Telltale Games

DatDude · 12/11/2012, 02:45 pm

It was insane.

I let him borrow my copy of the game, and he invited me to to his house to see him play the final episode. I knew he would probably get emotional since I saw how attatched he was to the characters and whatnot..I honestly did not expect though for him to react the way that he reacted.

When he saw that lee died, and saw the credits roll, he literally took this toy wooden baseball bat and literally swung with all of his power and smashed the tv to bits. Screwed him up emotionally, insane.

Congrats telltale?

Nah, he's 28. Lives with his parents. He has some type of mental disability, I believe it's called aspergers syndrome? He acts a bit eccentric sometimes, and has a short fuse in terms of emotion. I guess he just snapped

I knew a guy with aspergers. He basically played shooting games and Hitman. Sooo, I probably wouldn't let a person like them play the Walking Dead (Since they can get really emotional.). But thanks for warning us!

I see a lot of things like this and I question the decision of whoever it was that labeled me with aspergers, (I don't remember, it was a long time ago) because while I AM weird (I guess) and pretty anti-social, I certainly don't do things like bust a tv over a videogame...

Ghositex · 12/11/2012, 04:04 pm

Yeah, we used to have this classmate with asperger syndrome, until seventh grade. He was a nice guy, but he never smashed a TV.. Not that I know, at least.

Pics or it didn't happen.

Moggyoxys · 12/11/2012, 04:08 pm

Was he trying to imitate Clementine or something? Also, people react to events in their own ways I guess.

As far as I remember, people with Asperger syndrome tend to create strong emotional bounds with some objects: OP's friend seems to have done this with the game

i have mild aspergers and i dont get "really emotional" over games
I can get emotional (the walking dead games, mass effect ect) but i would not smash my tv lol
just wanted to say that u shouldnt judge us all because we have a disability
some are more severe than others

Your friend has issues with anger control. If you argue with him I'd suggest doing it over the phone.

This was not the game for him I'm thinking.

Well, I wouldn't have a reason to bs. Just thought it was quite surreal...I mean, I saw alot of videos of people breaking down crying over the ending on youtube, I thought for sure he would cry or be emotional to some extent, I just didn't expect him to react the way he did. lol.

As for pictures, I would love to post them... except for the fact I didn't take any... and, to be quite honest, I feel like I would be invading his privacy anyway's by making him look like some freak show by parading his smashed tv on the internet

Too bad you didn't take pics.
Too bad for your friend though.. Assburgers can be a bitch.
