    All right, now I demand an interview with the real Doug in one of the next "Playing Dead" videos. To set things right. ;)

    Nahhhh. You naturally only put your friends and contest winners in your games, not for revenge. :rolleyes:

    No, that's actually a good idea. We want to you interview Doug for the next Playing Dead. :D Would be awesome.

    i still think something dodgy must be going on with that guy, an EX employee makes it into this of all games? i think he must of stolen all of the remotes and held them for ransom, his payment, a cameo and the chance to meet, hug, and stroke the mighty fine facial hair of robert kirkman, that devious devious chunky mastermind!

    He resigned a while ago. I was a newbie user when he was around. I remember he made an official announcement about him leaving, but then something about the employees taking him out to the movies shortly after.

    The way I saw it, Carly has the gun, doesn't care about your secret and probably has some mother instinct so she will also care a bit more about Clementine than Doug will (who will just see her as a little sister at most)

    If Larry completely turns against you I'd rather have people at my side who he can't persuade to turn against me as well with the blackmail he has. Not to mention people who have weapons.

    Clementine won't be too bothered because she already knows, Carly won't care because she already knows and thinks you are a good guy, The family of three won't care if you've saved their son so they are on your side.

    The only ones possible to turn against you are Doug and Lily. And with Doug out of the way that leaves a whole group against two people, one of them with a weak heart.

    Not to mention, wasn't Lily an engineer? That makes the necessity of Doug a little less doesn't it? If it comes to fixing a generator for power they are equally handy and you'd only need one of them, not both.

    The way I read it I do not think Doug is a tech guy. He does say his Uncle is a tech guy,But he(Doug) hangs out in the basement doing his own thing.

    If I remember correctly, he was called the "Wizard"... or something like that.

    So basically, he became even more useless to the group if that's true. I do believe he does have some tech skill though. For some reason, going to his uncle the Tech guy 'made sense' to him and he is seen fiddling with a laptop if he survives.

    But again, I rather have an engineer and a shooter in my group than an engineer and a basement bred techy.

    Didn't post here for three years... probably "doing his own thing". :cool:

    There's usually other factors involved. Hershel's son was trapped under a tractor wheel, so it looked like you could get Duck out the way, and back the tractor up slightly so he could free himself. The woman who wanted the gun would bring the zombies down on you with the noise. When it came down to Carley and Doug, I was more concerned in dealing with the zombies that were inside the place than outside, because they were the more immediate threat. Of course, some might choose Doug because Carley knows their secret...

    I like Dough I really do But part of me wants him to be the calm voice against lee.

    Larry is the emotional Lee enemy but i'd like a character who is perfectly calm and is actually pretty persuasive why he doesnt like or trust lee

    Me too, whether you mean the baking ingredient or the colloquial expression for money.

    I like Doug, the abbreviation for Douglas, too, though! :D :D

    For some reason {probably because G and H are right by each other} I keep Typing Dough instead of Doug.

    The ony reason the walkers were able to get Doug was because the horizontal boards barricading the windows broke under his weight when they were pulling him towards the window from outside. I still think Carly was in more danger as the walkers attacking her were already in the pharmacy holding her ankle and could have bitten her leg. The walkers couldn't bite Doug until they pulled him through the window. If not for bad luck Lee would have had more chance of saving Doug after saving Carly than he would have had saving Carly after Doug. Going for Carly would have been logical.

    Some have said they would let her die because she knows Lee's secret but Larry also knows Lee's secret so his secret wouldn't be save any way. At least if Larry does expose his secret to the group Lee would have Carly's support to reason with the rest of the group.

    I think Doug is neglected because he offers less to the overal story. He is missing from alot of the exciting and pivotal stages in the story. When the heated debate between Lee's group and Lilly's group ensue Doug keeps out of it. He doesn't defend Lee and Kenny when Larry is suggesting they kill the boy unlike Glen and Carly who play prominent roles in the story. If Doug is neglected by the gamers it's because he was neglected by the developers. Doug has far less scenes and opportunities to converse and bond with Lee. Personally, after playing through both scenarios I felt more upset about loosing Carly than I did about loosing Doug. It was the difference between loosing a friend and loosing an aquaintance.
  • edited June 2012
    Well...I'm not sure if he was neglected by the developers. The guy is kind of a stereotypical anti-social nerd. Oh he's a nice guy, but he kinda feels awkward around people. Hence why he is more than happy to just stare at zombies all day long and keep watch.

    Carley mentions how surprised she is that Doug saved her. And you go on about how people can surprise you. I think that is a good way to describe Doug. He's more used to being in his parents basement and doing all the nerdy geeky things that there is a social stigma behind. Now he's sort of out of his element...forced to work with others.

    You can't change a person's personality in a matter of days. I imagine Doug's character will grow with the story. Being that he isn't in your face and dynamic like the rest of the characters are isn't a bad thing. It's basically the way he is. He likes to be in the background. :)

    On my first play through I saved Carly thought she might be helpful and also support me if Larry tells everyone that Lee is a convicted Killer.
    On the second play through I saved Doug thought he might be of use with tech stuff and Carly did say that he rescued her.
    The third play through I decided to saved neither and I died so I choose Doug for no other reason than I had to save one of the to progress

    I saved Carly hoping that I would throw her the purse, then be able to rush to Doug.

    Too bar Clem is too useless to ammo feed Carly so that I could save Doug.

    *insert angry and vigorous defense of queen clem here* Seriously though noone in the K.I.Q.C.S. get on this guys case about calling Clementine useless. it's a pointless argument. Anyway back to your comments.


    there is plenty of things that could have been done diffrently. Carley could have kept her ammo right within grasp. Doug could have braced the window without using his back. alot of things could have been done diffrently. Besides why didn't lee tell Clem to get carley her purse while he got Doug.

    Like with the tractor and whether you blame Duck, Shawn, Kenny, or Herschel. Where you cast the blame says more about you then it does about the people you blame
  • edited June 2012
    I'd have loved to save Doug, but I didn't trust Carly (as much as I said otherwise) and figured if I were in her position I'd have told someone quietely that should anything happen, it was probably Lee. Keep your enemies close and don't let her die when you can be blamed for it.

    I am reading this right CapnJay is saying Clementine can't think for herself and has to wait for Lee to tell her what to do. One thing your right about CapnJay is that Clementine will never be a zombie and thats because you need to have a brain to become a zombie and Clementine doesn't have a brain it would seem :D
  • edited June 2012
    Doug is a likeable guy. But he was also one of the most expendable guys in the group.

    If you intend to survive the zombie apocalypse.
    I mean really survive it. And not just survive the 5 episodes this game has to offer. I guess i live myself into an RPG game like this a little to much. But on the other side, if i didnt i wouldnt bother with it.
    Your gonna need the children and the women, for obvious reasons.
    Your not gonna survive if you have a 5 man sausage party sitting around a camp fire jerking off while the woman and children was sacked 2 years earlier.
    And Doug, like Glen, Larry and Lee. Are the odd men out.
    Kenny, well he is a familly man and for now i take that into consideration, but he to is expendable if things get bad enough. And probably Katjaa, im guessing she is late 30, early 40?

    But ya. In another playthrough im gonna save Doug, just to get to know him a little better. Because this is a game and i can. But in my first and primary one, i didnt get that chanse. Pity.
