[Video Link] College Humor's RPG video game parody of Breaking Bad is spot on. Contains spoilers of all kinds.

    Fantastic!  Mark

  • chellberty

    there is already game series with the guy from breaking bad, Just beg valve to make hl3 ;)

  • SamSam

    Em… can anyone who’s watched this tell me what seasons this spoils? I’ve only seen up til the end of season three on Netflix…

    But f*****ck! When looking to remind myself of what season I had seen til on the Wikipedia page, I read the first sentence of season four by mistake. Damn damn damn spoilers…

    (Mod note: That’s “fartsack” hidden by asterisks above.) 

    • BookGuy

      SamSam, it has bits from everything up to and including last season’s finale.  Don’t do it!

    • knightsbridge

      How could you stop watching BB ? Too bad it’s spoiled I watched 2 seasons in 3 days a few years ago.

  • Melinda9

    Can’t thinks of anything else to say, but thanks. (It was a bad-ish day.)

  • ryan4isu

    Anyone else notice an 8-bit Tamacun by Rodrigo y Gabriela at 1:49?

  • Halloween Jack

    Pretty funny, but could have included more of Walter’s chronic MacGuyverism. 

  • Jorpho

    Much as I’d like to watch this, the fantastic “Battlestar Galactica RPG” vid from a little while ago would have completely spoiled everything for me if I hadn’t seen it already, and I might still want to watch Breaking Bad someday.

      I hate to say it, but you’re absolutely right, this one’s going to have to wait. Breaking Bad is consistently the ONLY show I care about having spoiled…

  • teapot

    My last 3 weeks have been a Breaking Bad marathon. I too got burned by the internet re: spoilers but the the best thing about Breaking Bad is that while the storyline’s arc is predictable, the pathway to the conclusion is always surprising.

    Nitpick: Gomez isn’t there when the turtle incident happens.

    Anyone got any idea when S5 is airing?? Im jonesing bad.

    Jack: Totally agree… they should’ve used “exploding meth” instead of “hat” item.

    • knightsbridge

      This summer. Probably July 2012. Like season 4. Have a long way. 5 months.

  • sidereal

    Oohh.  Headline should read ‘as a CRPG’.  I was thinking they’d be sitting around a table rolling up characters in the Breaking Bad universe.  “I’ll play a meth-head!  Who’ll be the healer?”  It has a potential.

  • gokid

    GAH! Where was the spoiler alert if I’m not all caught up yet!?!?!?!

    • Jorpho

      Right below the vid, where it says “Contains spoilers of all kinds”. ;-)

      • gokid

        Eow… Right… Excitement clearly got the best of me…

  • knightsbridge

    Have to see this again on my lap top.’looks amazing.

  • knightsbridge

    Fabulous fabulous loved Gabriela and rodrigo music. Keeps me smiling while waiting for season 5. Brilliant mark
