half of the people in the comments DID NOT READ the article. ugh. please overcome your urge to react just to the heading, when the greater article already addresses your concerns--and not even that far in.

Haha, I noticed that to. I don't know what's worse. If they commented without reading the article, or if they read it without comprehending it.

In either way, it's just sad.

Allow me to shed some light on this as a person who did not read the article: It has a sensationalist headline. As a dude who still read tabloids from time to time, I'm no stranger to being lured to an article I don't care about, at which point I leave my tangentially related thoughts on the headline before bailing out.

Quick fix: Stop being lured, stop reading tabloids. I hope you didn't expect us to find you non-readers less idiotic because of your non-explanation.

Nah, that's okay. I'm nowhere near optimistic enough to think people will stop bitching about other people in comment fields.

Admittedly I only read the lead paragraph here, but if a project on Kickstarter is just barely at its mark by the skin of its teeth, then that kind of proves it's not popular enough. In this case, if none of the bidders could be bothered kicking in an extra 28 bucks, what does that say about the viability of the project itself?

If you had read the article, you would know. Why do people comment on articles they haven't read?

Why do people answer rhetorical questions?

Well, we broke 1600 again.

YOU CREATED THIS MONSTER.

And to everyone's surprise, the Internet can not come to an agreement in this comments field.

Everything about that box and the depicted product looks like a naughty toy for ladies. Well, mostly the red nunchuck.

The game seemed to establish that you become a zombie if you die (sans dying by shot to the head), not if you become bitten. I guess you do become a zombie also if you've been bitten? I don't remember the game establishing that, so I was very confused as to why being bitten at the end was a big deal.

The bite kills you because zombie-magic-poison. Then you come back because you're dead.

Telltale wouldn't have the balls to allow Clementine to get killed. That's for sure.

Gees, man, don't challenge them on that! Losing Clem would be much more devastating than losing Aerith in Final Fantasy 7, and it's probably the first idea to come to their mind :(

I don't read a whole lot of video game articles, but these articles for this game in specific are extremely interesting to me.
I find I'm not so concerned about episode 5, I know it will be good, but I am worried about how season 2 will be. I seriously hope they stick with Clementine as the main supporting character. Trying to make lightning strike twice with an all new set of characters wouldn't just be betting against the odds, but less interesting to me personally as it's not the same story which I'm already invested in, and it might as well be another game at that point.

This will almost certainly get a second season. It's too good not to. The ramifications of that make me very curious to what they have in store for Lee and Clem though. I feel you can't have one without the other, but classic zombie stories would end with one of them dead.
