the deep message isnt dont trust someone with two first names.

Doesn't most people has two first names? I won't trust in anyone anyomore.
As i said before, It's a symbol of Clementine starting to shape her own character, The Independent Character. Starts off as an innocent child, Then into the unknown, Then starting to know people by her own, And then "Assumingly" gonna be given the choice of whom to join, Survivalists vs Community.
I thinks basically asking a question about morality.
What are you willing to do to stay alive?
How will you treat those around you, especially those who are in need?
And will you, or how far are you willing to go, to keep your humanity?
And I think it's also trying to say, that your decisions have consequences.
Your actions affect other people, not just you.
So think well before you act.
It's called being prudent.
I see it as a constant self Experiment on your (the Player) own Moral and Attitude Behaviour.
Morality vs. Pragmatism, Idealism vs. Realism,
Being in charge sucks; the 'right decision' can kill those you care about and make the survivors hate your guts.
Don't ever trust a man named Bill Carver.
In TWD, we see what happens when everything that humanity has built slowly crumbles: laws, culture, industry, and eventually civilization. When we're stripped down to our most basic core, what's left? Some people cannot function in this new reality (the sucide couple from the attic comes to mind), while others see the lack of social order as an oppurtunity to simply take whatever they want (such as the bandits or Carver). And then there are those who cling to the belief that, even though things are pretty goddamn bleak, there is still strength and hope in one another.
Sorry if that sounds really sappy, but it's what I think.
Lee Everett?
Haha yeah OR HE'LL GET YOU PREGNANT!!!
I think this game says a lot about humanity. Humans are far more unpredictable and dangerous than nature itself.
Everett is a lastname
It can also be a first name.
Yeah,but in Lee's case it is a lastname
well, it's not always the zombies you know
Family's the most important thing in the world. When the apocalypse comes, the folks you care about are all you've got left.
The message is - US army should replace soldiers with little girls armed with hammers.
Oh, absolutely! It's a story about people. How people endure, how they survive, how they break. How they give and take, how they cope with loss.
I think there are a lot of underlying themes you can find in the game, but the most overarching and enduring one is that it's an exploration of what truly makes us human.
Reminds me of the movie, Knocked up!
It's better to be respected, than liked.
Being respected, can actually save a person's life in some instances.
The true message I've found is to be an eleven year old girl if you're in a zombie apocalypse.
Then you can REALLY fuck shit up.
To add on to that: family isn't just blood relatives.
Of course. I just forgot to add that
I'm not even close with any of my blood relatives, so my family is comprised entirely of my friends. And I don't call someone a friend unless I trust them. Friendship is a big deal to me, unlike most people.
Being too kind will get you killed.
Someone who gets it. Finally.
That's probably a good way to be. I'm very quick to consider people friends, and it's hurt me a lot when i realized they didn't feel the same way. I'm trying to learn from that.
So what exactly does family mean to you? To me, it's the people you trust, whose needs are FAR more important than your own. The folks who give you incentive to keep going through the tough times. They're the people who you expect to be there for you, and you'd gladly reciprocate that favour.
You just about said how I feel. I think it's people who are there to support you during both your highest times and your lowest. People who are there when things are good but won't abandon you when it gets rough. And you, in turn do the same for them.
And I think it's people you can tell almost anything to without judgment, people who know you in and out, and vice versa. Like, you can look at each other and know exactly what's on the other's mind. You don't just trust each other, you really KNOW each other.
Even after the incredible writing in TWD, I easily shrugged off the idea of non-blood family. You really have to experience it to understand it. I've been having this feeling for a few months now. Never met anyone worthy beforehand.
Well, I'm glad you've found people now. That's a good thing. I hope it lasts.
It's neat how we can kind of see parallels in our lives with the stuff being written in TWDG. I've had people tell me I put too much thought into them, and that just blows my mind, because I don't understand how you can play this game and NOT have so many thoughts prompted from it. I'm glad I'm not the only one who sees deeper meaning and important thematic elements.
