Around late Labyrinth Zone he starts to break, and basically immediately into Scrap Brain Zone he has totally shattered as a person, eventually chuckling softly to himself as he runs right into death after death and having to savestate repeatedly to make progress. It's wonderful.

I got in watching it live during Marble Zone Act 3. Yeah Pat broke. Pat just broke and it was hilarious.

What kind of fish have you tried? There's a kinda crazy variety. Tilapia, cod, salmon and tuna can all be incredible when prepared properly(no canned poo poo for starters), cod is the easiest with some simple bread crumb breading and lemon squeezed onto them, it's very tasty and pretty cheap. Try it sometime! If you have salmon make sure it's not farm raised, that stuff is bad and also has dyes that can make you sick. I'm literally allergic to the dyes they use in some farmed salmon and beef, which super sucks.

Stuff like swordfish and the like are a very different kettle of fish, literally. I can't stand swordfish, at the very least.

It's really just the texture. I've had tuna (not canned), anchovies, shark, tilapia, swordfish, salmon, flounder, catfish, cod, and for all of them something about the way the flesh flakes combined with the flavor puts me off. If it's mixed with something I don't mind it as much; sushi I can do, though I still prefer shellfish or vegetable sushi over fish. I think sushi/sashimi helps because it's more solid, too.

My fiancee's suggested I try smoked salmon, which I haven't yet, so we'll see how that works out.

Salmon is great and I wish I could eat salmon everyday.

I'm kinda the opposite of "eats seafood but not fish" since the only not-fish water thing I like are shrimps. Paella is a waste of good rice. :colbert:

Kirkman's whole premise for the TWD was "what if the zombie movie never ends?"

He probably forgot that maybe it's a good thing that there's an end point.

Yeah, but the Walking Dead ones explicitly aren't.

Straight up old school Romero zombies are only a threat to society back in the era they were made. And the hilarious thing about that is, even Night of the Living Dead knew it.

By the end of the movie, society is running over the zombie invasion pretty handily and are making a game of the whole loving thing.

Notably we never see how it got worse in the following two films, just that it did, and in absurd ways too.

I'm also just burnt out on the whole hopelessness/no cure stuff. I'd like to see more settings where the apocalypse happened, but a solution was found before a point of no return so you're kind of that 'picking up the pieces" phase? Dead Rising I guess is an example - there's a treatment for and society sorta just marches on with zombies existing, But I haven't really looked into the games past 2.

Shocked I tell you
Like the types of zombies that appear in the walking dead and a few others things simply would not be a problem after a while. Seriously the entire thing should only last around a month or shorter depending on the season. Simply if it's a hot season or a hot place the zombo's would decay very fast. If it's cold then they will freeze to uselessness and if they are thawed will become mush.

If you go to a hot place or a cold place you should be completely safe in the walking dead honestly. Even if you don't all of them should decay to uselessness within a month. Eventually only stragglers would be left and easily put down.

The zombies in TWD are not a problem because all they do is just walk. Get enough distance from them and you're good. That's why there are teleporting zombies in the game and the show. I'm still shocked at how bad the series got. Characters act weird and nonsensical simply for manufactured drama. Then there's the thing where if someone's life is dependent on your choice, they will eventually die. It's was alright in Season 1, but then we see it again in Season 2 and now in Season 3. There is no catharsis regarding Joan. She's just this big shrug. At least in Season 2, Carver got the poo poo kicked out of him no matter what and it was up to you to see it or not. And where the gently caress is Christa? I was hoping she'd come back at some point, but I guess she's dead.

Now that I'm thinking about season 2, I would've rather had Christa vs. Kenny instead of Jane vs. Kenny.

Wiseblood

The writers really gave Christa the shaft. In the game's timeline Clementine knew Lee for a little over 3 months before he died. She was with Christa for about 2 years before they got separated. You'd think Christa would have had a bigger impact on her life that what's depicted in the game.

I found it especially weird in the season 2 episode where Rebecca gave birth. Obviously Christa's pregnancy didn't end well and Clementine had to have been there when that happened. You'd think that would have come up at some point.

Season 2's plot where Kenny wants to raise a baby and protect Clem and is emotionally a mess feels like it was written for Christa at some point but then the writers just decided to bring back Kenny instead, but this time more crazy.

Maybe I missed it but fun thing about season 3 is that you can't get the good ending unless Clementine hates you. If you make her too fond of Javi you are FORCED to get the bad ending.

Basically if she dislikes you she'll decide to split away from Javi and choose the option you don't. Go with Kate? She goes after Gabe and David. Go after them? She goes with Kate. This leads her to saving Gabe while you keep Kate safe and vice versa. It's such a colossal dick move from the writers that you can't help but laugh.

God I didn't realize it until now but how the gently caress did David die "fighting to save" Gabe? Dude broke his skull open in a car crash and died in the seat.

Like he didn't even get out of the automobile. At absolute most he punched a zombie in the head with his bare hands while gabe got chomped and ran out of the truck to go sit by a building or... something. I don't get it, please explain how he fought.

I mean with the other option she plain old gets blasted, that was on Pat for being a dummy and taking the giant rear end in a top hat groups deal.

Also the good ending in S3 is whatever gets rid of Gabe or Kate depending on who you hated more, optimally there'd be a way to get rid of both but alas.

Walking Dead Season 1 is also bad. It's just not a tire fire like the rest of the games the brand zombie themed media.

The only Telltale games worth player are Wolf Among Us and weirdly the Borderlands one.

TWD 3 was...impressively bad. Like, well beyond Telltale's usual failings. None of the characters are that distinct - let's face it, would you even begin to care about Season 3's Clementine if she were named Charlotte or something? - motivations change with the wind, the plot is a Greatest Flops arrangement of all of TWD's most cynical and predictable subplots, the choices are even more transparently and cluelessly meaningless than most modern telltale games, and even the engine seems to be struggling not to dry heave.

I wasn't crazy about season 2, but at least there were elements of Clem and Kenny's story that were genuinely really compelling and interesting moral dilemmas. Nothing in Season 3 really justifies the season's existence. David's story comes the closest, but the strongest beats in his plot are the ones that have the most in common with Kenny's with regard to the whole "This is a fundamentally violent and maybe irredeemable person who you have a complicated relationship with" angle.

Most modern Telltale games just strike me as mediocre at worst, but TWD3 was simply bad start to finish. Fun LP though.

Seventh Day Adventist is a quick one that comes to mind, mostly for personal reasons.

There may be other iterations or sects though, but that's the one big one in Christianity that follows more Judaism traits than the others.
