So, after going through a darn long depression starting in September after paying The Walking Dead, I've been close to accepting the fact it's only a game, and I was REALLY excited about Season Two, (not in a depressing way, as I thought I had finally accepted it as a game). However, now a few hours later after finishing the first episode I'm back into my regular The Walking Dead Syndrome, or depression I had a month ago. I didn't sleep a wink last night. I know from reviews the episode is gonna leave a mark in our hearts for a few days, but how do you guys cope with the aftermath? I want to re-play the episode more than once but I'm not sure if it's the best medicine right now. Still I don't think it's a good idea to try and repress the feelings, I should instead face them, by for instance re-play the episode until it gets boring. That I did with The Wolf Among Us, but that game don't have as much effect on me as The Walking Dead. And I've known since the first season I shouldn't be playing this game as it obviosuly will hurt me, but heck the addiction to it kept me on it.
So, how do you guys deal with the aftermath after a traumatic experience The Walking Dead can offer?

You know, one of the reasons why I am a bit pissed of the first episode of season 2 is because... Of the dog part. You know, I'm a big dog lover and I have lots of dogs. Unfortnately, I had some other dogs and they all died. One died because it was killed by somebody, two died because of old age, three disappeared and were never found again and one died because he was sick. I thought it was horrible with the death dog from episode 4 and the dead puppy from 400 Days but Telltale is really pushing it with the dog from All That Remains. I'm a bit depressed because of this. And right now, my dog got into a fight with some other dogs and he hurt his leg and it was bleeding.

That and pretty much everything else with Clem getting hurt. I'm still used to Season One Clementine and it really burns from within seeing her get hurt. We struggled in Season One to keep her safe and out of harm's way and still she's in this mess.

I know this is the Walking Dead but I think Telltale is really pushing it. Oh and those fucking dicks from the TTG forum say that we shouldn't feel sorry for a random dog because he bit Clementine and that they din't care for the dog. FUCK THEM!

I have a dog too, and even though Sam attacked Clem, I felt bad for him. Dogs don't have free will, not in the same sense people do.

This is a easter egg to Sam and Max, a game also made by Telltale which I like and Sam from Sam and Max is a giant talking dog. This really hurts.

How I cope with the aftermath?
In season 1 I kept my depression to myself, I never broke down in tears or anything but I felt dead inside. My days were filled with wonder as I tried to figure out what should I do now? I had never had a game that had that much effect on my before, I really think it has changed me. The 'death' of Kenny upset me, when walking with my dog I would discuss my experience with her. After a couple of days my thoughts turned to the possibility that Kenny was alive and eventually that flourished into belief. I had many theories on who the people on the hill were, I missed Lee, I hoped and prayed Clementine would be ok and after a while I turned my attention to season 2 and hoped for the better.
The aftermath of season 2? Being absolutely pissed and raging inside my head late at night in bed (no sleep) and raging in posts about it. Season 2 has drained me, not from emotions, not this time, but of anger.

I know. I seriously hope it improves in episode 2.
For now...I think I'll buy the game after all.

But I pretty much feel the same after All That Remains though. No anger, just depressing feelings and this big emptyness within me, not feeling to do anything, or play other games I used to love before.

I feel empty to, I also feel like a complete asshole not feeling sad when Omid died. Still can't believe it happened, its just so sereal, like a dream.
