Hmm... some kind of undead epidemic that makes you come back from the dead, she's bitten, and they're attracted by noise.

Nope. Nothing could go wrong here at all. Let's give her the gun and certainly not regret it in 4 seconds when she comes up from the grave.

Oh I absolutely voted to give it to her. My understanding is that this game is the base model that all of telltale graphic novel factory was built off of, and half the fun of an interactive story is that you can make silly decisions and it doesn't lead to failure, it just changes up the story being told a little.

This one just struck me as a lot dumber than the last one. Last time we had the goofiness of man stuck under tractor somehow, but in this case we literally just demonstrated Clemintine being able to think under pressure and contribute by gophering. She has just heard that of our two people struggling one of them just needs bullets from her bag that she pointed out to the rest of the room.

What exactly is stopping Lee from helping Doug while Clementine tosses Carley the bullets here? The decision itself feels a little goofy compared to the last one where it was just the situation.

I often wonder what I'd do if I'd ended up in a zombie apocalypse like the one here and as much as I'd say that I'd be a badass zombie killer, no I'd probably die within the first few months.

I appreciate your optimism. I'd probably be the clueless guy that gets killed out of curiosity in the opening moments.

I've just completed a test run of the next update, it looks like this one will end up in a vote. I'll also start up a vote for the petty feud power struggle at the same time, staying neutral is still a valid option but I'd like to know if there's a majority for a specific side. I may record and upload the next update tomorrow.

I can't quite remember what is in there at this point in time but the St Johns did mention that they own a cow which is currently unwell.

An evil zombie cow sounds way too fun to be the actual plot point and that makes me sad.

Man, a situation where don't (directly) kill them feels like the more humane one. Oh well, sucks to be them. Mark seemed like a cool guy we didn't have time to properly meat, and Clementine has seen enough killing for the day. Enjoy your turn at being food, assholes.

E: although on the other hand - They did get Larry to shut up, so maybe they aren't all bad

I like the visible arm from the walker at the top of the stairs as you drive her into it.

Also, yup. Definitely would have been kinder just to kill them directly. But don't worry Clementine, we left without seeing them die, so the guy pinned by a bear trap and the guy on the ground whimpering and too weak to walk definitely could have escaped. They could be on their way to a farm upstate right now!

Heck, you see her get bitten in the leg. It's surprising she's even still walking.

That said I've been fairly consistently voting for Lee to have a lot of compassion and very little survival instinct, so drawing the zombie Horde trying to save the soon to be dead woman is the clear cut vote.

Well, on one hand she's completely unhinged and just killed someone who, even if they were the traitor, was at best guilty of staying quiet about being extorted by bandits threatening to kill the group if the "traitor didn't comply. Plus, I can't really see Carly as having been that person without talking to Lee about it.

On the other hand, Lee can't really throw stones about killing people on flimsy to no evidence. Although that does rely on the assumption that we were dealing with Hollywood cpr where ROSC is nearly instantaneous, the patient isn't a high risk for rapid relapse into arrest when it is achieved, and the clot or whatever ailment caused the arrest just magically goes away without any further medical intervention.

And ditching her in walker infested woods seems as psychotic as just blasting a member of the group without any evidence. Might as well wait until the next town to dump her on the side of the road and let her have a chance, however small, of survival.

Jesus Lee, that was one hell of a way to react to Ben. Not a single sympathetic option for the kid. He didn't go nuts and shoot her, that was Lily. The literal kid is a victim in this and his major crime was not telling the group about it when the bandits first threatened him.

The lack of an option for Lee to have figured it out kind of sucked. It wasnt exactly a stumper on who did it.

Oh hey, that literal triangle designation is a neat touch. It's a variation on tagging codes like first responders use after a natural disaster. When was the building searched, what dangers were present/is it safe to enter, how many people you rescued or recovered. It's not really ominous, just a sign that they had an organized search process and a way to keep track of what they'd searched.

We back Clementine up on this one.

Everyone keeps talking about him like he's a monster traitor, but the bandits literally extorted the group at gunpoint through him. It's not like they wouldn't have attacked if he said no. His biggest sin was not telling anyone about it. And yeah, sure, he's a dumbass kid that's a coward and a liability, but he's shown some growth in telling people about it and helping out more actively. And we've just spent how much time dragging Crawford for ditching liabilities to the zombies?

Blood circulates the body about once every 20-60 seconds depending on conditions. It's part of why IV meds are the gold standard for route. So uh, if the bite got zombie bacteria into his bloodstream cutting off the hand wouldn't do much. And given that a lethal dose seems to be any dose...

"Did you choose to save Pete or nick?"

Game, Clem ran to Nick, dodged some zombies along the way, and then reached him as he saved himself without any interaction from her. Normally, the game has been a lot better than this at these trolley problem scenarios, which just makes this one stick out more.

And the episode 2 teaser shows pretty clearly that yes, the intent here is that Clem chose to save one of them.
