Breaking Bad as an 8-bit RPG.

When it got to season 3 I laughed out loud. Still, I'm disappointed this was a video and not a playable game.

Breaking bad as a 16-bit RPG. Carry on.

I want to play this! They did it with The Room, why not this?

Look out! He's wearing a hat, man!

Also I snorted hot coffee out of my nose at GALE HUNT.

Hahah. Walter Jrs quest. So true, he was pretty much eating breakfast in almost every scene he was in.

Wasn't it already?

These are halfway clever, but starting to get a little old.

Contains season 4 spoilers, for anyone limited to watching it on Netflix...

Probably at the top of the list of things I didn't need to see this morning: a naked man in a ski mask straddling a bear's head.

I guess those ads rotate, which is good.

I might as well post this question here. XMLicious, is there anywhere to watch season 4 online?

The 16-bit version of TV on the Radio was the highlight for me.

I did quite enjoy the way that as soon as he agreed to make meth for Gus, the "No" option disappeared.

I haven't looked.

...bitch.

Possibly one of the most brilliant things ever. They got the living room/kitchen/breakfast nook down perfect.

I want to love these things as I did the first Game of Thrones one, but they've really been diminishing returns for me... bitch.

I liked the chiptunes version of Tamacun. Breaking Bad has such great music.

XMLicious, is there anywhere to watch season 4 online?

It's on iTunes.

I wanted to love it. You've unlocked HEISENBERG! . . . bitch. Gale hunt. Walt Jr's quest. I was even going to accept that Skyler knew about Jane.

But it just didn't do season 4 well.

My favourite part is the part with the hat. Because, like, seriously. He looks like Duckie or Joey MacIntyre or something. Or Debbie Gibson. Basically, it's perfect out-of-touch-middle-aged-high-school-teacher-pretending-he's-a-badass hat. Kudos, costume designer!

Also, I just noticed that "Very Mary-Kate" looks exactly like Hank's wife.

I really wanted to see half of Gus' face missing at the end. Pretty good, even the video-game illiterate mrs mcable thought it was funny, although I had to explain Gail Hunt.

Pretty sure the only way to do season 4 justice would be to REPLAY ALL OF SEASON 4.

One thing I love about the show is the lack of extraneous bullshit. Weird sub-plots and small details all seem to come back around and matter by the end of the season.

I watched it all on Project Free TV. DVDs come out in March I think.
