    It would also give the game more variety..

    EDIT: I used to want Clem gone, but i started listening to Take Us Back from 105 over and over. Now i want her to stay for a while..

    I don't care where it is as long as Clementine is still in the game. No, the game shouldn't change main characters, that's be a dumb idea. C

    In Soviet Russia Humans eat zombies!

    I bet that zombie apocalypse in Russia would be very hardcore. Sadly, it will never be confirmed in the game.

    Research is boring yes, but without it the books would be boring and bland. Kind of like post 90's King's bibliography, but that's another topic.

    EDIT: Also, a lot of his books are massive mainly because he tends to indulge in what he and his critics call ''diarrhea of the word processor''. Like Under the Dome. Just because it's long doesn't mean it had a lot of research done.

    Even Stephen King said how much he hates doing research and a lot of his books are massive.

  • I didn't say he doesn't do research, just that he hates it. He kind of has to to build the worlds he does in his books. Kirkman probably doesn't think its worth it when the basic story of a zombie apocalypse is the same wherever you go.

  • I disagree. How people respond to a zombie apocalypse and how they adapt will vary depending on the culture they're from. I guarantee you than a MURRICAN surviving in a zombie apocalypse isn't going to be the same experience as, say, an Arab or a North Korean surviving a zombie apocalypse.

    There's an idea, Kirkman: The Walking Dead: North Korea Edition.

  • It's not as cold in Russia as you think there are.

    Feck it, send them to Russia or summat, the meat would keep itself frozen there haha

  • In Kirkman's defense, I can see how writing about a people and culture you don't have a personal and intimate knowledge with could be a nearly impossible task to do well, and would likely resort to falling on tired and likely insulting stereotypes. Research can only give you so much information, and a "native" of the culture you are writing about will likely see right through it.

    That is not to say I personally wouldn't like to see how other nations would handle the ZA, be it Kirkman's or someone else's vision. I would prefer it was someone who could do it justice.

    I think that would be awesome. Sadly Robert said something like "The Walking Dead universe will only ever take place in America. If you disagree with this you can kiss my ass"
