Desktop support at a company. It's crazy easy (mostly AD password resets and very basic troubleshooting), an amazing environment that's also very laid back, and it's fun!

Does the game have as many gaping plot holes and inconsistencies as the show?

If it doesn't it clearly isn't "the walking dead" game.

Speaking of the walking dead.
The one thing I never got was, if you're taking up residence in a prison, why wouldn't you find the keys to all of the locks, and lock the iron doors at night.
Seems like a really simply way to keep zombies out / not becoming food.
Plus you could just get a bunch of iron pikes and stab zombies in the face until you need to nap. Rinse and repeat.

I've not seen that in the game yet.

@scottalanmiller Have you seen it in the tv series?
I just don't get the logic applied.
If IT people were stuck in a zombie wasteland, we would immediately end it with logic. I swear Michonne was an IT person before this all went belly up.

Because then you'd be absolutely swarmed with zombies and never be able to get back out.

No food, no water, no private bathrooms. You'd starve or disease would spread like crazy.

Most IT people I've known would be dead, rarely ever do they think with logic. It's the only outcome of a thought process such as "I changed my grandma's video card, therefore I'm a computer expert now because she says I am." In other words, people who think they're smart, rarely ever are and will be the first to die because they think their decisions are informed and infallible. I can tell you having lived through an actual war myself, "smart" people tend to be those who move around a lot, know how to hide well, and don't take sides. I imagine a zombie situation wouldn't be that much different. Additionally because I did take sides in said war and had close calls, I can assure you I am not smart.
Additionally still being smart has no bearing on one's ability to properly dispose of human waste or find good drinking water. I learned how to do that in the military, I sure as hell didn't learn it in any of my Computer Science courses whilst I was studying for something completely unrelated I couldn't find a job in. On that thought, side note, most of the people on that Preppers show would die too, they're all really, really stupid, and the fact they'd go on the show is the #1 reason.

@tonyshowoff Change it one more time while I'm reading it, I dare you!
And I agree that preppers show / people who go on it are insanely stupid.

The real thing here: Unless you have actually used survival skills in a real setting (reading about them doesn't count 99% of the time) the chances of you actually being able to survive a stressful situation are pretty slim. Book smarts will not do you a whole lot of good in bad situations where you have to react quickly.
