What is your level of involvement with The Walking Dead video game that is being developed?
KIRKMAN: I just had a meeting with them yesterday. I’m not writing the video game myself just because I don’t have time. I can say that I picked Frank Darabont for the show and I picked Telltale Games because they are very familiar with the comic book and they know what makes the comic book good and what makes the comic book “The Walking Dead” as opposed to just as, you know, zombies running around and cutting people’s heads off and stuff. If you want to buy a game where you run around and kill zombies with an uzi – that game exists and there are more of those games coming out. They are fun games and everybody likes them, but we are not going to try and compete with those games. We are going to try to do something a little different that is a little more true to The Walking Dead. Knowing that they are that invested in changing what you might expect from a zombie game and really brining the emotion and drama of The Walking Dead to video games makes me trust them. But I’m overseeing everything.

Thats sort of a contradiction isnt it?
Also did you perhaps be able to talk to him about Carl's likelyhood to live in the series after the last comic? As of right now he is the only one of my favorites still alive.
Agreed.
Interesting. I'm hoping this just means Kirkman doesn't know the term "conventional point-and-click adventure", though.
Agreed.
Some of the nicest people I know use the word fuck and shit as part of their everyday language. Same with the selfless people I used to volunteer with.
Use knife with cut piece of plywood.
[wait for zombie to walk into view]
Use wood-shielded knife on chain link fence.
"Wow! That got 'em!"
-- "those FENCING LESSONS paid off after all!!"
Oh Jake, you're such a hoot!
Use GUN with ANOTHER ZOMBIE HEAD.
Use GUN with ENDLESS SEA O' ZOMBIE HEADS.
Wrong series.
I think you mixed up the walking dead and left 4 dead.
No, this was just the puzzle in the game that teaches you that you don't want to use guns because then more zombies hear it and show up.
Oh now I get the joke.
Seemed more like L4D than a joke there.
(what Gman5852 doesn't know is that I only came up with an excuse as to why I wasn't wrong after he said I was)
(what Scnew doesn't know is that I can read that post as well)
