The Walking Dead: The Game

We're apparently getting them at 2 month intervals. Episode 3 is supposed to be released in the middle of August as Barkey said.

Lily going off to do her comic book thing could be fine depending on the final act in the game. Say Lee and/or Clementine is about to be killed and depending on her who've bonded with over the series either Kenny or Lily will save them. Help neither or be wishy washy about your allegiance and you'll be left for dead.

I heard somewhere they already approved a second season, I.E. another 5 episodes to make this storyline total into 10.

It's just sort of unfair to take people from the comics and give them cameos that last more than an episode, I don't want to invest into people who are going to just take off.

Well, I've read that the TV show deviates from the comics a bit, so there's no reason this can't as well.

"It's so hard to be humble, knowing how great I am."

I really wish that I wasn't so poor, so that I could buy the game and see what would happen if I always took the "..." speech option whenever available. To see who I end up pairing with.

It's $5 per episode. So it's not that big a strain on your wallet.

I got the season pass on Steam and played through the first two episodes. All I can say is that I really love this game.

Sorry, but I wanted Larry to live.

The thing that I fear is probably going to happen: Katjaa looks like Dead Woman Walking. She's the only thing keeping Kenny from Jumping Off the Slippery Slope.

Actually, I believe they've more or less directly stated that this is in comic canon.

Also, I dunno, I played through from "The Meatlocker" twice, and Kenny didn't really seem quite as dickish as I'd been lead to believe.

I don't know; the novels being released for The Walking Dead apparently have a different backstory for Lilly, and they very well might be "more canon" than the video game's events. So, the video game Lilly has probably just been tweaked to fit in more with the video game. I highly doubt she's going to just up and leave regardless of what you do.

I write pretty good fanfiction, sometimes.

Kenny's not a bad person, but he is flawed and driven by his emotions, especially when he perceives a threat to his family. The biggest problem is that he tends to make...questionable choices when under extreme duress, which is a very negative quality to have for someone who wants to be in charge.

He really isn't any more reckless than lilly though. They are both walking disasters in the role of leadership, and Lee is pretty much the only person with the right balance of charisma, physical ability, and intelligence to pick up the position. Lilly and Kenny don't keep their heads when shit gets stressful.

Lilly is smarter than Kenny. Much more. She's just not good at people skills. Kenny is instantly likeable, but he'll command his troops off a cliff.

Lilly at the same time is rather impulsive with bad decisions too.

I like both characters, but neither should be top dog, and Lee needs to learn to put up the pimp hand and make them both fall in line.

Lee is trying to stay low. Convict, remember?

Jonah Falcon

I'd think the group's been through enough to not really care.

#IceBearForPresident

And how would being in charge make anyone know he's a convict, anyway?

"Well, Lee's in charge, now- MY GOD HE'S A MURDERER!"

"It's so hard to be humble, knowing how great I am."

I don't think anybody is left who would give a damn.

I don't know. I think most of the survivors would go apeshit if they found out, especially now after all the crap that's happened.

"Pancakes. Oh, I blew it." - Joel Hodgson Nobody better lay a Butterfinger on my 3DS!

Lee's saved each of their asses how many times now? I mean yeah I can certainly see them getting pissed if it's revealed at an inoppertune moment, but if he should be fine if he can tell the whole story.

#IceBearForPresident

I think Kenny, if you supported him for the most part, would take it in stride. If you follow his lead in the first two episodes he's pretty much as loyal as a golden retriever at that point.

If you don't go out of your way to be an ass to Carley, she's pretty cool with it too and she actually knows.

Katjaa and Duck will follow Kenny's lead, and if you take care of Clem, she's pretty much comfortable with trusting Lee and his judgement.

Apart from that is Lilly and that new kid, Ben. Ben doesn't really have any say, and if Lilly hates you she might make a fuss, but otherwise it's prolly all good.

I get the distinct feeling that trying to please everyone will leave no-one happy and lock you into the Bad End.

Episode 3 is going to really strain my relationship with Kenny with the path I chose. I did lots of nice things for Kenny, but I sided with Lilly when push came to shove to sort of get my story into a different pattern than my room mates game where he was bro's with Kenny.

Regardless, I'm excited about the next episode, any exact date for its release in august get posted?

All I can find is "mid-August". Maybe we'll get an exact date in a week.

#IceBearForPresident

Both Lilly and Kenny can use that information to betray you. In Episode 3, you're going to have to choose one of them.

And you know any of them will survive becuase...? Katjaa has "Dead Meat" written on her. Just imagine Kenny without Katjaa to calm him down.

Got the season pass today. Loving it.

After playing through the game and seeing the stats, I'm surprised that the group that killed both brothers at the farm was pretty small (about 17%), especially since I'm part of that group.

Perhaps, like Kenny, at that moment I too was driven by emotions and wasn't thinking straight. Except for the second brother. I was DEFINITELY thinking straight when I kicked him into the electric fence.
