The "story" was probably one of the most awful parts about the game. Watching Cain, a wizard whose survived two hell invasions, die to a giant fucking sparkly fairy felt like Blizzard was actively trolling me.

Watched episode two of this, was marginally better than last season. Does it get better as the season progresses? If it stays the same, or improves slightly, I'll probably stick with it. The reduction in Romcom, and ridiculous sorkanism intellectual tourettes tirades seem to have been curtailed...

The thing is, D2 wasn't about taking out a crazy elite--it was about figuring out the fastest way to constantly pull the lever. D2's "fun" was all efficiency based, it was a classic Skinner's Box. It rewarded you irregularly BUT just enough to drive you to attempt to get rewards more (In other...

D2 was far closer to a proper Skinner's Box than D3. In fact, one of D3's fundamental design flaws was that is that's it's irregularity was too great to be conducive to opperant conditioning--so you were left with too little stimuli, or getting gold, which is consistent stimuli (And so doesn't...

Yep, removing the AH, but adding in plenty of quested BoA drops and BoE (Effectively since classes will need to primary stat swap, all gear you use will be bound) gear has made it less like WoW.Okay. This game just became tremendously more like WoW with these changes, removal of the AH doesn't...

Yeah, from everything I've read, Solar could be viable anywhere--the problem is just storage and conduction of use. We could easily power the entire U.S., forever, with just a small fraction of our unused land--the problem is moving moving and storing the juice to where it's needed. Our...

Exactly my thoughts.

As for the Walt/Jesse rescue, not sure. But he doesn't need to rescue Jesse to want to come back. Hank's death scene, was extremely similar to the Gustavo's "Hermanos" death scene (Brothers, He's my brother ect). After that scene, remember, Gus was told that the only reason it "didn't go another...

Imagine if Skylar was more like Van Alden's wife. Walter would be king of the South West and be making inroads into Mexico by now.

It's just Swag's shtick. Him and Brutul both do it (Bitch about threads). Except Swag tries to be a poor man's Keg while doing it.

Yes. It was meant to support groups like the ones that arose during the revolution. It doesn't have to be a state sponsored militia and given the nature of the writers, and the time, it was probably their intent that it was NOT a state sponsored militia.

During Hank's death, it was a textbook moment of Anagnorisis for Walter. It's part of Greek Tragedy where the "hero" comes to realize the truth of a situation. The most famous example is Oedipus, when he realized he was screwing his mother. When Walt saw Hank die, he realized, in that moment...

Is this another case of you saying something there no physical evidence of? Like how Walt would have eventually gone against Gustavo even without Jesse (Like you said earlier), even though in the show it was Walt who tried to stop Jesse, Walt who told Jesse not to rock the boat and sell meth on...

Yeah, I wouldn't poison a thousand. However, I would use my noble prize winning chemistry knowledge to safely make a child ill for a few days in order to save my whole family.

Yeah, heh. She shot the heroin in her veins, she addicted Jesse to heroin, she threatened Walt--but when Walt doesn't save her from an overdose of her own doing, somehow it's Walt's fault...Because his action happened to be at the end of this long chain of events.

Zimmerman made a choice to pull dat trigger! Its murder!Christ. Context matters, Chaos.

Bingo. People talk about it like Walt drug Jesse into depths he couldn't handle.....but therealitywas that it wasJesse'sconnections that pulled Walt into situations where he discovered he COULD handle (Again, Jesse's previous relationship with Krazy, brought Krazy to Walt's doorstep). The...

The first post in this exchange said Walt is a monster. That he is responsible for what he did. But what it's illustrating is Jesse is also a monster, that Jesse just doesn't take responsibility for the deaths he is the root of, and instead tries to blame it on Walt. It also states Walt would...

No, I don't think that situation would have gotten better. That's the point, bro. Jesse would have died. He lived, only because he had Walt's Meth (Which is precisely what I said?). But the reason he needed to sell Walt out was because of his own previous bad relationship with Krazy8. Jesse...

Yeah, that's because the first 3.5 seasons he was happy to let other people run the empire. He just wanted money. It was only after he was nearly killed a bunch of times that he wanted to be in control. But again, who brought on those killings. (And btw, I explicitly state pre-s5 multiple times.)

What? Remember when Jesse goes to steal Meth to sell it? Walt tells him "You're going to be a millionaire....Just enjoy it, don't rock the boat." When Jesse goes to kill the guys the first time, Walt goes to Gustavo and turns Jesse in, but asks Gus not to kill him, that he will be responsible...

Again, Jesse was labeled a snitch. Right? Krazy8 was his source for distribution. Jesse was going to go back to Krazy8 the moment he needed to cook more meth to make money. At which point, Krazy8 would have killed him. Remember, he tells Walt he's "laying low for a while after the bust", but he...

Can't argue with him being the devil, he is. I just like monsters that accept what they are, rather than ones that cry and blame everyone else :P.

Crazy8, Crazy8's Cousin, Gustavo, Two drug dealers, 2 guards guarding Jesse--So 7. (8 if you include Gale, because it was on Walt's order.)

Same could be said for Jesse? Walt tried to break it off with Jesse, remember? Jesse is the one who forced himself back into the game, he FORCED himself back with Walt. So again, Jesse origination. You can't give me an example that doesn't start with Jesse, it doesn't exist. Jesse is the source...

Yeah, which goes back to what I said. Letting Jesse die the "best" choice for Walt. It was only his justification of the protection of family that lead to all this. He should have let Jesse die, especially after Jesse had betrayed him for the 10th time. But yeah, lets absolve Jesse if making...

lol, give meanyexample in the story and I will show a Jesse origination of the problem, a Jesse based escalation, with a culmination in Walt saving him. Girl friend's death? Walt didn't put it in her veins. And when Jesse hits bottom, Walt saves him. Poisons a child, because Jesse didn't "back...

Maybe, I thought it was his cousin, that's why he got out of jail so fast. I could be wrong though. Either way, Jesse was the fall guy, he was dead until he pulled out Walt's bag.

Jesse wasn't headed to jail, he was going to become Rottweiler food. When he needed money, he was going to pop his head up for supplies with Crazy 8. Crazy 8's cousin already dubbed him as a rat to explain the bust, Jesse was already dead when Walt found him. The only reason he lived was because...

So in your one example, Walt does right by Jesse in the end. (Which, surprise surprise, Jesse uses to fuck up his life.) And we're not debating what a monster Walt is. We're debating the relationship between them, in which case, Jesse is most certainly the antagonist, where Walt takes...

It doesn't excuse it, the fact is Walt should have let Jesse die. It's only Walt's protection of what he considers "family" that lead to the other people being hurt. That's been his excuse the whole time, and you're right, it's not a good excuse. BUT if Walt had not taken these actions, Jesse...

That's because some of Jesse's actions are just that, inexcusable. Look at this. You remember what lead up to this threat? Jesse chose to STOP the destruction of the RV, stole it (Yes stole, don't forget, it's Walt's RV, he paid for it), and walked right into Hank's trap . He brought...

Brock Poison=After Jesse was manipulated into Betraying Walt, and the only reason Jesse could be manipulated, ironically, was because Waltsavedhis life after another colossal Jesse fuck up. Ripping off=??? When? When Walt wouldn't give him the money to overdose on? Threatening him=There...

Yeah, I felt bad, but I also said "Yeah, fuck you Jesse." Because god damn, he isthefigurative monkey wrench in Walt's plans all the god damn time. Every turn it's Jesse being Walt's business foil (While Skylar was his personal one.) Almost every breaking bad season can be boiled down to: 1.)...

The funny thing is, when you think about it: Meth Damon would have been the perfect partner for Walt. If he had used him from the start, Walt would probably be winding down with Gus right now, retiring and letting Gale inherit the cook.

I feel bad for Pinkman only because the actor portrays his conflict so well. But yeah, while watching the scene with Hank's death, all I'm thinking is: "Christ, another cluster fuck brought on by Pinkman being stupid (And or guilt ridden), misjudging a situation, and then going against Walt when...

It was. He was putting on a show to take all the suspicion. Yeah, his reactions at the end of the call made it very apparent. Hopefully, after he's dead, there will be a letter or something from Saul, explaining his final actions as a way to absorb all the "sins" for what he's done and allow...

It's not just money, you need to understand that. Money is a symbol for inherent value, it's not the evil you make it out to be. Think of the MASSIVE quality of life improvement oil has brought us. You're attempting to reduce it down to it's bad environmental qualities. But you don't realize how...

I didn't respond earlier because I thought the thread was dead, but since it's picked back up, let me respond now. First off, like 6 months ago I got into a huge back and forth in the Politics Thread, ironically about "peak oil", where I promoted the unending innovation of mankind. I...

Commercial airline pilot. Duh.
