Now that we know who Rachel is and not just "the missing girl", I literally cried like dumb baby when they found her body, specially when Chloe said " I LOVED HER SO MUCH.." hughhhh I can't even..
I'd forgotten just how good the voice acting was in that scene, I mean, it seems like she was actually crying when she delivered that, and understandably so.
Jonnie Caulfield I actually went back to the scene with Chloe and Max discovering Rachel's body after I played the first two episodes of LiS:BtS. I cried like a baby. I will do it again after I've played episode 3 of LiS:BtS.😓😓😓
Good god... After getting to know Rachel in Before the Storm, that scene where they find her body seriously fucked me up... It shook me to the core the first time I played the game because Ashly's acting was amazing, but now it's even worse because I fucking love Rachel too.
"Fly! Be free!" "This action will have consequences" symbol appears. The next day: "Over 700 people died when an airliner crashed into a charity event being held at an orphanage in what one witness described as, 'a scene of pure carnage and horror.' The FAA believes the cause of the crash to be a blue jay that was sucked into an engine."
"My nose is cold." Because she's numb below the neck after being paralyzed. Her face being cold is her only way of knowing that the rest of her might be.
I played through this and the first two episodes of Before the Storm alone, and I was fine with that. However, after each episode, I just needed to talk to people about the experience and emotion, and It drives me crazy that I don't know anyone else that has played (although I'm working on it...) I've watched plenty of tutorials for various games, but until LiS, I'd never watched playthroughs just to see people's reactions. And now I don't even know how many hours of videos of watched just to see other people experience those moments of shock, horror, sadness, relief, and bliss. There is just something about knowing that I'm not the only one that is so strongly affected by it. Of all of the people I've watched, you two are my favorites. And I've realized how much more you get out of the game--and how much more powerful the experience is--if you play with a friend. Because isn't LiS all about friendship ultimately?
Johnny & Aoife nod in solidarity with Max's line 'If you're comfortable with yourself, you don't need to act superior'....only to spend the remaining 2-hours, berating Max and bitching about Blackwell students! I'm gonna miss this series...(SAD FACE EMOJI)
Learning Rachel's fate hurt, even in Life is Strange Season One. The added context of Chloe and Rachel's relationship from LiS: Before the Storm left me bawling my goddamn eyes out during the scene in the junkyard. Fleshing out their relationship is what makes Before the Storm so profound and powerful; at least in my opinion.
Just realised the animators made a mistake with the owl. It moves its eyes and owls can't do that. They don't have eyeballs, they're long and shaped more like tubes. This is why they can't move inside the socket and why they move the whole head to see.
Technically, The Doctor (or Lord Doctor) is Doctor Smith, since that was the name on his U.N.I.T. identity card... which means there's a season that could have been called "Alias: Smith, and Jones." Also, Rory facing down Cybermen while dressed as a Roman Legionary ending with his "Would you like me to repeat the question?" has to be top 3 most badass moments, like, ever.
Awesome! I love you go again thru the game, seeing you thought back your decision and how you see Max. Hope to see next part of this soon. And of course "Before the Storm: as well! Sorry if my English is not good - it is far better to hear than to speak/write in foregin lanuage :) Greatings from Poland!
As far as the decision whether or not to grant Chloe's request, I can see why someone would not be able to morally take someone else's life even at their request. That said, I would do it in a heartbeat without any qualms. Sure her parents are going to be wrecked, but that was inevitable anyway and if you say "I don't know" Chloe tells you she has already said her goodbyes to them but they refused to honor her wishes in the matter. That is incredibly selfish of them, which significantly reduces the impact of their feelings on my decision.
Also, about the parallel timelines: If they did indeed continue after Max left them, then it stands to reason that they existed before her consciousness got there. Which means that all possible realities exist simultaneously, which means that regardless of your choice of whether to help Chloe die or not in that specific timeline the timeline also exists where you make the other choice so its a wash anyway. This is a really good description of Superposition in quantum mechanics actually. It's not that you are necessarily altering reality, you are simply choosing which version of reality you are going to experience.
I have no sympathy for Nathan getting the shit beaten out of him in the dorm scene. If he's prepared to pull a gun on people after even the slightest provocation, he deserves worse than what Warren does to him.
that finding Rachel scene is intense , I'm a grown man and even I was in pieces at that. before the storm and LIS are as good as any movie or book at really making you connect and care about a character.
Watching this playthrough for about the third time in as many years because I’m playing LiS again in anticipation of the remasters. As I was playing the scene in the alternate timeline where Chloe asks to crank the IV, I did as she asked but the game glitched out, so I had to sit there for a solid three minutes with dead Chloe before the ‘focus on photo’ action appeared. Absolutely brutal.
The Doctor is called Dr. Who/Doctor Who in the credits of Season 1 (from 1963 and onwards for a few seasons/incarnations) as well as in Eccleston's run so both The Doctor and Dr. Who are technically correct & acceptable! Since you corrected Max on her Dr Hoo joke I figured I'd defend her a little, haha. (Me, I like to use Dr. Who 'cause I think it's a funny and silly character name and I like it, shrugs.)
Started watching you guys since i saw the queue video at EGX, I really enjoy this series. You bring something new i haven't seen in other play throughs by kind of discussing the meta as people who have already played the game.
Angel Majao I want to travel back with Future Chloe to the bathroom and see if that fixes anything. If the tornado happens if we save Chloe, then maybe I can cheat the system if I have 2 Chloes
what amazes me is how you managed to not kill frank, or get killed on the first try.. it took me like 40mins of rewinding to have a peaceful outcome XD
Maybe playing through the game once it was fully released helped me here; I didn't waste any time diving from Episode 3 into Episode 4, and was too swept up to consider whether we'd be staying in the Alternative Timeline or not. Even if I'd put a bit of thought into the matter, though, I doubt it would have cheapened things much - the time you spend with the Price family there is still one of the few fictional scenes that can reliably jerk tears from my cold, dead eyes.
The alternate timeline seems to be used to introduce the jumping through photos mechanic for the next episode, but I do agree the fact that it has no lasting consequence cheapens the whole thing a bit; I think it would have been good if you chose to let her die in that scene, that you would get the choice to go back to that point for the final choice, rather than the toilet scene.
The timelines go on after Max switches. Of course there is a consequence. Just because Max's consciousness doesn't experience them doesn't mean there isn't something altered by her.
46:55 I always thought this game was about Max avoiding the consequences of her problems by using her time powers. The nega-Max you meet in the nightmare at the end of Ep. 5 tells us this. 57:45 You're right about how Americans treat coffee. I'm latin american so I drank coffee since I was about 10/11 because everyone around me drank it but everyone I meet in the states acts weird about kids drinking coffee. 1:06:15 David and Nathan both have psychological problems (Nathan is schizophrenic and David has PTSD) so the help with Nathan refers to David recommending a psychologist for Nathan. This is one of the many David and Nathan red herrings they throw at you. 1:59:00 Yup Damon gives Frank Pompidou and replaying this gives you inadvertent spoilers that Frank will kill Damon lol. 2:12:00 Top of the lake is a show about a pedohile and its Jefferson's car. Fitting right? 2:21:00 I 100% buy that theory about David because the most important clues you use to find the location are his coordinates. All that was missing was the drug info from Frank to find out he was selling date rape drugs to Nathan. David actually ALMOST solved the mystery he was just missing the final piece of info that Max and Chloe put together. 2:32:20 Nathan's dad doesn't know what goes on in the bunker. That's kind of the reason why he goes to Jefferson as a mentor. Nathan's dad doesn't give a crap about Nathan or what he does as long as he runs the company when he's an adult. 3:05:55 I call that face Mr. Jefferson's psychopath face. In the timeline of everything, Jefferson kills Nathan and disposes of his body right before the party so he's still got that adrenaline pumping through him.
Oddly, I did see all the big twists coming, but missed almost all the smaller ones. Watching a lot of TV seems to partly make up for being unable to comprehend people. Looking forward to seeing how you decide to work your way through the last ep.
1. I killed Chloe on her wishes and I've not had a second of remorse over it. But I guess that's because I knew I was going to go back in time anyway, so I might as well give Chloe what she wants. It wasn't going to matter either way. 2. I was and still am to this day SO MAD at Max for giving up. Yes, it was hard for her having to witness Chloe so broken that she doesn't want to live anymore. I see why she's not keen to see something else go wrong. But. I think she owed it to Chloe to try harder? This fatalistic "this is what the universe wants" bullshit doesn't sit right with me. I'm not saying try until you find the string in time where William wins the lottery and they all live in a castle, but also maybe don't give up after your first attempt. (God, am I bitter about this 😂) I understand it's not feasible for the game to go through 20 timelines, with you settling for the best possible outcome, which might be the Price family all alive but very poor or sth. I'mma still be bitter though. Very bitter. 3. Warren fighting Nathan is the one good thing that boy's got going for him. Still don't want him anywhere near my girls, but fair play to him for that 4. Everything to do with Rachel hurts so much more this time around 5. I'm not looking forward to next episode. That one was actual hell to play. Interesting to see if it's less painful to watch. 6. I let Arcadia Bay go to ruins. I never regretted that. This is a judgement free zone, but if you save the town over your girlfriend, well. The universe can do one tbh.
I don’t know if anyone else thought this but sometimes the game suggests that Max doesn’t have the best home life. It seems she doesn’t super get along with her parents. Like how her mom turns on her right away with the principal.
I did get that feeling too, but put it down to it being an attempt to distance us from that enough to allow for the player to more easily identify with the character. The more specific you get with the embodiment of the player (or reader, viewer, etc), the more you close off that deep connection by bringing up issues that they may not share. By maintaining a vague, hazy background to the character, the player is more able to think back to their own teenage years & the universal sense of things not being comfortable or quite right at home. Everyone felt that as a part of growing up, so it can be used to draw in the player.
I believe during the party, you can also talk to Courtney to get into the VIP area as well. Though, it may be based on choices made earlier in the game. But that was also a solution, IIRC.
Ok if that bird was a blue jay then it makes sense. Jays are known to sound warnings to other birds about danger. So a jay trapped in the house would be sounding a warning
Have youy all noticed that the raven is fucking shouting his ass off while chloe and max are walking towards the corpse?As in Chloes dad trying to warn them?
The instant regret of letting Warren beat Nathan, rewinding, regretting the rewind, rewinding again, and having Warren beat Nathan again while cheering absolutely sent me 💀
21:23 I thought Chloe was the one who broke her back, but Max seems to be turned more than 90 degrees and also hunched over more than 90 degrees at a point above where the rib cage starts! Also her upper body isn't in line with her upper body... oops
Chloe "no way will i get o a fucking boat now, unless you're with me". so is that like saying you're happy to be shipped together? also i would like to point out that the H. West Miskatonic schol in Bolton is a reference to Herbert West Reanimator by H.P. Lovecraft so if that exists in this world there might be hope to get Chloe out of that wheelchair yet.that said i do believe that Chole has the right to die if she chooses.
Pay attention, Johnny, a selfie is a self-portrait, as mentioned in Ep. 1, the camera doesn't need to be held by the photographer. That particular pose is just the blight of cameraphones.
The whole thing with Max coming back to the main timeline still confuses. Surely she would have those memories now how she was a shitty friend and you hope she would of made the effort to change that. Even though she jumped from William dying to now the years between still happened. How does she forget everything till that point, that's not how it ever works? Also for someone who bleats on about responsibility to Chloe all the time, David can't accept his actions caused the break! Knew that the Rachel bit was gonna be rough after Before the Storm and falling for her so thanks for the laughter after. Laughing through the tears!
I was probably kinda stupid but playing this episode for the first time I hadn't even thought about returning to the 'main' timeline. I feel like that would have made everything at the beginning, especially the decision with Chloe even harder. I remember being surprised that I get to return and very relieved when I returned and we just get to see Chloe sitting at her desk again.
I believe in the right to chose to end you life, but the problem here is there's no discussion at all. Surely you wouldn't even get to the point of making that kind of decision without hours, maybe days, of talking to them about it . This situation is just "I want to die" NOW MAKE A DECISION
I thought that at the start of Episode 1 but its not because it burns down in the forest fire. Plus a mill is not the same thing as a barn. Barn is used for housing animals and mills are for cutting wood.
So sad these will be coming to end so soon. I really hoped you guys would turn on Victoria at the party though. She gets absolutely rekt by Max. Plus the thing that happens to her in Episode 5 doesn't happen to her if you don't warn her.
I'm still paying down an MRI I had done in January. It cost $2,500. Be glad for the NHS. Also, most homeopathy is bogus, but arnica gel works great on bruises. Just FYI.
An ex suffered from migranes, pretty bad ones, but she could stop them with Kali Bich hopeopathic tablets when, from bitter experience, conventional medicine did nothing. Three other migrane sufferers I've advised to try it have... and also reported great results. There may be no convincing scientific explanation for why hopeopathic remidies work, but if they do...
I kinda wonder if Rachel in this time didn't have Chloe to tether her, so left Arcadia Bay. Meanwhile with Max's influence, Nathan managed to mellow out a bit (he seems like it from her texts).
This game uses colors to indicate dangers (dangerous people wear red, nice people wear blue) and in the alternate timeline Nathan doesnt wear the red jacket and wears a blue one instead perhaps indicating that his mental health is a lot better so he doesnt seek Jefferson's mentorship.
Yup she cheats on her with both Frank and Jefferson which is really shitty but I blame the men more than Rachel because theyre in their 30s (Jefferson is in his 40s) and theyre messing with an underage impressionable teen.
One thing that concerned me in the Dark Room there was a binder with the name Lynn.... Now it's probably just a duplicate name but Kate's sister was Lynn (same spelling too) so did he have plans go after her if she came to Blackhell
There's many people named Lynn in the world bro. In Frank's drug log he sells drugs to a "Katie" and we know that's not our Kate. Not everything is connected like that.
“Don’t wear white after Labour Day”. I thought you would be too young to hear that. In Canada, this was a phrase used by the upper middle class, and was pretentious. Because only men, of some renown, could wear white pants and sport coats in the summer. Because they had the freedom to do so. Unlike many others.
Wow, did not realise that PissHead and Hawt Dawg Man was already in the first game. Really like that they took such minor things and expanded on them a bit more in the later games.
Now that we know who Rachel is and not just "the missing girl", I literally cried like dumb baby when they found her body, specially when Chloe said " I LOVED HER SO MUCH.." hughhhh I can't even..
Y.C. E. After you play LiS BtS, you see the original LiS game in a different way. You feel Rachel's death hundreds of times stronger.
I'd forgotten just how good the voice acting was in that scene, I mean, it seems like she was actually crying when she delivered that, and understandably so.
uberanto I agree I think Ashly Bursh is so talented
Jonnie Caulfield
I actually went back to the scene with Chloe and Max discovering Rachel's body after I played the first two episodes of LiS:BtS. I cried like a baby. I will do it again after I've played episode 3 of LiS:BtS.😓😓😓
Jonnie Caulfield Ikr
Good god... After getting to know Rachel in Before the Storm, that scene where they find her body seriously fucked me up... It shook me to the core the first time I played the game because Ashly's acting was amazing, but now it's even worse because I fucking love Rachel too.
I swore to myself I would never play LIS 1 again, just to keep Rachel alive. BUT IT'S STRONGER THAN ME
This might be the best thing you've done on the channel, honestly.
"Fly! Be free!"
"This action will have consequences" symbol appears.
The next day: "Over 700 people died when an airliner crashed into a charity event being held at an orphanage in what one witness described as, 'a scene of pure carnage and horror.' The FAA believes the cause of the crash to be a blue jay that was sucked into an engine."
Korben Dallas I WHEEZED.
"My nose is cold." Because she's numb below the neck after being paralyzed. Her face being cold is her only way of knowing that the rest of her might be.
Johnny: Makes fun of Max for being such a hipster.
Also Johnny: I own this soundtrack on vinyl.
Not all audiophiles are hipsters! And I'm sure few competent DMs are either 😂
I played through this and the first two episodes of Before the Storm alone, and I was fine with that. However, after each episode, I just needed to talk to people about the experience and emotion, and It drives me crazy that I don't know anyone else that has played (although I'm working on it...) I've watched plenty of tutorials for various games, but until LiS, I'd never watched playthroughs just to see people's reactions. And now I don't even know how many hours of videos of watched just to see other people experience those moments of shock, horror, sadness, relief, and bliss. There is just something about knowing that I'm not the only one that is so strongly affected by it. Of all of the people I've watched, you two are my favorites. And I've realized how much more you get out of the game--and how much more powerful the experience is--if you play with a friend. Because isn't LiS all about friendship ultimately?
I feel exactly the same! I kind of use these videos as a replacement for actual people to share my feelings with. :/
Johnny & Aoife nod in solidarity with Max's line 'If you're comfortable with yourself, you don't need to act superior'....only to spend the remaining 2-hours, berating Max and bitching about Blackwell students!
I'm gonna miss this series...(SAD FACE EMOJI)
Learning Rachel's fate hurt, even in Life is Strange Season One. The added context of Chloe and Rachel's relationship from LiS: Before the Storm left me bawling my goddamn eyes out during the scene in the junkyard. Fleshing out their relationship is what makes Before the Storm so profound and powerful; at least in my opinion.
Just realised the animators made a mistake with the owl. It moves its eyes and owls can't do that. They don't have eyeballs, they're long and shaped more like tubes. This is why they can't move inside the socket and why they move the whole head to see.
that’s so disturbing
You guys are literally so perfect together
3 HOURS?! If you think I'm gonna watch this in one sitting....you'd be right! Hang on let me get some snacks
Should have bought tissues instead of snacks...
And i was just thinking i had a 3:15:07 long gap in my day, these are fab!
River.S and Rory W are probably references to Doctor Who characters river song and Rory Williams.
!!!!!
Technically, The Doctor (or Lord Doctor) is Doctor Smith, since that was the name on his U.N.I.T. identity card... which means there's a season that could have been called "Alias: Smith, and Jones."
Also, Rory facing down Cybermen while dressed as a Roman Legionary ending with his "Would you like me to repeat the question?" has to be top 3 most badass moments, like, ever.
“Nothing is without a price” IS THAT WHY THEY NAMED HER CHLOE PRICE?
3:35 "...Life IS strange." Possibly Johnny's finest moment yet.
Tchetil yes johnny...that is the point after all....
Awesome! I love you go again thru the game, seeing you thought back your decision and how you see Max. Hope to see next part of this soon. And of course "Before the Storm: as well!
Sorry if my English is not good - it is far better to hear than to speak/write in foregin lanuage :)
Greatings from Poland!
Your English is perfect! Thanks for watching and commenting
I don't like emotion. It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere.
This is very quotable!
I think that's sand
As far as the decision whether or not to grant Chloe's request, I can see why someone would not be able to morally take someone else's life even at their request.

"everyone's gay, in Arcadia Bay!" Img cryyyyiiiinnnnng!!!! 😂😂😂
I saw the title and started crying
Max keeps whatever she picks up when she travels through time, yes? So if Max picked Chloe up and travelled through time, would they travel together?
No not the poor Squirrel!
Maybe but that sounds like a paradox waiting to happen and the first paradox created a massive tornado so...
Angel Majao I want to travel back with Future Chloe to the bathroom and see if that fixes anything. If the tornado happens if we save Chloe, then maybe I can cheat the system if I have 2 Chloes
Can she put Chle in her pocket? This is a dumb question, of course NOT.
@@vincentelevenzon8819 she can put everything in her pocket, Chloe would fit in the magic pocket
what amazes me is how you managed to not kill frank, or get killed on the first try.. it took me like 40mins of rewinding to have a peaceful outcome XD
That alternate timeline made me cry a lot. This game is packed with some heavy feels.
The decision to end Chloe's suffering was the hardest for me. I sat like 30 minutes in front of the screen and couldn't decide...
I'm strarting to like Mondays )
As an American I can say that coffee is for all times of the day.
1:41:31 Agree with you Aoife! First thing I thought when I read that email! #ohnoshebetterdont
The receptionist you see from the hospital will appear on episode 5 on the plane with Max!
Maybe playing through the game once it was fully released helped me here; I didn't waste any time diving from Episode 3 into Episode 4, and was too swept up to consider whether we'd be staying in the Alternative Timeline or not. Even if I'd put a bit of thought into the matter, though, I doubt it would have cheapened things much - the time you spend with the Price family there is still one of the few fictional scenes that can reliably jerk tears from my cold, dead eyes.
RACHEL IN THE DANK ROOM
The alternate timeline seems to be used to introduce the jumping through photos mechanic for the next episode, but I do agree the fact that it has no lasting consequence cheapens the whole thing a bit; I think it would have been good if you chose to let her die in that scene, that you would get the choice to go back to that point for the final choice, rather than the toilet scene.
The timelines go on after Max switches. Of course there is a consequence. Just because Max's consciousness doesn't experience them doesn't mean there isn't something altered by her.

Dana is my favourite side character in LIS, she is cool and kind
On the card is Doctor Who references. River S. = River Song, Rory W. = Rory Williams, Amy = Amy Pond
Eurogamer providing such a valuable service playing through this game since I’m too much of a baby to replay it myself
I too would like to get emotional.
EMOTIONAL, MOTIONAL.
One emotion please. Yes, I'd like to supersize that!
So I didn't warn Victoria and she doesn't end up in the dark room. That makes me a good person. I think.
46:55 I always thought this game was about Max avoiding the consequences of her problems by using her time powers. The nega-Max you meet in the nightmare at the end of Ep. 5 tells us this.

To be fair on Kate’s weird grip, I’m an artist and write and draw like a fucking weirdo too.
I hope you two will play "Detroit" together when it comes out.
Just occurred to me that Chloe hates the word hella because she never met Rachel in this time line!
Oddly, I did see all the big twists coming, but missed almost all the smaller ones. Watching a lot of TV seems to partly make up for being unable to comprehend people. Looking forward to seeing how you decide to work your way through the last ep.
This means next week we are looking to get Ep 5 of season 1 and Ep 3 of BtS within a couple days of each other!
1. I killed Chloe on her wishes and I've not had a second of remorse over it. But I guess that's because I knew I was going to go back in time anyway, so I might as well give Chloe what she wants. It wasn't going to matter either way.

3. Warren fighting Nathan is the one good thing that boy's got going for him. Still don't want him anywhere near my girls, but fair play to him for that
4. Everything to do with Rachel hurts so much more this time around
5. I'm not looking forward to next episode. That one was actual hell to play. Interesting to see if it's less painful to watch.
6. I let Arcadia Bay go to ruins. I never regretted that. This is a judgement free zone, but if you save the town over your girlfriend, well. The universe can do one tbh.

I noticed that! I was thinking that if had any jock who wouldn't be an asshole with Katie, probably would be Drew...
Drew is a senior in BTS so while that's his old room he can't be in there still unless he gets left back as a super senior 3 years in a row...
I don’t know if anyone else thought this but sometimes the game suggests that Max doesn’t have the best home life. It seems she doesn’t super get along with her parents. Like how her mom turns on her right away with the principal.
I did get that feeling too, but put it down to it being an attempt to distance us from that enough to allow for the player to more easily identify with the character. The more specific you get with the embodiment of the player (or reader, viewer, etc), the more you close off that deep connection by bringing up issues that they may not share. By maintaining a vague, hazy background to the character, the player is more able to think back to their own teenage years & the universal sense of things not being comfortable or quite right at home. Everyone felt that as a part of growing up, so it can be used to draw in the player.
Night Cat yeah
I believe during the party, you can also talk to Courtney to get into the VIP area as well. Though, it may be based on choices made earlier in the game. But that was also a solution, IIRC.
Ok if that bird was a blue jay then it makes sense. Jays are known to sound warnings to other birds about danger. So a jay trapped in the house would be sounding a warning
Iv never played a game that makes me randomly cry when I think about it. This game made me more greatfull of the life I have.
Have youy all noticed that the raven is fucking shouting his ass off while chloe and max are walking towards the corpse?As in Chloes dad trying to warn them?
The instant regret of letting Warren beat Nathan, rewinding, regretting the rewind, rewinding again, and having Warren beat Nathan again while cheering absolutely sent me 💀
1:22:14 ALL ABOARD THE GOOD SHIP MARSHFIELD!
21:23 I thought Chloe was the one who broke her back, but Max seems to be turned more than 90 degrees and also hunched over more than 90 degrees at a point above where the rib cage starts! Also her upper body isn't in line with her upper body... oops
Chloe "no way will i get o a fucking boat now, unless you're with me". so is that like saying you're happy to be shipped together? also i would like to point out that the H. West Miskatonic schol in Bolton is a reference to Herbert West Reanimator by H.P. Lovecraft so if that exists in this world there might be hope to get Chloe out of that wheelchair yet.that said i do believe that Chole has the right to die if she chooses.
Pay attention, Johnny, a selfie is a self-portrait, as mentioned in Ep. 1, the camera doesn't need to be held by the photographer. That particular pose is just the blight of cameraphones.
2:28:40 Awesome! Johnny said my comment from last week!! GO TEAM NOT-WARREN!!!!!
Googled the exploding whale of Oregon, I highly recommend the 1970 news report
Notice how they watched blade runner and then chloe drifts off *dreaming* forever?
Oh man you guys give Warren his ONE moment. He did not go too far on Nathan. He didn't go far enough.
Oh you did. GOOD JOB.
Who cried when Rachel was found? I did
Nice playthrorogh !
I don't why i fell in love with aoife 😍😍😍😍
Btw it was great! 💙
#teamchloe
"I'm not a young Max anymore..." haha holy shit
holy crap that ending gave me chills
Yay, episode 4! Nothing bad or sad ever happens in episode 4!
... yes, I guess I would like to get emotional too.
Man ... I killed the eggs, I tought I was doing the right thing ...
The whole thing with Max coming back to the main timeline still confuses. Surely she would have those memories now how she was a shitty friend and you hope she would of made the effort to change that. Even though she jumped from William dying to now the years between still happened. How does she forget everything till that point, that's not how it ever works?
Also for someone who bleats on about responsibility to Chloe all the time, David can't accept his actions caused the break!
Knew that the Rachel bit was gonna be rough after Before the Storm and falling for her so thanks for the laughter after. Laughing through the tears!
I was probably kinda stupid but playing this episode for the first time I hadn't even thought about returning to the 'main' timeline. I feel like that would have made everything at the beginning, especially the decision with Chloe even harder. I remember being surprised that I get to return and very relieved when I returned and we just get to see Chloe sitting at her desk again.
i smile when i see these videos
That is so sad to ses this scene again after we met Rachel.
at 42:00 what were the lyrics they were singing?
"No one gives a fuck warren" 😂
I believe in the right to chose to end you life, but the problem here is there's no discussion at all. Surely you wouldn't even get to the point of making that kind of decision without hours, maybe days, of talking to them about it .
This situation is just "I want to die" NOW MAKE A DECISION
I just realized that this old barn is probably the old mill from Before The Storm where Firewalk played, holy shit !
I thought that at the start of Episode 1 but its not because it burns down in the forest fire. Plus a mill is not the same thing as a barn. Barn is used for housing animals and mills are for cutting wood.
So sad these will be coming to end so soon. I really hoped you guys would turn on Victoria at the party though. She gets absolutely rekt by Max. Plus the thing that happens to her in Episode 5 doesn't happen to her if you don't warn her.
I'm still paying down an MRI I had done in January. It cost $2,500. Be glad for the NHS.
Also, most homeopathy is bogus, but arnica gel works great on bruises. Just FYI.
An ex suffered from migranes, pretty bad ones, but she could stop them with Kali Bich hopeopathic tablets when, from bitter experience, conventional medicine did nothing. Three other migrane sufferers I've advised to try it have... and also reported great results. There may be no convincing scientific explanation for why hopeopathic remidies work, but if they do...
This place is way too Blair Witch, I’ve got Goosebumps all over. It’s like we are living on the corner of Fear Street and Elm.
I've been looking forward to Monday's since you've returned to Arcadia Bay. Jefferson's car always had a hint of menace for me....
Your Christopher Walkens impressions get better and better!
I kinda wonder if Rachel in this time didn't have Chloe to tether her, so left Arcadia Bay. Meanwhile with Max's influence, Nathan managed to mellow out a bit (he seems like it from her texts).
This game uses colors to indicate dangers (dangerous people wear red, nice people wear blue) and in the alternate timeline Nathan doesnt wear the red jacket and wears a blue one instead perhaps indicating that his mental health is a lot better so he doesnt seek Jefferson's mentorship.
I kept wondering why you were saying "m'lady" and I just know realized that it's on Daniel's shirt!
So if you romance Rachel in Before the Storm, then it means that Rachel were cheating on Chloe...
Yup she cheats on her with both Frank and Jefferson which is really shitty but I blame the men more than Rachel because theyre in their 30s (Jefferson is in his 40s) and theyre messing with an underage impressionable teen.
Rachel is a cheater and a manipulative person
H. West Miskatonic Institute?! Not sure I'd wanna go there! 🧟♂️
They should really have added the option of kissing Chloe goodbye before killing her
One thing that concerned me in the Dark Room there was a binder with the name Lynn....
Now it's probably just a duplicate name but Kate's sister was Lynn (same spelling too) so did he have plans go after her if she came to Blackhell
There's many people named Lynn in the world bro. In Frank's drug log he sells drugs to a "Katie" and we know that's not our Kate. Not everything is connected like that.
“Don’t wear white after Labour Day”. I thought you would be too young to hear that. In Canada, this was a phrase used by the upper middle class, and was pretentious. Because only men, of some renown, could wear white pants and sport coats in the summer. Because they had the freedom to do so. Unlike many others.
What horror film does Johnny bring up around 2.29? Can't make it out
Ah found an existing thread, Martyrs? Good to know. Enjoying these playthroughs, LIS 4eva
What horror movie does Johnny ask Aoife if she has seen at 2:29:00 as they are going into the dark room? I can't make it out.
blake bailey It sounds like he’s talking about “Martin”, which is a George Romero movie.
The Runaway Thank you!
blake bailey According to another comment on this video, he says, “Martyrs”, which seems more likely lol
The Runaway oh ok. Yeah, reading the descriptions it probably is Martyrs. Thanks for answering.
blake bailey No problem
I nearly started crying when she cranked up the... thing, I guess, and Killed chloe
What movie does Johhny say at 2:29:00?
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top_of_the_Lake - Such a good series.
Is the River S thing a Doctor who reference? Especially since they have Rory W on there too
Wow, did not realise that PissHead and Hawt Dawg Man was already in the first game. Really like that they took such minor things and expanded on them a bit more in the later games.
i hope johnnys amanda impression has improved since this video
