Ten years ago today we shipped Firewatch. I say this every anniversary but it feels both like a lifetime ago and like it was yesterday. Thank you everyone who played it back then or played it today for the first time. Thank you to everyone on the team, I’m still so proud of what we made.

In episode two of The Walking Dead, out in the woods you encounter an abandoned station wagon full of supplies that you can choose to steal and not give back. As a result of that choice, Clementine ends up wearing a hoodie inspired by the poster for the 2003 movie "Kangaroo Jack."
