I think we should let Warren beat the poo poo out of Nathan so Chloe can finally finish her class build and duel wield pistols.

Nathan's response to getting the poo poo kicked out of him is horrifying. I mean, yes, he's done some unforgivably horrible things, but drat. It's hard not to feel bad because there's clearly something not entirely right with him.

I think that actually happened to some French guy. He got dunked on by Vince Carter so hard he fell into a deep depression.

Frederic Weis, it ruined his professional basketball career before it even began and he even attempted suicide years later. Sad story.

The dunk loving owns though. It's refered to as "le Dunk De la Mort"

He didn't attempt suicide because of the dunk, though. His spiral into depression seems to have been caused by his son being diagnosed with autism in 2002, leading to the 2008 attempt.

This is true, Vince Carter did not fact dunk on a man so hard that it drove him to attempt suicide.

In non-dunk related news, Love is Strange, a fan-made visual novel based on Life is Strange, was released today. It's basically a lesbian dating sim? You, as Max, get to romance one of Chloe, Kate, Victoria or Rachel Amber.

It's set in an alternate universe (and not the alternate universe from the game with wheelchair Chloe and Vortex Max), without time-travel powers and missing girls, so I'm not sure if there'll be any spoilers, but it might be best avoided if you don't know how Life is Strange itself ends.

There is another Life is Strange visual novel in development, but that's set after the game, so it's massively spoilery.

Wow thread... yep, that's a good idea, beat the kid close to death and take his gun as well. Just what Max needs is the police after all of them for gun possession and felony assault.

Seriously doing this kinda of poo poo to Nathan kinda makes us the same as him... Which I suppose will make the reveal that Max is really Nathan in an alternative timeline carry more punch :rimshot: when it happens.

Hello good morning! It's Monday so why not a :siren: NEW VIDEO :siren:

:siren:Let's press the suspect for evidence and try to piece together this mystery!:siren:

And here's the journal pages for today!




Here's the flowchart image I was talking about! It's really loving huge, so definitely open this in a new tab and zoom in. It's actually too big for me to even post as a timg lmao. The amount of work that went into the scene with Frank is absolutely staggering!! I was actually surprised to review this flowchart after recording and seeing that I misremembered how to handle certain parts of it, but I still managed to get through okay!


PS I might be able to get another video out this week?? I'll try my best!

Incidentally if we didn't have the gun, Chloe gets mauled by Pompidou and it's one of the only situations where you're forced to rewind this scene.

Another reason why Pompidou is the best character in the game.

Really? Is it so bad to dislike a character? I think I've pointed it out before - immature, insecure, blaming everything on others. It's understandable but doesn't necessarily make her sympathetic in my book.

Look, claim the Prescotts own the cops or whatever, but at this point you have definitive proof that Nathan is involved with a drug dealer, is seriously unhinged, and is hiding something in the Mystery Barn. Take it to the press or something if the cops actually won't get involved (though with the amount of evidence we've racked up, I think even the corrupt cops would probably have to do something) but now is pretty much the point Max and Chloe should stop taking the lead on the Rachel Amber case.

poo poo seems on the verge of getting way too real. If nothing else, they should ask for backup. Maybe they don't want Warren around (and that's fair, a lucky nerd sucker punch doesn't make you the Hulk) but Frank's down to help and I'm sure he'd be useful if a conflict arises.

This is probably one of my favorite chapters for these two scenes. The bit with was Frank was pretty fantastic. Looking at it it's extremely linear, just don't gently caress up twice, and some of your previous choices play into it. It really nails in just how powerful Max's rewind power can be. And I kind of love that she's so pissed at Frank that even if you ask her to be polite, she still fucks it up.

And then the investigation bit. We spent the past few chapters getting a ton of information, but it felt really good to do some legit detective work and nailing down all of the clutter and it finally helps us get somewhere meaningful in finding out what the gently caress happened to Kate and Rachel.

Pretty sure even if the police were interested they wouldn't go anywhere near evidence that was obtained illegally i.e. two thirds of Max and Chloe's actual evidence.

Fun fact, evidence obtained illegally by a private citizen is absolutely admissible in court so long as the private investigator wasn't acting directly on behalf of or at the direction of the police.
