Bacon is really overrated. I have a lot of serious opinions on breakfast foods.

To be fair, omelets are pretty kicking. It could be a bacon omelet. With extra bacon. Canadian bacon.

The true breakfast of choice would be a crepe. Or a crepe and a belgian waffle for maximum sugar rush.

Best breakfast is cold pizza, but I can understand why it's not an option here. From the options, waffle is best.

I bought the game in no small part to this lp, and this whole breakfast scene was irritatingly buggy for me. I kept getting stuck in the rewind screen without being able to move backwards or cancel out and I would have to reload. There is another bug I ran into down the line that is kind of hilarious, but I will talk about that when we get there. So far none of the other episodes I've played have had these problems. Just episode two. Weird.

Thankfully I have been able to play or edit around a lot of them, but you might have noticed Max vibrating as she got out of the shower (she actually vibrated so badly it broke the camera on my first recording and i had to scrap it) or the weird pop-in out the window on the bus ride. Luckily I haven't gotten outright stuck or crashed in a while but I feel like episodes 3-5 were a bit more polished overall.

Fire Walk With Me is the name of the Twin Peaks movie. I haven't seen it yet after I watched Twin Peaks but I hear it's freaky. Twin Peaks is coming back in a couple years, FYI.

Answer the phone Chloe needs to be reminded that Max is the one with godlike powers here, and her whims are not to be questioned, but obeyed. Denying her requests is a good start. chiasaur11 fucked around with this message at 05:19 on Dec 29, 2015 |

Is it possible to play this as a non social goon who talks to no one, stays out of all conflicts, and just takes pictures of things? 100 HOGS AGREE posted:Fire Walk With Me is the name of the Twin Peaks movie. I haven't seen it yet after I watched Twin Peaks but I hear it's freaky. Fire Walk with me is a Twin Peaks prequel movie and covers Laura Palmer's life before she dies. It's not like the TV show because there's no quirky humor in this one.You could call it horror but it's a David Lynch film so that's pretty much its own classification.

Oh my god I love this gaaaaaame I was somewhat worried that the game would focus entirely on the characters and leave out Max's super loving cool power. Glad Chloe gets her to do a bunch of stupid poo poo when she finds out time travel is real. A shame she had to go and be a huge jerk at the last second though. Really? Asking your friend to skip taking a call because of you? Answering Kate is the only correct choice here. KasaiAisu fucked around with this message at 12:13 on Dec 29, 2015 |

Max bleeds out her nose after getting serious red around the edges on her casual time-travel. Doesn't associate the two. drat it Max, can you not walk and talk? This is the most contrived of all choices. YOU COULD JUST ANSWER THE PHONE, WALK OUT THE DINER, AND DO BOTH

Yeah, while But Max is clearly a girl that has doubts about most of the decisions she makes in general and that doesn't really jibe with standing by a decision when pressed about it.

There's a bit of a disconnect between the player and Max here - the game tells us Chloe is our best friend, but we've got at least as much characterization of Kate with our choices. To Max it might be a choice between a childhood friend and a virtual stranger, but to the player it's the choice between a friend in need and Chloe.

To Max it might be a choice between a childhood friend and a virtual stranger, but to the player it's the choice between a friend in need and Chloe. There's a few layers going on here, even with how shallow this choice is. Max spent her entire morning doing things for Kate, dispelling the rumors, removing nasty messages from her slate and the mirror, their whole long conversation. Is this phone call really going to make such a large difference? Chloe is very insecure and feels abandoned by everyone. It's petty but we can see why she would be miffed we answer a phone call from someone else in the middle of our designated hangout time. Is the call that important? It doesn't look like their conversation is super critical, but maybe it means a lot to Kate? Is it more important to be there for someone we've blown off for years or for someone who is in a time of crisis, though we've spent a large amount of time with them already this very day. How important are small events like this in other people's lives? Another point I feel comes up a lot in conversations about this game: the choices aren't about what you think you would have done in this situation. We are not playing as ourselves. Max is a socially awkward, anxious dorky teen. She is young and inexperienced and has no idea what to do a lot of the time. The paths we see in the Big Decision moments aren't explicitly "the only ways to handle the situation", but really the only routes a crappy kid sees. These are the things Max think might be okay ways to handle given situations and we get to help her choose which split second choice might be the least bad way to go. So when you think "jeez, this has such an obvious solution to me, she could just (talk on the phone while they walk) (tell kate to only tell the police and not the principal) (take the picture then go protect kate) and there'd be no problem!", those solutions are obvious to you as an adult with experience viewing the situation from the outside. I feel like we are meant to feel frustration like this the way you look back on dumb poo poo you did yourself as a kid and you're like, gently caress I could have handled that so much better, it's obvious now! But it wasn't obvious when you were a dumb kid like Max.

This is true. and our time travel powers suggest it's just a checking in to let us know that the cops/school are going to look into it. But then everyone is like "YOU'LL TOTALLY SEE HER IN CLASS. IT'S NOT LIKE SHE'S GONNA DIE OR ANYTHING." Which of course makes me paranoid that Kate is gonna get super murdered or something because she's making trouble for the rich folks. It's still frustrating and dumb. Just like teenagers amirite! (I stand by my vote.)

I don't think Chloe would be so mad about our taking the phone call if Max would just explain that it's Kate. One of Nathan's other victims. Like, Chloe of all people should be able to understand the position Kate is in. Especially since Kate wasn't able to escape like Chloe was. I guess Max being painfully socially awkward is as good a reason as any for her not getting those two in a room together and convincing them to go together to the police about what Nathan did to them, but this choice is just so frustrating because Chloe would be a good person for Kate to talk to and vice versa if Chloe would stop being so pissed off and Max would just be a little more assertive.
