It's funny that Chloe reffers to Rachel as her guardian angel here when in episode 1 of Life is Strange, the first time Max asks about Rachel, the first thing Chloe says about her is "She was my angel". The feels.
Sad you guys didn't do the extra bits in the table top game. You missed Chloe going off into an elogated threat to an enemy and Steph looking equally afraid and aroused. Lol
It makes my stomach turn when he calls Nathan twitch. I have Tourettes and it makes you so self aware and paranoid all the time, especially when people point out when you twitch or comment on it. I really hate Nathan but I can relate to that feeling of not being in total control of yourself.
Ikr! Sometimes it feels like Mari is just picking on Max because she's shy. I'm guessing Chloe is more similar to Mari and sometimes it feels like she's more likely to defend people more similar to herself? Also on a similar note I've noticed that sometimes Mari and Stacy make fun of people who are more awkward and nerdier than them, even though this is supposedly a geek channel. Idk I enjoy geek remix but I always end up taking extended breaks from this channel because I start to notice little things like this that irritate me
Have you noticed (probably yes) that the third episode of Before The Storm is called "Hell is empty" which is a reference to the Shakespeare's phrase "Hell is empty. All the demons are here"
I really love how Chloe is told that it is better to die as a hero than to live as a coward because it fits into her wanting to sacrifice herself to stop Arcadia Bay from being destroyed in a storm...or a tempest, if you would. XD
and if you listen to Pisshead's song and encourage Skip stuff really turns around for him. In episode 2 he's kind to Chloe when she's leaving school and later on when she's in the junkyard you can find a radio and turn it on and hear their song being played.
Fuck that, girl is a dungeon master, I need to find a magical fairy to be turned into a girl so I can date her. They are not that butch, maybe a lil tomboyish but that's still cute.
I've watched the first 3 around 6 am and then the 4th came out right away and I was so happy lol... i haven't watched a let's play series in 5 years! anyway love you're videos and you guys and can't wait till the next episode!
This was such a good episode for the lp! The commentary was A+ and the game was really nice to watch from the D&D to the Rachel Amber flirting scenes :)
I love how you aren't pulling any punches with how Chloe is obviously better than Max, Mari. Not like I hate max, but I get a little fed up with people thinking she can do no evil lol
I feel like because Ive been in theatre and performance basically my whole life, I've always been chill with changing in front of people, male female or anyone in general.
UGH I LOVE this game, the literary allusions make the messages in the game so much more powerful and interactive in a way. I only read Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf after watching this and wow
Calling it: Samantha will be Jefferson's first victim, if not one of the first. She is innocent like he likes, I need to search her name on a red binder among his other creepy red binders.
Thomas Levy I don't think we'll even see Jefferson. The time him and Chloe meet in the original game seems to indicate they never saw each other before. I do have a theory, though, that Chloe will get expelled over the course of this game and as she leaves the school in anger, we'll see him get in. Kinda like an easter egg, you know? I think that's what will happen!
Maybe, cause I didn't saw Samantha's name on one of his red binders. I just find it oddly specific to have a character like Samantha on a series that features a creepy guy who likes girls like Samantha.
My theory: rachel amber is actually the fire resistant boss at the end of that nerdy rpg Chloe is playing. At the end of the episode in a dream, rachel is on fire while not feeling a thing, kinda similar to the fire resistance bracelet on that boss. Also her last name is amber
It's weird that so many people say that the voice actor of Chloe sounds very different, but nobody seems to complain about David, Joyce, Justin, Evan & many more having different voice actors too! I'm not 100% sure but it totally sounds like it!
The table top game was my favorite in this episode. Given how high the bar was set by the first game, finding something to add was hard - but this mini game felled awesome. Part of it was the camera work, part of it the voice acting, setting, ... well: It was just so well made and "in character".
omg the tempest is the BEST shakespeare play, had to do it for school but knowing every connotation and how it relates to life is strange's plot is incredible :')
Aw does Samantha crush on Natahan and I know what Nathan does but this just makes me feel for him more. He seems to get picked on alot at home from his dad and at school cuz of his family. I never dealt with his issues before but I'm sure it's stressful feeling like you cant defend yourself cuz your medical problems basing off the guy bringing up his ticks
Cpn. Beartato I have a sad feeling that she will become one of Jeffersons's victims (in the future of course), probably coerced and tricked via her crush on Nathan.
29:43 Defending my old pal the Bard. Some argue The Tempest was the last one Shakespeare wrote. A magical dude named Prospero conjures up a sea storm that maroons people on his private island so he can manipulate them into returning his daughter to her rightful place in society. It's got sorcery and romance and betrayal and all kinds of great stuff. If you've never seen a Shakespeare play before, that's as good a place as any to start.
"The Tempest" is also mentioned in the game "Fahrenheid" (2005), Lucas Cane (the main character) reads it before he got victim of that kinda Aztek whatever guy.
lol i was playing mass Effect 3 and decided "i'll be gay with Kaiden" and like 10 minutes later he dies... because I shot him... on purpose... i thought i would have shot him in the leg and he would forgive me... NOPE he was dead lol
Aww, I'm sad you skipped Skip. His music is cool. Also, I am sooo into shipping Steph and Chloe. You were right about the doing favors part cos I've read that the first step to brainwashing is the making the person say yes to you even in small things.
More themes of The Tempest include nature vs humanity, bad siblings and revenge vs forgiveness, and what makes someone a human or a monster (among other things). (I'm a theatre nerd)
This is probably just an over site on the Devs part, but when Chloe Graffitis she uses the marker in her right hand, but when she signed Evan's petition she used the pen with her left hand. So either she's ambidextrous, or the devs didn't pay attention.
I remembered playing D&D once and a few people in my party started a whole argument about when tacos were made because one person wanted to make them in the game. Also critical fail twice with a bow resulting in two arrows coming back around and hitting right back into each of my legs (Worst Ranger Ever).
This game isn't just about Chloe Price falling in love with Rachel Amber. This game is about US falling in love with Rachel Amber. And its working. It's really working.
Okay, so how you guys said that a way to develope a bond is by having a person do small favors for you. It deadass reminded me of a guy i used to work with, i don't work there anymore, so I was new and I could tell that he thoguth i was hot since he stared at me from across the room for a solid chunk of time to an uncomfortable point, but i didn't know anyone so when he started to be friend me i was like "okay, ill just try and send him friends only messages" but he was still weird, like we never had one conversation but then i was just in the break room listening to a guy talk then he cracks an offensive style joke then just turns his attention to me and does a weird smile, for an uncomfortable time again (red flags i know), but I was like okay i need to befriend people, so i was like talking to him and then i mentioned that I write books and stuff, but i never get around to finishing them because of school, theatre, work, and my all around procrastionation. But this guy then is like write a chapter a day, tahst what my teacher says, i remind him i don't have the physical time for that and then he still insists, then once its gets through his head that i cant do it he raves about how it works for him. And then later he comes over and asks me where I write my books, i thought it was an odd question but i said google docs, and he asks if he wants him to be a beta reader for stories, i only let super close people who i trust with reading my stuff, and its always the same five people, so i tell him no, he keeps pestering me but i still say no. He leaves and later im thinking if maybe i should let him to try ad get a different prospective, but i didn't even fucking decided and then he comes over and asks "How do you want to share the doc?" and I say "I don't, your not reading my book" and he's like okay. and thats just one of the creepy ass favors he tried to do for me, he kept trying to do favors and i told him no until i just stopped talking to him and told him he was creeping me the fuck out and needed to leave me alone, but then he was an asshole to me on that shift and withheld information that i needed to do my job so I had to go around and asks other for find other people on his crew to tell me, like that whole favor thing is fucked up and manipulative fuck that.
**grabs belt**
"Okay, now choke me with it." - Mari 2k17
" I'm trying something new"
Damn, Rachel's good at this. No wonder Chloe fell head over heels for her.
AdieMs Right! Even my ads was like, "Wow, Rachel has game." I was all twitterpated trying to finish the scene interaction.
that D&D game session is probably the most innocent and upbeat moment in the whole Life is Strange story.
"Chloe can't even live in Dungeons and Dragons" OMFG RIGHT
It's funny that Chloe reffers to Rachel as her guardian angel here when in episode 1 of Life is Strange, the first time Max asks about Rachel, the first thing Chloe says about her is "She was my angel". The feels.
I can physically feel Chloe's crush on Rachel, it's that hard.
I can't watch anyone else play this because they don't search like you guys 💜
Tamia Gaffney same here
Tamia Bryanna except they missed skip and didnt get on the stage to talk shit to mr jeff lol
@@freshtodeath377 Wells you mean?
Sad you guys didn't do the extra bits in the table top game. You missed Chloe going off into an elogated threat to an enemy and Steph looking equally afraid and aroused. Lol
The amount of gay is overwhelming. 10/10.
If you notice Steph, has fire on her beanie and a raven necklace, possibly means something? Is she the raven king?
nice catch!
It's a dragon necklace though
sorry it looked like a raven to me, still the imagery is there
that's what LiS does to us, it makes us see stuff that's not even there lol
Mari ruined us with all those theories
Roman Barna nailed it! And she uses fire to destroy the white walkers!!
You didn't talk to Skip! 0/10 lets play ruined!
It makes my stomach turn when he calls Nathan twitch. I have Tourettes and it makes you so self aware and paranoid all the time, especially when people point out when you twitch or comment on it. I really hate Nathan but I can relate to that feeling of not being in total control of yourself.
"Chloe is better than Max"
It isn't a competition lol
TheRandomGuy I know right?
TheRandomGuy I think Chloe is way more interesting and compelling l, BUT I relate more to Max
Ikr! Sometimes it feels like Mari is just picking on Max because she's shy. I'm guessing Chloe is more similar to Mari and sometimes it feels like she's more likely to defend people more similar to herself? Also on a similar note I've noticed that sometimes Mari and Stacy make fun of people who are more awkward and nerdier than them, even though this is supposedly a geek channel. Idk I enjoy geek remix but I always end up taking extended breaks from this channel because I start to notice little things like this that irritate me
Rachel has the biggest "do me" eyes
Have you noticed (probably yes) that the third episode of Before The Storm is called "Hell is empty" which is a reference to the Shakespeare's phrase "Hell is empty. All the demons are here"
'Better to have died a hero, than live as a coward' - this made me sad knowing the end choice of the first game.
the dead cannot disagree..
Chloe deserved better. So did Callamastia
I really love how Chloe is told that it is better to die as a hero than to live as a coward because it fits into her wanting to sacrifice herself to stop Arcadia Bay from being destroyed in a storm...or a tempest, if you would. XD
The Tabletop game was probably my favorite part of the episode.
you skipped the surveillance guy lol
mehdigeek yup, she skipped skip. Hehe
We the people See The Truth a lot of people skip Skip lol. I didn't know he existed until I played the game myself last night!
Skip is honestly such a chill dude. Pretty great mixtape lol
and if you listen to Pisshead's song and encourage Skip stuff really turns around for him.
In episode 2 he's kind to Chloe when she's leaving school and later on when she's in the junkyard you can find a radio and turn it on and hear their song being played.
dweeb nathan reminds me of randall from monsters inc/uni lmao
LOL WTF same thing popped up in my mind before i saw this comment
You keep making me mess up my drawing with laughter. God I need to play DnD one day.
I'm a huge fucking D&D nerd, so this episode was HEAVEN.
cant believe yall ignored skip like this, poor dude :'(
THIS TEEN FLIRTING IS FULFILLING ALL OF MY DREAMS IM SO HAPPY
Is it odd that I kinda think Steph and Chloe would be cute together?
Just me?
Pixelijah Oh my gosh I thought the same thing. Steph is adorable. 💕
They're both too butch.
Two butch girls can be together and rock it.
Fuck that, girl is a dungeon master, I need to find a magical fairy to be turned into a girl so I can date her. They are not that butch, maybe a lil tomboyish but that's still cute.
I love Steph so I'm hooking Chloe and Rachel together. Steph must marry me *dramatically throws back of hand over my forehead*
Isn't the tempest about a massive storm on an island? Kind of foreshadowing for Life is Strange
THANKS FOR THE UPLOADS TODAY
(love you guys)
The character Rachel plays has the ability to control the weather so... That's a thing.
Drama is Life? More like Life is Drama aaaaaand roll credits!
I've watched the first 3 around 6 am and then the 4th came out right away and I was so happy lol... i haven't watched a let's play series in 5 years! anyway love you're videos and you guys and can't wait till the next episode!
This was such a good episode for the lp! The commentary was A+ and the game was really nice to watch from the D&D to the Rachel Amber flirting scenes :)
I love how you aren't pulling any punches with how Chloe is obviously better than Max, Mari. Not like I hate max, but I get a little fed up with people thinking she can do no evil lol
I feel like because Ive been in theatre and performance basically my whole life, I've always been chill with changing in front of people, male female or anyone in general.
Fuck me I ship it
27:47 Am I the only one who thinks Rachel looks really strange in this. Her face makes her look much older even though she is supposed to be a kid.
she looks like they took her older self and just resized it to be smaller lol
It's super duper creepy
Time traveler Rachel confirmed
rip future evan
Chloe can't even live in Dungeons and Dragons... too soon 😂
UGH I LOVE this game, the literary allusions make the messages in the game so much more powerful and interactive in a way. I only read Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf after watching this and wow
"This is why Chloe is a better person than Max"
*chokes*
Calling it: Samantha will be Jefferson's first victim, if not one of the first.
She is innocent like he likes, I need to search her name on a red binder among his other creepy red binders.

Getting tads while watching! Thanks for the fast uploads
thank you :)
My theory: rachel amber is actually the fire resistant boss at the end of that nerdy rpg Chloe is playing. At the end of the episode in a dream, rachel is on fire while not feeling a thing, kinda similar to the fire resistance bracelet on that boss. Also her last name is amber
It's weird that so many people say that the voice actor of Chloe sounds very different, but nobody seems to complain about David, Joyce, Justin, Evan & many more having different voice actors too! I'm not 100% sure but it totally sounds like it!
Julius Well for one people do recognize the differences. Two, of course people are going to recognize the vocal difference more in a PROTAGONIST.
Onyx VII7 you're right
Julius Joyce sounded the same
The table top game was my favorite in this episode. Given how high the bar was set by the first game, finding something to add was hard - but this mini game felled awesome. Part of it was the camera work, part of it the voice acting, setting, ... well: It was just so well made and "in character".
Samantha was on a red binder in the dark room , I think
Well fuck, now I'm sad. :/
nah she wasnt
Zeo Fox I checked out and, no, she wasn't.
Here's the proof: life-is-strange.wikia.com/wiki/Dark_Room_Victims?comments_page=1
she wasnt
Oh shit that would be dark
i'd just finished part 3 you guys are amazing
omg the tempest is the BEST shakespeare play, had to do it for school but knowing every connotation and how it relates to life is strange's plot is incredible :')
Aw does Samantha crush on Natahan and I know what Nathan does but this just makes me feel for him more. He seems to get picked on alot at home from his dad and at school cuz of his family.

Cpn. Beartato I have a sad feeling that she will become one of Jeffersons's victims (in the future of course), probably coerced and tricked via her crush on Nathan.
after seeing so many forest fire foreshadowing i'm glad that before the storm is keeping the good ol' life is strange lack of subtlety alive lol
Mari said you can't demonize and appreciate bc you don't have enough energy for both...you don't know me! ITS NOT A PHASE MOM! I CAN DO BOTH!
29:43 Defending my old pal the Bard. Some argue The Tempest was the last one Shakespeare wrote.

26:17 when rachel turns to chloe and the music hits that was the moment they fall in love..
"Thrusting madly with his long sword" dirty minds unite
"Callimastia" is Greek for "having beautiful breasts." :p
D&D and Barb! Stranger things reference! I didn't notice it on my play through until it was too late :(
God y'all are amazing, I love both of y'all so much!!!!!
what is the song when Chole is getting Rachel belt?
i thought Nathan was just so freaking cute! GAWD why do I always fall for guys who will be dead
yup lol and all the shows/ games for me... lol
lol i was playing mass Effect 3 and decided "i'll be gay with Kaiden" and like 10 minutes later he dies... because I shot him... on purpose... i thought i would have shot him in the leg and he would forgive me... NOPE he was dead lol
Aww, I'm sad you skipped Skip. His music is cool.
Also, I am sooo into shipping Steph and Chloe.
You were right about the doing favors part cos I've read that the first step to brainwashing is the making the person say yes to you even in small things.
Samantha: You shut the fuck up!
Y'ALL I'M SHOOK
The episode titles are references to The Tempest as well.
When there is a character that is insecure and Afraid and they finally say things like "fuck off!" (Confidently) you know that they've changed
More themes of The Tempest include nature vs humanity, bad siblings and revenge vs forgiveness, and what makes someone a human or a monster (among other things). (I'm a theatre nerd)
grabs belt
makes choking jokes.
uhhh if chloe doesnt do it first.. uhh Mr. Jefferson might...
I can feel how hard Chloe is gonna fall for Rachel. this is gonna be a trip
After all the episodes come out I hope you guys do a symbology/imagery/metaphor/analogy video because there's SO much to cover it feels like
Oh god Nathan's portfolio.... has his dad already started having take those creepy pictures
Woah, they totally missed the fight with the principal and the demo tape with Skip :D
THE B CUP DREAM!! Hella relatable
You missed some really funny stuff at the dungeons and dragons parts if you did the other bits first and become more friendly with them both.
Mikey's fire spells are a metaphor for something, I'm sure
You guys play DnD too!? Awesome...
It's weird seeing nathan like that before he became a psycho o.o
This is probably just an over site on the Devs part, but when Chloe Graffitis she uses the marker in her right hand, but when she signed Evan's petition she used the pen with her left hand. So either she's ambidextrous, or the devs didn't pay attention.
is steph being voiced by felicia day???
Is Steph Joel's daughter voice from the last of us?
24:54 THAT FUCKING WINK OH MY GOD
Is that Max's guitar ar 32:28?
Omg I love you guys you're so funny x)
Why did you skip 2 parts of the game with Steph?
"A lot of makeup is the price of valor."
Quote for the ages
What Rachel is wearing after she changes. Isn't that the same outfit max wears in episode 3?
JD Cantu It's slightly different
I like the idea of max and Chloe playing DnD
I remembered playing D&D once and a few people in my party started a whole argument about when tacos were made because one person wanted to make them in the game. Also critical fail twice with a bow resulting in two arrows coming back around and hitting right back into each of my legs (Worst Ranger Ever).
Weed i smoke that beer i drink that lesbian porn i watch that super hot fire I SPIT THAT - chloe
Turki lesbian porn?
Idk
So am I too assume a double meaning in that Dungeons and Dragons game by chance?
This game isn't just about Chloe Price falling in love with Rachel Amber. This game is about US falling in love with Rachel Amber.
And its working. It's really working.
13:56 "How is this related to the story?" "I will be using these boobs later." It's Chekhov's boobs.
Mari's way of playing D&D is the best way :'D I'd do the same lol just charm everything
My group has a bard who keeps resorting to standing on some table to sing.
Part 5... for the love of the raven where is part 5
I wonder why they are so mean about 1 player RPGs. They are playing one right now.
Samantha reminds me of Kate
Okay, so how you guys said that a way to develope a bond is by having a person do small favors for you. It deadass reminded me of a guy i used to work with, i don't work there anymore, so I was new and I could tell that he thoguth i was hot since he stared at me from across the room for a solid chunk of time to an uncomfortable point, but i didn't know anyone so when he started to be friend me i was like "okay, ill just try and send him friends only messages" but he was still weird, like we never had one conversation but then i was just in the break room listening to a guy talk then he cracks an offensive style joke then just turns his attention to me and does a weird smile, for an uncomfortable time again (red flags i know), but I was like okay i need to befriend people, so i was like talking to him and then i mentioned that I write books and stuff, but i never get around to finishing them because of school, theatre, work, and my all around procrastionation.

The Tempest by William Shakespeare :)
I feel like Chloe would never say the 'true love' motive for the play. Even if she believed it.
33:32 "Guys, we're the smartest youtubers...."
Yes, yes yes, yes yes oh MY GOD yes you are!!!!!!
Steph seems like a hybrid of Max and Kate.
Why do so many of the voice actors sound so different like Justin and Dana?
Dot Voice Actor strike, alot of voice actors coudnt come back for this game but some of the side characters kinda sound better?
Boast about Games I'll just assume they are all going through puberty 😅
Dot then they went backwards again? This is set years before season 1 after all:P
