You have to respect a game that is willing to deal with so many sensitive and/or obscure topics throughout its plot. Imagine how much this encouraged players to exercise reflection and debate this story with their unique perspectives. The title made me shed many tears, but I am grateful for them and the memories I had from this experience.
The Voice acting work in the junkyard scene is so good is because Ashly Burch the VA for Chloe, 2 weeks before doing this scene lost a close friend to a overdose, this was done in one take and Hannah, Max's also lost a close loved one around the same time, the tears the two shed in this are genuine. They were asked if it was better if they rescheduled and they said no, they were also in the same room when shooting the emotional scenes. this scene was actually done in a single take, not a second one was done because it was perfect. as it captured the genuine emotion the two were still processing from their own grief. And my theory on the deer, the first time you actually see it, it leads you to where Rachels body is and stands over it you just don't know the meaning of it by that point. My Theory is that Deer was Rachel's spirit animal and Max shares the same spirit animal so that's why she could see it, it was Rachel trying to lead them to her body, and it lowers it's head as if it's sad before it disappears, seeing Chloe breaking down.
Apparently my other comment got blocked, because there was a link in it. Just wanted to point out, that Ashly Burch did write about the making of this scene in her blog, and they did indeed multiple readings of that scene. Sadly, her blog doesn't exist anymore. But if you go to her Wikipedia page and search for "The Boy in the Well", you can find the link to the archived version of that article. She writes about her friend David, how he died, how she felt during that time and how it connected her to Chloe, especially during this scene. It's a very emotional read, and I'm always tearing up, while reading it. It's well written, too.
Also, Ashly was the one who found her partner's body after he died. She said in her blog how playing Chloe allowed her to express her grief, saying that playing Chloe for her was an act of self-care. All the emotion in that scene is real. You can find it by searching for "The boy in the Well by Ashly Burch"
This episode cemented Life Is Strange as one of my favorite games of all time. The scene after the barn is soooo gut wrenching every damn time no matter how many times I’ve played or watched it. I think it’s the song they chose and Ashley Burch’s performance as Chloe that just sets it over the edge
The Jefferson twist was really well done. When I played the game, I didn't see it coming at all. Yes, he was suspicious to me and I had a feeling that something about him was off. But I wouldn't ever expect him to be the one behind it all. I can imagine that the next episode will be very stressful for you. Because it just is.
They did a great job writing the twist. Its well enough hidden that you don't expect it, yet its fairly obvious in hindsight with various statements and behaviors he made. "I could trap you in a dark corner and capture you in a moment of desperation" (almost at the beginning of the game). His interaction with Kate just before she jumps. His general creepy vibes. So often, late twists are not foreshadowed much, and just feel unnatural. The Jefferson twist was very well done.
At 20:19 was a letter from Nathans Therapist. To explain how he is worried Nathan is not getting the right help, And his parents neglecting his mental state, They took it out of the "remastered" version for some reason
It's probably just a bug, because the letter is still there and looks like an important item, with the pill bottles right aside. Kali was right, when she said, she feels like she should be able to read that.
A shame you can't read it in the remaster. I always loved that letter because the therapist makes it clear that it's impossible for Nathan to improve on his own and tells Sean that he is part of the problem and therefore has to be a part of the solution, and since Sean is unwilling to do that there's nothing the therapist can do for Nathan. Shows that as bad as Nathan is, his problems didn't come from a vacuum.
And what did we learn from all this, my dear friends? Never trust your hot teacher with interests in photography and do your therapy even more after this game
I only learnt that Louis Daguerre was a French painter who created "daguerreotypes" a process that gave portraits a sharp reflective style, like a mirror.
That note in the bunker that you couldn't read must have been glitching, because I definitely remember reading it. From what I recall, it was a note from Nathan's psychiatrist to his parents, basically warning them that he was very ill but that the doctor was no longer going to treat Nathan because he insisted that the parents be involved with Nathan's therapy and that they were refusing to do so.
This remaster was purely a cash grab to release along with the extra expensive version of True Colors. A game with this art style has zero need to be remastered. It's like watching cartoons in HD - pointless.
I've actually submitted an error report on this on more than one occasion. You are correct. The letter is from Dr. Jacobi (another Twin Peaks ref) stating exactly that.
This whole segment from the dark room to junkgard always moves me as if it were the first time I was seeing it, imagining all that with the characters that you learned to love and care about just makes everything much worse and seeing Chloe's reaction dps ... it breaks any heart
It's like when you suddenly find that you can't rewind to save Kate. You can't use that power and it hits you in the chest. "I can't do anything!" It makes you feel so helpless.
Instead of scary movies I’d like to see you play scary games like Until Dawn, The Quarry, or The Dark Pictures Anthology. Also the stunned silence after the big reveal is the moment I’ve been waiting for after all the theorizing. All that’s left is to see how you choose to end it and I’m excited though I have a feeling I know what you’re going to do
Good Morning Kali…this episode was intense and that barn scene at the beginning still gets to me and couldn’t believe what happened at the end. I’m enjoying your play throughs of the game as well. And I like how you take your time with the game. You look pretty too. Congrats on 21k subs and close to 30k. Here’s to many more and you deserve it. Keep up the amazing work. Can’t wait to watch the next episode. Have a good day today. 👍💯
I remember when I first played this episode, and finding out that Rachel was dead all this time, was so disturbing... I was so involved in the mystery of her disappearance, that I really thought they were going to find her alive, maybe in the dark room or somewhere else. it's just sad...
Same. I usually tend to be cynical about this kind of stuff, but for whatever reason (probably all that "Super Max" ego-stroking) I had this weird belief we'd find Rachel alive, just kidnapped and in really bad shape. The discovery hits really hard. Probably because games don't usually go there. It pulls no punches
@@robchuk4136 exactly! I remember not feeling scared at all cause I really thought everything would work out to be ok in the end. the choices never scared me, too. I would think like "it doesn't matter, I can always rewind..." and then Max loses her power and Chloe is dead... like, there's no turning back from that. and Rachel too. max can't go back that far.
I really don't like Victoria, but I thought it was worth warning her. Nobody deserves to have to go through that, so if there's the slightest chance I can prevent it, I'll take it. I do understand your concerns about that potentially leading to worse outcomes tho, but imo, the worst potential outcome was Victoria ending up as a victim. Rewinding time is a crucial element/mechanic of this game. If you ever feel like a certain decision doesn't sit right with you, you have the ability to reverse the decision. You can always see how a certain decision plays out before making up your mind. Enjoying the playthrough, looking forward to the next one!
This episode wrecked me.When I first saw Jefferson's face I was genuinely shocked I did not expect him to be behind all of this . He was playing good teacher all along but deep down he was always a sick pieceofshit. Also I still cry watching the junkyard scene specially after playing before the storm 😪
A real mind-blowing twist to the ending, eh Kali? ...I'll see myself out, lol. Fun fact at the end of the credits, it says thanks for playing, but in episode 4, it says thanks for crying...
Justin in the vortex club toilet said: "Maximum Overdrive" Wich is a Stephen King story and movie. Allot of Machines have their own mind in that movie. With music of AC/DC
1:27:53 the focus on her neckless. she died three times with a bullet. when Nathan shot her in the bathroom. when she shot herself in the junkyard. and now, with Mr. Jefferson and she died next to Rachel too 😭
One thing a lot of players don't know is that you can actually control time. You can select all the dialogue options you want without consequences, so please explore them and make a decision if you are not sure
Not a movie, but ‘scary’ tv series; The Haunting of Hill House. Only 8 episodes. 10/10! Amazing characters, plot, and direction. Not the normal ‘tropey’ pointless jumpscare, terrible plot, bland characters that most of the horror genre suffers from.
It's the one show i wanted to recommend as well. Haunting of hill house and all of the other flanagans work is amazing. It's a perfect fit for kali i think.
The note around 20 minutes in is bugged in the remastered version. It's a letter from nathans psychologist telling his parents that he's worried about nathans slipping and that the parents allows it.
I remember that when I played this game, when I got to Rachel's discovery, I had this feeling of irreality... the narrative got here so perfectly that I reacted like I would have in real life. I couldn't believe it. I felt something moving inside.
It’s such a gut punch of a finale that. I was trying in vain to use the rewind like you and then just sitting stunned for I don’t know how long, crying. The truth about Rachel and I think we all suspected but just pushed it out of our minds because, no way would a game do this to us. Understand your feelings about not continuing. Tougher times are ahead , however the game is worth seeing until the end. I hope nobody spoils anything. I would like to add my wishes for you to play the new version of Until Dawn that’s coming soon. The original is a phenomenal interactive story with a spooky vibe for Halloween themed content.
I'm loving your playthrough! I really, really hope you go on to play Life is Strange: Before the Storm as soon as you're done with LiS1. 39:08 - "... Nathan's first victim, maybe it went a little bit sideways..." Your insight is spot on. 1:00:20 - Yeah, there's a way to take a picture of the two moons during the pool scene like you suspected. You just have to get the angle exactly right. 1:26:34 - I have never noticed that you can see the lighthouse lit up during the nighttime junkyard scene. 1:32:12 - Other commenters were correct. Trying to get "the Frank conversation" correct on your very first try is insanely difficult. It's actually kind of funny when most players get it repeatedly wrong, for reasons I won't mention in case they're a spoiler. 1:33:15 - Most people probably miss Warren's slate, which is why the percentage of people who changed it is very low. One last mention, the first time you see the spirit doe in the junkyard in episode 2, it's standing directly over Rachel's grave. Many people use this to suspect that the doe is supposed to be Rachel's spirit animal, but I suspect it's actually Max's, attempting to lead her to what she's looking for.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Nathan’s father was or isn’t behind this. I can see him being involved in purchasing the bunker, but anything else I assume would have to be Nathan’s doing if not Jefferson since he is a famous photographer and that does open a lot of doors for him.
Omg congrats on figuring out you needed to rewind to get the motor back up so fast! Most people forget they have rewind powers again here and get super confused
The really…cool? huh, doesn’t feel quite appropriate. The really interesting part about the twist at the end of the chapter is that they laid down hints about the twist in the very beginning of Episode 1. You-know-who says some really really messed up things in that first classroom sequence. "I could frame any of you in a dark corner and capture you in a moment of desperation. But wouldn't that be too easy?" He also, and I wouldn’t have noticed this if not for another let’s play channel, positions himself in class in a way that, given the twist, is creepy. All the “traditionally attractive” girls are seated so that he’s facing them. Victoria, Taylor, Max, Stella, Kate, etc. All the guys (and the one girl that isn’t ’conventionally attractive’, Alyssa) are seated so he has his back to them. Not worth his notice, I suppose. Think back as well to the showcase of his work on the quad. All the photographs fit a similar theme, and that theme is similar to the themes you see in the photographs of Kate & Rachel in the bunker. And speaking of Kate, I think you picked up on this, but think about Episode 2 when Kate is talking to him before class. He’s very rude to her there. Then he says she was asking for it, brought it on herself, what have you. I absolutely love the twist and how they laid out clues that, in hindsight, are very clear but at the time seem relatively innocuous. I'll end this comment edit by pointing out that there was a gap between Rachel's disappearance and the girl who disappeared most recently before her. This gap lines up with Jefferson's time in New York City. I'd be willing to bet that there were girls who went missing there during that time and that the disappearances stop when he came back to Oregon to teach at Blackwell.
Regarding leaving Warren a message: the issue is that the location is somewhat out of the way. Unless you are actively trying to find everything, you are likely to go into Nathan's room before you reach Warren's room, and end up not going to Warren's board at all. For Chloe's request: right-to-die laws have around an 80%-90% public support in some form. Around 50%-60% say active assistance is warranted when their is no hope of improvement, while close to 90% say refusal of treatment is moral. Overall, the fact that 67% accepted Chloe's request is not all that surprising to me.
That makes a lot of sense! I guess I didn't feel rushed in this moment just because I didn't pick up any 'you'll fail this moment if you don't rush' vibes from the game so far. I'm glad that was true though, because I would have failed otherwise 🤣 And seeing those statistics definitely makes more sense that more would opt to go for Chloe's request. This is one of those situations where you wouldn't understand unless you're in those shoes.. They are hard shoes to be in.
Not in the remaster, because there are no credits. Kinda kills the mood and gives you no time for processing such a massive twist like in this episode. I really don't know what they were thinking over at Deck Nine.
One of my favorite scary movies is "The Others", starring Nicole Kidman. It's a bit more of a suspense than outright "scary" horror film (it's listed as being in the "psychological horror" genre, according to Google, which I'd say is accurate) but it's got a pretty unique and twisty story, and is a good stepping stone to other more scary and recent fan-favorite horror films like "The Conjuring".
Hi Kali, Here is a tip for if you play this game again or other Life is Strange games. What i did when i played all of them, is take for every page that you get at the end of the episodes a picture for the answers you chose then. 👍🏽
So sad of what happened can’t wait till THE FINALE! Shocking I never thought it was Mr. Jefferson there were some weird things about him but I never knew .. he would do that!
Yeah pretty sure I had the same reaction when I played. Didn't see the twist coming at all. Very interested in seeing what you do in the final episode. Idk how you go the next day or so without playing. I had to dive right into the next one after that cliffhanger. Thanks for another great episode Kali.
Scary Movie recommendations: 1) John Carpenter's "The Thing" 2) The 70's version of "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" with Donald Sutherland 3) Session 9 There are many more, but those are three of my favorites! I'm surprised you don't know who "Watson" is. Dr. Watson is the assistant to Sherlock Holmes.
To answer your question about Warren's slate - a lot of people miss it and a lot of people don't go down the path of having Max and Warren being close (I did go down that path)
About accepting Chloe's request, there's a lot to unpack, but I think she's saying it pretty well. She has made her decision, and her handicap is just preventing her to do it herself. If she could, she would've. The fact that she doesn't have the physical ability to do it shouldn't prevent her to make that decision, she's asking for help, and I just see that as being there for my friend. I she was hungry, I would've brought her something to eat, it would be pretty selfish to say "no, I don't want you to eat" and profit from the fact that she actually can't herself to impose my will on her. in addition, if you chose to refuse, she does tell you that she already talked about it to her parents and that they won't respect her will. It's kinda like people not respecting other people wishes about how their body should be disposed off once they're dead. The dead person can't do anything about it, but I think it still should be their decision. Not saying I would be happy to do it irl if a friend asked me, but in a similar situation, I think I would... It would hurt like hell to do it, but still.
I really enjoyed listening to your thought process behind the decision on if you should warn Victoria. I think for most, the decision is very black and white, and those who choose not to warn her, see it as "Oh I hate Victoria, I don't care what happens to her, F her, I won't warn her". Which is why it ends up the heavy minority decision. But you took it so many steps deeper. Considering how much danger is she actually in considering what Max and Chloe are doing, and if you put the main mission of finding Nathan at risk by warning her. All of that extra insight has always made your playthroughs so engaging to watch! As you've seen, all the decisions in this game are very nuanced and aren't straight up right or wrong, so we'll just have to wait and see how the next chapter plays out
For sure! Sometimes it's better to keep those in danger out of the know in the moment because it could be their life on the line. I love the decisions in this game because I feel like they have pros/cons either way. I love Mass Effect, but it was easier to make some decisions because they did make it very black and white. But this game has so many shades of grey which makes it a great story and adds so much depth to the characters too!
The scene with finding Rachel is still one of the hardest hitting scenes for me emotionally in a game I’ve played, and I think most of it is just how good and well executed the music and voice acting is during all of it. You put together all the clues along with Nathan’s own profile sooooo well, predicting what was really happening in the bunker. I don’t think anyone on their first time tho is ready for who the real villain down there is I think for Warren's slate, the % for not writing on it is inflated a little higher by all the people who went straight to Nathan's room and didn't interact with it. Even for me, for as thoroughly as I explored when I played, I remember somehow missing it. Which is sad, bc it's such an endearing message Max puts on there For scary movies, I can recommend The Conjuring franchise! They’re the ones I got my start on watching modern horror films, and compared to many others, they do a really good job at bringing in some extra cinematography and adding a bigger emotional impact. Scary but not tooooo scary. They’re in their own cinematic universe with sequels and spin-offs. From what I’ve seen, they’re also pretty popular on YT. If you don’t want paranormal, The Strangers is another really good one, but knowing your fears, you WILL have nightmares, so be advised lol
Chloe just sobbing was such a stun to me.. I've seen people in games cry, but this one was a whole different level. Her walls went down. The strong Chloe we knew crumbled into Max's arms. It was such a powerful moment.. And that totally makes sense with Warren's slate! I forget that some people don't explore as much so it skews the statistics by a lot. Same with Detroit Become Human! I've heard of The Conjuring franchise and love the idea of it being scary but not 'too scary' LOL. I've honestly been worried about the spooky movie time and went from doing 4 to just 2 because I don't think I'll be able to handle filming and editing 4 scary movies hahaha. I think I'll check out The Conjuring for one of them tho, thank you for the suggestion!
I got platinum in the before the storm DLC through using the collection mode, didn’t realise it was on the main game as well until you said! Going to download it again and platinum it using that mode for sure now
Hi Kali, Scary movies: Alien - 1979 Aliens - 1986 Alien 3 - 1992 Alien: Resurrection - 1997. After these Alien movies with the main star Sigourney Weaver, several spin-offs were made. And the Game Alien Isolation - 2014 wich is really well made by the developers as they stayed true to the movie. I can name you allot of scary movies but then this comment section would blow up 😂. But here is another one…… Drag Me to Hell - 2009
Awesome recommendations, thank you! Also sorry for blowing up your notifications lol.. I've been down with a migraine the past couple of days and I'm finally catching up to member comments! 💚
There's no right or wrong, this is just your adventure. If you don't like the ending, you just need to replay the game here and there or watch another ending. I think watching a rare ending could make it even more special.
A lot of people didn't leave a message for Warren because majority of the fandom at that time were shipping Max and Chloe hard. There were heated debates about it in the frist few years of the fandom. I remember them well lol.
1:33:10 "Why do you think that is that a lot of people didn't leave the message?" Those statistics are very misleading. Even people who didn't even notice the slate are being counted as if they deliberately chose not to leave a message.
One nice touch in this game is the photo editing software looks identical to Adobe Lightroom (not Photoshop). It's like Photoshop, but for photo editing instead of illustration. (Dark room, Lightroom, get it?)
For as much as this game's dialogue gets flak sometimes, the Jefferson twist is a fantastic bit of writing. The killer is probably the last one you'd ever expect without it feeling like an ass pull. Lots of clues are there but I've never seen anyone actually call it ahead of time.
I love your vids im excited for next episode also that Watson joke was because of Sherlock Holmes he is a detective and his partner is Watson as for a scary movie suggestion if you havent seen it a "quiet place" or "Happy death day" they are scary but not too scary so i think you will like them
Awesomesauce 🤙 What can I say? The cliffhangers for each chapter get more and more shocking. It's so good. Horror movies I recommend based on a few subgenres: Monster: The Thing Slasher: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Home Invasion: Funny Games Zombie: 28 Days Later Vampire: Let the Right One In (SWE) / Let Me In (U.S. Remake) Psychological: Psycho Supernatural: Ringu (JAP) / The Ring (U.S. Remake) Motherhood: The Bababdook
I also never watched scary movies growing up, but have gotten more into them as I've gotten older; just for the month of October though. You should do some spooky movies for Halloween lol I would recommend The Conjuring 1 & 2. The Ring was also a big scary movie when I was growing up, though it might not have the same pull these days due to the old technology.
Sometimes I feel people have the tendency to choose the most obvious scary movies when given the option to suggest something scary to watch. Me, a horror film enthusiast, will do you a solid and list a few films that range in fear and genre. Luckily this small list does include some of the more obvious choices that anyone would suggest but also some of the less obvious ones. Krampus (2015) - A far more recent film from Director Michael Dougherty. There have been a ton of adaptations of this Horror Christmas legend, but this one in particular is a good little starter horror movie for people that probably don't like being scared. It's not too scary and it's also a good movie to show to kids if they're too young to watch them. In fact, it kinda reminds me of the Goosebumps books/show. Suspiria (2018) - Again, a more recent film and it also just happens to be a remake of an old Italian horror classic. While I could easily have just suggested the original. This particular remake is a pretty good example of how to do a really good remake of a classic while also being it's own thing. This one is definitely one of the more adult supernatural horror films that hits you with some pretty long lasting imagery. Probably not one for kids if they're too young Jacob's Ladder (1990) - This is a more psychological horror movie that when I was growing up, was probably one of the most effective in teaching me how deep and thought provoking horror can be in the hands of the right story teller. It also single handedly helped inspire one of my favorite horror franchises in gaming, "Silent Hill" (it's a shame the games have been crap lately but it's whatever)so Jacob's Ladder has a lasting legacy that people outside of horror rarely mention it. The Fly (1986) - Again, a remake but it is probably my favorite sci-fi horror movies of all time. It is the one movie that got me into genre as a whole (and gore to an extent) so it's definitely not for the feint of heart as it has some truly grotesque imagery that really sticks with you long after the movie is over. The subtext within the story is also something that usually most people miss their first time through, unless you're quick to catch the real life parallels. Would definitely hold off on it until you're up to being subjected to some truly disturbing body horror. There's other movies, but these are the ones that popped into my mind currently and I'm sure some people could suggest something different and their choices would still be some good choices regardless.
Omg did anybody notice in the game when they’re showing mark art when you’re at the school (the outside) all of the pictures are very creepy like bondage pics just girls looking trapped
3:30 "Watson, ..." - "I don't get that joke." Dr. Watson is the assistant and friend of Sherlock Holmes (see the book you recently received). As they are investigating a complicated criminal case here, Max's going for that analogy. 11:35 "Why does it always have to be a basement?" 😁 15:41 So close ... 😂 31:42 And that's where Max should have taken a ton of photos as evidence, in case someone cleans up after them. ... and of course she should have also taken photos at the junkyard and right then called the FBI instead of the local police right then. A bit sad that they let Max, who has proven to be very intelligent, make such a stupid mistake, just leaving without evidence without any real need to leave immediately. Would have needed a bit more story tweaking by the writers to have Max's effort be ineffective or add a reason to run, but it would have been possible. 42:51 "I used to watch a lot of documentaries ... and I had to stop, because just going to the groceries store ... I was always looking over my shoulder wondering, if the person picking up the pasta next to me was a serial killer, I just couldn't get out of that mind set. ... You just never know. ... I had to stop watching those shows." Absolutely, you never know. Serial killers have to eat, too, and they don't necessarily wear their "I'm a serial killer. Run as long as you can." shirt full of tomato sauce stains while picking up their pasta ... very suspicious! 😉"He was such a nice guy always buying pasta and sauce. Never saw him buy any meat though. 😉" Seriously: While it's a good precaution to look where you're going and not to take candy from strangers, it doesn't make sense to live in continuous fear. Binge watching reality horror TV certainly has the potential to get you shaky and paranoid. 48:52 "With great power comes great bullshit." 🤣 Yeah. Love that one. 52:47 "Blackwell would be so much cooler, if we all did that for everybody else... but you're a great start, Max." Imagine how great our school time would have been, if everyone would have been nice, looking out for each other. 53:00 "I also feel like I'm actually at this party right now. The ambience, the music, everyone shouting, the loudspeaker. Like it's sooo much, it's very overstimulating." They totally nailed that. I like the echo of the music like it would be in large swimming hall room, and the strained way people have to talk in conversations to get heard. Really good. 59:14 "... or both." 😂😂 1:15:15 "OMG. There's people doing stuff over here." 😂 1:20:39 "Oh finally a teacher." * insert knowing eyebrow raise here * 1:23:11 "You suck Victoria!" 😂 1:27:25 "It's a trap!" A big one ... 😱 1:28:08 Big reveal. And I'm sure everyone was very surprised there the first time. 1:30:12 "I don't think I've ever had that feeling from a game before were I was so blindsided ..." 1:30:59 "... and now I'm worried that I possibly murdered her, too." You made a good point in Victoria possibly running to / texting Nathan warning him which would have likely raised the danger for you. And you thought Chloe and You had it under control protecting her. It just didn't work out that way. If Victoria believes you depends on certain decisions you made earlier. It might probably have worked in your case. 1:33:08 Message on Warren's slate. "Why do you think it is, that a lot of people didn't leave a message?" I assume many people felt the pressure to get in and out of Nathan's room as quickly as possible (as not every game is forgiving concerning checking out every detail in your own time) and having Nathan's room number from Kate you can go directly there. I appreciate the approach of checking out everything, though ... which also saved Kate's life. 1:33:33 "I'm in shock. ... I'm in the really heavy phase of denial right now. I'm not accepting that Chloe's dead. There's no way." "I did not see that coming." I think no one did in the first play through. "... Replay-ability ..." Oh yes, that knowledge gives you a completely different view on some scenes. .. and I wonder, if you can trace Jefferson's car to the barn while doing the evidence board task. I can't remember, if I tried this at some point. Probably not. -- As you were asking for recommendations of horror movies to react to: Just like you I don't like actual horror movies, but I can recommend you a really good movie that's close to that genre, you could do a movie reaction video of. It's a very sophisticated psychological mystery thriller with enough horror elements for the average viewer. A big warning though: It does contain kinds of abuse and violence you might react strongly to, potentially even including basements ;) no seriously. And it's totally fine, if you don't want that. Talking about: "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" ( www.imdb.com/title/tt1568346/ ). A second more well known psychological thriller: "The Silence of the Lambs" ( www.imdb.com/title/tt0102926/ ). If you'd like to go with one of these, I'd rather go for "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo", because not everyone has seen this n times on TV, which is likely true for the other one.
It's funny because after filming this I started to finally sit down and read some of the books from the Sherlock book I received! I looooove it so far and am wondering how I've made it this far in life without checking them out so far 🤣👀 Thinking about how differently I would play knowing what I know now about Jefferson... really makes me want to boot up the game right away again just to see the dialogue differences! I think I would actually side with David now. Which is saying a lot, as you know. Crazy how different things look after the veil is lifted. Phew! I've heard of The Silence of the Lambs! That would be a great one to check out. Same with The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. The book is supposed to be great! I didn't realize it was a thriller. I'll definitely check it out. Thank you for the recommendations!
@@kaliwali > I think I would actually side with David now. Absolutely, me too (apart from cameras everywhere). > Crazy how different things look after the veil is lifted. I'm sure I was equally speechlessly surprised when Jefferson is revealed, "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" (movie) as far as I know (haven't read the books) is the first book of a trilogy. I wonder, if they put the others on the big screen, too. Actors/acting was so good in that one.
Wow didn't see that coming, wink wink. You really putting your feelings out there makes you a special player. There are so many of us Life Is Strange because this game can hit you like a ton of bricks as you say there aren't many games that can move you/people like the LIS series can. Buckle your seatbelt fokes.
The very first time you meet Mark Jefferson in the game he says "I could trap you in a dark corner and capture you in a moment of desperation"
You have to respect a game that is willing to deal with so many sensitive and/or obscure topics throughout its plot. Imagine how much this encouraged players to exercise reflection and debate this story with their unique perspectives. The title made me shed many tears, but I am grateful for them and the memories I had from this experience.
The Voice acting work in the junkyard scene is so good is because Ashly Burch the VA for Chloe, 2 weeks before doing this scene lost a close friend to a overdose, this was done in one take and Hannah, Max's also lost a close loved one around the same time, the tears the two shed in this are genuine. They were asked if it was better if they rescheduled and they said no, they were also in the same room when shooting the emotional scenes. this scene was actually done in a single take, not a second one was done because it was perfect. as it captured the genuine emotion the two were still processing from their own grief.
And my theory on the deer, the first time you actually see it, it leads you to where Rachels body is and stands over it you just don't know the meaning of it by that point.
My Theory is that Deer was Rachel's spirit animal and Max shares the same spirit animal so that's why she could see it, it was Rachel trying to lead them to her body, and it lowers it's head as if it's sad before it disappears, seeing Chloe breaking down.
Justice for Rachel Amber 😢❤
Apparently my other comment got blocked, because there was a link in it. Just wanted to point out, that Ashly Burch did write about the making of this scene in her blog, and they did indeed multiple readings of that scene. Sadly, her blog doesn't exist anymore. But if you go to her Wikipedia page and search for "The Boy in the Well", you can find the link to the archived version of that article.
She writes about her friend David, how he died, how she felt during that time and how it connected her to Chloe, especially during this scene. It's a very emotional read, and I'm always tearing up, while reading it. It's well written, too.
Also, Ashly was the one who found her partner's body after he died. She said in her blog how playing Chloe allowed her to express her grief, saying that playing Chloe for her was an act of self-care. All the emotion in that scene is real.
You can find it by searching for "The boy in the Well by Ashly Burch"
@@Ladco77 No, she wasn't. Her essay starts with how she remembered the moment when his mother called her to tell her that he's dead.
This episode cemented Life Is Strange as one of my favorite games of all time. The scene after the barn is soooo gut wrenching every damn time no matter how many times I’ve played or watched it. I think it’s the song they chose and Ashley Burch’s performance as Chloe that just sets it over the edge
Ashley Burch is the best.
@@majertibor4412 My thoughts exactly. The only game that ever made me cry
The Jefferson twist was really well done. When I played the game, I didn't see it coming at all. Yes, he was suspicious to me and I had a feeling that something about him was off. But I wouldn't ever expect him to be the one behind it all. I can imagine that the next episode will be very stressful for you. Because it just is.
They did a great job writing the twist. Its well enough hidden that you don't expect it, yet its fairly obvious in hindsight with various statements and behaviors he made. "I could trap you in a dark corner and capture you in a moment of desperation" (almost at the beginning of the game). His interaction with Kate just before she jumps. His general creepy vibes.
So often, late twists are not foreshadowed much, and just feel unnatural. The Jefferson twist was very well done.
At 20:19 was a letter from Nathans Therapist. To explain how he is worried Nathan is not getting the right help, And his parents neglecting his mental state, They took it out of the "remastered" version for some reason
It's probably just a bug, because the letter is still there and looks like an important item, with the pill bottles right aside. Kali was right, when she said, she feels like she should be able to read that.
A shame you can't read it in the remaster. I always loved that letter because the therapist makes it clear that it's impossible for Nathan to improve on his own and tells Sean that he is part of the problem and therefore has to be a part of the solution, and since Sean is unwilling to do that there's nothing the therapist can do for Nathan. Shows that as bad as Nathan is, his problems didn't come from a vacuum.
you playing all the life is strange games will probably be my favourite series from you. I CANT WAIT FOR YOU TO PLAY ALL OF THEM AHHHHH
Remember when i said for Life is Strange:
"That ghost deer is their for a reason?"
That deer it's Rachel Amber 😢😢 because she's there junkyard 😢😢
Justice for Rachel Amber 😢❤
I do! I see it everywhere now, I swear lol
And what did we learn from all this, my dear friends? Never trust your hot teacher with interests in photography and do your therapy even more after this game
I only learnt that Louis Daguerre was a French painter who created "daguerreotypes" a process that gave portraits a sharp reflective style, like a mirror.
"First ones who betray us are the ones we trust" - maria from the last of us.
This game series further confirmed it.
Chloe say " ooh that hot teacher "
Chloe it's dumbass 😮
Chloe say "ooh that hot teacher"
She's dumbass 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
@@LeoPelozo because of this game, this fact replaced "mitochondria is the power house of the cell" in my brain
Pretty crazy huh? I’m so glad no one’s spoiled this for you and I can’t wait for the final episode.
Same, as someone who has played it several times it is cool to see someone else experience it for the first time.
This is the best playthrough of LIS. Your attention to detail, empathy, and smarts makes it seems this game was made for you to play ❤️
Life is strange before the storm is about Cloe and Rachel if you wanna know more about them.
That note in the bunker that you couldn't read must have been glitching, because I definitely remember reading it. From what I recall, it was a note from Nathan's psychiatrist to his parents, basically warning them that he was very ill but that the doctor was no longer going to treat Nathan because he insisted that the parents be involved with Nathan's therapy and that they were refusing to do so.
Classic remaster disaster
@@speedyblacksheriff I'm still not sure how you could have all the hindsight that comes with redoing a game and somehow make it worse. lol
This remaster was purely a cash grab to release along with the extra expensive version of True Colors. A game with this art style has zero need to be remastered. It's like watching cartoons in HD - pointless.
I've actually submitted an error report on this on more than one occasion. You are correct. The letter is from Dr. Jacobi (another Twin Peaks ref) stating exactly that.
This whole segment from the dark room to junkgard always moves me as if it were the first time I was seeing it, imagining all that with the characters that you learned to love and care about just makes everything much worse and seeing Chloe's reaction dps ... it breaks any heart
It has to suck having to stop playing after this episode! I wouldn't be able to go to bed after that cliffhanger.
It's like when you suddenly find that you can't rewind to save Kate. You can't use that power and it hits you in the chest. "I can't do anything!" It makes you feel so helpless.
Kate was bullied to the point of suicide, aka the rooftop.
Do you mean Chlow, who got shot at the end?
This game gets me, I mean, I keeps me at the edge of my seat, even more noticing you're everytime more close to the end! Keep going Kali!
Instead of scary movies I’d like to see you play scary games like Until Dawn, The Quarry, or The Dark Pictures Anthology. Also the stunned silence after the big reveal is the moment I’ve been waiting for after all the theorizing. All that’s left is to see how you choose to end it and I’m excited though I have a feeling I know what you’re going to do
100% until dawn
Telltale's The Walking Dead. Scary, but it's got the strong story too. She'd love Lee and Clementine
I would love to see her play until dawn and the dark pictures anthology, so good!
OMG, I can't wait your playthrough the prequel Life Is Strange: Before The Storm
Watson is Sherlock Holmes reference
THE SEQUENCE AFTER THEY LEAVE THE BARN IS MY FAVORITE MOMENT IN THE ENTIRE GAME IT MAKES ME CRY EVERY TIME
Good Morning Kali…this episode was intense and that barn scene at the beginning still gets to me and couldn’t believe what happened at the end. I’m enjoying your play throughs of the game as well. And I like how you take your time with the game. You look pretty too. Congrats on 21k subs and close to 30k. Here’s to many more and you deserve it. Keep up the amazing work. Can’t wait to watch the next episode. Have a good day today. 👍💯
I remember when I first played this episode, and finding out that Rachel was dead all this time, was so disturbing...
I was so involved in the mystery of her disappearance, that I really thought they were going to find her alive, maybe in the dark room or somewhere else.
it's just sad...
Same. I usually tend to be cynical about this kind of stuff, but for whatever reason (probably all that "Super Max" ego-stroking) I had this weird belief we'd find Rachel alive, just kidnapped and in really bad shape. The discovery hits really hard. Probably because games don't usually go there. It pulls no punches
@@robchuk4136 exactly! I remember not feeling scared at all cause I really thought everything would work out to be ok in the end. the choices never scared me, too. I would think like "it doesn't matter, I can always rewind..." and then Max loses her power and Chloe is dead... like, there's no turning back from that. and Rachel too. max can't go back that far.
I really don't like Victoria, but I thought it was worth warning her. Nobody deserves to have to go through that, so if there's the slightest chance I can prevent it, I'll take it. I do understand your concerns about that potentially leading to worse outcomes tho, but imo, the worst potential outcome was Victoria ending up as a victim.
Rewinding time is a crucial element/mechanic of this game. If you ever feel like a certain decision doesn't sit right with you, you have the ability to reverse the decision. You can always see how a certain decision plays out before making up your mind.
Enjoying the playthrough, looking forward to the next one!
This episode wrecked me.When I first saw Jefferson's face I was genuinely shocked I did not expect him to be behind all of this . He was playing good teacher all along but deep down he was always a sick pieceofshit. Also I still cry watching the junkyard scene specially after playing before the storm 😪
A real mind-blowing twist to the ending, eh Kali?
...I'll see myself out, lol.
Fun fact at the end of the credits, it says thanks for playing, but in episode 4, it says thanks for crying...
I would like to congratulate everyone for getting this far without giving any spoilers.
As I said in the previous episode. Episode 4 really has it all in terms of twist and turns and emotions.
Hello Chloe! Are you alive? I'm really glad. 🙂
Justin in the vortex club toilet said:
"Maximum Overdrive"
Wich is a Stephen King story and movie.
Allot of Machines have their own mind in that movie. With music of
AC/DC
I need to watch more Stephen King movies! Especially if it has AC/DC music lol
1:27:53 the focus on her neckless.
she died three times with a bullet.
when Nathan shot her in the bathroom.
when she shot herself in the junkyard.
and now, with Mr. Jefferson
and she died next to Rachel too 😭
wow, awesome awesome detail! thank you for pointing this out!
One thing a lot of players don't know is that you can actually control time. You can select all the dialogue options you want without consequences, so please explore them and make a decision if you are not sure
Not a movie, but ‘scary’ tv series; The Haunting of Hill House. Only 8 episodes. 10/10!
Amazing characters, plot, and direction. Not the normal ‘tropey’ pointless jumpscare, terrible plot, bland characters that most of the horror genre suffers from.
It's the one show i wanted to recommend as well. Haunting of hill house and all of the other flanagans work is amazing. It's a perfect fit for kali i think.
The note around 20 minutes in is bugged in the remastered version. It's a letter from nathans psychologist telling his parents that he's worried about nathans slipping and that the parents allows it.
I remember that when I played this game, when I got to Rachel's discovery, I had this feeling of irreality... the narrative got here so perfectly that I reacted like I would have in real life. I couldn't believe it. I felt something moving inside.
So glad you weren't spoiled on this finale on this episode!
A lot of people didn't leave a message on Warren's slate because a lot of people don't explore very well with games like this (which is crazy to me).
Partly that, but there's also a fair-sized contingent of players who just don't like Warren.
I'm surprised you didn't get the "Watson" reference at the start after getting that Sherlock Holmes book! How did you enjoy your first Holmes story?
It’s such a gut punch of a finale that. I was trying in vain to use the rewind like you and then just sitting stunned for I don’t know how long, crying. The truth about Rachel and I think we all suspected but just pushed it out of our minds because, no way would a game do this to us.
Understand your feelings about not continuing. Tougher times are ahead , however the game is worth seeing until the end. I hope nobody spoils anything.
I would like to add my wishes for you to play the new version of Until Dawn that’s coming soon. The original is a phenomenal interactive story with a spooky vibe for Halloween themed content.
I'm loving your playthrough! I really, really hope you go on to play Life is Strange: Before the Storm as soon as you're done with LiS1.
39:08 - "... Nathan's first victim, maybe it went a little bit sideways..." Your insight is spot on.
1:00:20 - Yeah, there's a way to take a picture of the two moons during the pool scene like you suspected. You just have to get the angle exactly right.
1:26:34 - I have never noticed that you can see the lighthouse lit up during the nighttime junkyard scene.
1:32:12 - Other commenters were correct. Trying to get "the Frank conversation" correct on your very first try is insanely difficult. It's actually kind of funny when most players get it repeatedly wrong, for reasons I won't mention in case they're a spoiler.
1:33:15 - Most people probably miss Warren's slate, which is why the percentage of people who changed it is very low.
One last mention, the first time you see the spirit doe in the junkyard in episode 2, it's standing directly over Rachel's grave. Many people use this to suspect that the doe is supposed to be Rachel's spirit animal, but I suspect it's actually Max's, attempting to lead her to what she's looking for.
This game brings up so many emotions both positive and negative and you're doing an amazing job.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Nathan’s father was or isn’t behind this. I can see him being involved in purchasing the bunker, but anything else I assume would have to be Nathan’s doing if not Jefferson since he is a famous photographer and that does open a lot of doors for him.
One of the wildest twist in gaming history
Omg congrats on figuring out you needed to rewind to get the motor back up so fast! Most people forget they have rewind powers again here and get super confused
The really…cool? huh, doesn’t feel quite appropriate. The really interesting part about the twist at the end of the chapter is that they laid down hints about the twist in the very beginning of Episode 1. You-know-who says some really really messed up things in that first classroom sequence. "I could frame any of you in a dark corner and capture you in a moment of desperation. But wouldn't that be too easy?"
He also, and I wouldn’t have noticed this if not for another let’s play channel, positions himself in class in a way that, given the twist, is creepy. All the “traditionally attractive” girls are seated so that he’s facing them. Victoria, Taylor, Max, Stella, Kate, etc. All the guys (and the one girl that isn’t ’conventionally attractive’, Alyssa) are seated so he has his back to them. Not worth his notice, I suppose.
Think back as well to the showcase of his work on the quad. All the photographs fit a similar theme, and that theme is similar to the themes you see in the photographs of Kate & Rachel in the bunker.
And speaking of Kate, I think you picked up on this, but think about Episode 2 when Kate is talking to him before class. He’s very rude to her there. Then he says she was asking for it, brought it on herself, what have you.
I absolutely love the twist and how they laid out clues that, in hindsight, are very clear but at the time seem relatively innocuous.
I'll end this comment edit by pointing out that there was a gap between Rachel's disappearance and the girl who disappeared most recently before her. This gap lines up with Jefferson's time in New York City. I'd be willing to bet that there were girls who went missing there during that time and that the disappearances stop when he came back to Oregon to teach at Blackwell.
So happy this came out 😍😍 Just started watching and it's already made my day. Thank you, Kali 💙
Regarding leaving Warren a message: the issue is that the location is somewhat out of the way. Unless you are actively trying to find everything, you are likely to go into Nathan's room before you reach Warren's room, and end up not going to Warren's board at all.
For Chloe's request: right-to-die laws have around an 80%-90% public support in some form. Around 50%-60% say active assistance is warranted when their is no hope of improvement, while close to 90% say refusal of treatment is moral. Overall, the fact that 67% accepted Chloe's request is not all that surprising to me.
I suspect most players shipped Max and Chloe, so poor Warren was 'persona non grata' as they say
That makes a lot of sense! I guess I didn't feel rushed in this moment just because I didn't pick up any 'you'll fail this moment if you don't rush' vibes from the game so far. I'm glad that was true though, because I would have failed otherwise 🤣
And seeing those statistics definitely makes more sense that more would opt to go for Chloe's request. This is one of those situations where you wouldn't understand unless you're in those shoes.. They are hard shoes to be in.
At the end of the credits of this episode it says "Thanks for crying" instead of "Thanks for playing", which I guess kind of sums up this episode
Not in the remaster, because there are no credits. Kinda kills the mood and gives you no time for processing such a massive twist like in this episode. I really don't know what they were thinking over at Deck Nine.
@@Riddler0603 Awe damn, well that's a bummer.
😢 oh man this episode was crazy. Excited for the next episode. Love your play throughs 🙌
One of my favorite scary movies is "The Others", starring Nicole Kidman. It's a bit more of a suspense than outright "scary" horror film (it's listed as being in the "psychological horror" genre, according to Google, which I'd say is accurate) but it's got a pretty unique and twisty story, and is a good stepping stone to other more scary and recent fan-favorite horror films like "The Conjuring".
Hi Kali, Here is a tip for if you play this game again or other Life is Strange games. What i did when i played all of them, is take for every page that you get at the end of the episodes a picture for the answers you chose then. 👍🏽
Oooo good idea!
So sad of what happened can’t wait till THE FINALE! Shocking I never thought it was Mr. Jefferson there were some weird things about him but I never knew .. he would do that!
If you read the credits after the end of each episode, they end with "Thanks for Playing." Except this episode. It ends with "Thanks for Crying."
Yeah pretty sure I had the same reaction when I played. Didn't see the twist coming at all. Very interested in seeing what you do in the final episode. Idk how you go the next day or so without playing. I had to dive right into the next one after that cliffhanger. Thanks for another great episode Kali.
Scary Movie recommendations:
1) John Carpenter's "The Thing"
2) The 70's version of "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" with Donald Sutherland
3) Session 9
There are many more, but those are three of my favorites!
I'm surprised you don't know who "Watson" is. Dr. Watson is the assistant to Sherlock Holmes.
To answer your question about Warren's slate - a lot of people miss it and a lot of people don't go down the path of having Max and Warren being close (I did go down that path)
About accepting Chloe's request, there's a lot to unpack, but I think she's saying it pretty well. She has made her decision, and her handicap is just preventing her to do it herself. If she could, she would've. The fact that she doesn't have the physical ability to do it shouldn't prevent her to make that decision, she's asking for help, and I just see that as being there for my friend. I she was hungry, I would've brought her something to eat, it would be pretty selfish to say "no, I don't want you to eat" and profit from the fact that she actually can't herself to impose my will on her.
in addition, if you chose to refuse, she does tell you that she already talked about it to her parents and that they won't respect her will. It's kinda like people not respecting other people wishes about how their body should be disposed off once they're dead. The dead person can't do anything about it, but I think it still should be their decision.
Not saying I would be happy to do it irl if a friend asked me, but in a similar situation, I think I would... It would hurt like hell to do it, but still.
She was dying, but she didn't want a long, painful, drown out death.
16:38 Superhero landing )
Loving these. Hope you play through the entire series.
I really enjoyed listening to your thought process behind the decision on if you should warn Victoria. I think for most, the decision is very black and white, and those who choose not to warn her, see it as "Oh I hate Victoria, I don't care what happens to her, F her, I won't warn her". Which is why it ends up the heavy minority decision. But you took it so many steps deeper. Considering how much danger is she actually in considering what Max and Chloe are doing, and if you put the main mission of finding Nathan at risk by warning her. All of that extra insight has always made your playthroughs so engaging to watch! As you've seen, all the decisions in this game are very nuanced and aren't straight up right or wrong, so we'll just have to wait and see how the next chapter plays out
For sure! Sometimes it's better to keep those in danger out of the know in the moment because it could be their life on the line. I love the decisions in this game because I feel like they have pros/cons either way. I love Mass Effect, but it was easier to make some decisions because they did make it very black and white. But this game has so many shades of grey which makes it a great story and adds so much depth to the characters too!
Between the bathroom shooting, the ricochet bullet, the train, the car wreck, and now this, the universe really seems to want Chloe Price dead.
cant wait for the next episode, i was waiting for you to finally get to this one too!!
"I told you to submit your photo, Max."
The scene with finding Rachel is still one of the hardest hitting scenes for me emotionally in a game I’ve played, and I think most of it is just how good and well executed the music and voice acting is during all of it. You put together all the clues along with Nathan’s own profile sooooo well, predicting what was really happening in the bunker. I don’t think anyone on their first time tho is ready for who the real villain down there is
I think for Warren's slate, the % for not writing on it is inflated a little higher by all the people who went straight to Nathan's room and didn't interact with it. Even for me, for as thoroughly as I explored when I played, I remember somehow missing it. Which is sad, bc it's such an endearing message Max puts on there
For scary movies, I can recommend The Conjuring franchise! They’re the ones I got my start on watching modern horror films, and compared to many others, they do a really good job at bringing in some extra cinematography and adding a bigger emotional impact. Scary but not tooooo scary. They’re in their own cinematic universe with sequels and spin-offs. From what I’ve seen, they’re also pretty popular on YT. If you don’t want paranormal, The Strangers is another really good one, but knowing your fears, you WILL have nightmares, so be advised lol
Chloe just sobbing was such a stun to me.. I've seen people in games cry, but this one was a whole different level. Her walls went down. The strong Chloe we knew crumbled into Max's arms. It was such a powerful moment..
And that totally makes sense with Warren's slate! I forget that some people don't explore as much so it skews the statistics by a lot. Same with Detroit Become Human!
I've heard of The Conjuring franchise and love the idea of it being scary but not 'too scary' LOL. I've honestly been worried about the spooky movie time and went from doing 4 to just 2 because I don't think I'll be able to handle filming and editing 4 scary movies hahaha. I think I'll check out The Conjuring for one of them tho, thank you for the suggestion!
“And after I apologized to you the other day.”
You also followed that up with further insults, Victoria.
Victoria it's Queen bitch but next episode 😱
The Ring and Silent Hill is my go to scary movie to recommend for my friends
Btw you would’ve had a better heart felt apology from Victoria if you complimented her talent and told her the truth about dark room
Nightmare on Elm street is a must watch for horror movies, the original obviously.
I got platinum in the before the storm DLC through using the collection mode, didn’t realise it was on the main game as well until you said! Going to download it again and platinum it using that mode for sure now
CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT EPISODE AAAAA
Hi Kali, Scary movies: Alien - 1979
Aliens - 1986
Alien 3 - 1992
Alien: Resurrection - 1997. After these Alien movies with the main star Sigourney Weaver, several spin-offs were made. And the Game Alien Isolation - 2014 wich is really well made by the developers as they stayed true to the movie.
I can name you allot of scary movies but then this comment section would blow up 😂.
But here is another one……
Drag Me to Hell - 2009
Awesome recommendations, thank you!
Also sorry for blowing up your notifications lol.. I've been down with a migraine the past couple of days and I'm finally catching up to member comments! 💚
There's no right or wrong, this is just your adventure. If you don't like the ending, you just need to replay the game here and there or watch another ending. I think watching a rare ending could make it even more special.
1:33:14 It's because most players miss it, so it affects statistics like this one
A lot of people didn't leave a message for Warren because majority of the fandom at that time were shipping Max and Chloe hard. There were heated debates about it in the frist few years of the fandom. I remember them well lol.
1:33:10 "Why do you think that is that a lot of people didn't leave the message?"
Those statistics are very misleading. Even people who didn't even notice the slate are being counted as if they deliberately chose not to leave a message.
1:25:12 you read it wrong lmao. look at the wall again "rachel IS here"
One nice touch in this game is the photo editing software looks identical to Adobe Lightroom (not Photoshop). It's like Photoshop, but for photo editing instead of illustration. (Dark room, Lightroom, get it?)
For as much as this game's dialogue gets flak sometimes, the Jefferson twist is a fantastic bit of writing. The killer is probably the last one you'd ever expect without it feeling like an ass pull. Lots of clues are there but I've never seen anyone actually call it ahead of time.
I love your vids im excited for next episode also that Watson joke was because of Sherlock Holmes he is a detective and his partner is Watson as for a scary movie suggestion if you havent seen it a "quiet place" or "Happy death day" they are scary but not too scary so i think you will like them
Popcorn ready!
Some beer and snacks ready!
Watson is Sherlock Holmes' sidekick. Dr. Watson. =)
Awesomesauce 🤙 What can I say? The cliffhangers for each chapter get more and more shocking. It's so good.
Horror movies I recommend based on a few subgenres:
Monster: The Thing
Slasher: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Home Invasion: Funny Games
Zombie: 28 Days Later
Vampire: Let the Right One In (SWE) / Let Me In (U.S. Remake)
Psychological: Psycho
Supernatural: Ringu (JAP) / The Ring (U.S. Remake)
Motherhood: The Bababdook
2 horror movies I recommend are Annihilation & The Thing (1982). They are both lovecraftian/cosmic horror
I also never watched scary movies growing up, but have gotten more into them as I've gotten older; just for the month of October though. You should do some spooky movies for Halloween lol
I would recommend The Conjuring 1 & 2. The Ring was also a big scary movie when I was growing up, though it might not have the same pull these days due to the old technology.
29:33 Nathan here reminds me of Seth Briars from RDR1
I knew it would be Jefferson...he's too good to everyone from the beginning
I must admit, that alert at the beginning was not quite the one I was looking for...and certainly not the one I was _hoping_ for.
3:33
Watson is a Sherlock Holmes reference
Can't wait for you to play all Life is Strange games, you'll enjoy them 😇
Sometimes I feel people have the tendency to choose the most obvious scary movies when given the option to suggest something scary to watch. Me, a horror film enthusiast, will do you a solid and list a few films that range in fear and genre. Luckily this small list does include some of the more obvious choices that anyone would suggest but also some of the less obvious ones.
Krampus (2015) - A far more recent film from Director Michael Dougherty. There have been a ton of adaptations of this Horror Christmas legend, but this one in particular is a good little starter horror movie for people that probably don't like being scared. It's not too scary and it's also a good movie to show to kids if they're too young to watch them. In fact, it kinda reminds me of the Goosebumps books/show.
Suspiria (2018) - Again, a more recent film and it also just happens to be a remake of an old Italian horror classic. While I could easily have just suggested the original. This particular remake is a pretty good example of how to do a really good remake of a classic while also being it's own thing. This one is definitely one of the more adult supernatural horror films that hits you with some pretty long lasting imagery. Probably not one for kids if they're too young
Jacob's Ladder (1990) - This is a more psychological horror movie that when I was growing up, was probably one of the most effective in teaching me how deep and thought provoking horror can be in the hands of the right story teller. It also single handedly helped inspire one of my favorite horror franchises in gaming, "Silent Hill" (it's a shame the games have been crap lately but it's whatever)so Jacob's Ladder has a lasting legacy that people outside of horror rarely mention it.
The Fly (1986) - Again, a remake but it is probably my favorite sci-fi horror movies of all time. It is the one movie that got me into genre as a whole (and gore to an extent) so it's definitely not for the feint of heart as it has some truly grotesque imagery that really sticks with you long after the movie is over. The subtext within the story is also something that usually most people miss their first time through, unless you're quick to catch the real life parallels. Would definitely hold off on it until you're up to being subjected to some truly disturbing body horror.
There's other movies, but these are the ones that popped into my mind currently and I'm sure some people could suggest something different and their choices would still be some good choices regardless.
You missed out on a genuine moment with Victoria if you chose to warn her about the dark room. She would’ve believed you.
I can't wait to see your reaction to the ending. This game could be your nemesis (I hope for the right reasons).
I expected this to happen when it apparently did not give you the option to put the binders away.
Omg did anybody notice in the game when they’re showing mark art when you’re at the school (the outside) all of the pictures are very creepy like bondage pics just girls looking trapped

Kaliwali Awesome Video Today!!🔥🐐🐐💎
3:30 "Watson, ..." - "I don't get that joke." Dr. Watson is the assistant and friend of Sherlock Holmes (see the book you recently received). As they are investigating a complicated criminal case here, Max's going for that analogy.
11:35 "Why does it always have to be a basement?" 😁
15:41 So close ... 😂
31:42 And that's where Max should have taken a ton of photos as evidence, in case someone cleans up after them. ... and of course she should have also taken photos at the junkyard and right then called the FBI instead of the local police right then. A bit sad that they let Max, who has proven to be very intelligent, make such a stupid mistake, just leaving without evidence without any real need to leave immediately. Would have needed a bit more story tweaking by the writers to have Max's effort be ineffective or add a reason to run, but it would have been possible.
42:51 "I used to watch a lot of documentaries ... and I had to stop, because just going to the groceries store ... I was always looking over my shoulder wondering, if the person picking up the pasta next to me was a serial killer, I just couldn't get out of that mind set. ... You just never know. ... I had to stop watching those shows."
Absolutely, you never know. Serial killers have to eat, too, and they don't necessarily wear their "I'm a serial killer. Run as long as you can." shirt full of tomato sauce stains while picking up their pasta ... very suspicious! 😉"He was such a nice guy always buying pasta and sauce. Never saw him buy any meat though. 😉"
Seriously: While it's a good precaution to look where you're going and not to take candy from strangers, it doesn't make sense to live in continuous fear. Binge watching reality horror TV certainly has the potential to get you shaky and paranoid.
48:52 "With great power comes great bullshit." 🤣 Yeah. Love that one.
52:47 "Blackwell would be so much cooler, if we all did that for everybody else... but you're a great start, Max." Imagine how great our school time would have been, if everyone would have been nice, looking out for each other.
53:00 "I also feel like I'm actually at this party right now. The ambience, the music, everyone shouting, the loudspeaker. Like it's sooo much, it's very overstimulating." They totally nailed that. I like the echo of the music like it would be in large swimming hall room, and the strained way people have to talk in conversations to get heard. Really good.
59:14 "... or both." 😂😂
1:15:15 "OMG. There's people doing stuff over here." 😂
1:20:39 "Oh finally a teacher." * insert knowing eyebrow raise here *
1:23:11 "You suck Victoria!" 😂
1:27:25 "It's a trap!" A big one ... 😱
1:28:08 Big reveal. And I'm sure everyone was very surprised there the first time.
1:30:12 "I don't think I've ever had that feeling from a game before were I was so blindsided ..."
1:30:59 "... and now I'm worried that I possibly murdered her, too." You made a good point in Victoria possibly running to / texting Nathan warning him which would have likely raised the danger for you. And you thought Chloe and You had it under control protecting her. It just didn't work out that way. If Victoria believes you depends on certain decisions you made earlier. It might probably have worked in your case.
1:33:08 Message on Warren's slate. "Why do you think it is, that a lot of people didn't leave a message?" I assume many people felt the pressure to get in and out of Nathan's room as quickly as possible (as not every game is forgiving concerning checking out every detail in your own time) and having Nathan's room number from Kate you can go directly there. I appreciate the approach of checking out everything, though ... which also saved Kate's life.
1:33:33 "I'm in shock. ... I'm in the really heavy phase of denial right now. I'm not accepting that Chloe's dead. There's no way."
"I did not see that coming." I think no one did in the first play through.
"... Replay-ability ..." Oh yes, that knowledge gives you a completely different view on some scenes. .. and I wonder, if you can trace Jefferson's car to the barn while doing the evidence board task. I can't remember, if I tried this at some point. Probably not.

As you were asking for recommendations of horror movies to react to:
Just like you I don't like actual horror movies, but I can recommend you a really good movie that's close to that genre, you could do a movie reaction video of. It's a very sophisticated psychological mystery thriller with enough horror elements for the average viewer. A big warning though: It does contain kinds of abuse and violence you might react strongly to, potentially even including basements ;) no seriously. And it's totally fine, if you don't want that. Talking about: "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" ( www.imdb.com/title/tt1568346/ ).
A second more well known psychological thriller: "The Silence of the Lambs" ( www.imdb.com/title/tt0102926/ ).
If you'd like to go with one of these, I'd rather go for "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo", because not everyone has seen this n times on TV, which is likely true for the other one.
It's funny because after filming this I started to finally sit down and read some of the books from the Sherlock book I received! I looooove it so far and am wondering how I've made it this far in life without checking them out so far 🤣👀
Thinking about how differently I would play knowing what I know now about Jefferson... really makes me want to boot up the game right away again just to see the dialogue differences! I think I would actually side with David now. Which is saying a lot, as you know. Crazy how different things look after the veil is lifted. Phew!
I've heard of The Silence of the Lambs! That would be a great one to check out. Same with The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. The book is supposed to be great! I didn't realize it was a thriller. I'll definitely check it out. Thank you for the recommendations!

> I think I would actually side with David now.
Absolutely, me too (apart from cameras everywhere).
> Crazy how different things look after the veil is lifted.
I'm sure I was equally speechlessly surprised when Jefferson is revealed,
"The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" (movie) as far as I know (haven't read the books) is the first book of a trilogy. I wonder, if they put the others on the big screen, too. Actors/acting was so good in that one.
Wow didn't see that coming, wink wink. You really putting your feelings out there makes you a special player. There are so many of us Life Is Strange because this game can hit you like a ton of bricks as you say there aren't many games that can move you/people like the LIS series can. Buckle your seatbelt fokes.
good luck next episode kali😭😭😭
