A surprise trip back to Derry, an emo album from Wendy’s, and a fast-food RPG. Somehow, this is all one episode. 😂
This week on Gameoration, Taylor and Dre talk about the surprise 30-minute special A Story of Derry before heading somewhere equally unexpected: Wendy’s parking lot.
Wendy’s has entered its emo era with Songs to Listen to in a Wendy’s Parking Lot, and its upcoming Steam RPG, WendyQuest: Legend of the Four Corner Stones, has us wondering who gave a burger chain permission to understand our hobbies this well.
That sends Taylor down a rabbit hole exploring the history of real-world brands in video games. Food mascots, playable advertisements, and companies turning your console into a commercial break—marketing really has never known any bounds.
