Who says gaming is a waste of time?
I just realized id Software's “Rage” game looks to have simultaneously saved Jesse's bacon and elevated his status with Gus & Mike big-time. In the last scene of episode 10 "Salud.", the action in many ways parallels the Rage game footage in a previous episode (his stance, his weapon, the target movement etc.). As if a switch has been flipped, Jesse slips into survival mode and goes into an almost trance-like state to instinctively draw upon his video gaming experience to take out the last of Don Eladio's men. Amidst a hail of bullets and drifting gun smoke, Jesse, with no muzzle climb, robotically empties his clip at his assailant, eventually killing him; A real-time 1st person shooter (with deadly consequences) for sure. No reset button there. I can’t wait for the next episode!
P.S. At the risk of sounding like a corporate game rep spewing CYA disclaimers (which I am not), I’d like to say that just for the record, gaming (like anything else) can be bad if not done in moderation.
