You'd like Zaheer in the new Legend of Korra season. More or less the same philosophy. Plus, he's voiced by Henry Rollins, which makes me at least like him a bit more. lol 

You have the same political sense of humor as my dad.  lol I don't love Obama or I wouldn't have voted third party last go-around, but I certainly don't have the same view of him as a lot of people around me. 

I liked some of the criminals more than Walter simply because I thought they were better at keeping their cool and never killed characters I actually liked otherwise. For me, House of Cards is the first show where the main characters make my blood boil every time they succeed, but I cannot stop watching. Frank Underwood is a Democrat by the way, so if you don't like Obama, that show will piss you off something fierce. lol

I get what you mean about not liking what they did, but liking the way they did it as far as on TV. I liked how Gus and Mike handled business a lot better than I liked how Walter did. 

Interesting. 

I understsnd that view of Walter. I also thought he made some dumb decisions that made me not like him as much, but I can see some of his more badass moves as making you want to root for him. I just liked Pinkman, Mike, and Gus better in a lot of instances. 

I'm guessing Lannister is Game of Thrones. Still need to get on that. 

It's interesting that you like a character cause of the actor playing them. I definitely think Cranston gave a lot more credibility to Walter White than he could have had. 

Funnily enough, his position as a drug kingpin was never what bothered me. It what actions he took outside of cooking meth. 

House of Cards is a bit hard to follow sometimes if you don't follow American politics, but I'd argue it's more of a character drama than a political one. 

I never really had much intrest in watching Dexter, but it's in my Netflix cue, so we'll see how the pilot grabs me I guess. 

Never seen Blue Submarine 6, but I totally get not liking corrupt police. I've only seen Lethal Weapon and none of the sequels and don't remember anything they did bothering me, but I guess I'll have to watch it again. Poison Ivy I'm guessing is cause of her environmentalism.

From that description alone, he sounds like a pretty righteous character to me. I guess I'd have to know the full story.

Pete Rose ... what? Anti-hero you like/didn't like? The real life person Pete Rose or a character i have never heard of. 

I'm getting the sense that this is a joke that flew over my head, as I know very little about Pete Rose aside from his name. lol

I must say, I think Michael117 and I have succeeded in creating the Great Wall of Pixlbit Text. 

Having been young enough for Power Rangers mania and also having recently seen the original movie and playing the SNES games ... you thought the games were bad and the movie was good?! I ... what?! I can't fault you for not being the right age at the time, but I think if you go back and watch that movie, you'll realize how bad it is. Which to Angelo's point is part of its charm, but still. And I thought the games were pretty good and still find them enjoyable, though the SNES side-scroller for the Movie was too hard for me, while the game based on the show was a bit too easy. 

Anyway, I fell of the Rangers bandwagon around the time the movie came out as well, though I caught episodes of the newer series like Alien and Zeo here and there. After Turbo, I pretty much stopped being aware of the series aside from the Ninja Turtles/Power Rangers crossover in Space. I grew up on TMNT, Transformers, and PR all around the same time thanks to the magic of video stores and an older brother who had watched the former series on Saturday mornings, where I caught PR on both VHS and after-school TV. 

If any series is to get a dark makeover though, I'd prefer VR Troopers, which I remember already being somewhat darker in tone than the super-cheesy Power Rangers.

Having not grown up with Sonic (we had SNES) and only having played the original Sonic trilogy recently ... I love Sonic 2  especially, but really enjoy the other two as well. I have a bit of nostalgia for Sonic Adventure and I own Sonic Adventure 2:Battle though I only like the Sonic/Shadow sections in those. I think both of them are fun, but hate the secondary character levels. Again, I've played these recently, so to Angelo's point: the Sonic/Shadow segments are still fun to me in reality, not just in my head. However, I fully admit that my love for the cartoon show is probably entirely nostalgia-based. Also the ravioli. Just cause I never got to play the games outside of kiosks doesn't mean I didn't like Sonic or wasn't jealous of Genesis owners ...

Oh man, I remember loving Tenchu, though I don't recall tank controls. May have to go back and play that one if I can. I guess I won't get to experience this for a bit as Resident Evil 4 HD Remake will be my starting point for the series. Thank you, Steam. The only tank controls I ever remember having to deal with were the RC Car level in SNES Toy Story. I have not-so-fond memories of that level. 

I forgot I commented about atheists and unbelievers in gaming. Doing a research paper intended to be a start to your thesis will make you forget things, even if it's commenting about your thesis topic. lol Well, I did a lot of research on the topic and stereotypes in media in general and found some interesting studies related to gaming, so if you do that podcast, I'll offer to be a guest on it. 

That's interesting about the about-face Nintendo did with CD technology. I knew about their deal with Sony, but not the sudden shift in their advertising/propaganda. All I know is when the Playstation came out, my older brother switched sides and went with Sony while I stuck with Nintendo and got an N64 for Christmas. 

My comfort game is Street Fighter II: Turbo. But I actually really like going back to obscure, even bad old games like Rise of the Robots, etc. for comfort. Those games really bring me back to the good ol' days, cause those days were the only ones in which they were relevant. 

Congrats on episode 51!
