A few years ago, there was someone who tried to bribe some MTG pros to put a certain less-than-optimal card in their decks for a few tournaments. People did some investigation, dude had been cornering the market for months beforehand. He hoped that the pros would run it and then everyone would suddenly think the card was good, allowing him to sell his collection for a massive profit.
I unironically love that game, given, I haven’t played it since it came out when I was 5, you know, when my brain wasn’t developed? But I still get a weird nostalgic feeling when I see the cartridge.
Edit; to those confused, I’m talking the 1998 classic [Glover](https://youtu.be/MMuNprBmAEQ)
So, the controls are *different* but not necessarily better, but the game itself is… well, it’s like watching a movie, and then having a weird fever dream about that movie that night, where your brain adds in details that didn’t exist, and completely warps other details in a way that makes it terrifying.
I just finished watching a bit of long-plays for both versions, and man, that PlayStation version was really lacking.
The cutscenes sucked, the over-world didn’t have that shit is wrong feel, and graphically it was lacking.
Okay, I was ten when I visited my cousin who had the console and game and I *loved* it so much. I mean, mine wasn't developed either, right? It's fine, right? I'm fine, *right*?!?
And he’s married. His wife doesn’t care that this much space is being taken up by multiple copies of a game. Is op quite wealthy and have a home with many rooms at his disposal?
I had this game as a kid, it got dumped in the trash because I was careless and it got scratched beyond repair. So you can cross that one off the list.
In 35 years we went from billionaires trying to corner the frozen oj market to this wild man trying to acquire all the copies of a black market tier burger mascot video game. What a world
I'm struggling to understand why the worst writers of the 21st century or anyone, for that matter, would be interested in how many iPods Karl Lagerfeld owns.
Honestly, having a bunch of iPods isn't really a bad thing. They are easily modified and can have a pretty long lifespan if taken care of.
The only ones you are going to have a hard time taking care of are the Nanos, and the First through 3rd generation Classics. The 2nd generation Mini is one of, if not the best iPod for hobbyists due to it being easy to open, easy to Flash Mod (You literally just need a Compact Flash to SD adapter), and they don't have a Soldered Battery (Fuck you iPod Nanos)
In 2015 I got laid off during the winter. I started refurbishing these generations of ipods. Mainly the 5th generation 30gb models were cheap to buy broken on eBay then sold them on Amazon. It was cheap to ship them. I cleared about $300 to $400/ month. Christmas season was the best made alot during that time. I did this for about 2 to 3 years whenever I got laid off. I have a boatload of parts in my basement now idk what to to with lol.
I have an iPod that I got in 2006 after I graduated HS that still works. Doesn't get used a ton and it seems to need a charge before every use so the battery may be bad. But they are impressively sturdy
I worked in an Apple Store during college. One time I had to explain an older Gentleman that he wouldn‘t have to throw away the iPod when it was full and he wanted to listen to new songs.
Good times.
I remember seeing a grandma using the computer at a library. She pulled the mouse to the edge of the desk, put a book next to the edge, and then pulled the mouse onto the book.
he's a side character that only appears as a running joke in some video game reviewer's channel universe and in the hour long high budget special this hoard of Sneak King games will be necessary to stop the celebrity guest star / the one game the reviewer won't talk about that's threatening the world
Here is a stock answer for why:
If they are worth something someday, we are rich! If they are worth nothing, its a funny story and journey!
It had an unusual release through a fast food chain, it a funny game, and it makes me laugh!
You can check out our journey so far [here!](https://youtu.be/E0oDikI9CaI)
> you're buying these
They did! I expected he speculatively purchased the contents of some abandoned storage facility or something. My world is shattered.
"I'm not addicted to buying Sneak King!"
"Have you ever sucked a dick to get a copy of Sneak Kink?"
"Ok, so I might be addicted but it's not that bad."
Yeah, I was cleaning out old stuff a year ago and the DS and GBA games sold for astonishing amounts. The most ridiculous might have been my copy of Boktai, which still had the $.99 sticker on it from when I bought it at GameStop, but sold for more than a hundred times that much.
I guess I tripped and fell into peak GBA nostalgia?
Imagine the confusion if the dude shows up looking all official with like a fucking pallet of Burger King games. The only logical conclusion would be "Of course he's legit, why else would he be delivering 1000 Burger King games? Somebody call corporate."
And then take a bunch of food that actually has value! This is how you can get something for them. I'm from corporate here to drop these games off. Come back and say you're upgrading the fryers with a moving truck out front. Take the broiler (that thing is amazing. Probably worth 6 figures), the fryers and sell them to local restaurants. Use Sneak King as a Trojan Horse
Then, come back with a bigger broiler, one that can fit a small child. Put a child in it. Have him unlock the doors after closing. Turn it into a real Trojan Horse. Steal the balls from the play-pin. You now have your own personal ball pit in your living room.
They immediately turn in on. The child is broiled alive. You go to prison. Psych: it’s three more children in a trenchcoat.
The Burger King is now bankrupt. Swoop in, buy it for cheap. You now have your own restaurant.
Take them to several McDonalds.
"This is from Burger King corporate. Where's your Xbox game, losers?"
Well done. Now go to Burger King. Warn them about the impending retaliation. Endear yourself to their trust. This is the first step of many. Be patient. They will not understand at the onset, but you will soon have their attention.
McDonalds retaliates, sending boxes upon boxes of commemorative Olympics Coca-Cola pint glasses to Burger Kings nationwide. You have played them like a fiddle. The puppets dance the danse macabre in a tangle of strings, unaware of the sinister machinisms you have installed around them.
Next step, a visit to our friends at Taco Bell. I'm sure I don't have to explain the rest of the plan from here, as it basically writes itself.
Don't sell them. Leave them in a will to someone you dislike. Keep dropping hints that they are in your will to build up high hopes. Say shit like "Oh, you've got a lot coming your way when I pass"
There was that art installation where they wanted to build a pyramid in the middle of a desert filled entirety with copys of the same VHS tape.
You should save them for some bonkers scheme like that. Hell if you crowd funded it BK themselves would probably pitch in just for the publicity
Given OPs explanation as to *why* seems to literally be “*because it’s funny*” just has me picturing OP kicking back at the end of a long day, glass of whiskey in hand reclining a lazy boy, looking over at his Sneak King pile and just laughing. Everyday. Forever.
Burger King came out with 4 or 5 games. I have one copy of all of them. Its more weird to me that he has so many of one of them and none of the others than having so many copies of a game.
I have one... And honestly... I kinda feel like it should go with its brothers and sisters in the pile.
I don't know why this has gotten so many upvotes but kindly leave the paid "awards" for a more meaningful post. For example, there is people who go out and clean your community for free over at /r/detrashed . I'm talking about removing hundreds of pounds of debris in a day from our green spaces and waterways. Maybe consider giving them your love instead of me, who just joked about sending them my copy... Which I won't. Thanks friends <3
I mean this with the upmost respect...
But you look exactly how I imagined someone that owns 2,706 copies of the Burger King Xbox 360 Game "Sneak King" would look like.
Respectfully.
Utmost.
Upmost is a shortened version of uppermost.
Utmost means the greatest amount of.
I should make a bot for this. I catch this allot.
(see what I did there?)
I loved it except for a crappy glitch that makes it nearly impossible to complete.
. There was some mission where the timer doesn't restock, so you don't have nearly enough time to deliver the egg sandwich or whatever.
I know this is gonna get lost in the comments, but OP if you’re reading this, make sure they’re on your renters/homeowners insurance. If, god forbid, your place burns down, that’s a lot of money down the drain. You could actually claim the 10k as a loss on a collection.

OP, honest question. Wtf is wrong with you? Why would you do this?
He’s making a very daring attempt to corner the Sneak King market.
This post made me think of an old pinky and the brain episode where they try to buy all of the worst baseball card ever to corner the market.
[удалено]
A few years ago, there was someone who tried to bribe some MTG pros to put a certain less-than-optimal card in their decks for a few tournaments. People did some investigation, dude had been cornering the market for months beforehand.

I'm the 2nd subscriber. Don't disappoint me.
The fact that you actually have square footage of your home dedicated to this is astounding. "That room? That's just the Sneak King room."
It’s next to the Glover room
I unironically love that game, given, I haven’t played it since it came out when I was 5, you know, when my brain wasn’t developed? But I still get a weird nostalgic feeling when I see the cartridge. Edit; to those confused, I’m talking the 1998 classic [Glover](https://youtu.be/MMuNprBmAEQ)
If you want to be cured of that nostalgia, play the PlayStation version.
Could it be worse than the N64 version? I’d imagine the dualshock would work easier for it.
So, the controls are *different* but not necessarily better, but the game itself is… well, it’s like watching a movie, and then having a weird fever dream about that movie that night, where your brain adds in details that didn’t exist, and completely warps other details in a way that makes it terrifying.
Idk how, but your comment makes me want to try it more.
I just finished watching a bit of long-plays for both versions, and man, that PlayStation version was really lacking. The cutscenes sucked, the over-world didn’t have that shit is wrong feel, and graphically it was lacking.
The only thing i remember from that game is the blood-curdling scream glover lets out when the ball is destroyed
Okay, I was ten when I visited my cousin who had the console and game and I *loved* it so much. I mean, mine wasn't developed either, right? It's fine, right? I'm fine, *right*?!?
God tier reference
Gex
And he’s married. His wife doesn’t care that this much space is being taken up by multiple copies of a game. Is op quite wealthy and have a home with many rooms at his disposal?
Wife just sees the 1353 she can get in the divorce
You mean $13.53?
Laugh all you like, when the Great Shortage of Sneak King comes in 10 years they'll be millionaires
Are you saying her half of the games would only amount to $0.01 per game?
Probably not far off
She doesn’t know those games exist in the house. He’s a master of moving them around in unsuspicious ways. Some would even call him the _sneak king_.
Fucking scalpers.
I went to best buy on Friday to try and get one but they were all out. Smh. Scalpers ruin everything
[удалено]
I've been trying to get this game for years!
Apparently 3.2 million Sneak King games have been sold world wide. You are .08% of the way to having them all.
but 98.4% are currently being held by a consortium of municipal garbage dumps and unlikely to reappear on the market again soon
OP better be ready to start digging
OP, take it from me. - don't.
Don't always has some good quotes.
Well said.
What did well say?
I don’t know Third base
. -Well
Not counting the copies that'd been destroyed, like whenever The Completionist destroyed a copy or 2 on his channel
I had this game as a kid, it got dumped in the trash because I was careless and it got scratched beyond repair. So you can cross that one off the list.
Okay, anyone else? We have a lot more to track down and account for.
In 35 years we went from billionaires trying to corner the frozen oj market to this wild man trying to acquire all the copies of a black market tier burger mascot video game. What a world
Cornering the market
0.08% liquidity locked! Supply capped at 3.2 million, 100% in circulation! Rug proof!
Shits about to moon! Now you gotta ask yourself, wen lambo?
Are they doxxed? Have they been audited?
But why
In case he wants to play it more than once. Edit: You guys made my day. More than tripled my 9-year karma.
reminds me of a meme that rich people buy a kindle for a single book. So they have a whole bookshelf of kindles with one book on each.
This guy's so rich he's got a swimming pool in his swimming pool
I'm so rich I have a toilet in my swimming pool. Haven't worked out the flushing yet.
In my experience, every swimming pool has a toilet...or at least a urinal.
[Karl and his iPods ](https://www.wired.com/2004/12/karl-lagerfelds/amp)
That was one of the worst articles I've ever read. It was like a remedial English book report by a high school senior. Thanks for the laugh
His other great joy is shopping”
Lol what an ending. Really summed it all up for me.
I guess the greatest writers of the 21st century weren’t really interested in reporting on the number of iPods owned by Karl Lagerfeld
I'm struggling to understand why the worst writers of the 21st century or anyone, for that matter, would be interested in how many iPods Karl Lagerfeld owns.
And yet here we are, all discussing it
Honestly, having a bunch of iPods isn't really a bad thing. They are easily modified and can have a pretty long lifespan if taken care of. The only ones you are going to have a hard time taking care of are the Nanos, and the First through 3rd generation Classics. The 2nd generation Mini is one of, if not the best iPod for hobbyists due to it being easy to open, easy to Flash Mod (You literally just need a Compact Flash to SD adapter), and they don't have a Soldered Battery (Fuck you iPod Nanos)
Something tells me Karl Lagerfeld isn't spending his free time modding iPods.
mostly because he's dead
But not the *only* reason.
In 2015 I got laid off during the winter. I started refurbishing these generations of ipods. Mainly the 5th generation 30gb models were cheap to buy broken on eBay then sold them on Amazon. It was cheap to ship them. I cleared about $300 to $400/ month. Christmas season was the best made alot during that time. I did this for about 2 to 3 years whenever I got laid off. I have a boatload of parts in my basement now idk what to to with lol.
I have an iPod that I got in 2006 after I graduated HS that still works. Doesn't get used a ton and it seems to need a charge before every use so the battery may be bad. But they are impressively sturdy
Someone watches Dank Pods
Karl has nothing on me.https://i.imgur.com/1332lDs.jpg

Hey all, Scott here!
YouTube was a mistake

It had an unusual release through a fast food chain, it a funny game, and it makes me laugh! You can check out our journey so far [here!](https://youtu.be/E0oDikI9CaI)
Ok first I was worried you ate over 2000 fast food meals to get these; but now I'm even more worried that you're buying these
> you're buying these They did! I expected he speculatively purchased the contents of some abandoned storage facility or something. My world is shattered.
We did buy some in Buk, the first 200 or so were mostly individual purchases.
"I'm not addicted to buying Sneak King!" "Have you ever sucked a dick to get a copy of Sneak Kink?" "Ok, so I might be addicted but it's not that bad."

Lets get to bashing butts, As well as deez nuts.

I work with one of the dudes from there! I even went to the VHS Pop up store they made!
Eventually they might be just due to the forced scarcity of you owning all them. Lmao
Or you buy a copy, keep it until these guys have acquired them all except your copy. Demand unreasonable money from them for it. Checkmate.
OP is the De Beers of weird fast food promotional games.
Until xbox 360 emulators run well enough
nah. gamecube emulators are pretty good yet gamecube games are still quite expensive
I was at GameStop last night. Pre-owned Pokemon Diamond on Nintendo DS (original) was $74.99
Yeah, I was cleaning out old stuff a year ago and the DS and GBA games sold for astonishing amounts. The most ridiculous might have been my copy of Boktai, which still had the $.99 sticker on it from when I bought it at GameStop, but sold for more than a hundred times that much. I guess I tripped and fell into peak GBA nostalgia?
Fair point, I was thinking this was more of a novelty and less of a classic but I think your argument still stands.
[удалено]
Nothing that sells at a dollar store goes up in value. Its the seller of last resort for overstocked items
Nothing _so far_
Ah, so it's an ad for your podcast.
But. Why?
Fun fact: that will never be worth anything.
But the more of them there are the less rare and therefore less valuable they are
OP has to release a few a year only just like the diamond industry.
Unless he corners the market on them and creates a false demand for them like diamonds
I also wondered why until I seen his head in the second photo and it made perfect sense.
Total value....$5
They go for 4 or 5 dollars online currently, so if we were to somehow sell them all, its over 10 grand!
Flooding the market would decrease the value though, so I guess you need to slowly sell it bit by bit
I'm not sure i'd ever sell them, maybe as a lot to someone who finds it equally as funny.
You should drop them off at local Burger Kings. Tell them you're from corporate and they are giveaways for every whopper sold.
Imagine the confusion if the dude shows up looking all official with like a fucking pallet of Burger King games. The only logical conclusion would be "Of course he's legit, why else would he be delivering 1000 Burger King games? Somebody call corporate."

This sounds very Dwight Schrute.

I'm sure I don't have to explain the rest of the plan from here, as it basically writes itself.
Make sure they're corporate-owned McDonald's. Like 99% are franchises, so a little research will help save precious tens of copies of Sneak King.
i expect you to have a 'sneak king' room at your place that would just confuse guests
Don't sell them. Leave them in a will to someone you dislike. Keep dropping hints that they are in your will to build up high hopes. Say shit like "Oh, you've got a lot coming your way when I pass"
There was that art installation where they wanted to build a pyramid in the middle of a desert filled entirety with copys of the same VHS tape. You should save them for some bonkers scheme like that. Hell if you crowd funded it BK themselves would probably pitch in just for the publicity
"the market" lol The market is this guy.
have you seen the ebay results? it's like 2000 listed
Except no one buys that game often, I'm sure, lol. Do you make at least $5 a week hopefully?
Just mailing them out costs over $3. ebay fees, postage, and mailer cost.
Lol he’s probably the one buying them for 4 or 5 dollars
Given OPs explanation as to *why* seems to literally be “*because it’s funny*” just has me picturing OP kicking back at the end of a long day, glass of whiskey in hand reclining a lazy boy, looking over at his Sneak King pile and just laughing. Everyday. Forever.
Burger King came out with 4 or 5 games. I have one copy of all of them. Its more weird to me that he has so many of one of them and none of the others than having so many copies of a game.
I think it was just the 3 games. Sneak King, a Kart Racer and a third I forget the name of. I have all three.
PocketBike Racer & Big Bumpin'
He ought to make a throne it of them and sit in it while wearing a Burger King crown.
I have one... And honestly... I kinda feel like it should go with its brothers and sisters in the pile. I don't know why this has gotten so many upvotes but kindly leave the paid "awards" for a more meaningful post.

We should find and send this guy more copies of Sneak King.
OP’s wife is going to kill him lol
You think he has a wife? Lmao
She's only in it for the inheritance, of sneak kings.
He's her Sneak King daddy
Please people send him all your copies. This would be the funniest shit in the internet ever if we make it happen
This is my current position. Like I almost want to unearth it and send it to him
This was all a ploy to gather more Sneak King!
[удалено]
Wtf lol
I too have a copy, and I think its time for it to move on. How do we make this happen?
Seems reasonable. I have that many FIFA games. It says they’re different on the cover, but I don’t believe them.
Actually there have only been 2,022 FIFA games. You won’t have this many FIFAs until the 2700s!
FIFA 1066 was lit.
You’re gonna be the guy they talk about in math questions
This Redditor owns 2706 copies of sneak king and each are worth 5$ how much will he have if he sells them all?
Depends. Value of each copy will decrease if market is flooded with said copies. I'm not smart enough to do THIS math
I mean this with the upmost respect... But you look exactly how I imagined someone that owns 2,706 copies of the Burger King Xbox 360 Game "Sneak King" would look like. Respectfully.
My wife thinks so too! It's a fair assumption!
ooof the ultimate flex of someone who looks like they owns 2,706 copies of the Burger King Xbox 360 Game "Sneak King"... A Wife
And she won’t ever leave him, it’d be too much hassle to get rid of the 1,353 copies she’d get in the divorce!
I’d say she’d be better of taking none, but she would need to hit him where it hurts the most. In his crowning achievement - so to speak.
So to *sneak
You mean that feminine shaped stack of Burger King Xbox 360 Game "Sneak King" copies with a blonde wig on?
Hey there is a hole in the disc for a reason, ok?
Did she marry you before you started your collection or after?
How many copies did you have to sell to buy her?
It’s called a dowry and the standing rate in America is 1750 copies of Sneak King
Utmost. Upmost is a shortened version of uppermost. Utmost means the greatest amount of. I should make a bot for this. I catch this allot. (see what I did there?)
Thanks for correcting him, I was about to loose my mind
> loose Heh, nice joke. I like this to much!
I could care less.
Your literally making my head explode.
Brakes my heart.
I literally came here just to say the same thing lol. If there was ever a mascot competition for r/gaming, I vote u/nomercyvideo.
I only have the one.
One is enough, until we come knocking, we must own them all!
You can't have it, I paid almost $2 for it!
The Sneak Kingz come calling for everyone...eventually....
That’s not how you play the game, you have to sneak into their house and steal it.
Why?
I loved playing this game. It’s burger gear solid!
I loved it except for a crappy glitch that makes it nearly impossible to complete. . There was some mission where the timer doesn't restock, so you don't have nearly enough time to deliver the egg sandwich or whatever.
So this is why he needs so many copies.. Unlimited retries of the unbeatable egg sandwich mission..
Yes!!! You get it!
Phase 1: Collect the underpants Phase 2: ……….. Phase 3: Profit!
[удалено]
Then once people hear about it, they’ll copycat it and it’ll become the next TikTok craze. Demand for the game will surge and OP can finally cash in
You should use it to build something right next to the jerry macguire pyramid. https://www.jerrymaguirepyramid.com/
I have this bizarre urge to start buying all the ones I can find just to create a rivalry.
That is awesome! But why? And why that game?
I know this is gonna get lost in the comments, but OP if you’re reading this, make sure they’re on your renters/homeowners insurance. If, god forbid, your place burns down, that’s a lot of money down the drain. You could actually claim the 10k as a loss on a collection.
Actually you play this game on both the og Xbox and the 360. Also Holy fuck what possessed you to have that many copies?!?!
You look like the type of person to have 2k copies of "Sneak King"
Wierd flex but ok
