Asian, hipster dude. Has a stupid high-cut to go along with his stupid scarf. Wouldn't let you look at his portfolio unless you answer his question about photographers.

Thanks for this, of the many legends in goon lore, that one is probably my favorite. :allears:

E: In the next episode, Warren will offer to share a computer with Max, sniff Max's hair on a bus, and panic and throw pizza at a minority.

This game is cool and good although yeah bottle collecting was a stupid puzzle for WORLD-ALTERING TIME POWERS. I pop big for stags. They could tone down the FIRE WALK WITH ME stuff though, we get it. The influences are already super apparent.

Kate died because of the dumb viral video even though I've been answering her phone calls and poo poo and collecting proof to bust David and Nathan... I had her talked down until she twisted my words when I called the video a blip amongst the billions of bytes on the internet. Bummer. But I'm gonna soldier on.

I blamed David even though clearly Nathan is the real evil rear end in a top hat. Beginning to suspect that David is actually trying to solve whatever the hell is going on, though. Maybe not the best choice for Chloe's family... but yeah by that scene I was more pissed off at skeevy Mr. Jefferson than anyone. How the gently caress is he gonna ask if Kate brought some negative attention on herself and then have the temerity to think I'm lying? Since when I am not his star pupil? What a cock. Adults and authority figures suck man.

Clearly the ultimate outcome of this story is gonna depend on whether you watered your plant in every episode.


Also I remain pretty impressed by like some French/French-Canadian devs and Japanese publishers approximating American teen talk and relevant references. It's not perfect but a lot of American media about the same demographic does a much worse job. This game would be good instructive materials for all burgeoning male Gamer types when you consider all the comments about Warren and stuff in this thread haha. He did take that beating, though, I can't totally blow him off. But a Planet of the Apes marathon sounds awful dude, get real.

I get the feeling that if you saved Kate, she'll end up dead in the next episode. We'll also encounter another near death experience for Chloe. I'd be surprised if it doesn't go down the whole you can't escape death route.

The whole train scene feels less like fate going out of its way to kill Chloe and more like it was borne out of Chloe's own stupidity.

While I'd be mildly bummed if Kate gets relegated to a off-screen role in future episodes, I would understand it as a design budget demand. If they just off her anyway, I think they'll really be undermining tension in future games. The whole, holy poo poo you lost your powers and you need to get this right NOW thing, was a powerful end to episode 2. If they send the message that what you did didn't really matter, then I think it'll be harder to take future tense situations seriously.

I wouldn't go that far, but Warren actually being a spy for the grand conspiracy instead of just a niceguy betamale would be a pretty sick twist.

Honestly naw I think she's just going to be off screen. Depending on how long the game goes in-universe it's perfectly viable to assume they're in the hospital the whole time.

Anyone else notice (Nathan stuff) that he has some either really fresh or really nasty scratches on his face?



That boy ain't right. I tell ya what.

I'm starting to wonder how much of this is misdirection, because there is so much stacking up against him now it would be too obvious. Obviously he's a total poo poo, but how far does his part actually go?

If you look in his utility room and find the pictures of Rachel, you can confront him about it and he'll muse that Max "has a lot of time" on her hands. :tinfoil:

None that I can find on Deviantart. Also can't find any Max x Warren either. There's hardly any Warren art at all.

Since it's slowed down a little again, time for some more hot license plate action. Looks like they've branched out from TV shows to movies though, which is totes cheating, and there aren't as many in this episode. Game is bullshit, zero stars.
