I feel bad for Max's romantic prospects. She's going to have to compete with a lot of older women for that skater love: http://nymag.com/thecut/2015/11/enduring-appeal-of-a-skater-boi.html

Dunk on that nerd as much as you possibly can.

Nerds exist to be dunked on. It's the way high school works.

A majority of people saw that bird strike the window and did nothing to save it. Fuckers.

It's also possible they just never went in there and saw it, which will default to BIRD DEAD because you never intervened.

On the one hand the game does stuff like this and it's obvious they researched stuff about photography and then Max shakes her instant film and my immersion is crushed :colbert:
Everyone does that. Yeah it's true that it doesn't actually do anything but we still do it.

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.

Yeah, while teens people can be lovely and petty about dumb poo poo, this is definitely a situation where Max could have stood up for herself and not taken poo poo about taking a 30 second phone call.

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.

Also, I'm disappointed that we didn't blow up the car (the explosion is fun!), and we only had Chloe shoot herself once.

I feel bad for David's situation because he's obviously hosed up from war but I also don't have any sympathy because doing surveillance on teenage girls is hosed up.

Also I had an ex-military rear end in a top hat step dad with that same loving mustache that my mom later divorced so gently caress those guys and their lovely facial hair and hosed up concept of respect.

That Italian Guy posted:

Up until this episode I thought the idea was not to mention it directly, but to "homage" it indirectly (IE: the icon for savestates)...now I'm starting to think differently. I mean, as Dimebags Brain has mentioned, these are the exact effects of the "have a character not die" choice from the movie (become popular while your best friend becomes disabled).

Still I can't wait to see more!

Also, I'm a sucker for Time Travel Shenanigans, so I'd like to recommend something that's outside the normal list for the category: S6 E14 of the X-Files, titled "Monday" and written by Vince Gilligan https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monday_(The_X-Files)

It looks like the usual "Groundhog Day" plot, but it comes with a twist that I've really appreciated: when presented with the same event, the characters respond slightly differently to it, as a human being probably would. Apparently minor differences sums up and lead to different outcomes, even if the starting point is the same every day.

Stargate SG-1 has a really good time loop day episode too.

With a letter like that a lawsuit would probably have been a slam dunk but the Prices don't have the financial means to go down that route and the school knows it.

Well I'm a dummy. The worn down keys went entirely over my head. Fun fact: every note, newspaper or file you view is "saved" in a "location" in your journal. There's Blackwell girls dorm, the Price home, Junkyard and more. Even without the episode 4 puzzle where you crossreference Franks book and David's surveillance, there are a loving poo poo ton of files in the Price home! I scrolled for ages to find that lovely keypad code!

The barn and the amount of binders raises interesting questions: how long has this been going on for? Surely the police, bought or not, would be forced to act if, oh, several dozen young women went missing from a tiny town within a few years time? If it's been going on for longer, does it run in the family? Nathan is only 16, so unless he's been drugging and killing girls since he was a preteen there's got to be an accomplice.

Well Kate didn't get killed so it's possible that the women usually don't die?

That many binders, and the messages from Nathan's dad... I gotta think that the Prescott legacy is extremely dark.

Max's powers not working when she's fatigued from overusing them was already a thing, her not being able to use them when she's passing out due to powerful tranquilizer doesn't seem unreasonable.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that's how she gets the flashback at the beginning - she'll probably eventually leap into the selfie she took in class that first day.

Whatever happened to the polaroid she managed to tear in half somehow and left in the girl's bathroom way back at the beginning? Didn't Nathan pick that up and that was how he knew to go after her?

Max herself said she was loving up alternate realities. I think she's just trying to leave the best reality she can behind, before she jumps away from it.

I just realized; Max was planning to submit a selfie to a photo contest titled "Everyday Heroes".

Conceited, much?

Remember the picture tho, while she was framed in the picture, she wasn't in focus, all the pictures of other people were. It was a picture that featured her but was not explicitly about her.

Much like this game. :v:
