders, in order to put together a Guitar Hero-themed fast food deal. Today, we see the results: the Guitar Hero Fully Loaded Box Meal.
Everyone:
Leave Kotaku Football Conference. The new league with a more reasonable schedule is KFC Kotaku Football.
If you joined the first league, email me at owenATkotakuDOTcom with the subject header Changing Leagues and your gamertag so I can send you the password for the new league.
And to EA: You could have done much, much better with the documentation on creating this league and what your choices mean. I’m sure I’m not the only one who thought 11 meant an 11 game season, plus playoffs.
