@gwhitta: Thanks for my favorite dialogue option in a game ever. After Kenny didn't want to help me with Clementine, being able to express my feelings with a hard felt FUCK YOU KENNY was amazing.

I was also a little puzzled by the lingering on burrying the little boy in the attic part, that didn't really elicit any emotion from me. The little scare at the end was great though.

Thanks, I felt like by this point some people would really want to just tell Kenny to fuck off so I wanted to make sure they had that option :)

Glad to see so many people are enjoying Episode 4!

Out of curiosity, what was the reason for the game ending before Lee spoke your final selection over the walkie talkie?

It kind of helped me feel even more helpless/powerless, so I was wondering if that was the intention, or if it just looked cool.

Yeah that was the intention. We know that choices carry over between episodes so I thought it'd be cool if we did kind of the ultimate version of that, where you get to make the choice but then we make you wait until the next episode to see it actually play out.

Fun fact: for a while one of the choices at the end was, "I will find you and I will kill you." NEESON STYLE!

The only thing that disappointed me about Gary Whitta's writing was that nobody at any point said "LEE, SHOOT THAT GUY!".

Other than that, excellent episode. Sets up the finale fantastically.

Molly says "Lee, shoot this fucker!" which was as close as I could manage :)

Two parts really bugged me about this episode: getting stuck in the stairs and dying ~10 times in a row before figuring out you can't pull your leg twice in a row, and the gratuitous, slow shots of the boy zombie.

It was bad enough that they showed the kid over and over, but I had a computer problem and had to reload and play through that part again, and started getting pretty mad they kept showing the kid over and over like "THE WORLD IS HORRIBLE, LOOK AT THIS SHIT, IT"S TERRIBLE, ARE YOU LOOKING? LOOK SOME MORE DAMNIT, NO SKIPPING AHEAD."

Otherwise it was awesome.

You actually can pull your leg twice in a row - you can do it as many times as you want so long as you've cleared out enough zombies.

As for the kid, if you are talking about the burial scene - yes I agree with you that we belabored that a little.

@big_jon: Hey man, I sincerely apologize if I in any way acted like a dick when we met, that's never my intention and I think most people who've met me would tell you it's not their impression. But sometimes when I'm around people I don't know I can come across as stand-offish or, yeah, just dickish. So if that's the impression you got I really apologize.

Glad to see so many people are enjoying Episode 4!

Thanks all! Actually the baby was two days early, her due date was July 4 but I guess she decided to forego that in deference to her English dad. :)

The labor was long and exhausting, both physically and emotionally, but Leah was an absolute superhero and mother and baby both are doing well. We will be in the hospital a couple more days before going home. But we are overjoyed, this baby is a little miracle. Can't even begin to explain how amazing it feels to have her here.

Haha thanks to everyone who watched! The videos are archived here for anyone who missed them:

Plus no-one in SF celebrates July 4 as we're all filthy liberals who hate America.

I don't think that's how it works. Doctors just don't pick a specific date when you're 6 months away.

Anyway, congrats Gary!

That is, in fact, exactly how it works. And thanks!
