You may recall that back in February we shared a video of
CollegeHumor’s SNES-style Breaking Bad RPG. Well today we bring you the
latest gag from the same team this time centering around HBO’s critically
acclaimed show The Wire. Spanning all 5 seasons, all your favorite characters
are here representing both sides of the law including Omar, Bubbles, McNulty,
Marlo and more. Dubbed as Evil vs. slightly less evil the tongue and cheek
video is a must for fans of the Baltimore crime series.
Here is something fun from the folks at CollegeHumor for all you Breaking Bad fans out there. What we have is a video game that takes the story of AMC’s truly excellent drama and turns it into a SNES-style RPG. I kind of wish this actually existed past concept.
The video begins by offering the "player" a choice between three character classes: 'good' (no characters available) 'evil' (no characters available) and 'morally ambiguous' (the entire regular cast). After choosing everybody's favorite anti-hero, Walter White, the "game" starts with the character being given the news that he has cancer. After being presented with a $90,000 bill. a moral conundrum appears. "What do you want to do?" requests the game, "ask for help? accept fate? or cook meth." After the inevitable choice is made, we're treated to a simplified walkthrough of the show's storyline, featuring spot on retro rendered 16-bit Albuquerquean locales, epic battle scenes, and even a Gale Boetticher mini-game called “Gale Hunt”.
