Nick's nihilistic speech
"Everyone I grew up with... it all happened to them. Now, it's gonna happen to us."
A couple of days later, I'm still haunted by Nick's words in the moonshine distillery. Especially the remark about "marching someplace else, only to see somebody else die". It's as if Nick has gained metacognition about the way Telltale works. The fact he ends up dying later in the episode (or the next, doesn't really matter) only adds an extra sting to his monologue.
The player can choose to agree or disagree with Nick's outlook, but what about Telltale? Are they going to prove Nick right? That's much more worrying.

That's a scary THOUGHT to say the least. Even SCARIER is the fact that that is a solid theory.

Good point, TTG is known for making those kinds of statements and making them real.
What's there to even theorize about this? He's depressed and is thinking pessimistically, not seeing the point in moving on when an untimely death is unavoidable in such a world. Not like it was some profound new thing. I agreed with him, anyway.
It's pretty easy to die in the apocalypse, even more if you're an incompetent idiot like Nick.

Some people get really depressed when they are drunk, personally I didn't really read to much into the phrase at the time since It's a token sort of mindset to fall into, every zombie franchise has one character that thinks it's all gonna end.
Or like you.
what?
Eh... wouldn't say Nick is incompetent. He did survive thus far, let's not forget he somehow survived a small horde of zombies surrounding him with nothing but his drunken boxing and a shed fulla moonshine. He's just..... been shaped into a jittery survivor due to past events.
I'm gonna pop some tags, only got 20$ in my pocket!
I, I, I'm hunting
Looking for a come up
