Just wait till you get to the final episode.

:thumbsup:

Finished it up this past weekend. What a terrific game! I really enjoyed it.

Not only that, of the near 100 PS3 games I currently own, it is the first that I have completely finished. :) If you liked reading "Choose Your Own Adventure" or if you enjoyed some of the classic point-and-click adventure games, you should definitely give this game a shot.

I'm now tempted to pick up a couple of Telltale Games' other games. In particular, Back To The Future looked cool. Prices and availability seem all over the place on it though. Not the easily available 20 bucks that The Walking Dead was.

Maybe, I should play through one of the other games in the meantime. :)

In Topic: The Official "Thrift finds" Thread

Not exactly a thrift find and I haven't exactly recevied anything yet, but I think it still fits in anyway. :)

So I was talking to a co-worker last night. She was telling me that she needed to leave early to get set up for a community yard sale. I mentioned that those are great places to find video games and other neat electronics if you want to get up early enough and if you want to go to a bunch of them.

She said "Video game? We have those one things (makes a motion that looks like she had a joystick or something). What are they called?"

I asked her if she meant the joystick that you plug into the TV.

"No..no...the thing with the little screen and you plug games into it"

Gameboy?

"Yeah...I think so. We don't use them anymore. If we find them, I can maybe just give it to you".

Yay!!!

She went on to tell me they just threw away a Wii. I told her not to tell me that and then explained if she had stuff like that she needed to tell me and I'd probably take it. :)

She said they still had some games she thought and that I could have them, but they were "dirty" because they've been in the basement collecting dust. Uhm...for free, I can wipe them off with a rag.

So I'm hoping that on Monday she brings a box of goodies!!!

Now I want to play some Duke Nukem 3d. I wonder if anyone made a mod or crack for that game that would allow me to play it over the net nowadays......... Think I'm going to look into that tomorrow.

Haven't tried this, but might be worth a look:

Just finished episode one of The Walking Dead. While it really doesn't feel like a video game, it was actually pretty fun.

Pros:
Very well written. Well-timed music also assisted in setting the proper mood.
Reminds me of the old choose-your own adventure books.

Cons:
Seemed to be a ton of loading going on.
Towards the end of the episode, I noticed considerable lag and the voices were sometimes out of sync with the lips.

All-in-all...a blast. Can't wait to "play" the other four episodes. Definately worth the 19.99.
