If the plant dies, your mom makes a passive aggressive comment about your maturity during parents' weekend. Man the guilt you'll feel. Also I absolutely adore this game. I preordered it the moment I could, having loved Remember Me and generally anything that involves school drama, and it totally is worth it. I'm very curious to see where the story ends up going as the first episode establishes so many subplots already.

According to Chloe, Rachel met someone special and left with this person. Do we think Max can travel far enough back in time to have interacted with Rachel and be that special person? It seems if she tries to go back more than a few minutes the screen turns all bloody so the power must be limited. I agree that Rachel and Max are connected in some way, but I'm not sure what exactly is going on. Are they the same person? We know that Max left, vaguely, for Seattle for some reason and at the same time Rachel showed up. Then Rachel left with this mysterious person and Max came back shortly after. Maybe Rachel is future Max? No idea how that would work. About the tornado, Max sees. I got the impression that it's metaphorical for the Vortex Club more than an actual looming threat in itself. Regarding the Vortex Club, I really don't think they have time travel powers. If they did, they would have fixed so many things. I think again their club name is meant to allude to the fact that they're a destructive force that is hurting the town. Nathan Prescott was talking about blowing up the school in the bathroom right? I could see him trying some kind of school shooting situation happening.

Maybe Max left because Chloe was in love with Max, but Max couldn't reciprocate those feelings. That would explain why Max seems so tentative about talking to Chloe when she finds the photo of her and Chloe in her dorm. Based on her room and her behavior, I think Chloe is pretty obviously gay, but who knows about Max or Rachel at this point?

I still think the tornado is a metaphor and not really like an actual tornado that's actually going to destroy the town. I don't think I need to spoil that since the tornado is in the first seconds of the game.

They probably all went to school together at whatever the regular local high school is before starting there. I mean that's what I assume. In smaller towns, there's not like multiple high schools like there are in cities. Even in that case, I knew about half my high school class from middle school because only two middle schools fed into my high school.

Woah holy poo poo that was hella good for cereal. The last half especially after the diner. So Max's powers are starting to cause physical harm and malfunction at times. I think we're going to see her become more and more powerful (such as gaining the ability to move while stopping time which she didn't have before the episode finale) but it's going to take more and more out of her. Also why was Victoria crying at the end before Nathan walked into her room? I think maybe he did the same thing to her and he was coming to threaten her to keep quiet, maybe?

Dr. Killjoy posted:Well that exceeded expectations...I think the wait is going to be even more unbearable this time - like the game is a TV drama that is consistently on terrible hiatus. Have Warren attempt the experiment once, then go ask the teacher who will tell you what chemical to use. After the experiment is successful, there will be a photo option. In terms of the three-way choice at the end, I chose Mr. Jefferson. For Nathan's choice, the principal suspended me probably because I've been choosing a lot of anti-authority options. I didn't want to blame security guy because I had no proof that what he was doing was absolutely wrong. I mean he admits to being aggressive and mean, but I don't really think he's actually a bad guy. Mr. Jefferson was clearly in the wrong as a teacher. Kate opened up to him shortly before her suicide attempt and any high school teacher should immediately recognize what a cry for help looks like. His callous attitude toward her later when talking to Max showed that Mr. cool-guy-teacher is still kind of an rear end in a top hat. What he said to Max about Kate was just so heinous that I lost all respect for him. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out Mr. Jefferson had some sort of sexual relationship with Victoria and then broke it off because she was thinking he actually wanted to be with her when in reality he just wanted to gently caress his student. That's why she's so upset and why she hates Max so much because he pays more attention to Max now than her. Rosalind fucked around with this message at 14:48 on Mar 24, 2015 |

Oblivion4568238 posted:My run has been a "Nathan Prescott is an rear end in a top hat and something should be done about him at every opportunity" run, and he's been suspended thanks to my actions so I guess I'm doing good. I feel like getting this must be a Pyrrhic victory though. Like what did you have to do to get the principal to believe you? He was so intensely skeptical of me in Episode 1 when I told him about the bathroom and I've been defending Chloe a ton so I feel like that's why they mistrust me. Maybe if I was less defensive of Kate and Chloe, they'd believe me more?

I have an understanding for Chloe being a bit of a gently caress-up. She's a teenage girl who went through some trauma growing up. Having spent several years as a teenage girl myself, I can say that I was at times a petty, self-centered bitch who started drama just for fun and thought I was invincible. Also I might be biased because I love her tattoo.

D_W posted:On Warren: I didn't even go to the lab to see Warren. he shows up very briefly in the photo class but doesn't really say anything and the teacher kicks everyone who isn't part of the class pretty much as soon as Warren sits down. I don't know if that always happens, but yeah, he is clingy creep. Notice how he's always like "you owe me" or "hey check out this thing I am into!" and never like "Hey take any cool photos today?" or try to talk about her interests? That dude just thinks since Max is a quiet and kind of shy that she'd be easy to get with. I bet the folks who are falling for Warren are going to find out he's not a cool dude at some point. He does that regardless. And yeah he's a total internet nice guy white knight. I mean sure he does take a beating for you, but his reaction isn't "This guy just assaulted both of us. Are you ok?" it's "I saved you and now you owe me." Max is totally his manic pixie dream girl or whatever.

Max posted:I don't know if this was unique to the "Kate Dies" playthrough, but I got a little stinger at the end of the episode that showed the red binder with Rachel's name again, followed by someone's hands working on a new binder for Kate, with photos of her. I think Rachel's dead. They are in every version of the ending I think. I assume they are David Masden's binders that he seems to keep on many of the women at Blackwell.

Episode 2 was released March 24th after being announced March 14th so if we're going to see a May 22nd release date, I'm guessing we'd see the announcement today or tomorrow. I think at this point May 29th is more realistic.

Genetic Toaster posted:Kinda sorta. Chloe dares you to kiss her. It's up to the player whether or not to. Yeah, but it's a pretty common LGB coming of age trope that stuff like "HA HA WOULDN'T IT BE SO GAY IF WE KISS DUDE? I DARE YOU TO KISS ME! OMG YOU DID YOU'RE SO GAY I AM TOTALLY NOT THOUGH DUDE. SUPER HETERO." happens. Chloe gets so upset about Rachel being in a relationship with Frank. Snuffman posted:Rachel is just an older version or alternate version of Max that puts herself earlier in the timeline to prevent the wheelchair/apocalypse and then removes herself from the timeline before she can meet herself...or something. Doesn't explain why Max doesn't recognize herself in pictures, but she hasn't gone through her rebellious hair dying phase yet Max seems to acquire a new power at the end of each episode. I wonder if one of those powers is somehow going to let her become Rachel or take on an alternate version of herself where she is Rachel? Seriously, every single person commenting WOW YOU'RE JUST LIKE RACHEL all the time to me is some pretty blunt foreshadowing that Max is Rachel somehow. Also on an unrelated note, Chloe ending up in a wheelchair is heavily foreshadowed throughout the story. For instance, her truck is first parked in the handicapped spot at Blackwell. Then she wants to steal from the handicapped fund.

Karnegal posted:I kind of knew that Chloe was going to get hosed up if you saved her dad, but I am also in the camp that you will swap back to the other time line. In the teaser for ep. 4 Max was in her standard clothes instead of her preppy gear, which seems to be what she has in the paralyzed Chloe time line. I agree. Effectively tossing out all the decisions we've made up until this point because we're in a different timeline seems like a pretty big mistake in this sort of game. Also this is the story of Max and Chloe. Stripping a main character of nearly all of her agency by placing her in a wheelchair, especially when that main character has been the driving force behind the story so far, seems ill-advised. I think the shock of Max being in this alternate timeline will wear off pretty quickly. We've seen a lot of the effects of the change already: Max is in the Vortex Club and is preppy, Warren is dating Stella, Madsen is the bus driver, William is still alive, and Chloe is in a wheelchair. I'm guessing Max will show Chloe the selfie she took of the two of them earlier that day and explain to her all about her powers. I don't know exactly what will happen next but the two of them will decide that Max needs to put things back the way they were. I could even see William being in on the conversation and being like "No I'd rather be dead and have Chloe free to enjoy life than to see my daughter stuck like this for the rest of her life." Maybe Max being able to go back and say "Chloe, you don't need to blame your dad. He did it for you." and show her pictures. This will have a major change on her outlook maybe and she won't blame her dad as she was at the end of the episode.

I blamed Jefferson because that was the only option that didn't result in me getting suspended, although I'm going to do a new playthrough tonight where I change some things so hopefully I don't get suspended this time when I blame Nathan. When Jefferson and Victoria are talking at the steps at night, Jefferson is really harsh toward Max. He puts all the blame on her and says something like "I got in trouble for listening to a student in trouble." What an rear end in a top hat. That's totally not what happened at all, dick. At least to his credit he doesn't act on Victoria's utterly transparent and honestly inept attempt at seduction and then blackmail. I really think there's more to Victoria than we're seeing, but I have absolutely no idea what's going on with her. We know she's a secret nerd. Maybe she's gay too and has a crush on Max. She doesn't know how to act on it so she's mean to her. It's again another common trope in the LGB coming of age story.
