[Skane]

So... I just started playing this "game", more like a visual novel really. I had been under the mistaken impression that it was a FPS, which kinda killed my interest, so when I found out that I was wrong and that it was a point-click adventure type of game, interest perked up considerably.

Episode 1:

Spoiler for Tidiness:

As is my usual practice for first runs, I played it straight and chose the rational options, the nice-guy ways, and generally do my best to be a shining hope-spot of humanity.

Damn was it hard.

I think the only time I "lost my cool" was when Larry threatened Clementine. So yeah... I called Lilly a crazy bitch and told Larry where I would stuff his feet up.

When the time came to choose between Doug and Carley, I was like, "Really Game? You're asking a guy to choose between a guy and a hot chick?"

I don't think a nanosecond even passed before my mind was made up. I only dallied for about 2 seconds to see if there was a third option. Yeah... sure... I felt some guilt about it afterwards, but hey. It's Carley.

Still, when asked about motivations, I gave neutral answers and didn't want to give her the wrong impression that I was offing a competitor. Hmm... kinda morbid now that I think about it.

So from there on, I was only looking out for two people. Clementine and Carley. I was 50:50 with Kenny at that point, since he was such a yellow-bellied douche. Dude had skills I appreciated, but the constant crumbling under pressure was really eroding my confidence in him when push comes to shove.

Larry? Dude was dead man walking the moment he punched me in the face.

Episode 2:

Spoiler for Tidiness:

I gave food to the two kids, Lilly, and when Carley refused, to Kenny(which the ungrateful bastard seem to conveniently forget soon thereafter).

I failed to save the teacher. Tried in vain to free his leg, and only realised I was supposed to chop off his leg when I read a walkthrough.

When the St. Johns came by, I was already in "Game's Out To Get Me" mode and was very suspicious about their motivations. The maxim, "Too Good To Be True" kept ranging in my head as we explored the farm. Regardless, I gave polite, if guarded, answers and didn't try to flip tables over until the big reveal.

Despite past grievances, I chose not to off Larry, because it would have been cold-blooded murder, and because I still had a sympathetic spot for Lilly. Kenny really took the cake for pissing me off though, not so much for killing Larry, but when he hid in the stall while I was struggling for my life after he made so much hoo-ha over how gung-ho he was going to be on the St. Johns.

"Thanks, Kenny!"

Carley rose like over 9000 points in my book when she arrived to help save the day. I chose not to kill the St. John brothers, because you know... not becoming the same monsters as them and all. Felt a little guilty about leaving them like that when Andy started screaming Lee's name pathetically in the rain.

Episode 3:

Spoiler for Tidiness:

I nearly abandoned the game during this episode, because Carley died.

Only thing that brought me back was helping Clementine, but still... Carley died.

I chose to come clean with everybody, because as they say, "Honesty is the best Policy". Haha.

When Lilly killed Carley, it was the last straw for me and I basically threw her to the road as we drove off. Whatever sympathy I might had have left for her died the moment she pulled the trigger on Carley.

I chose to help Omid first, because the guy had an injured leg.

When Ben confessed, I was just about ready to throw him under the train. But... you know, what would be the point? Gave Ben a pep talk to straighten up. Sadly... I don't think it caught on.

I chose to help Kenny off Duck in his stead. Guy may be an ungrateful, yellow-bellied douchebag, but still... it wouldn't be right to make a father off his own son.

Natch.
