Nonsense. I have not yet begun to defile myself.

400 Days itself was pretty awesome with all the small ways the storylines bled into each other. Too bad it all wound up being fairly standalone.

Also yeah, I wound up shooting Kenny because A) by that point he seemed crazy beyond no return, B) he was about to stab someone in the face who hadn't elaborated in the slightest on just what had happened, C) there was a lot of indication that he just wanted to die. Kind of like they kept hammering on about with Sarah.

And then I ditched Jane too, since once she did elaborate it became apparent she was a moron.

Yeah, I generally tried to make the good choices in the game, but I did put a pitchfork into Cannibal Dude because gently caress if I was going to risk him getting up and killing one of my group.

Stranger: You stabbed a man with a pitchfork in front of a little girl!

Lee: That was complicated!

That was a big reason why I thought 400 Days was so cool. So a rehabbing junkie, a college student, an inmate, and Tommy Chong walk into a bar zombie apocalypse...

I'm sad Nate didn't show up again. That guy was pretty much Trevor from GTA5 set loose in Zombieville.

Happy medium, Clem gives the baby to trustworthy stranger Nate. "Hey kid, hold my gun! I need to piss!"

Which really makes the best ending the one where she chases off the family at the gates.

Guy: Hey, we could use your help!

Clem: *draws gun* gently caress off.

Well really, the game keeps hammering and hammering the point that sometimes the most merciful thing is to just put someone down. Whether it's a Walker or Lee or Duck or Kenny who had been dead internally since he lost his family, sometimes people are too far gone and you're doing them a disservice by not letting go.

The Jane thing was interesting, since she was kind of right in that one nudge to Kenny sent him right off the edge to Crazytown without even hearing a situation out. And with that said, Clem's "You did all that to prove a point? You're loving crazy" choice was also spot on and there should have been an option to shoot her in the knee. That rear end in a top hat.

I kind of laughed at that one since it seemed at the time stealing a watch would have just been an rear end in a top hat move for being an rear end in a top hat. Then later they're like "I wish someone had gotten the watch."

Man, gently caress Kenny. I gave up on his rear end in Season 1 when I didn't smash Larry's head with a cinderblock, so he took *every last opportunity* to whine about how Lee had no loyalty to him for the rest of the game. Get over it, jerk. :colbert:

Man, Kenny would have snapped on Clem in a second. After whatsherface dies he explodes on Clem for a situation that she couldn't have done a drat thing about, and then he only rolls downhill in sanity from there. At the end he had latched on to the baby so much that if anything happened to it (and Jane wasn't there to be an easier target), Kenny would have stabbed her in the face.
