Speaking from self experience, spoilers do in fact lessen the experience gained from playing through a game or watching a movie if you know quite a bit about it or watch someone experience it before you do.
I'd rather know in advance what I'm getting into. Better know if something REALLY shitty happens so I can avoid the game than get excited and have my hopes crushed. (That doesn't apply to TWD, though. That's one game I go into blind...and quite happily so.)
I do that with books too, to be honest. When I see something that interests me, I tend to read the last page just so I know whether anyone died or some contrived romance subplot takes place.
I like to find out who dies too, but I always end up reading the whole book, playing the whole game or watching the whole movie at first just to find out their cause of death, at least some times spoilers get you into the mood.

Different strokes an' all, I guess.
Two things I always do to help make my experience that much more impacting is this:
1) Turn of story-based notifications (Kenny will remember that etc...) The reason I do that is so that I'm left to my own interpretation on who my comments affect the story, without the game itself having to tell me I said something people might no agree with. It makes the experiance that much better for me personally.
2) Never watch the trailer. I never watch the trailer for any new episode, because for me not knowing what I'm going into make your experience with the episode that much better, you have less of an idea of which scenes will happen and what not. I remember when I saw Carver getting beat to death and I realised they tease that in the trailer when Kenny says he won't be a minute, if I watched the trailer first all I would be thinking is when this paticular scene will happen, so it's best not to watch them at all so you have no idea what you're getting into.

really? maybe it's PS3 and PC then, anyways it was pretty funny. Clem just sitting at the table eating oatmeal then the bowl moves off the table and starts floating.

I don't get why people like spoilers?
Because some people can't control themselves so whatever little sort of release they can find they take.

I like them because I see what'll happen in upcoming episodes. I mean it doesn't matter we're going to play the episode soon anyway.

Sometimes the smallest trailers and previews can contain the biggest spoilers
Yeah, by not watching the trailer you have no idea what you're getting into, which makes the surprise that much better.
Only a true,deticated fan of the game wouldn't ask for spoilers...I am not one of those peoples
I watch a whole walkthrough before buying the episode xd just so I know what to expect... I usually choose the humane decision for my first save

When I first saw it I was laughing out loud. It was the lighthearted comedic portion of the episode.
No, it isn't.
I've told you once.
When?
Just now.
No, you didn't.
You didn't!
Yes, I did!
Cool guide, next time you should write about how to cope with living on benefits and how useful mcdonalds coupons can be.
(I've sent it once, but it doesn't show up, sending it again)
You didn't!
You didn't!
I did!
Thank you!
yes McDonald coupons are very useful; good point. I'll take that into consideration next time I make a guide
You didn't!
You did not!
I'm telling you, I did!
You did not!
He did!
Are you the old man from scene 24?
Oh I'm sorry, is this a five minute argument, or the full half hour?
...Oh! Just the five minute one.
Just the five minutes. Thank you.
(sits down)
You most certainly did not.
Anyway, I did.
Have an upvote!
(It is gone yet again)
You most certainly did not.
Now let's get one thing quite clear: I most definitely told you!
