[Possible Spoilers] I wonder about radio guy...
Everyone seems to have tagged him as a bad guy, right off the bat (Save for a few, questioning people), but it's been boggling the crap out of me as to who he really is. As with the wait time between games, all I'm left to do is ponder, wonder and speculate about the game while I wait for the next episode to come out. I've come up with three possible scenarios about the guy we hear on the radio. Now, some are based on other peoples' conclusions, masses of conclusions and my own theories. I'd like to hear your theories on it, as well...
Have you ever considered:
1.) Radio guy is actually a good guy? Yeah, like Lee. Trying to save Clementine and assuming you're the bad guy?
2.) He's a friend of the family?
3.) He IS family?
Think about it. Clementine stated that her parents went to Savannah before, and stayed in the same place. What if this guy knew her parents, in some way? Maybe he was a work colleague, or family/friend they had over there. Maybe they befriended the inn keeper? If he got in contact with Clemmy, he'd want to try and get her to safety. Since she's already traveling, all he had to do was convince her to go to him (He does look old, after all, and probably doesn't have much spring in his step. Though, he sure runs really fast).
Now, I know there's a lot of loopholes in those theories, but hear me out.
1.) Clemmy lied about the radio. Clementine is a smart girl, and probably wouldn't fall for the lies of a complete stranger, but... what if she knew who he was? If she knew the person, prior (She stated she stayed at the Marsh House before, too), she'd be more prone to believe what they were telling her (Lee's a bad guy, I'm trying to keep you safe so you need to listen, etc.). If a stranger tried to convince her of going, she'd probably be more opted to inform Lee. Thus, the secrecy. :O
2.) It's been implied Clem's radio can communicate LONG distances. Maybe the guy has a booster tower, or has another radio. After all, most people know that handheld radios can receive transmissions from other radios, if on the right frequency. Another thought is, what if Clemmy's parents had more than one radio (One for the house, one for the car, etc.)? This guy could have one, or lifted one off of her parents.
3.) He implies her parents are alive. Well, if he's a good guy, he might be telling the truth. If not, he may have kidnapped them, or is holding them hostage. Heck, he might be telling the truth when he says they're "Right here" (Implying that her parents are next to him), as in he stumbled onto their dead bodies, and found said radio, or some information they carried that lead him to Clem (This one's the biggest stretch, so far, in my opinion).
I wonder if this is just a big misunderstanding due to lack of information on our part.
If it is, maybe this is where Clem shoots Lee (I'm still leaning toward that, if you've read my other posts). One never knows.
What do ya'll think?
P.S. If this post already exists, my mistake. I just haven't seen it yet. If it does, indeed, exist, please delete it or merge it. This post is just based on theory, and probably doesn't mean a hill of crap. Be nice when posting. :P

1) The previews for the next episode more or less give you a sense of what's coming next but should not be taken as screen clips from the actual episode..that is they are misleading and inaccurate.
2) I think that whenever an adult speaks to a child on a radio/phone the first thing they should say is "can I speak to your parent/dad/mom". Otherwise, they are a pervert until proven innocent.
3) We know Clem's mother may be alive (in the sense that she is not confirmed dead only) and that her dad is dead (he was bitten)
4) If a person uses a radio and transmits in the clear their transmission could be intercepted by another radio that is scanning all frequencies, at a high rate, in the UHF and VHF frequency bands.
I think theory 1, 2 and 3 are false but you could still be right that this is all just a big misunderstanding since the info we do have is very limited. Not insisting on speaking to Lee is a dealbreaker for me though. I think it prudent to assume the worst until proven otherwise.
Thats my two cents anyways
at the end of episode 3 Kenny definitely hears the Walkie-Talkie
And ya, TWD episode trailers are about as factual as the national enquirer; stuff shown totally out of context but if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck... (no offense to the dead)
I'm thinking I'll give him the benefit of the doubt, but he'd better have some truly fucking illuminating answers for me when I find him, because I'm bringing plenty of questions.
That goes for Clem too, btw. I've been nice/honest with her all the way, along with saving her tiny ass from many a gruesome demise. If she's been snitching me out to some creepy voice on the radio, I might just decide her hair needs to be made EXTREMELY safe.
I think he's a good guy but he sounded really creepy on the radio trying to talk to Clementine, so i'm not sure.
Could be Evil could be Good.
fixed
it's clems walkie so logic says 'mr x' is talking TO CLEM not lee...
would ttg really give us a nice legit older guy to help us with clems parents ?
considering what ttg have given us so far ? do you really think he's gonna help ?
fuck no..
Can we circle back to this for a second?
Or TellTale's gonna surprise us all by making him a genuine nice guy.
We'll see TellTale, we'll see...
People can act one way and think another, "a means to an end" phrase comes to mind if he wants Clem then he'll use Lee to deliver her
which to me is 'fishy'
Ben had a secret. Mr X "is" a secret. This can't end well.
Lee: What did we learn today Clem?
Clem: People with secrets tend to get other people killed or will do bad things.
Larry: Don't you have a secret Lee?
Lee: STFU - you died last episode.
didn't he just say he wanted her to find him no matter what lee says or something similar?
there are good reasons not to want to come out in the open to the people with Clem before he gets to look at them, and check them out.
wrong..so wrong..
the teaser /debut trailer was not in game footage
ep2 preview had the meat locker scene and some of the st johns
ep3 preview showed part of the train section with clem and lee, and some of the rv
but ttg tweak/change and move stuff around during the episode gap to make things better.
That's what i meant
