'Perfect Strangers' Video Game > 'Breaking Bad' 8-Bit GIF

So this GIF is everywhere today, and it’s cool, I guess. I don’t know. I had the whole thing ruined for me because the link I clicked said “Breaking Bad 8-Bit Game” and I damn near had a heart attack. I lost about an hour of my life back when the Mad Men 8-Bit Choose Your Own Adventure game came out, so I was just about to clear my schedule and shout “HOLD MY CALLS” to no one in particular when I opened it up and saw that it was just a GIF. A very cool GIF, please don’t mistake me. But I had been promised a ribeye — medium-rare, seasoned liberally with salt and pepper, and smothered in sauteed mushrooms — and the waiter just brought out a roasted chicken. Which is fine, I like chicken and everything … but, man, I really had my heart set on that steak. I could taste it.

Speaking of TV-related games on the Internet, I have been meaning to post this Perfect Strangers game for like two days now, and it kept slipping my mind. If you like the concept of Balki Bartokomous running through the streets and FLYING THROUGH SKY collecting stars to help you reach your dreams, all while the show’s theme song plays in the background (“STANDING TAAAAAAAAAAALLL”), then homie, this is the game for you. Also, let’s be friends.

My favorite part of the game is that they let you enter your own dream to strive toward, which really motivated me to succeed for reasons this screengrab should make clear:

One day…

[shakes fist toward sea]

ONE DAY, INDEED.
