the word hella got the most character development in these games tbh
7:30 isn’t that clip from the movie “Watchmen?”
And David but very unintentionally and going against what the devs were striving for
Oh damn, that sweet dream sequence in Bladerunner with the unicorn? Totally added a lot to the narrative, we’re such film buffs!!! XD
Just hella call me Roger Dabbert
"Dude!
The band is called Firewalk!
Geeeeeeeeet it?"
-LiS writers
MarsShadow the epitome of subtlety
sound like the developers saw redlettermedia's blade runner RE:view
It's the video game representation of the "hello fellow kids" meme
My response to the overwhelmingly positive reviews to this game:
"Is that a sarcastic perfect?"
"no"
Life is Cringe: Before the Edge
What you mean before, this game is edge personified
_On_ the Edge
I will give this video one blade runner out of many things that benefit from forest fire.
as someone born and raised in Cali, I've never heard anyone here say "hella".
alonso171000 That's because you've obviously always been an uncool dweeb. Not like the developers, those guys hung out with the right crowd of preteens.
it's true :( I was hella uncool back in high school
that's the only one thing I can actually confirm is real and common saying here in California or cali for short
I haven't heard ANYONE use it (other than in this "game") for at least 10 years, but around 2001 I unfortunately heard it quite often. That No Doubt song probably didn't help.
+alonso171000 Idk what part of Cali you live in but hella people where I live say it
I know you're probably hella busy, but I cereal crave for more of this.
Mmm...Krave cereal...
Anthony Hiebert totes
Why won't anyone listen to me? I'm super cereal!
haha its kind of funny she says hella is a cali thing..but shes from long beach? its a northern california thing
people do say it in socal but not nearly as much
Holy shit, Adam. This editor is good.
Give a paper gold star to your editor, he earned it.
The editing in this episode... So good hahha.
Like some of the best I've seen.
are you 11 years old
Cant believe Chloe just owned a black man.
CmonBruh holup
I screamed at the screen hoping the game would actually drop the bomb
Isn't there some sort of constitutional right preventing that from happening? Some sort of amendment?
Life is Strange, the only game that never fails to amaze me with how much Chloe can be a massive bitch and the game developers still expect us to like her
Christ that was some top notch editing, my compliments to Vivien!
That death grips cut tho
I can’t believe they actually added a whole side game where you play a shitty D&D clone.
Let me remind you that Ashly Burch got nominated for this year's Golden Joystick for best voice acting award, but Hidenari Ugaki's beautiful performance of Majima Goro in Yakuza 0 didn't... let that sink in for a second.
Alejandro Benett ......fuck Ashley. Fuck the Golden Joystick. And fuck everyone who thinks lesbians=a good game.
Alejandro Benett
Tune in next time for a knife fight behind the Golden Joystick arena.
Burn THEM Frank is dead. This meme will follow him.
Burn THEM He kind of made it a meme. But you do know Yakuza is FAR from anime right?
Burn THEM Wow what an edgelord unlike us putrid normies.
What kind of mage only has fire spells?
the one that exists in a dnd world where they don't roll for damage and just announce that they win
Garchomp Chump it feels more like people battling in a comment section
Some Guy I dunno, stubborn mages that choose only one spell "because it has the highest base attack!"
Lightning bolt!.......Lightning bolt!......
Things n' Stuff magic missile
RIP Chloe
"hella fuckit" *splat*
She willnot be missed
These are the weakest roasts I've ever heard.
Liezl Bohnen I know, Chloe sucks.
But we're told they are epic and that automatically makes them epic. *good writing*
Actually depending on the environment wildfires are actually really good, some trees are really tick and the roots are really deep so the fire doesn't exactly hurt the trees
With the fire they get kinda recycle nutrients more fast, so natural wildfires are sometimes a good thing, again depends on the environment and trees, but they do still hurt the animals
Random artist on the internet it also gets rid of invasive species and most animals can just flee until it stops
It's also the best way to clear out dead trees so that new saplings have space to grow. My family visited the Sequoia National Park on a day that they did a controlled burn of some of the dead ones. It was pretty cool.
8:55 Lmao! Top notch editing once again.
ikr??!!
I love how the guy is talking as if this isn't a prequel and the first game hasn't already cemented what Chloe and Rachel's relationship was like. Like fuck, there's no reason to play this shit. The main gimmick is gone from the 1st game and being a prequel to it makes it blatant your choices don't matter outside of when the writers bother to change a few characters' dialogue around with the same end result.
That's the problem though! What you do literally doesn't matter.
You can choose how you roast people at least.
the editing in this one was phenomenal, some many small bits, its killing me
For every video I watch of this game I get closer and closer to stabbing my eyes out and shoving pencils into my eardrums just to make the pain stop
ClockWork Rat As your therapist I would advice you, out of concern for your well being, to not mutilate yourself.
You owe me an absurd/hella amount of money now.
After seeing the first part on stream I figured the cringe was going to die down as our """"""protagonist""""" actually enters the school social environment. BOY WAS I WRONG!
I can only imagine how far fucking past TEN on the cringe meter this game is going to crank that shit before the "cleverly" ""foreshadowed" wildfire.
As this series goes on, I still don't get why people like this game. This is just a poor man's TellTale game. Graphics look low poly, characters are unlikable, and I don't think there is ANY teenager that acts like the characters in this. To quote Adam "I want to die."
*i want to dip
Games like this series and Night in the Woods were well-received because their character are "relatable", not because they're actually good games (with actual gameplay) or well-written. Apparently, a LOT of people relate to unlikable, selfish, dickish, cringy, sociopathic, garbage characters.
“graphics look low poly”
Do you mean the graphics style or the actual models? The graphics are supposed to look slightly cartoony/stylized. The textures are hand-painted. The series is supposed to have a picturesque, painting aesthetic to it.
@@KumiesCummies While I agree, most of the animation (that isn't motion cap) is incredibly poor. The game looks nice when it's not being animated.
@Unoriginal Edgelord Debatable.
STAND: HELLA CA$H
STAND USER: CHLOE PRICE
I really hope it's like HIGHWAY TO HELL minus the only benefit of that stand.
Who the FUCK actually plays 2 player DnD!? I did it once and it's the most boring experience I have ever had playing a TRPG!
It's a lot less cluttered for new players to get acclimated to, it's also generally more low-key (which I prefer)
"a lot less cluttered for new players to get acclimated to"
Maybe it's because I wasn't paying too much attention, but those two geeks didn't seem new to me.
Actually, wildfires clear brush which benefits all parts of the ecosystem.
Preventing wildfires so violently also causes fodder like dead leaves to build up. So any wildfires that do happen end up being worse.
Sure, it's just that humans cause wildfires too often for it to be considered beneficial.
Except of brush.
Some areas of forest have "controlled burns" to replicate natural forest fires. Patches of burnt forest are important for certain species of woodpeckers, as a random example I happen to know.
Mediterranean plants, with oily thin leaves which allow for oxygen to circulate around them easily, are specifically adapted for being flammable. Fire's good for killing parasites and also speeds up plant natural selection - trees which are 'weaker' are removed from the genepool in a matter of hours as opposed to years.
at least a "cool story, bro" t-shirt is somewhat acceptable for when this game takes place
These long ass pauses before choosing something is really the best part of the game... What were they thinking!?
"It's a Cali thing." Considering the fact that the first game was made by a French developer, I'm guessing that the team behind it didn't understand that "hella" was endemic to northern California, and then the American developer behind this prequel presumably tried to cover for the mistake of the first game by explaining retroactively that Chloe, an Oregonian, learned the term from Rachel, a Californian. Hence the "origin story of 'hella.'"
Damn, that was one of the best laughs I’ve had in a while. Can this editor do everything?
Vivien still killin' it with these videos!
Absolutely. After that Catwoman video, I knew we had something special on our hands. He's so good!
It's like a John Green novel, but with lesbians!
Master Chief's death screams literally make everything funnier. Including Chloe jumping off the train. Which I lost it at
I thought the Durr Plant meme is dead.
What is dead may never die!
Moarice crikey! Me too
I appreciate the I Hate Everything reference
I find it hilarious that the garbage D&D scene had a garbage payout 2 sequels later.
The editing is amazing in this.
I like the wolfman owo
ɪᴍᴀɢɪɴᴀʀʏꜰᴀɴʙoʏ OwO
ɪᴍᴀɢɪɴᴀʀʏꜰᴀɴʙoʏ what's this 0w0
Adumplaze, the only youtube channel that unites furry community and the others peacefully.
Owo
I want IHE and YMS to have a baby together
Abigail Eldritch that's Ralph
I don't know that I'd find LiS to be more or less enjoyable if it was a couple of punk twinks, but I'm pretty sure I'd be even more bored to tears if it was straight.
I find that writers use being gay as a very cheap star-crossed plot thread, to the point that them being lesbian is the only fucking thing this game has.
I agree with the twinks part
tom w. Ralphthecynicalgayfurry
The animations during that backtalk with the black student looked a lot like Xavier renegade angel when he was arguing with himself. Just those hand movements man.
That Under the Skin music was *mwah mwah mwah* exxxcellent
I love how recognizable the music is. Great movie
Real props to the editor on this one.
Between your commentary and the editing, I'm dying. 10/10
Your editor's music choices were fucking awesome. Some subtle Danny Brown in there makes me happy.
That Melon reference triggered the shit out of me
As a lesbian, I mean.....yeah having a game that actually has lesbians in it and is about lesbians (even if there is literally nothing there about traditional gay struggles involved at all) is pretty nice. Especially since lesbians are fetishized so often when they *do* appear, it's kinda nice to just have girls that like each other doing their thing in a sense. It's just too bad that the game is shit, the writing is shit, *everything* is shit, and the characters are completely unrelatable.
I love when the editor adds the devil music when Adam takes time to make a decision.
So Life is Strange is a story about gay teenagers with powers in a small town with slice of life elements and time travel?
JoJo part 4 did it first and much better.
And JoJo's perfect husbando serial killer who goes on THOT patrol regularly beats out Mr Jefferson hands down.
That Blade Runner bit made me want to scrunch up into a ball and cry at the fact that this game has good reviews
1:48 I really want that image as either a t shirt or a poaster
just me
but i'm at the point where just the word "cringe" makes me fucking livid
Oh god, rachel's character model is really creepy. what is wrong with her eyes????? What were they going for?? Jeez!
Shithead and miss spookyeyes, otp for the year, great, fantastic,
Thanks for doing these short edited versions of your lp, i can't watch the whole thing without wanting to strangle myself. Chloe being chloe is too much.
That was amazing. The editing was top-notch!
Hella cringe
"Guess it's time to free some peeps"
As if the writing wasn't bad enough.
gurbo Woot woot
Your laugh when that girl told the black guy he got owned was really something else
I don't get why these games exist. There are yuri eroges up the ass, many being actually good, so why not go to those if you want openly yuri games? Hell, Nights of Azure is an actual game, same with the Fate/Extra games, both series making rainbows blush. Sure, this has "gameplay", but it's bad at that and everything else, so why do people play it? Oh wait, silly me, I just remembered why. Life Is Strange is for people who want to pretend they like smart, deep and "progressive" works. Not for people who actually have enough taste and brains to enjoy deep works that are competent at what they do.
I was with you until you mentioned Fate/anything. Awful visual novels.
Sometimes you don't want anime yuri, sometimes you want hipster highschool yuri.
I read and play a lot of yuri and also play LiS, even if the dialogue is absolute garbage I can still find some enjoyment in it.
Lesbians just cling to any rep they can get. Adam is right when he says that 'people just want to experience a game as a lesbian and this is one where they can do that'. Not sure if stuff like big boobed anime lesbians are comparable to this lol. I wish there were more yuri games (as a main thing) with an actual interesting story.
you act like this s an interesting story, and not just a horrible rushed plot. not gonna say that actual yuri has good plot though
Yuri is no different than any other genre, it can have as much plot as anything else. Also, believe me, I do not by any definition of the words find LIS interesting or good. I'm just questioning it's purpose, beyond pseudo-intellectual hipster garbage. The answer is that's all this is.
That "MRAR" actually physically hurt me. I'm suing.
God I love those insert shots from Team America xD
One flew over the cuckoos nest too
As a dungeon master I gotta point out that girl is a horrible dm. She made a boss with a fire immunity item, fully knowing her only player only used fire spells. She was gonna kill him.
Adam, wildfires also benefit areas from over forestation, which is an actual problem being solved in my line of work. Only problem with this episode, otherwise 'hella lit'
Nice Justice reference there.
09:02
during the "miranda's an idiot" thing, I didn't notice the monolith music at first. then when it rose in volume and I finally noticed it, it sounded like it was coming from behind the wall I was leaning on. Gotta say, hearing the fucking monolith sounds in real life is a really fucking harrowing experience. Took a good few seconds for me to come back there.
How they made the game:
1. Lesbian
2. Character looks
3. Graphics
4. Character characteristics
5. Hella

More of this editor, some of the best editing for a let's play I've ever seen
Who ever did the editing for this video deserves to be knighted.
The best part about you constantly threatening to throw up is that we know you can do it at will.
Not that I want to defend the game, but I think picking an option quickly is supposed to carry the reward of the story flowing more quickly.
Also I encourage it, as it gets this shit over with.
The editing is amazing, I can't wait for part 3.
The editing in this episode is top fucking notch, sweet job Vivien Benmouffek. 👌
love that the VAPE DANK OG OUT THIS BONG guy is still a part of the Life is Cringe cannon. He's my favorite character.
"Durr Plant" oh god dammit not again.
I as a straight man I've walked in on my brother playing this and all needed to hear was hella and I walked out
"NOWTH KOWEA" Is like the highlight of my day
I will say one thing they got right is that some ecosystems benefit from fire as long as it is a controlled burn. Small controlled fires remove leaf litter and prevent large forest fires from happening.
The problem with prequel games like this, is if you focus all of the damn story on something that is purely set in stone by the original game... there is no game aside from giving us some extra backstory on things and some "haha funny" or entertaining quips.
We already know whats going to happen, we already know how it all turns out, so theres really zero choices here that make any impact AND THIS ONE EMPHISIZES "CHOICES MATTER" WAAAAY MORE THAN THE FIRST ONE.
Chloe is like the girl version of Leusick Diamondeyes or whatever the fuck his name was, the grimestep beatbox guy lol.
Adum bringin back the Durr Plant
A lot of koreans say this game is a good game and i really wanna subtitle this shit and show it to them.
Fire culling is actually healthy to a degree, 100 percent fire suppression actually caused the extreme forest congestion experienced in North America today which causes super massive wildfire of 1000s of acres.
One genuine praise i'll give the first one: Rachael was a character who existed through other people. You never met, saw, even heard her, yet you got a good idea of who she was and how she acted because of how others spoke of her. It's similar to 2018's God of War with Faye: they were characters you never saw, yet knew all about because of how others perceived them. It left somethings up to the imagination and let the players fill in the rest of the gaps, but this (and Ragnarok for GOW) ruin that because they not only show her, but Rachael's a prominent character in this game and you see her a-lot more in this, destroying what little mystery and intrigue the first one built for her. Also, the first game painted her as being a troublemaker, but a sweetheart too, this just makes her another Chloe. Rachael's character in this is also ruined because the first game exists, so not only do we know this goes nowhere due to Max coming back/Rachael dying because of Elder Maxon, but we also know she was screwing around with other people behind chloe's back, showing that she wasn't as into it as Chloe was. Nice job, prequel. Last thing: Chloe's a massive hypocrite due to being pissed at her mom for falling for someone to get over her loneliness, yet when Chloe herself does it, it's ok, apparently.
"Life is Drama."
Don't you mean..
Life is... Strange!?
Ha.. ha ha.. heh.
the origin story of hella!
Life Is Tumblr: Before The Hella Cash
I like how every single one of these characters never show any emotion. Their faces always have this blank expression.
anyone else notice the guy levitating over the bench at 0:43
05:59 every time it starts it reminds me of xavier renegade angel, so funny.
i watch the full playthrough because drunk Adum is bae, but these videos have such good editing that makes it perfect
The editing was so good in this video I loved it
okay that use of the Under the Skin music was perfect
As a straight dude who is not a neckbeard, i also get nothing from this game, and every single piece of dialogue hurts my soul.
Free some peeps
Fire is actually very useful becouse it burns down old trees and letting young ones to grow.
Gotta love Vivien
I wasn't expecting a Durr Plant meme. Thanks, Adum.
Great editing this episode. Major props.
All the music choices so far have been immaculate but Under The Skin completely broke me.
Anyone else caught off guard by the sudden Godzilla music at 10:25?
