Just finished episode four, completely loving this series. I've hated Ben ever since we found out it was him that was giving the bandits stuff, and when he confessed to Kenny, I was ready to kill him there and then, but when it came time to choose I couldn't let him drop. He had just completley given up and I ended up feeling sorry for him. In the end, Ben was the only one who came along with me.

Felt sorry for Chuck, wouldn't have been a nice way to go. But I wasn't overly bothered by Brie's death. Had a real 'oh fuck' when realised Lee had been biten at the end, and surprised to find only 20% of other gamers hid the bite like I did.
There was more at work than the sheer "exitement" of letting Ben fall. Giving the inconsistency of how many times I've been lifted/dropped by Kenny, yet effortlessly lifted onto a roof by some strange chick with a mountain climbing hook (Molly, and "Hilda", respectively)... I kinda figured there would be some sort of danger I would be placed in by trying to pull a prone Ben up, only to have it backfire and put both of us in some "active time" danger in which I have to protect THE BOTH OF US because he sucks ass. No thank you. There was more at work than me being a dick to him, especially since I tried not to be a dick to anyone the whole game... but it seemed the path of least resistance, and kept the rest of us safer. Plus, he deserved it, so fuck him.

Also, I figured it was Ben in the first place. However, I didn't have any sure proof or catch him in any kind of lie or anything before the Motor Inn fell, so I didn't want to be all "It was him!!!" and then have them ask me to prove it like so much L.A. Noire. Hell, I almost admitted to it just to see what would happen. I just didn't think Carly would catch a case of shot-in-the-face syndrome over it. Absolutely will cop to it on another playthrough.

Somewhat unrelated, I wish Ben's fate would have been shared by Hope from Final Fantasy XIII. Those two can sit next to each other in hell as far as I'm concerned. Horrible, horrible characters. At least in Ben's case, I kinda was to blame for rescuing him in the first place. Hope is foisted on you from jump.

Lastly, the bite thing was kinda spoiled for me. I figured "you" weren't going to make it, since a) it's Walking Dead- nobody's safe 'cept anyone who was cannon- like Glenn and Hershel, and b) the artwork for every chapter acts as a minor spoiler... chapter 3 has the train, so you stop driving the RV and hop a train at some point, chapter 4 shows Lee, Kenny, and Christa, so pretty much that tells you you meet her and she's going to live at least into going to live into the next chapter. In the chapter five art, Clem's by herself. That in itself seemed suspect.
