Video: 'Breaking Bad" Reinterpreted As A Retro RPG

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”.

Listen: Oneohtrix Point Never - "Replica" LP

Stream Oneohtrix Point Never aka Daniel Lopatin's, of Ford & Lopatin and Games fame, album "Replica" in its entirety below.  Aside from the title track there's not much going on in the percussion section, yet Lopatin keeps his rhythm with sharp edits and clicks dissecting his long drones and atmospherics.  The album will release on November 8th on Mexican Summer
