[noskinoah]

That moment when you realize that Omid and Barney look alike, after reading that article about Telltale mentioning Half Life.

1) ...Moment* D:
2) Yea,they do look alike

[ExplosiveGoat]

I never noticed that before!
They kinda sound the same as well

[thewalkingwalker]

About that beer I owed ya...

[ASSASSINO]

So, Omid isn't an animal person?

[Mafon2]

I'm bad at recognising faces.

[dubesor]

the general structure of the face is similar but the most distinguished thing about omid are his abnormally huge eyes which Barney doesn't have.

[Nuked]

They aren't even the same race.

[JamesDMorgan]

"Oh s***t, you've got a kid! Catch me later, I'll buy ya beer."

[gimmeseason2]

I just don't see it..

[Demopan]

Barney is white. Omid is Persian.

[Robbingrobin]

How do you know that, lol?

[J_Scheff]

How are you getting that they look alike.

Noses are different
Eyes are different
Hairline and hair is different
Ears are different
Skin color is different
Jawline is different
Eyebrows are different
Chins are different

Really I dont see similarity here

[Thefallen365]

While we're on the topic of Half Life, my sole purpose for trying to keep Mark alive was his resemblance to Gordan Freeman.

[Riadon]

Other than the facial expression, there isn't much similarity.

[Nuked]

What? They're both white and wear glasses?

The best part is that they aren't even the same glasses.

[Nuked]

My bad, they both have facial hair too.

[anonymau5]

My bad, they both have facial hair too.

And... my God.. they're both MALE! I really think we're on to something here!

[CarScar]

Might all be true. Maybe I just have bad face perception but to me they looked pretty similar. Not 'oh my gosh, twins!'-similar but enough to at least mention it :p

[superboy2011]

Yep Omid is Persian alright
I am Persian and Omid is a Persian name
it stands for hope
you can check it at Google translator:
امید

lol. Just because Omid is a persian name, he has not to be one. Thats not how the world works, you know?

[anonymau5]

It makes it more likely that he's Persian. Or that his parents were Persian.

[Robbingrobin]

Pretty naive, but lets keep it this way.

[superboy2011]

lol. Just because Omid is a persian name, he has not to be one. Thats not how the world works, you know?
his face looks pretty Persian to me,Probably because BOTH his parents were Persian...
Of course your right...
a lot of Persian families moved to the U.S in the 1970s SO he is probably american with a Persian origin...:confused:
but tell me,why would any family name their child with a name originating from another country?:D:D
but anyway....
barney and omid look nothing alike,dude
maybe their general face structure is kind of like each other but their noses,mouthes,brows,hairs are totally different...
i'm kinda interested to how "demopan" knew,is it in the wiki?
EDIT: checked it
yep, its mentioned already...
links here:
CLICK (http://walkingdead.wikia.com/wiki/Omid)
in the trivia part:
"Omid is the first Persian in The Walking Dead Universe to be introduced and specifically named."

*laughs* When one of the devs says, he's persian, I'll accept him as persian. As long nobody says something like this, he's just some guy. You can't trust that wiki at all. And in China, people call their children John and stuff, is that enough as answer to your question?

No. They don't. I have no idea where you got that from. I've been to China. I mean, some people do, but that's not the majority.

[Robbingrobin]

Whe don't have a majority of persian people in america, either. The name has nothing to do with the lineage. Just because he is a bit darker skinned and is called Omid, it doesn't make him a persian. He could be a turk, too. Or a mexican. I have a spanish friend called Oskan, and he isn't even muslim.

dude,i'm Persian...
you think i can't understand the difference between a turk or afghan(:D) or maybe even indian from my own people?
and by the way omid is an original persian name,meaning that it's not arabic,so turks or arabic countries don't have the name omid....
and another thing...
WHY THE HELL ARE WE HAVING THIS ARGUMENT IN HERE?
i suggest someone makes a thread for it with voting...
:D

[Mornai]

His parents could probably have named him that simply because it's a unique name(for that area). It wouldn't be the first time and won't be the last.

It seems easy to mistake racial identities due to the art style of the game. :confused:

Heck! With that logic me and my father are greeks (i've got kinda greek nose also, so no doubt that i'm a greek) and my bro and my mom are italians.

My uncles: german, russian and one more greek (that's a lot of greeks).

[Sutinen]

lol. Just because Omid is a persian name, he has not to be one. Thats not how the world works, you know?
Yeah, because you have seen a white girl called Laquisha and a black guy called Kawabato, right?

[superboy2011]

guys as i said before it's best to make a thread for this topic and argue there cuz everyone knows what the discussion is about...
i'm not gonna make it since i wanna be sure it's a question for others too noy just for me and 2 or 3 other people,
sutinen and mornai you guys are right,i accepted that already in my previous posts:
Of course your right...
a lot of Persian families moved to the U.S in the 1970s SO he is probably american with a Persian origin...
but we should make a topic for it with voting and discuss it there
