no matter how shitty the world gets, the fact that dodger and jesse are still good friends makes everything a little better. edit: a lot of people don't seem to understand what i meant by this. internet personalities don't usually stay friends for so long and i'm happy they're still talking to each other, even after so many years(see most youtube friendships, sbfp being one of the most recent). nothing, to my knowledge at least, "happened" between them, it's just rare for these types of friendships to last this long. it's nice that some things haven't changed.
marocstars -- I think it's just acknowledging the fact that you see people, in general, but especially online that were really good friends at one point, and then eventually either grow apart or have a falling out. It's just nice to see friendships that last.
Just to make it clear to those who are confused: This game takes place 3 years after the original Life Is Strange and yes it's all new characters as far as we know.
So I remember back in Captain Spirit, an article on the computer talked about a police officer shooting a person of color in Seattle that has activists all over it. If it's the same event, then Captain Spirit takes place like at least a month after this? Since this is around Halloween and Captain Spirit was more around Christmas.
There was a dead kid with blood all over him on a floor how is it unnecessary panicking? You come see a kid covered in blood about to die and you are like everything is cool lets just chill out...
I understand that there was the kid with fake blood that had bumped his head, possibly in to unconsiousness, I don't think he was dead. But as an officer, and with complying children he clearly lost his nerve when instead of assessing the situation further, calling for an ambulance, etc. he discharged a gun on a "random" newcomer in the form of their dad.
@@wrester1239 Did i say anything about shooting ? The comment above states that the officer panicking is unwaranted... I believe that it's okay to panick if you see a kid covered in blood about to die.
Like the police officer is in the wrong. He never called for an ambulance he just let the kid die or get paralyzed on the floor. He paniced instead of calling for help the whole story was framed to put the officer in the wrong. Like it based off real shit that happen everyday. It just lis2 wanted it to be nicer than a brown man getting shot in his garage for just playing music. (Just like it real life.) Or a kid getting shot walking through his neighborhood but ya know.
I can already see people saying this game's dialogue is cringy, but honestly the relateable and accurate details so far outweigh the cringe for sure. Sean definitely reminds me of myself as a teen so much. The self-awareness of how ultimately uncool he is, the relationship to a friend or friends that are cooler than them and the whole issue of being wrapped up in how to act and how to be cool. Ultimately though he cares for his family and he's pretty supportive but hostile to upsetting aspects of his life and defensive about anything personal. That's what I'm getting so far with the whole jehn thing and the stuff about his dad and mother. Honestly glad to see that he doesn't completely fall into the arrogant teenager stereotype and that this very first part of the game has you consider all these little aspects about a party. I just hope people don't start to say he's unrealistically good character, he feels exactly like I would in these situations. Really promising start to me.
to me the cringiest part wasn't the dialogue, it was how contrived that ending was. felt like it was written by a white frenchman who has no idea how a situation like that would play out in real life. like this was beyond David Cage levels of schlock and ham-fisted social commentary
@@umphreak9999 So glad the first comment is someone who points that shit out. The scene was very very unnatural, and the thing that is going through my head is they had the chance to get that right and they fucked it. The first moments of the game are from the cop's car POV right? So use that to establish that he is a new recruit, racist, easily frightened etc etc AND THEN include the cool foreshadowing. Like how, unless we are getting exposition on that one random ass now dead cop later on it just comes off as poor writing despite such a super legit and down to earth set up they had.
A list of every weird LiS opening song these beautiful massive dorks have sung Life is Strange - “This game uses an autosave feature, please do not turn off the game while it’s saving~ Square Enix made the game, Dontnod made it too~ I guess they made it more than Square Enix did, ‘cause it’s Life is Strange~” Life is Strange: Before the Storm - “Gotta be about the rubbing, boning down~ Downtown, it’s where I’m gonna take the rub~” Life is Strange: Farewell - “You’re a little cat, and also a pi-rat~ And I’m a slime in a cage... or a ghost~ But it doesn’t matter because we’re friends, and we like to play with our best friend host~” Captain Spirit - “Captain Spirit! We’re back, so don’t you hear it It’s time to play Captain Spirit (Yeah) Everybody don’t fear it, it’s time to play Captain Spirit Captain Spirit, he’s in our hearts, And he’s got our lady parts”
Ghost_Leader I was gonna leave this exact comment to Jesse like "Buddy, the playbox was the thing Captain Spirit wanted for christmas. It's an in world thing already, silly Cox"
Yo !!!! Wait a minute !!! What about his friend ???? Was she listening through the Skype chat ??? Did she heart the gun shot and explosion ???? Oh my God my h e a r t
As someone who use to partake a long time ago. That is totally a weed pipe, it's just missing a screen. I mean we are talking about people who will use a soda can or an apple to smoke out of. So if you can smoke out of it its a weed pipe.
Why would you say that... do you know how long it took me to find this video (with music)? Like 3 minutes. I could have made it about 1 minute... but STILL.
Not sure if "I know my rights as a U.S. citizen but maybe you don't" is meant to be in a immigrant discrimination context but it makes me feel bad inside. Edit: Holy shit a supportive father, I'm envious.
@WillFanofMany No girl besides Chole was a confirmed lesbian is LiS. Max could go either way, Victoria clearly wasnt, Stella Alyssa Brooke Taylor Juliet Dana Kate were pretty confirmed to be straight, Rachel was banging frank so she is probably Bi. Other than that,Thats it.
Originally I would have said, no she's just calling him uneducated. Most people think of mechanics as being idiots, so it's a jab at him not knowing his rights not him not being a citizen. But after watching the episode. Nope the dev's went full SJW, cops are the bad guys, everything is trumps fault and everything is about race.
Still, he probably noticed and forgot about it. There have been times in WoW where I read a quest name and it's a song reference, or some other shit but I don't really notice, but then it's stuck in my head for awhile and I wonder why. Subconscious is OP.
What are you so excited about? Captain Spirit takes place in the same world as LiS, how is it so astounding that two kids in that world have the same console
Yes! I'm so excited for this. The dialogue is a lot less cringy to me tbh. Aside from the constant "stoner" references. And I know the injoke, you guys mean when you saw the birds on the roof in this opening, referencing the crow in the junk yard from Before the Storm!
This is going to be another few months of...WTF?! Nooo, they can't stop there?!!!!! Isn't it? Excellent! Right now, I'm trying to imagine a 16 year old rebellious Jesse.
This is better than the first one in some ways to me already! I wouldn't watch a LP of anyone else playing it besides you guys anyway, of course. The dialogue, though there's some campy stuff still, is SO much more natural than the first game,
Omg thank you so fucking much for leaving the damn music on. Super appreciate it! can't say the same for so many other youtubers who don't need the income from this one video that badly (like Jacksepticeye and the such). But fair enough. Edit: Okay I'm very glad I ended up here.. you two are great for commentary.
Its kind of sad that the incompetent police officer is the most realistic thing about this game? Like, honestly. How did that pathetic cowardly shit ever EVER graduate from the academy?
FoxerBoxerNaaniwa Not defending the US police force it can be pretty bad in some places. But not every cop can be great at their job, I imagine he recently graduated, or has never even been involved in a real fight or altercation, then there's a kid covered in blood barely breathing on the ground. He panicked, like everyone in that situation. While he had no reason to shoot, the father had no business ignoring the cops orders and running toward him.
The Tech Dweller Yeah i also think this was unrealistic... but isnt it a small town....? Police in such towns simply might not be used to any "real problems" thats why he panicks... dont know but this part just seems unrealistic :-)
The Tech Dweller If he is a recent graduate I dont think he should be allowed to do field work / patrol without a partner. I dont know how the Police agency works in the US but as far as any workplace goes, a new recruit should never be left alone to do critical task like patrolling. Roman might be right with it being a small town and maybe crime rate is low there so a sudden active crime could actually instigate panic since its a tense situation.
This is so sweet in any way imaginable. I literally had to stop at 15:49 and will now wait until this magical LP is finished and I can enjoy it in an super-duper-mega-emotional-chillout-dodger-cox-weekend-extravaganza with my ol' friend Sweet Johnny.
Over the past weekend I watched every Life is Strange episode you two played together on a whim, and I got incredibly lucky to find out this game was coming out so soon!
Weed was Legal in Seattle for about 3 years in 2016. Hell I lived above a Marijuana shop in Seattle about three years back, they've been around a while.
I like the mirroring of events of Life is Strange 1, where you start by preventing a person from getting shot, while you start this game by dealing with the consequences of a person getting shot.
Oh man, okay now I've officially watched the entire video and.... Can I just say that this has already hit WAAAAYYYY harder than LiS1, AND before the storm did combined? Like. This just seriously is was more emotional thanks to the family aspect. I thought this was going to be another poorly voice acted, poorly written mess that made me feel nothing for the MC, but.... Damn. D a m n.
watching life is strange gameplay always depresses me. Coz it's like "Look at these normal people doing normal things!" at the beginning. While I'm over here, having never experienced ANY of that because of mental illnesses that took me out of school
I went through school, I was a small little moron, don't think I ever had a father-son moment, don't think my mom ever worried, moved away from my childhood friend, got bullied, skipped all the parties, never visited anywhere, never needed to ask for money cause there was nothing I wanted, my "rebellous phase" was developing insomnia, never did a part time job, developed a life-lasting disease, didn't try much new, my cats died, wouldn't even know where to get drugs if I wanted too, all the girls i knew were retarded or sociopaths or both, never any interesting gossip, no one had interesting skills, didn't go to prom, graduated highschool. This romanticized childhood and idea of growing up? You might be more likely to win the lottery. I look at some of these teenager moments and think about how I never experienced it either, despite actually having gone through most of my youth already. But then I remember that it's also many bad things that I "missed out" on.
Dude me too. I had to leave public school half way through my 8th grade year, and then we ended up moving so I had to go to a high school that was way bigger than my middle school. I ended up leaving public school permeates a year and a half later because of depression and social anxiety.
i didnt even know this was coming out... the last several days i have been binging jesse and dodger life is strange, before the storm, and captain spirit. i literally finished a couple hours ago and then this
My Dad Loves octopi and now he someTimes answers questions with just an octopus emoji. I've come to understand it usually just means vague agreement. XD
Was anyone else really enjoying it until the end? I mean I get the cop thought that the dude was really bleeding with the "fake blood" and bs, but seriously it was such a comical overreaction to the whole situation I couldn't help but laugh
Really? Because I've seen a cop shoot a man after telling the guy to get his wallet out of the car, with the guy doing exactly what he was told. So don't come at this with your bullshit.
ooof, didn't expect you guys to choose some questionable decisions, you didn't even check on Denial's room again lol. It's your play through though, have fun with it :) (please be nice to Denial ;-;)
What's with those big ass rocks being in the middle of the yard? It seems like a moderately manicured lawn and rocks like would have to be removed so they don't ruin the mower. And for being so politically aware it does not seem to occur to the dad to stop approaching the jumpy cop. The whole ending to this segment feels like they just jumped the shark, which is a shame because I was looking forward getting to seeing more of Sean's life and how the inevitable strange phenomenon begin to turn it upside down. The original LIS did have a pretty big inciting incident as well but not one that completely launched the MC out of their ordinary life before we got to understand and be invested in it.
Yup, kinda looks like someone described them to the artist without telling them where they were from and let the artist fill in the details. A bit more of a stretch but if someone at Dontnod is slipping references into the journal, I wonder if the "Ollie ollie Oxen free" could be an Oxenfree reference.
I wonder why it asked if you sacrificed Arcadia in the first game. I wonder if Max will be involved in the plot at some point. Also, that robot samurai drawing reminds me of my brother’s school work. Jesse has seen my brother’s work because he liked a drawing my bro did of him getting married to Hawt Dawg Man.

Are you too cool for hugs?
Never !! Hugs be the baddest business !!!
hugs are too cool for me
So cool, like you don't even know cool.
Hugs are drugs and who doesn't like drugs
Depends on who's doing the hugging.
no matter how shitty the world gets, the fact that dodger and jesse are still good friends makes everything a little better.
edit: a lot of people don't seem to understand what i meant by this. internet personalities don't usually stay friends for so long and i'm happy they're still talking to each other, even after so many years(see most youtube friendships, sbfp being one of the most recent).
nothing, to my knowledge at least, "happened" between them, it's just rare for these types of friendships to last this long. it's nice that some things haven't changed.
YES And they make us happier.
They're too dang wholesome.
THese games are pretty ideal for them, yeah.
Still good friends ? Did i miss some drama
marocstars -- I think it's just acknowledging the fact that you see people, in general, but especially online that were really good friends at one point, and then eventually either grow apart or have a falling out. It's just nice to see friendships that last.
"And now: 36 minutes of exploring one room"
That's the most Jesse Cox sentence ever uttered.
That eyebrow waggle at the adjudication of the Chock-O-Crisp was perfect.
I'm more of a fan of Daniel waving his arm as a "Big Nope" when Esteban guilt trips Sean (and Us)
Just to make it clear to those who are confused:
This game takes place 3 years after the original Life Is Strange and yes it's all new characters as far as we know.
That joke was clearly a Hawtdawg man thing.
Cinderbloom nana nana nana nana Hawtdog!!
My thoughts exactly.
So I remember back in Captain Spirit, an article on the computer talked about a police officer shooting a person of color in Seattle that has activists all over it. If it's the same event, then Captain Spirit takes place like at least a month after this? Since this is around Halloween and Captain Spirit was more around Christmas.
lavellan aka hidy
28th October for these events; Captain Spirit is late November/early December, so a month or a bit more.
Nice catch, seems there will be a fair amount of time wiping in this season
Just the perfect amount of time for Daniel to practice his powers, I like it.
Wahl Flower I
No matter how you look at it that officer was way out of line and panicking unnecessarily...
I think a lot of people missed one thing - dude had "blood" on his shirt, officer definitely thought someone had a gun there
There was a dead kid with blood all over him on a floor how is it unnecessary panicking? You come see a kid covered in blood about to die and you are like everything is cool lets just chill out...
I understand that there was the kid with fake blood that had bumped his head, possibly in to unconsiousness, I don't think he was dead.

It just lis2 wanted it to be nicer than a brown man getting shot in his garage for just playing music. (Just like it real life.) Or a kid getting shot walking through his neighborhood but ya know.
My theory for the injoke is they were voicing the two birds on the roof in the title screen
you're wicked smaaaart
Somehow it def sounds like they're voicing birds to me lmaoo
HOLY HECK. GENIUS!!! :)
Dodger called it from the very beginning.
It was extremely obvious though.
I love how officer called for back up when he saw two highschool boys fighting
I can already see people saying this game's dialogue is cringy, but honestly the relateable and accurate details so far outweigh the cringe for sure.

the dialogue is a bit cringey but i think is intentional, i cringe every time i remember my teen years
Yeah the setup for all of that was pretty rubbish. I mean, we all know what they were trying to do, but boy was it a mess of a scene.
I stoped reading after the first 2 sentences. Ain’t no body got time for that
A list of every weird LiS opening song these beautiful massive dorks have sung
Life is Strange - “This game uses an autosave feature, please do not turn off the game while it’s saving~
Square Enix made the game, Dontnod made it too~
I guess they made it more than Square Enix did, ‘cause it’s Life is Strange~”
Life is Strange: Before the Storm - “Gotta be about the rubbing, boning down~
Downtown, it’s where I’m gonna take the rub~”
Life is Strange: Farewell - “You’re a little cat, and also a pi-rat~
And I’m a slime in a cage... or a ghost~
But it doesn’t matter because we’re friends, and we like to play with our best friend host~”
Captain Spirit - “Captain Spirit! We’re back, so don’t you hear it
It’s time to play Captain Spirit (Yeah)
Everybody don’t fear it, it’s time to play Captain Spirit
Captain Spirit, he’s in our hearts,
And he’s got our lady parts”
ThatLycanTomboy this one was the funniest.
Jesse with the first episode predictions, go playbox!
Well, the Playbox was included in Captain Spirit. I think Jesse subconsciously remembered it.
Ghost_Leader I was gonna leave this exact comment to Jesse like "Buddy, the playbox was the thing Captain Spirit wanted for christmas. It's an in world thing already, silly Cox"
Weed was legal in Washington State in 2016, but it doesn’t matter, since he’s a minor.
Yo !!!! Wait a minute !!! What about his friend ???? Was she listening through the Skype chat ??? Did she heart the gun shot and explosion ???? Oh my God my h e a r t
You'll see what she did or didn't heard in the next episode if they read the texts.
In due time
As someone who use to partake a long time ago. That is totally a weed pipe, it's just missing a screen. I mean we are talking about people who will use a soda can or an apple to smoke out of. So if you can smoke out of it its a weed pipe.
I really like the "So it goes" text next to Sean's laptop. Its a cool character nod to his love of Vonnegut.
I think I speak for everyone when I say this. It's been too long since Jesse and Dodger played through a game together, but it was worth the wait.
Oh deer, he told his boss he was sick, but the night before he had gone to the concert with Lyla!
You have an option to turn off copyright music in the menu! THUMBS UP, just in case!
Please don't
Why would you say that... do you know how long it took me to find this video (with music)?
Like 3 minutes. I could have made it about 1 minute... but STILL.
Not sure if "I know my rights as a U.S. citizen but maybe you don't" is meant to be in a immigrant discrimination context but it makes me feel bad inside.
Edit: Holy shit a supportive father, I'm envious.
After playing through the first episode I think it's safe to say the devs had a political subject in mind for the game.
evertime123 yeah, I played the episode and there are more themes of racism later on.
Aaaaaaand he's dead
@WillFanofMany No girl besides Chole was a confirmed lesbian is LiS. Max could go either way, Victoria clearly wasnt, Stella Alyssa Brooke Taylor Juliet Dana Kate were pretty confirmed to be straight, Rachel was banging frank so she is probably Bi. Other than that,Thats it.
Originally I would have said, no she's just calling him uneducated. Most people think of mechanics as being idiots, so it's a jab at him not knowing his rights not him not being a citizen.
But after watching the episode. Nope the dev's went full SJW, cops are the bad guys, everything is trumps fault and everything is about race.
pro tip: if you turn off the game before anyone dies they all live happily ever after.
Finished this wonderful game tonight. Now I am gonna enjoy watching Dodger and Jesse play this. Love them :D
I am loving this game so far. The protagonist doesn't sound like he is permanently on the brink of tears
36:54 Wasn't the Playbox also the console in Captain Spirit? Did Jesse forget and subconsciously say it?
its an obvious joke really, he's not THAT clever to think of it. It was used even before Captain Spirit.
Still, he probably noticed and forgot about it. There have been times in WoW where I read a quest name and it's a song reference, or some other shit but I don't really notice, but then it's stuck in my head for awhile and I wonder why. Subconscious is OP.
What are you so excited about? Captain Spirit takes place in the same world as LiS, how is it so astounding that two kids in that world have the same console
I'm glad you're playing this!
same
indeed, would never gotten thro this game by my self, or anyother PnC games
Hype!! I've been waiting so long for Dodger and Jesse's play through
wow this dad seems down to earth and amazing! i wonder how long till he kicks the bucket.
So excited! I also am already loving how spot on your intuitions can be
First 5 minutes in, Phoenix starts playing.
I love this game.
YAY! Been waiting for this for a while - finally back in the Life Is Strange universe again - together!! :)
DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THIS WAS COMING OUT!!!!!
I love love love the music in LIS... mostly because I know and love it already. Liztomania is so peppy 😂
Yes! I'm so excited for this. The dialogue is a lot less cringy to me tbh. Aside from the constant "stoner" references. And I know the injoke, you guys mean when you saw the birds on the roof in this opening, referencing the crow in the junk yard from Before the Storm!
I don't think that would be it dince they would just say "It's a joke from our Before The Storm Playthrough go check it out!"
That isn't an in joke.
You could have talked to Daniel if you tried the door again. Love your playthrough though!! It's always so thorough :)
This is going to be another few months of...WTF?! Nooo, they can't stop there?!!!!! Isn't it? Excellent!
Right now, I'm trying to imagine a 16 year old rebellious Jesse.
Yo this game is starting off pretty well, I feel allready quite invested in the characters.
The noises that come from these people everytime something funny happens... I would totally watch reaction videos!
YAY MORE! Thank god there is some niceness and actual joy left in the world.
What I predict- the adventure of HOTDOG MAN and MUUSSSTARD BOI
This is better than the first one in some ways to me already! I wouldn't watch a LP of anyone else playing it besides you guys anyway, of course.
The dialogue, though there's some campy stuff still, is SO much more natural than the first game,
Is the "Dayum Daniel" meme appropriate here, because "Dayum, Daniel"
That joke was about the crow, being meta and going, “Oh man, Life is Strange twooooo! How excitiiiing!”
Holy shit, that was too real with the cop.
Shitty fucking cop lmao
Crazy Zaul Do you watch CNN?
I am so glad you guys play these together.
Why was the cat vid NSFW????
Probably involved several shots of some catgirl spreading her legs while accompanied by nightcore.
OwO
It was probably taking a piss out of all the [GONE SEXUAL!!1!1!!] videos on YT.
This series makes me absolutely confident about that Dodger is the Crendor in a wig!
What're the chances of Jesse and Dodger missing one thing in this series' collecting shenanigans again?
I tried real hard and still missed things, it's quite easy if you do things in the "wrong" order. I look forward to Jesse's anguish ;)
VERY HIGH. We always miss 1 thing. And it will drive me crazy for the next 5 episodes.
Omg thank you so fucking much for leaving the damn music on. Super appreciate it! can't say the same for so many other youtubers who don't need the income from this one video that badly (like Jacksepticeye and the such). But fair enough.
Edit: Okay I'm very glad I ended up here.. you two are great for commentary.
JESSE STOP STARTING SO MANY GREAT SERIES
Your channel is now all my free time!
Well, that went from 0-100 real quick.
*SPOILER ALERT*
*"no body got shot so it's alright"* yea suuuureeee dodger...
So cool watching you two play and talk, this is so chilling
"a kid fell and got hurt, guess I shoot at a suburban father" at least they did the police justice ;)
Its kind of sad that the incompetent police officer is the most realistic thing about this game? Like, honestly. How did that pathetic cowardly shit ever EVER graduate from the academy?
@@FoxerBoxerNaaniwa Same way all the other irl ones who shot kids did :/
FoxerBoxerNaaniwa Not defending the US police force it can be pretty bad in some places. But not every cop can be great at their job, I imagine he recently graduated, or has never even been involved in a real fight or altercation, then there's a kid covered in blood barely breathing on the ground.

I just love the batter between you two, it always makes my day.
weed was legalized in oregon in 2015, and for distribution/sell in october 2015, so it was legal.
BUT
it is not legal for anyone under 21.
This is so sweet in any way imaginable. I literally had to stop at 15:49 and will now wait until this magical LP is finished and I can enjoy it in an super-duper-mega-emotional-chillout-dodger-cox-weekend-extravaganza with my ol' friend Sweet Johnny.
Jesse and Brooke have such a great chemistry
17:50 As a bilingual person, hearing Dodger read “Cumpleaños” as “cumpleanos” made me cry. Año and ano mean… very different things.
Man this kid has it good for having a single parent.
their dad works hard to make it be that way
Over the past weekend I watched every Life is Strange episode you two played together on a whim, and I got incredibly lucky to find out this game was coming out so soon!
Yep that's exactly how intelligent and well trained cops are.
Writing back and forth on your notebook is absolutely a thing. I might still have several pages' worth of messages stocked somewhere
Weed was Legal in Seattle for about 3 years in 2016. Hell I lived above a Marijuana shop in Seattle about three years back, they've been around a while.
"Legal" we are still talking about minors.
NoESanity Yes, but Jesse and the Doogs merely thought that weed In General was illegal back when this game takes place. That was my only correction.
I like the mirroring of events of Life is Strange 1, where you start by preventing a person from getting shot, while you start this game by dealing with the consequences of a person getting shot.
Oh man, okay now I've officially watched the entire video and.... Can I just say that this has already hit WAAAAYYYY harder than LiS1, AND before the storm did combined? Like. This just seriously is was more emotional thanks to the family aspect. I thought this was going to be another poorly voice acted, poorly written mess that made me feel nothing for the MC, but.... Damn. D a m n.
LiquifiedDonatsu You fell for the bait
Jesse those pipes are called one hitters, they're for weed. But they're small so you can clear it in one hit.
Dodger is my favorite person
Took me a hot minute to realize that the little brother was memeing on his math homework on problem 2.
it begins again, the only way it could be better if jenks was in it somewhere
LiS style remake of Contradiction? As long as the dialogue stays goofy
Dude, Top Gear and Pizza was every weekend with my dad growing up, good shit
watching life is strange gameplay always depresses me. Coz it's like "Look at these normal people doing normal things!" at the beginning. While I'm over here, having never experienced ANY of that because of mental illnesses that took me out of school
I went through school, I was a small little moron, don't think I ever had a father-son moment, don't think my mom ever worried, moved away from my childhood friend, got bullied, skipped all the parties, never visited anywhere, never needed to ask for money cause there was nothing I wanted, my "rebellous phase" was developing insomnia, never did a part time job, developed a life-lasting disease, didn't try much new, my cats died, wouldn't even know where to get drugs if I wanted too, all the girls i knew were retarded or sociopaths or both, never any interesting gossip, no one had interesting skills, didn't go to prom, graduated highschool.
This romanticized childhood and idea of growing up? You might be more likely to win the lottery. I look at some of these teenager moments and think about how I never experienced it either, despite actually having gone through most of my youth already. But then I remember that it's also many bad things that I "missed out" on.
Dude me too. I had to leave public school half way through my 8th grade year, and then we ended up moving so I had to go to a high school that was way bigger than my middle school. I ended up leaving public school permeates a year and a half later because of depression and social anxiety.
i didnt even know this was coming out... the last several days i have been binging jesse and dodger life is strange, before the storm, and captain spirit. i literally finished a couple hours ago and then this
Holy shit that Chupacabra in Space poster is a Stranger Things reference
Lmao fuuuuck
I'm still at work and can't watch this until I get home but I am PSYCHED! I was waiting for you two to hopefully play this
You're gonna wish you hugged your papito... T_T (endless tears)
I said this before and i'll say it again. We need a remix of Jesse and Dodger singing from all of their series together.
Guys, Dontnod said that Chris/Captain Spirit *is* a 'main' character, just not a playable/central character. There's a difference, and Chris is proof.
I love you two. Managed to make me laugh within the first 10 seconds
Should've given Dad the chock o crisp, it would've been a nice last meal...
Damn, that's fucked up lol 😏
Should've taken the beers as he won't need 'em anymore. Then again, at least you now have something your little brothe4 can drink.
I'm -
Oh gawd, I am sooooo excited for this!! I love these two :D
That was…..unexpected :(
I want to see MORE!!!!!
I've been waiting for you two to play this!!!
Bet you wish you hugged dad now
oof
Alright just gotta say that this is the best dad ever.
My Dad Loves octopi and now he someTimes answers questions with just an octopus emoji. I've come to understand it usually just means vague agreement. XD
Was anyone else really enjoying it until the end? I mean I get the cop thought that the dude was really bleeding with the "fake blood" and bs, but seriously it was such a comical overreaction to the whole situation I couldn't help but laugh
Really? Because I've seen a cop shoot a man after telling the guy to get his wallet out of the car, with the guy doing exactly what he was told. So don't come at this with your bullshit.
Brothers; a tale of two sons
Akash7713 Hope there are no spiders involved in this game...
Yaasss!!! Jesse and Dodger are back!!! And so is this franchise!!! I am so stoked!
ooof, didn't expect you guys to choose some questionable decisions, you didn't even check on Denial's room again lol. It's your play through though, have fun with it :) (please be nice to Denial ;-;)
Daniel*
I can't wait for the next episode!
Btw, you can never be too cool for hugs, hugs are cool!
What's with those big ass rocks being in the middle of the yard? It seems like a moderately manicured lawn and rocks like would have to be removed so they don't ruin the mower. And for being so politically aware it does not seem to occur to the dad to stop approaching the jumpy cop. The whole ending to this segment feels like they just jumped the shark, which is a shame because I was looking forward getting to seeing more of Sean's life and how the inevitable strange phenomenon begin to turn it upside down. The original LIS did have a pretty big inciting incident as well but not one that completely launched the MC out of their ordinary life before we got to understand and be invested in it.
Thank god i'm not completely alone in the feeling. Nice name btw
I really enjoyed this first episode and can't wait to watch you guys play it! :D
Who else thought Night in the Woods 18:16
Roxy Starlos I didn’t even notice! It’s just like Gregg and Angus!
Yup, kinda looks like someone described them to the artist without telling them where they were from and let the artist fill in the details.
A bit more of a stretch but if someone at Dontnod is slipping references into the journal, I wonder if the "Ollie ollie Oxen free" could be an Oxenfree reference.
I have been waiting for jesse and dodger to do this!!!! I'm excited!
I wonder why it asked if you sacrificed Arcadia in the first game. I wonder if Max will be involved in the plot at some point.
Also, that robot samurai drawing reminds me of my brother’s school work. Jesse has seen my brother’s work because he liked a drawing my bro did of him getting married to Hawt Dawg Man.
Damn. That's cool
Jesse and Dodger know how to encompass personalities and they are big hugs.
The space bar is toggling between the dialog options and interactions with environment stuff.
Yayy! Jesse and Dodger back at it again!
