I read about conkers a while ago, just to find out how Conker the video game character got his name. Sounds kinda gay.

I don't think Conker, the character, was named after the game, just after conkers in general. Yes, I used to play conkers as a child (as did everyone), but not anymore.

I always though playing conkers was tying them to a string and fighting with them. lol
