"The first tape Lee watches is dated, "October 9th"... According to the first tape, October 9th was Day 82 since the outbreak, implying that the outbreak took place on July 20th. When Lee enters the nurses room after finding the second tape, he says it’s dated “October 10th”, however on the tape itself, it reads “83 OB," (83rd day since outbreak) further confirming that the outbreak began on July 20th."

The Walking Dead has never really had a precise year it was based on, I know the TV series is based in 2010, though. I guess they have their reasons for never releasing a date of the apocalypse. But if I remember right, isn't there a 2005 license plate in Season 2?
They never stated any time, but a lot of people assume that it's somewhere around the 2003 area. Honestly, I think they have their reasons for not releasing any dates, I don't know.

Yes the game follows the comic book so when Lee met Clementine it was 2003 but 2 years has passed so its 2005 but if u do the math 2005-11= 1994 so clem by 2014 would be 20.
Rise of the Governor has references to twitter in one of the early chapters which is just as the outbreak is starting. Which indirectly suggests the first year is 2006.
The comics started in 2003 so that's when the apocolypse started in the story. I believe it is now 3 years into it in the comics, making it … more2006. The game follows the comic continuity and it is about 2 and 1/2 years in, making it 2005. The show is didferent. Since the show started in 2010, the apocolypse started in 2010 and I think it's two years in now, making it 2012. This is because Glenn mentions the video game portal, which came out in 2009.
Many possibilities suggest that we will never know when exactly ZA has started. Some clues suggest 2003, others 2005 and 2007 or 2008. I think it's just doesn't matter for the story itself so...
It doesn't really matter when it is set. Rise of The Governor contains a reference to Twitter in an early chapter when the outbreak is just starting which places it in 2006 at the earliest.

Yes and comics suggest 2003. TV show 2010 as the earliest date but like I and you said - it doesn't really matter because in The Walking Dead story itself is the most important thing.

Nope. Comics are canon for the game from Telltale so it has to be 2003 like in the comics. (it's probably 2003. We don't know because Kirkman NEVER said anything about when ZA has started)
So, if it IS 2003, Duck would be like.. what, 22? 23? DAYUM. And Kenny?! He's 47 now, so.. hmm.. 58. woww. Luke would be like.. late 30's? Rebecca's baby would be Clementine's age in the game right now. Hmph.

Rebecca's baby in Clementine's age? Assuming that ZA started in 2003 (just assuming) then her baby would be born in 2005... yes in 2014 she could be 9 years old.

Nice, man! So, the apocalypse could have started months or years after 2005. I'm just making an assumption here, but I'd guess the outbreak happened around 2007, which would make Clem fifteen right now.
However as the novels and the comic are also written by Kirkman it's a question as to whether Rise of The Governor overrules what has been suggested in the comic.

I doubt that because comics are still release. Also comics came first and everything else from TWD after them so they're the main canon of this universe.
