I like both shows and would take Breaking Bad over Walking Dead at this point (especially seasons 1-3 of Breaking Bad), but as far as picking one new show to get into I might recommend Game of Thrones or Homeland over either of those two.
He's like many talk radio personalities in that he's good at riling up his audience and telling them what they want to hear and grandstanding to get people to pay attention to his message, but at the end of the day he's all about making a profit and probably doesn't actually believe a lot of the stuff he says.
They got away with it because you are not entitled to a bug-free game.

It's not an unreasonable thing at all for people who pay for something to expect it to work properly. The video game world is the only place I can think of where if customers complain that the things they pay for don't work right, fans shoot back with "Stop complaining, you're entitled." I don't know, maybe the rules changed somewhere along the line and I missed it. But I always thought that expecting the thing you pay for to work properly is perfectly fair, and if it didn't work, you can complain about it and maybe even get your money back. I'm glad the rest of the world isn't like the gaming world. I would hate living in a place where businesses didn't have to care about quality and consumers simply had to accept the possibility that the stuff they buy might be broken, and if it is, tough luck.
For the most part, games aren't even close to good movies in story quality. I'm not sure what to say to that other than if you think that, you should watch more/better movies.
For me it wore off. The more you play, the more flaws you find. Plus you eventually will begin to discover how much of the game is basically the same thing over and over again (get quest, go to dungeon, clear dungeon/kill boss/get item at end of dungeon, repeat). There's still more unique and interesting quests and playtime in Skyrim than there is in a lot of games, but there's also a lot of filler. And oh yeah I got tired as hell of dragons interrupting my game. Probably about the 50 hour mark or so was where I started to not be as impressed with it (I played 300+ hours), but I wouldn't say I ever started to dislike it... just that somewhere along the line I stopped thinking it was a great game and started feeling it was just a pretty good one.
The Price is Right. Both shows are better old-school style -- the Price is Right with Bob Barker and Wheel of Fortune when people had to go shopping with their winnings and they always got stuck with the crappy ceramic dog in the end.
I don't know if I ever came across as many as I did in Grand Theft Auto IV. I haven't come across as many in the other games people have mentioned here. But I think I have eventually come across some in every online game I've ever played, even stuff where you might not think to find it like word games, online poker games, and stuff like Culdcept Saga.
