Whateveridontcaremeh at this point i think her power is giving people powers cause dang she is either a supernatural magnet or just being around her causes it
honestly, Before the Storm makes the original LiS that much more painful. Fuck.... imagine uncovering Rachel's body and Chloe sobbing over it now that we have context to their relationship :/
If you say "a friendship" instead of "something more" to Rachel at the junkyard, Chloe does still say later that she's unsure what it is between them and it might be something more eventually, and she wants to find out. So even if you pick friendship it doesn't suddenly un-gayify the game. NICE.
Yes she did start a forest fire because she has superpowers ! I mean look the way she screamed ! Plus I found this on Wikipedia: " Rachel destroys a family photo in a burning trash bin, and in a fit of rage kicks it over. A nearby tree is set alight as Rachel is revealed to have supernatural powers "
She doesn't have superpowers. The developers themselves said that there might be a touch of supernatural in the game (so the wind might be supernatural) but that nobody has superpowers. So Rachel is not a mystical being or doesn't have superpowers, as confirmed by the devs (source: an AMA before the game's release iirc)
Theory: Rachel has wind powers and when she died he became a spirit and created the storm and when Chloe dies Rachel and Chloe were reunited preventing the storm and helping her find peace. Edit: Never knew I'd get so many likes
The scene where characters are looking at the smoke of the fire reminds me of the scene in the first Life is Strange where characters are looking at the snow fall
Okay since this is called "before the storm" and Rachel kinda seems to have some sort of weird wind powers I wouldn't be surprised if Rachel would play the part of Ariel in the Tempest play, who is considered a wind spirit. Ariel also means "Lion of God" and Rachel confirmed that she is a Leo. (just my weird theory)
Ariel was a male character often played by women. In Shakespeare's The Tempest he was also trapped in an old pine tree and the tree Rachel just burned down kinda looked like that to me.
Mari's whole thing about not knowing she had OCD for a long time because it didn't fit into common conventions of what people say about OCD is very relatable to me, but about depression. I was SURE when I was younger that I didn't have depression (even though holy SHIT did I ever, it was really bad, I still have it now) because all I'd ever heard about depressed people was that they hurt themselves and they want to die. I never had any experience with self harm or suicidal thoughts at all so I assumed I must not have depression. Sure would be nice if school taught you fuck all about stuff like that.
Depression can't be cured by running and eating veggies. I do both every day and I'm still depressed. People have depression for lots of reasons, so please don't tell people that they're 'unhealthy.' I know you might think you're helping, but it's insensitive. You don't know the story behind their depression. Also, learn the difference between "your" and "you're" :)
Clear B, "You're not depressed, you're unhealthy." First of all you don't know anything about me, and secondly, why the fuck do you think depression is called a mental ILLNESS? Why are you under the impression that being depressed and being unhealthy are mutually exclusive? That makes absolutely zero sense. You clearly know NOTHING about depression and are certainly not any kind of authority figure on the matter. Go fuck yourself. I am making an effort to do more exercise, and I do eat vegetables regularly, I've even been attending cognitive therapy recently, but curing depression isn't that easy or a fast process. Plus, have you never considered the possibility that it's not that "everyone THINKS they have something nowadays", just that people know more about identifying mental illness than they used to? Or even that the rate of people getting mental illnesses has increased? No, of course not, because you're a self-centred arsehole who knows nothing about it but still thinks they can tell strangers on the internet they know nothing about their own minds. Please find a way to gain some perspective and knowledge before you tell anyone else what to do.
That lesbian girl with brown short hair looks really similar to Chloe from Life is strange. But It can't ber her. I mean, Chloe has blue hair and different voice. DUH.
Unexpectedly, I'm actually liking this more than the original life is strange. There's no time travel drama or distracting side paths. We're just thrust into the gayness. What more could we possibly need.
I think the dialogue is better in this. I'm happy that chloe is more likable and that rachel amber is actually pretty charming. I was worried she wouldnt have lived up to the hype.
I feel like that has something to do with the storm in Life is Strange, maybe Rachel was the storm. Idk, I mean what if the storm still happened even if Chloe died and we were meant to think it never did.
I'M SO EXCITED. Also I love Chloe now?? Plot twist, because the first time I came across Life is Strange, I didn't like her much. And now here I am, wanting only good things for her.
I'm so happy watching this--it's been a while since I've seen you guys so excited heading into an LP right off the bat, and I speak for a lot of viewers when I say that we love to see you guys having so much fun!
Chloe:why are there so many ravens Rachael? Rachael:I dont know. As the fire continue to burn In the another world In winterfell Bran:that was beautiful.
I feel that Chloe is actually more relatable than Max because people don't just get powers out of nowhere, I mean come on, Chloe's character has a regular teenage life, skips class, smokes,brakes rules, steals etc. I'm not saying that all teenagers do that I'm just saying that some do and it's way more relatable than finding out you have superpowers out of the blue and using them as an advantage to solve crimes. That might be the reason why people are liking this one better, it feels more real, more possible, and it's harder, it has more similarities to real life and that might make you like it more. Chloe had a pretty bad life, but like Mari says it's teaching you to enjoy the small things in life because you never know when they end, it also connects to what Stacy said, I forgot what she said exactly but it was along the lines of everything going to crap at one point, they said in the video everything ends, if your happy who's will e sad at one point, if your sad you will be happy at some point, if your alive you will be dead at some point, everything ends. (I've gone wayy off topic now so I'm going to stop typing, I don't even know how to end this so um) That's why Chloe's life is more relatable than Max's life is and that might be the reason why you might like this version more, because bad and good things happen in it, just like real life.
ByonicalBtheGREAT in the first game most people dont like max or are indifferent until she gets her powers. She uses her power to manipulate people into likeing her. Chloe and rachel have people like them because they earned it. Max cheated.
no ones gonna talk about how happy the woman in the end? she must done something with rachel.. or she might know the who caused the fire.. life is actually.. weird.
I absolutely loved you guy's discussion during the credits. My exact thoughts have never been out in such clear words. I can't get enough of your channel's hella great & unique commentary !!!
WAIT. Does this mean that when Rachel died her powers were unleashed so hard that it caused a hurricane. A hurricane thats sole purpose basically happens because Chloe dies and to destroy arcadia bay.... that is beautiful.
Rachel seems to have some sort of emotion based or wind powers. When she screamed in anger at the tree after starting a fire, the wind seemed to bend to her will and make the fire bigger. The game is called "Before the Storm" and The Tempest keeps popping up. Rachel could play the part of Ariel, who is considered a wind spirit.
Max, able to rewrite past decisions that she was involved in. Rachel, causes disasters and has them expand (maybe). Chloe, the one girl who had to pay for it all.
holy shit i loved this game i was excited and this morning when i woke up i saw you guys had the first 4 episodes up and wow it is amazing the excitement was not let down
jvst peachy I was thinking that too, but I doubt it really. I'd have to replay it to see any kind of significant resemblance like with the way she talks but I'm not sure
I can only say thank you for uploading this for people that are not able to play the game. I really like this, maybe even more than the first game. Really awesome and interesting, cant wait for the next episode!
That's cool, there's a contrast to the beginning of the seasons The ending of the first episode ended with a forest fire But for maxes side she had snowfalling
listened to this lp all day, good content, also good game, i was worried it was gonna suck and not fit, especially since i just finished a lis playthrough like a month ago so its still fresh. also good job on the making me cry in the middle of work, nailed it.
I don't know if this is important, but I'm really curious about the characters in this Life is Strange that aren't in the original game. What happened to them? Did some of girls get killed by Jefferson? Did they leave? And if they did leave, what caused them to leave? These are just theories I was thinking about.
LongLiveSim this game takes place about three years before Max gets accepted into Blackwell, so they either graduated, or moved/transferred to different schools
what if Rachel is the storm we see in Life is Strange, with these weird gales and gusts that we see when she's around (when ur looking over the trees with the viewfinder it's there too) or screams/has intense emotions? IDK just a thought
Wow that OCD thing you talked about at the end of the video is something I relate to, I was told by a professional I have OCD tendencies with my parents in the room and then later on my dad said "you don't have OCD if you had OCD then your room wouldn't be messy all the time." and I tried to explain to him there are different types of OCD, then he shut me down instantly. So who knows if I actually have OCD or if its just tendencies. Anyway entertaining great video, as always.
I think what happened here is that rachel basically started everything maybe with a curse or some such magic. Shes like the stone dropped in a pond and max is the ripple.
"You had the courage to tell me that you feel it, too. And I treated you like shit" *solemn moment* Stacie - "Yeah, you kinda did." *completely casual* Me - "LOL!"
So, I'm with that notebook/diary thing with me, that was kind of a present from my mom, and I decided I needed a name for it, like Chloe named her diary Max lol. And I think I'm gonna name it Macy; got it -- because MAri and StaCY xD She has a black leather cover with a deathly hallows symbol in it :P -- yup, I will use she/her for the notebook. Nobody asked me nothing but I'm a little talkative tonight lol. Great video, you two! I love your guys' work (don't know if that exist since english is not my native language)!!
This brand new LIS: BTS game awsome as LIS. I'm so connected like previus game. Deck Nine really sucsseced about this game. I loved it. And you 2 are awsome again. I love your toughts, comments and gameplay. Thank you for this. Now there are more theories to solve. I love when dotnod and deck nine do that. I love thinking and make theories.
Mari's "Everyone's fine with this?" That's pretty much my thought every time everyone just kinda looks on at there's double moons and shit in the first Life Is Strange. Seriously, the whole population of Arcadia Bay seems to be whacked out of their minds. Which is part of why I'm okay with the letting the town be destroyed (for love) ending of the first game, because these people don't seem to be living in reality anyway.
Really enjoyed your play through (though had to wait until I'd played the episode myself to watch). Skip's band is p. legit, btw. Missed out there, though I guess you'd have to mute that out anyway.
Damn the whole segment at the end about how Media can effect how other people might see you. Hit home more than the game, it's weird how people can already have opinions on who you are based on one aspect of you that they know.
i just thought of something ever since you guys read those signs on the train dude. what if chloe and rachel brought upon a curse on themselves and those around them for burning that oak tree and the sacred grounds around it, otherwise like what significance would the fire have in the story. It's honestly one of the few things my brain can't file away yet.
Is it just me or the scene with everyone looking mostly calmly into the fire almost a direct parallel to one of the chapter's ending scenes in the original LiS. I can't remember which chapter, but I wanna say 3. It's when everyone looks into the sky around after Kate's situation and the camera also shows the dead animals and shit
I dont want to accept that rachel is dead... i cant... in the trailer it said one girl can change everything. So surely... and btw, hi george. I know you are reading this :).
And that completely preventable fire set off by teenagers is exactly what's going on in the pacific northwest today. I'm in Seattle and the air is thick with smoke, it hurts to breathe. Just caught news last night that some of our friends in Portland are being evacuated. Life is.. such a coincidence
23:51 I didn't share earbuds in my gameplay. I've got feeling that Chloe had (read: I would have had) a little bit anxiety in that situation. She's listening to music to make herself relax. I think that making other people listen to my music is really stressful because I always wonder if they like my music etc. That's why I never share my earbuds because it would make my way to relax stressful.
Also, because I'm a music nerd... I'm loving that they stuck with something mellow and in D major for the end credits. Although that's going to kill me come episode 3, because it killed me at the end of episode 5 of the original.
I hope you guys do a negative choices stream for this game, also so you can go back and move the poster in William's car. I'd also like to know what happens in that final dialogue with Rachel if you choose not to do Talk Back with Drew and don't hit the guy with the bottle (I'm pretty sure the game won't let you lose the bouncer Talk Back).
I gotta admit this was a lot better than I thought. I thought it was gonna be a quick cash grab, but it looks like they put a lot of work into this. It does feel a bit off from don't nod, but otherwise it's pretty good. It probably helps too that they had a lot of assets to reuse
I have this weird theory that on the main menu screen on episode 2, there's the picture of Rachel with Chole in a vehicle maybe she really stole David's muscle car. I think Chole actually literally went to Rachel's place to pack their bags and just go somewhere so then the whole game is just them going on an adventure but later they came back to Arcadia Bay. *^*
Anyone notice how Chloe has short hair in the nightmare / memories of her dad vs how she has long hair in the first life is strange when max tries to save Chloe's dad.
We've discovered Chloe's power, dating girls with superpowers
Whateveridontcaremeh Supernatural shit seems to follow her
Whateveridontcaremeh at this point i think her power is giving people powers cause dang she is either a supernatural magnet or just being around her causes it
Whateveridontcaremeh Chloe Price is the Claire Temple of LiS.
I mean come on, guys... we all knew Rachel was pretty *hot* ... not to diss Chloe tho, I mean look at her, she's a chick *magnet*
honestly, Before the Storm makes the original LiS that much more painful. Fuck.... imagine uncovering Rachel's body and Chloe sobbing over it now that we have context to their relationship :/
That whole "because you're not real" moment was TOO real.
nick it was towards the end of the episode, with Chloe being in that nightmare again w/ her dad
nick The beginning of this video.
The car bits are the saddest for me in Ep1. The combination of such love and grief.
I always think back to when Mari theorized the plot to Until Dawn halfway through the game with complete amazement
nah man it was in the first 2 hours *shades*
Geek Remix my apologies *bows*
MarthaPops SAME
If you say "a friendship" instead of "something more" to Rachel at the junkyard, Chloe does still say later that she's unsure what it is between them and it might be something more eventually, and she wants to find out. So even if you pick friendship it doesn't suddenly un-gayify the game. NICE.
take that, straights!
Geek Remix I think even a lot of straight people are shipping this. Why WOULDN'T you? Chloe is getting it.
Well the first game already established it was something more. So it's another example of a complete illusion of choice.
do not underestimate the straights. they'll just call them really good "gal pals"
kissed? WHAT GREAT GAL PALS >_>......
Me: Wow. That ending was so beautiful.
Other Me: Did you really just start a forest fire?
I'm both lol. I was like Awww beautiful ....WHY DID YOU KICK THE TRASH CAN?! the fuck, Rachel!?
Yes she did start a forest fire because she has superpowers ! I mean look the way she screamed ! Plus I found this on Wikipedia:
" Rachel destroys a family photo in a burning trash bin, and in a fit of rage kicks it over. A nearby tree is set alight as Rachel is revealed to have supernatural powers "
I wouldn't trust wikis at all. People can just edit it. It was also in the Life is Strange wiki.
what? It got set on fire because she kicked the trash can but it looks like when she screams that a gust of wind rushes past her
She doesn't have superpowers. The developers themselves said that there might be a touch of supernatural in the game (so the wind might be supernatural) but that nobody has superpowers. So Rachel is not a mystical being or doesn't have superpowers, as confirmed by the devs (source: an AMA before the game's release iirc)
Theory: Rachel has wind powers and when she died he became a spirit and created the storm and when Chloe dies Rachel and Chloe were reunited preventing the storm and helping her find peace.
Edit: Never knew I'd get so many likes
There was a line in the original game where Chloe said: "This is Rachel's storm." Maybe it actually is.
Donatello Lolos that's shuch a hood theory to be honest. it makes sense
TrainsReloaded oh my lord
Donatello Lolos PRECISELY
That's so beautiful and sad omg!!
The scene where characters are looking at the smoke of the fire reminds me of the scene in the first Life is Strange where characters are looking at the snow fall
Crae Kings it's a Parallel as directly as possible😊 fire montage vs snow montage
I was about to say that. 😮
Okay since this is called "before the storm" and Rachel kinda seems to have some sort of weird wind powers I wouldn't be surprised if Rachel would play the part of Ariel in the Tempest play, who is considered a wind spirit. Ariel also means "Lion of God" and Rachel confirmed that she is a Leo. (just my weird theory)
Ariel was a male character often played by women. In Shakespeare's The Tempest he was also trapped in an old pine tree and the tree Rachel just burned down kinda looked like that to me.
You BLEW my mind with your theory.. thank you :) i will be looking out for another comment on a seasom 2 vid by you for another theory!
That is correct, sir. I hope you're right. Rachel is the storm!!
actually , Rachel is playing the role of Prospera . Juliet Watson is playing the role of Ariel . You can find it in the Computer of the Drama Room
She's playing Prosper(a), who is apparently a character that created a storm magically or something ? I need to read The Tempest...
Whenever Rachel is on screen you can see the wind.
Mari's whole thing about not knowing she had OCD for a long time because it didn't fit into common conventions of what people say about OCD is very relatable to me, but about depression. I was SURE when I was younger that I didn't have depression (even though holy SHIT did I ever, it was really bad, I still have it now) because all I'd ever heard about depressed people was that they hurt themselves and they want to die.

fizzycolalizzie god, everybody thinks they have SOMEthing nowadays. Your not depressed your unhealthy, eat some veggies and go for a run.

That lesbian girl with brown short hair looks really similar to Chloe from Life is strange. But It can't ber her. I mean, Chloe has blue hair and different voice. DUH.
"Symbolism and shit" -Stacy 2017
Unexpectedly, I'm actually liking this more than the original life is strange.
There's no time travel drama or distracting side paths. We're just thrust into the gayness. What more could we possibly need.
"We're just thrust into the gayness." Would you mind if I use this amazing quote for the rest of my life?
I feel you. More focus on emotions.
Absolutely. I wholeheartedly believe that we could all use a little more gay thrusting.
I did not sign up for this gay thrusting, but I'm enjoying it.
I think the dialogue is better in this. I'm happy that chloe is more likable and that rachel amber is actually pretty charming. I was worried she wouldnt have lived up to the hype.
in the dream scene William turned into David for a second!!!!
SOUND MUTED AT 10:19 TO 11:14
i know i had to do it because the song there was blocking the video in the US
oh okay i thought it was my pc, tks /sorry for beinG SO EXPrESSIVE
guadagnin_s I was worried my earphones suddenly broke
I was so confused like "uh wtf I CAN'T HEAR"
sad face
Did anyone notice that the truck in the junkyard was Chloe's in the future?
JuJuBeanerz Yup it looked like it wae!
JuJuBeanerz also wondering, when Rachel sits down in the junkyard... isn't that the corner/area where she's buried?
Zuah Chun I'm not sure
JuJuBeanerz It WILL Be.. Most Fitting Too
Hence another reason for the Junkyard to be special and an escape from reality for both, Chloe and Rachel!
Nah, that same truck is there in the original game...unless is was a mistake, but I doubt it
Alternative title: LiS Before the Storm Episode 1 - Lemme Smash
0/10 not enough animal smashing
a double entendre
You missed something, girl. Skip's demo is Wowsers !
Max Caulfield what do you mean
Simply that the band is actually great ;)
Maxine Caulfield!
Yes ? I know, I shouldn't be here, this isn't my story... wrong timeline, my bet !
Max Caulfield *Chloe voice* shake that bony white ass ;)
What was all that wind when Rachel screamed?good timing?or something more?I smell a theory🤔
Dot the magical world of symbolism
She's one with nature, the doe, the wind, IT'S ALL MAGICAL.
i hope so
She creates Wind when she screams, I guess she was screaming her lungs off when the Tornado came.
I feel like that has something to do with the storm in Life is Strange, maybe Rachel was the storm. Idk, I mean what if the storm still happened even if Chloe died and we were meant to think it never did.
I'm so glad we've got the whole episode today
Who else thought headphones broke when they were burning the photo
I'M SO EXCITED. Also I love Chloe now?? Plot twist, because the first time I came across Life is Strange, I didn't like her much. And now here I am, wanting only good things for her.
ramywiles
She gets some of my respect
Some don't excuse her family issues
She's not perfect, and she doesn't deal with her pain particularly healthily... I think she's good at her core, though.
I'm so happy watching this--it's been a while since I've seen you guys so excited heading into an LP right off the bat, and I speak for a lot of viewers when I say that we love to see you guys having so much fun!
i guess you could call William a dREAM DADDY
...wops
Ranielle Wu TOO SOON
WOW
MY HEART
NEW DLC, THE GHOST OF WILLIAM, DATE YOUR WAY TO HIS COLD DEAD HEART.
Ranielle Wu Oh MY GOD NOT ALLOWED
Chloe:why are there so many ravens Rachael?
Rachael:I dont know.
As the fire continue to burn
In the another world
In winterfell
Bran:that was beautiful.
Joshua Ming omg my day has been made 😂
I noticed that Rachel actually displays a lot of typical sociopathic behavior.
Mizako 96 ikr I found it weird how she tricked Chloe into opening up about her life on the train ride. Not to mention how she's so analytical
Mizako 96 Yeah, I figured that her and Chloe will have a fucked up mentally abusive relationship and Chloe never really figures.
Mizako 96 What kind of behavior is sociopathic?
charming, confident, sudden burst of rage, extremely analytical, sexually promiscuous, manipulative.
If she was a sociopath she wouldn't care about her dad, it wouldn't upset her. Sociopaths don't feel empathy and only care about themselves.
What I really hope to see is Kate before the video and how she was before depression. It would be nice to see her at 100% cinnamon roll status
What's life is strange about?
4:09
i'm fucking wheezing bc its true
Honestly I don't even ship Chloe with Rachel or Max anymore, I ship her with happiness :(
That woman has an arm sleeve similar to Chloe's in LiS
Handsome Zach I'm going back in the video to notice shit I didn't
Now we all need to wait for the next two episodes of the game :,)
Cas H I originally thought so too, but I guess that's just the confirmed length for the game that we have to wait to be released 1 by 1
GingerStars when is the next episode going to be released?
Marije - There is no release date as of yet ;-;
Marije - propably november
I feel that Chloe is actually more relatable than Max because people don't just get powers out of nowhere, I mean come on, Chloe's character has a regular teenage life, skips class, smokes,brakes rules, steals etc. I'm not saying that all teenagers do that I'm just saying that some do and it's way more relatable than finding out you have superpowers out of the blue and using them as an advantage to solve crimes. That might be the reason why people are liking this one better, it feels more real, more possible, and it's harder, it has more similarities to real life and that might make you like it more. Chloe had a pretty bad life, but like Mari says it's teaching you to enjoy the small things in life because you never know when they end, it also connects to what Stacy said, I forgot what she said exactly but it was along the lines of everything going to crap at one point, they said in the video everything ends, if your happy who's will e sad at one point, if your sad you will be happy at some point, if your alive you will be dead at some point, everything ends.

ByonicalBtheGREAT Completely true!
ByonicalBtheGREAT in the first game most people dont like max or are indifferent until she gets her powers. She uses her power to manipulate people into likeing her.
Chloe and rachel have people like them because they earned it. Max cheated.
ByonicalBtheGREAT Jesus, that was a long ass comment for such a simple point. Regret reading the damn thing
no ones gonna talk about how happy the woman in the end? she must done something with rachel.. or she might know the who caused the fire.. life is actually.. weird.
muhd Ashraf she might be another time traveler
I absolutely loved you guy's discussion during the credits. My exact thoughts have never been out in such clear words. I can't get enough of your channel's hella great & unique commentary !!!
WAIT. Does this mean that when Rachel died her powers were unleashed so hard that it caused a hurricane. A hurricane thats sole purpose basically happens because Chloe dies and to destroy arcadia bay.... that is beautiful.
Rachel seems to have some sort of emotion based or wind powers. When she screamed in anger at the tree after starting a fire, the wind seemed to bend to her will and make the fire bigger. The game is called "Before the Storm" and The Tempest keeps popping up. Rachel could play the part of Ariel, who is considered a wind spirit.
Rachael was turning Super Saiyan for a second.
Max, able to rewrite past decisions that she was involved in.
Rachel, causes disasters and has them expand (maybe).
Chloe, the one girl who had to pay for it all.
holy shit i loved this game i was excited and this morning when i woke up i saw you guys had the first 4 episodes up and wow it is amazing the excitement was not let down
Is the women smoking the cigarette the homeless women? She kinda looks similar then again you barely see her face
jvst peachy I was thinking that too, but I doubt it really. I'd have to replay it to see any kind of significant resemblance like with the way she talks but I'm not sure
jvst peachy it'd be hard to tell too because if the homeless woman has a sleeve tat, it's hidden in her jacket
How many super powered girlfriends does Chloe have ?
Wow that totally surpassed my expectations, that was so good omg
I can only say thank you for uploading this for people that are not able to play the game. I really like this, maybe even more than the first game. Really awesome and interesting, cant wait for the next episode!
Who else wanted to hug Mari or give her a warm cuppa tea? :'I
Queer Jelly most of us :')
That's cool, there's a contrast to the beginning of the seasons
The ending of the first episode ended with a forest fire
But for maxes side she had snowfalling
listened to this lp all day, good content, also good game, i was worried it was gonna suck and not fit, especially since i just finished a lis playthrough like a month ago so its still fresh. also good job on the making me cry in the middle of work, nailed it.
This was really good! I had no expectation but it turned out to be really great! Nice Job guys!
I don't know if this is important, but I'm really curious about the characters in this Life is Strange that aren't in the original game. What happened to them? Did some of girls get killed by Jefferson? Did they leave? And if they did leave, what caused them to leave? These are just theories I was thinking about.
LongLiveSim they Probably went to another school
LongLiveSim this game takes place about three years before Max gets accepted into Blackwell, so they either graduated, or moved/transferred to different schools
but isn't it a school for seniors? why would victoria still be there..
"And we could run away
Before the light of day
You know we always could
The mountains say, the mountains say"
Don't forget to look at the journal and texts during the dream sequences
If I had a nickel for every time they say "skeevy guys."
Thank god I discovered this channel
Real nice talk at the end :) looking foward for the next chapter guys!!
what if Rachel is the storm we see in Life is Strange, with these weird gales and gusts that we see when she's around (when ur looking over the trees with the viewfinder it's there too) or screams/has intense emotions? IDK just a thought
Wow that OCD thing you talked about at the end of the video is something I relate to, I was told by a professional I have OCD tendencies with my parents in the room and then later on my dad said "you don't have OCD if you had OCD then your room wouldn't be messy all the time." and I tried to explain to him there are different types of OCD, then he shut me down instantly. So who knows if I actually have OCD or if its just tendencies. Anyway entertaining great video, as always.
I think what happened here is that rachel basically started everything maybe with a curse or some such magic. Shes like the stone dropped in a pond and max is the ripple.
the scene at 11:15 gave me the most chills i've ever had playing a video game and y'all are just like "what the fuck is she doing"
i'm liking this much more than the original life is strange right now.
my heart just sunk, omg that was emotional, and can't wait for the theories
Great episode 1 and great playthrough of it
In second dream if you open a Chloe diary/journal there is a drawing of hanged Max on a tree... And disturbed messages from Max and Chloe's mom.
"You had the courage to tell me that you feel it, too. And I treated you like shit" *solemn moment*
Stacie - "Yeah, you kinda did." *completely casual*
Me - "LOL!"
is it just me or does the audio cut out between 10:20 and 11:14?
Nope me too
Rania probably because of the music
How can that possibly be just you?
"And my dad will definitely punish me with....." with? with? WITH?! Finish the sentence Rachel!
Mari is like the master of predictions, shes like almost always spot on and I always go :OOO HOW DID SHE KNOW.
So, I'm with that notebook/diary thing with me, that was kind of a present from my mom, and I decided I needed a name for it, like Chloe named her diary Max lol. And I think I'm gonna name it Macy; got it -- because MAri and StaCY xD
She has a black leather cover with a deathly hallows symbol in it :P -- yup, I will use she/her for the notebook.
Nobody asked me nothing but I'm a little talkative tonight lol.
Great video, you two! I love your guys' work (don't know if that exist since english is not my native language)!!
before this gets viral
I'M PICKLE RIIIIIIIIIICK
This brand new LIS: BTS game awsome as LIS. I'm so connected like previus game. Deck Nine really sucsseced about this game. I loved it. And you 2 are awsome again. I love your toughts, comments and gameplay. Thank you for this. Now there are more theories to solve. I love when dotnod and deck nine do that. I love thinking and make theories.
I have a theory Racheal is a banshee! I mean the screaming just reminded me of Teen Wolf. So, my head(brain) just went there and yes I'm proud of it 😏
She reminded me of "Roswell Conspiracies: Aliens, Myths and Legends."
Honestly I think the voice actors in this game fit the characters better than the original ones... And they give better performances too.
Is it just me or is the song Praying by Ke$ha, literally how I feel Kate would react after she gets peace and time to heal
Awesumous It's just you. And change your profile pic, you basic bitch.
Clear B NEVER for I am the basic queen
Clear B You are forgive!
Mari's "Everyone's fine with this?" That's pretty much my thought every time everyone just kinda looks on at there's double moons and shit in the first Life Is Strange. Seriously, the whole population of Arcadia Bay seems to be whacked out of their minds. Which is part of why I'm okay with the letting the town be destroyed (for love) ending of the first game, because these people don't seem to be living in reality anyway.
Damn. Ashly Burch(the original Chloe) is not only an amazing voice actress, but also an amazing writer. This episode proves it.
I thought i wasnt going to like this at all but like im digging it. Chloes voice didnt even bother me likethe whole episode was great
At 7:00, you can see "ansia" is written on Chloe's hand, which is italian for anxious?
Chloe smashing all the stuff in the junkyard and Rachel screaming and starting the fire was so satisfying for some reason! Like yes! Let it all out!!
The tree was just doing his thing, photosynthesis and whatnot, and some girl just set him on fire!
The tree had nothing to do with what happened
I don't know if it's just me but every time I see a bisexual on tv they find out by cheating on their partner with a different sex
Really enjoyed your play through (though had to wait until I'd played the episode myself to watch). Skip's band is p. legit, btw. Missed out there, though I guess you'd have to mute that out anyway.
I can't wait for Mari's theories!!!!
Damn the whole segment at the end about how Media can effect how other people might see you. Hit home more than the game, it's weird how people can already have opinions on who you are based on one aspect of you that they know.
i just thought of something ever since you guys read those signs on the train dude. what if chloe and rachel brought upon a curse on themselves and those around them for burning that oak tree and the sacred grounds around it, otherwise like what significance would the fire have in the story. It's honestly one of the few things my brain can't file away yet.
Is it just me or the scene with everyone looking mostly calmly into the fire almost a direct parallel to one of the chapter's ending scenes in the original LiS. I can't remember which chapter, but I wanna say 3. It's when everyone looks into the sky around after Kate's situation and the camera also shows the dead animals and shit
OH fuck. The band tshirt guy is coming.
Can we just call him T-Shit until we get his name? Or even after we get his name?
I dont want to accept that rachel is dead... i cant... in the trailer it said one girl can change everything. So surely... and btw, hi george. I know you are reading this :).
I like this Chloe more than the original lis Chloe, idk, she just feels different. It might be because of Rachel.
i can't believe that firewalk dork is going to be the main antagonist
Kate Kulinski o yea we actually don't know about the antagonist so far right? is there even one tho?
And that completely preventable fire set off by teenagers is exactly what's going on in the pacific northwest today. I'm in Seattle and the air is thick with smoke, it hurts to breathe. Just caught news last night that some of our friends in Portland are being evacuated. Life is.. such a coincidence
23:51 I didn't share earbuds in my gameplay. I've got feeling that Chloe had (read: I would have had) a little bit anxiety in that situation. She's listening to music to make herself relax. I think that making other people listen to my music is really stressful because I always wonder if they like my music etc. That's why I never share my earbuds because it would make my way to relax stressful.
Also, because I'm a music nerd... I'm loving that they stuck with something mellow and in D major for the end credits. Although that's going to kill me come episode 3, because it killed me at the end of episode 5 of the original.
I hope you guys do a negative choices stream for this game, also so you can go back and move the poster in William's car. I'd also like to know what happens in that final dialogue with Rachel if you choose not to do Talk Back with Drew and don't hit the guy with the bottle (I'm pretty sure the game won't let you lose the bouncer Talk Back).
Did the sound go off for anyone else when she lit the photo?
Emma Friese yea
I so know that "what if I'm completely crazy and wrong about everything" life.
The audio cuts out at about 10:20?
Cheddarhead7 cuz copyright
Great playthrough ^_^
Guess who *totally* wasn't chanting "HOLD HER HAND" when they were standing in front of the burning tree
I'm determined that max and Rachel are gonna meet. She's connected to that tornado! Those wind powers?!!!
I gotta admit this was a lot better than I thought. I thought it was gonna be a quick cash grab, but it looks like they put a lot of work into this. It does feel a bit off from don't nod, but otherwise it's pretty good. It probably helps too that they had a lot of assets to reuse
I have this weird theory that on the main menu screen on episode 2, there's the picture of Rachel with Chole in a vehicle maybe she really stole David's muscle car. I think Chole actually literally went to Rachel's place to pack their bags and just go somewhere so then the whole game is just them going on an adventure but later they came back to Arcadia Bay. *^*
This entire franchise is an xmen spinoff
Anyone notice how Chloe has short hair in the nightmare / memories of her dad vs how she has long hair in the first life is strange when max tries to save Chloe's dad.
