GAME SINS | Everything Wrong With Life Is Strange

see sunshine but as far max wakes up outside in the middle of a storm unless you a shit-faced drunk that counts as a sin when you start a story off like that bonus sin for being basically a dark and stormy night opening as well you tell me the game just started however I am suddenly getting Alan Wake flashbacks because that game starts in a dream sequence where you need to get to a lighthouse and there's a giant tornado chasing you that's the second son wicked ghoul in the first five minutes we should rename this the inception cliche that was so surreal they called film little pieces of time but he could be talking about photography as he likely was the teacher doesn't care about or wake up the student who was sleeping in the middle of his class while he stood right in front of her giving a lecture he didn't fall asleep and that sure didn't feel like a dream you were weird yes you were your head was even down that is the definition of sleeping in glass you could do that too sheesh I believe max has taken what you kids call a selfie photography class are not taking a selfie in the middle of a lecture we get your ass landed in detention a dumb word for a wonderful photographic tradition and Max has a gift how do you have a gift for taking selfies anybody here who knows their stuff Louis Daguerre was a French painter who created dig area types a process to give portraits a sharp reflective style like a mirror now you're totally stuck in the retro zone sad face using emoji in real conversation if kids are actually doing that these days and consider this as sin for real life an eight student class huh well I guess that's about what you should expect from an art school in your textbook you mean the textbooks and of them have with them in class that was amazing when mr. Jefferson took a class picture the first week even though I didn't want to be in the picture at all it was fairly [ __ ] cool to watch him at work framing us looks like a Monday Instagram pic to me want to go grab a cup of tea and [ __ ] about life thanks but not today I have to go over homework you should have asked her to go talk about your periods I would have gotten you hours of discussion or so I'm told by my divorce construction worker friends excuse me mr. Jefferson can I talk to you for a moment when and why did it become popular for female leads to speak like they studied at the Christine Stuart mouth-breathing School of Acting have you ever tried talking like this it's actually physically painful after a while I call this the hallway of every high school character cliche you had the hot girl in her jock boyfriend the nerd the bullied kid and his bullies and the cool kids an optional name for this would be the Saved by the Bell cliche game clearly says don't not only for max to nod I can't help but think that was intentional on the developers part this is a great song don't get me wrong and fits the scene well but they miss the perfect opportunity to play smells like teen spirit maybe the developers didn't want to pay Courtney Love a licensing fee and that's a legitimate reason but when you had the opportunity to play smells like teen spirit you play smells like teen spirit samuel is such a weirdo but I kind of like that you have disturbing taste in men god bless you and people like you this is the second game I play this year that features the butterfly effect as a central plot element I just can't get over the fact that they were both beaten to the punch by an Ashton Kutcher movie which this game basically rips off anyway so what do you want I hope you check the perimeter as my step ass would say now let's talk bidness I've got nothing for you you didn't check the perimeter you conveniently missed the last all in the empty janitors face at the end wrong you got hella cash that's my family not me Oh boohoo poor little rich kid I know you've been pumping drugs and [ __ ] to kids around here I bet your respectable family would help me out if I went to them why are you holding your blackmail meeting in the girls restroom Nathan is a guy and Chloe doesn't even go to school here was behind the school building not an option the parking lot may be anywhere but here I can tell everybody Nathan Prescott is a punk ass who begged like a little girl and talks to himself you don't know that he talks to himself though you came in after he finished doing his I'm crazy monologue that got away from me thank you no no whoa this game breaks its own time travel rules right from the beginning every other time max rewinds she doesn't rewind herself she stays in place here when she were wined she goes back to mr. Jefferson's class don't know his last game remember me was about rewinding people's memories to change how they acted in the present essentially time travel they apparently recycled the idea and drop the pretense that it wasn't time travel in order to make this game I think John Lennon once said that life is what happens while you're busy making other plans max rewinds time just so she can quote John Lennon at her teacher me I will use it to quote The Fresh Prince it's all about how my life got flipped turned upside down okay max retrace every step I washed my face I shredded my photo then the butterfly flew in and I took a photo you don't have to actually wash your face rip up your selfie and take a photo of the butterfly to get Nathan and Chloe to enter the rest room again that was going to happen regardless the only reason you redo two of those things is because they're important to the plot later why was max pacing back and forth when the conversation between Nathan and Chloe had already started by this point Nathan had already entered the restroom and started ranting to himself and Chloe had already started blackmailing him shouldn't max have already been paying attention knowing that nathan is going to shoot Chloe Max's plan is to hide in the restroom and then stop it there are so many smarter things she could have done like I don't know call the school security guard or a teacher or even just stand outside the restroom and grab Chloe when she shows up and tell her that there's a guy with a gun in there she didn't even come up with a plan to sound the fire alarm until she was in the restroom and [ __ ] was going down I just saw Nathan Prescott waving a gun around mr. Prescott happens to be from the town's most distinguished family and one of Blackwell's most honored students so Todd for me to see him brandishing a weapon in the girls bathroom we live in a time when kids get arrested for bringing a homemade clocks to school I'm pretty sure Nathan would be on his way to jail rich dad or not that many missing person posters in one place kind of runs into the law of diminishing returns also it doesn't help if you scatter them on the ground in front of the same billboard they were already plastered all over max I don't feel like talking why are you depressed you have a muffin would you mind letting me sketch you I do put my sketches on Facebook though Daniel's face is the real-world equivalent of the linee face emoji my dissing of you requires me to walk around you in a circle unless you're dropping bars in a rap idle a conversation should never look like this since you know all the answers I guess you have to find another way into the dorm we ain't moving you don't need to get up there's plenty of room to your right for her to walk around you max potentially gets samuel fired just so she could drop a bucket of paint your victorian splash your shirt letting max walk up the stairs to her dorm hey Victoria what do you want max the make fun of option doesn't make the obvious [ __ ] joke instant film is so damn hard to find and expensive now but I can't help it I'm analog not digital you can be analog and still use a good camera you use an Instamatic meaning your photos are gonna be garbage have you ever seen a polaroid redeye horrible color representation Moray effect and no depth of field yeah I totally locked you in your own dorm room from the outside that's how doors work after all that is a tasty plasma maybe I could sneak in and watch Final Fantasy Spirits Within I don't care what anybody says that's one of the best sci-fi films ever made max actually likes Final Fantasy Spirits Within I wonder why she mentioned that movie oh yeah I think Warren forgot to hide the party Buster folder I'm guessing the party buster files where Warren keeps all these shot videos like two girls one cup and lemon party don't Google those by the way Oh issah move your head if you insist max now that's what I'm talking about I actually helped somebody you actually helped somebody you saved someone's life this is actually a step down from that hey nobody is bullying anybody I'm doing my job no you're not you're part of the problem Missy I will remember this conversation yeah I know I played tell-tell style games before that's what the text in the upper left always tells me you will remember that but it won't matter what up max how are you here's your Flash Thanks that aborted hug is pretty much Warren's character arc for this game it'll be so karmic to see your ass clown face all over the interwebs interwebs that's 2004 internet memes dude you can draw I thought you were blinded by science not art art is science music is math etc etc I put Stephen Hawking against Picasso any day Stephen Hawking would lose badly in an art contest with Picasso the men can live they only move his cheek so unless they're going to discuss quantum physics or wheelchair ramps you need to shut the hell up about Stephen Hawking make sure you watch Cannibal Holocaust if you mentioned Cannibal Holocaust to a girl panties come off I know you'd like to take pictures especially when you're hiding out in the bathrooms Nathan just assumes max was in the restroom at the same time he was simply because he found her shredded photo on the floor and what's more he went back to get the photo after leaving the restroom since he left it on the floor when he ran out he's not even really holding you his thumb is standing straight up you could pull away no problem max Chloe how come max didn't recognize Chloe back in the restroom the only new piece of information she learned since then is that this girl knows her name but only now does she recognize her as her childhood friend I would think you'd fit right in with the art school hipsters right you look like the cover of hipster girl.com hipster girl.com would be a porn site or should be a porn site I need to buy that URL there is no one driving this other truck come in and close the door put on some music while I medicate despite how much pot Chloe smoked she is never once seen hi wait I've seen this before uh no way when did you take this you took this photo you brat in the bathroom today this gender pale and tile floor left such an impression on Chloe that she remembered him months after she was expelled from Blackwell and because max took a photo of it Chloe automatically assumes Max's in the restroom at the same time Nathan pulled the gun on her video game dancing is a long tradition of being incredibly awkward looking one of my guns is missing did you take it if Chloe stole one of David's guns why didn't she bring it with her when she went to blackmail Nathan for drugging her she obviously stole the gun before today's since she only just got home and nathan is clearly dangerous since he tried to rape Chloe a few nights ago is that grass you went tokin up again in here really who rolls a filter into their joint I'll be more upset about that than my stepdaughters smoking pot I'm sick of your disrespect tell me the truth that's an order who is it you have no reason to believe it's anyone but Chloe's it's still burning in the room would smell the [ __ ] pit is taken away everyone I've ever loved like to drop a bomb on our Katie Faye and turn it to [ __ ] glass visions of an apocalyptic feature are triggered by irony actually it's a water spot if it forms over water October 11 is this Friday that's only four days away a convenient newspaper just so happens to be here so max can learn what day this tornado appears even though a newspaper lying around can be from any previous day and not just on this one and this is all just the vision she's having why would there be a newspaper flying around at all Chloe doesn't restrain max when she's tripping out right next to a cliff ledge she was zoned out standing right on the edge and touching her shoulder made her fall over how do you think I saved you in the bathroom at reversing time yeah sure I saw you get shot Chloe saw you actually died I was able to go back and hit the fire alarm okay I see you're a geek now with a great imagination but this isn't anime or video game this isn't what it is when it actually is cliche what the hell is this snowflakes it's like 80 degrees time-travel visions of an impending disaster weird phenomena teenage ank's if a giant rabbit and a mass shows up I'm out previously on the stuff you just finished playing episode 2 also begins with max waking up I think I'm actually going to start calling this opening the I wrote this back in highschool cliche also don't think I didn't notice your Groundhog Day reference with the alarm clock just because you're a game about rewinding time doesn't mean you get to compare yourself with Groundhog Day it's been only a few hours since Max and Chloe we're talking at the White House since then max has had time to read multiple books on time travel while taking notes warrants in max an email full of time travel movie recommendations however he didn't recommend Groundhog Day or Back to the Future on his list in fact he only mentions back to the feature as a pun at the end this automatically calls into question Warren's judgement on pretty much everything apparently in girls dorms it's routine to crack open the shower door and throw a roll of toilet paper down the hall for no reason also this toilet paper breaks the laws of physics as far as I can tell it gets thrown from the back of this hallway yet hits the wall which is facing away from the hallway also there are no toilets in the shower room so why was there a roll of toilet paper in there to begin with the last time I got a flu shot I got the flu [ __ ] you I never expected to hear an anti vaccine a videogame max gets into a shower stall with her bed clothes on and I can only assume they get soaked because there's nowhere inside to hang them that video of you clubbing didn't look like homework Victoria that wasn't me overheard restroom conversation cliche Victoria and her friend walk into the shower room to glance at themselves in the mirror and give exposition on Kate I think it's awesome you set a tongue record on video and we're going to be sorry someday Oh boohoo I'm sorry you're a viral [ __ ] kate is upset because a video of her making out with guys at a party has gone viral so viral it already has his own web address yeah Kate is religious but unless she was Westboro Baptist religious no one would care how do I get a viral video taken down I need to find out if nathan prescott helped me or hurt me after that party should i go to the police you're asking if you should go to the police after a rich kid bill cosby'd you at a party girl you should go to Time magazine and get a goddamn cover story the squirrels always come in the morning for food I can hear them whisper my spirit animal is a squirrel samuel was like a lenny smalls of mice and men for a new generation told me about the dank memes max that is clearly a bottle of mustard hit the label says mayo hello there to you such a beautiful day oh yeah it's gonna be a super thing enjoy your breakfast see in this game being canadian is enough to get you labeled weird lady nothing at all has happened in this diner until max needed to prove to chloe that she can rewind time then everything happens at once just so max can remember it all in rewind time so she can predict it happening to Chloe even though max just finished telling Chloe everything that was in her pockets which should have been more than enough to prove her rewind power is real don't even answer places to go and do come on before mom starts some more [ __ ] let's bail it's Kate Marsh from Blackwell hey what you don't call me once in five years and now you're all over some [ __ ] you see every day at school I don't really see the conflict here it's a call on a cell phone max can take Kate's call and getting your truck to drive to the dump with you at the same time is everybody armed in Arcadia Bay now only the ones who shouldn't be like step dildo and Nathan you know the guy who tried to rape and later kill you I feel that he's a far bigger threat to you than your stepfather but apparently he didn't want to mention here okay let's do this can you find five bottles while I prep the shooting range I speak for everyone who's ever played this game when I say [ __ ] these bottles [ __ ] these bottles in particular I know that this ghost deer is supposed to be Max's spirit animal but seriously why does she have a spirit animal and why does every t-shirt max wears have a deer on it is she aware of this fact I have to assume she is because she doesn't freak the hell out when she comes across a transparent deer can i play the Imogen Heap song when someone shoots themself I heard the gunshots in the breaking glass it's cute you're playing with guns if you heard all that and that means you were close by the entire time however you chose to stay hidden for quite a while since this is after max passed out from over using her powers you better step back before you regret it girl I mean it you want me to cut you [ __ ] please please step back you're kidding you just finished saying you heard them shooting a gun why would you bring a knife to the gunfight and then be surprised when the other guys brought a gun six-shot revolver is empty appreciating just four bullets at least Frank is gone he won't [ __ ] with us again he just finished saying that he would come looking for you again for his money in a few days and this time with a gun he just stole from you I remember the days when I too would reenact stand by me by walking down train tracks before lying down on them without a care in the world no no I didn't because I had Nintendo now stop napping on the train tracks you stupid idiots your foot clearly isn't stuck between the train tracks rather than look for a way to free Chloe's leg from the tracks how about you just rewind time to the moment before the tracks switched and then warn her to move her foot I have to get back to school before my next class what kind of schedule does blackball academy keep with its curriculum max woke up in her dorm had a shower took a school bus to a diner in town then went with Chloe to shoot some bottles in the junkyard before walking a mile down the train tracks by now it has to be noon at the least we have a tornado rewind power and freak snow hello Armageddon so let's party with your power rock star both Chloe and Max show a shocking lack of disinterest in Max's vision of an impending disaster if it were me and I had a friend who had control over time I would wait any visions of apocalyptic doom that person had fairly highly Pluto is in a planet this science class is nothing but a wall of lies hacksaw silver hammer perfect timing if you're going to use an endearing nickname for a girl you like best not to choose one as a reference to a beetle song about a serial killing student I want that photo [ __ ] or I get nasty Victoria who created a viral video of Kate kissing guys at a party once the photo of her covered in pain - max - considering what goes viral in this world she might have a reason to be worried I saw Kate earlier in her eyes for puffy from crying how you were in the science class when Kate left the building crying we just saw her outside the window Oh some crazy [ __ ] is going down at the girls dorm yeah Kate Marsh is about to jump to her death so I ran all the way over here from the other side of campus to randomly announce it to this one class why did I do that for again everyone always checks The Weather Channel for rain before committing suicide this game's dialogue trees would be good at game sense since it lets me choose the option I would also use in this video if it ends how does that proverb go when justice is done it brings joy to the righteous but terror to the evil do personally I'm more of a fan of Ezekiel 25:17 it even kind of works in this situation if you kind of stretch the context just a moment ago it was cloudy and raining but the light coming through those windows would suggest otherwise officer berry will be taking notes for the official police inquiry he'll be taking notes with his non-existent pen and paper as principal of Blackwell Academy I take my duties seriously I take the well-being of every student more seriously you did absolutely nothing when max told you nathan was carrying a gun in school Warren makes his move after Max is emotionally upset because he's just witnessed her friend commit suicide guy has game [ __ ] horrible game but game this makes a third episode in a row that begins with max waking up this is bad writing 101 and you keep repeating the same mistake oh yeah star white also this is a case of off-screen stealth since the student quad was empty when max got here and there was nothing for Chloe to hide behind and surprised max from get it boo-yeah like I'm scary pump Coast that's not how puns work that's not how anything works you already love my work so it's not like you're playing favorites just imagine if you picked my photo though we would have to spend a lot of time together that could be fun don't you think I'm going to think that you didn't say any of that you might as well choose me otherwise I might have to tell people you offered to choose my photo for favors or something as a favor to your future I'll also ignore that undisguised threat if the promise of sex with a barely legal girl doesn't really mean chances are threatening him with rape accusations isn't gonna make him want to break off a piece either I don't know about this we're both already in so much trouble you can always let me get busted like you did with the weed it was your weed in your room and you told her to hide in the closet holding her responsible for that makes you look like an [ __ ] because max basically teleports through time rather than actually rewinding it she can enter a room by blowing it open then rewind back to before the explosion while still in the room however no one ever seems to notice max reappearing right in front of their eyes when she messes with time max you better come check out these files you better take a look at this cliche it's just some crazy drawing it's not a drawing look Rachel in the dark room Rachel in the dark room Rachel was a student at this school and has been missing for months and the faculty never reported Nathan's drawing to the cops he'll the we'll even refuse to believe Nathan carried a gun despite this being a report on his computer welcome to 1954 2015 internet arguments when the security guards show up to catch a Max and Chloe they both hide in the girls locker room however Chloe is nowhere to be seen in a while you are avoiding the security guards then shows up like she was there the whole time once the threat has passed this guard didn't see them even though they were walking along a brightly lit path drawing attention to your truck as you pull out of the school parking lot was probably not the best idea since your stepdad works here as a security guard and he was here tonight when I see piles of discarded clothes and two pairs of feet on a bed with some post coital morning light I don't expect the next shot a fully clothed people maybe that's just me I wish we could just hang out all morning like we used to maybe we should get out but I have to get back to Blackwell soon why it's quite clear the classes don't start there until 1:00 p.m. today the gym tomorrow the world skip but in a really indie movie kind of way which I guess would require an in-depth conversation about growing up and learning to live with your troll we should just skip for example I dare you to kiss me what I double dare you kiss me now damn you're hardcore max now I can text Warren and tell him he doesn't stand a chance unless he's into girl-on-girl action that should never be in doubt for proof just look at the amount of people who chose to kiss Chloe in the statistics page at the end of this episode oh hell Nathan Drake's half tuck look is spreading no [ __ ] it needs a password how about step douche try again step do should be a 10 letter password max only type 7 letters though such wrong much means very cliche the actual password 1120 708 is a 6 digit password the MEC still type 7 characters I have to take a nap after writing up vandalism reports last night what happened some little [ __ ] ass Punk's broke into the swimming pool there was a message on your answering machine this morning from the police who said Chloe struck had been identified leaving the parking lot and the only person who saw leave was one of the school's security guards if they contacted the police about the break-in then you would have to know about it by now between your investigations into Rachel and Kate what have you done besides get in trouble the game gives me no reason to choose to side with David in this argument so this is really a press here this is your second playthrough and you want to see how things change which is what most of the choices in this game boil down to [ __ ] okay here's the plan I'll go to the diner and distract Frank by telling him I have his money but he needs to come with me that you come in and whine so Frank doesn't see me then you can tell Frank he needs to check out his RV and then you rewind after you get the key not that you succeeded the last time you tried to pick a lock but you could at least give this one the old college try what the [ __ ] do you want take a picture of me and I'll break your [ __ ] camera at this point you know next to nothing about Macs so how you know the max is into photography is anybody's guess I was eating those beans are you [ __ ] insane I was eating those bees as a well known drug dealer assaulting a young girl in a diner with a cop only a few feet away at the counter is probably not the smartest idea you could have also this cop doesn't turn to look at the commotion going on right behind him besides you don't want a leash you want these keys right here and I'm just gonna pull these off a dramatic impact and put them on the table rather than back in my pocket so you can steal them I'm the tree street boy I think we just made that dog our [ __ ] get it your puns are not that complicated please stop asking if we get it presto Chloe's gone from that angle it's impossible for you to see that gun I have a terrible present for you an ounce of dank bud that would be a terrible prison why does everybody in my life let me down my dad gets killed you bail on me for years my mother gloms onto step [ __ ] now rachel portrays me Chloe rachel is missing nobody betrayed you [ __ ] who hasn't [ __ ] everybody that's the first time in this game that these characters have actually sounded like real teenagers Kate Marsh killed herself she's dead such sad writing teenage characters requires a bit more effort than having them repeat Retta memes do you know what it's like to wait for your father to come home when you're a kid and he never does no but I know quite a few Ubisoft characters they do also that's dead parent for character motivation cliche right after Chloe went on a rant about how much your life sucks because her dad died max discovers a new superpower that lets her travel back in time to when a photo was taken so she can change things I'm not sure how she developed such a specific superpower or why it only started working right now but whatever though it does bring up the question what happens if she tries to go back in time using a Photoshop also was really lucky that Joyce gave max the photo this morning that William took on the day he died so she could travel back and stop it from happening someday dad will get one of them newfangled computers newfangled computers this is like 2009 not 1999 I'm 18 years old inside my 13 year old and yet you're the exact same height at 13 as you are at 18 I'm 18 years old inside my 13 year old so also that sentence stopping Chloe's dad from getting the car and dying somehow change the presence of the maxis part of the vortex Club at school and friends with Victoria even though there's no reason why William not dying would have affected her life in such a way since the course of Max's life in this new timeline played out the same with her family moving to Seattle and Max coming back years later for school he only took four episodes for one of them to finally begin with max already awake this is such a different world than when we were kids isn't it after that snow and eclipse it's more like the end of the world wait so the snow when eclipses happen in this timeline as well how does that make any sense that stuff happened because max created a new timeline by saving Chloe from being killed by Nathan in this timeline that never happened yet the tornado is still on its way to destroy the town Oh Chloe can totally control her computer it's so great people get this high-tech help nearly every line of dialogue max has feels like it's something someone would write on a Facebook wall I think I'm in like a mellow Bladerunner mood I don't know what version of Blade Runner they're watching but it can't be the correct one if that's what the opening sounds like if maxvill asleep during the movie who turned the TV off Chloe's paralyzed and has no remote do you think that good is a replicant it's pretty well established fact that he is next up on the sci-fi movie trivia list was Douglas Quaid lobotomize at the end of Total Recall when it cut to white at the end and was dawn cobb still dreaming at the end of Inception it's cool that Chloe uses natural medicine to with that anti evacs line lines about climate change and now this sometimes this game feels like it was sponsored by The Huffington Post I want this time with you to be my last memory do you understand yes I do all you have to do is crank up the IV to eleven I'm not sure if Chloe is making a reference to this is spinal tap with that up to 11 line regardless I'm pretty sure you can't crank an IV up to it please help me max I think you were overlooking the fact that you were asking your best friend to kill you meaning she will be spaying several years in jail because she did you a solid game makes a big deal about choosing to help Chloe commit suicide but then has max go back in time using the photo again to undo her saving a William resetting the timeline back to what it was and making this choice irrelevant which is pretty much what all of your decisions are there's really no reason to burn this photo it's not like you're going to accidentally go back in time and stop Chloe's dad from leaving again one decipher Frank's logbook to get Nathan's phone to find out where he's been during the vortex Club parties with Kate and Rachel and see whatever hidden shed he's gotten his messages three beats step douche Dan until he tells us about Frank Nathan and the dark room you just returned from a completely different time line you should be out of the loop about what you and Chloe have been up to in this one for the past few hours how would you even know what the plan is to figure out where Rachel amber is rather than hide his phone behind the sofa in his dorm room why is it Nathan carrying it around with him and what's more why hasn't he deleted the incriminating text he sent about buying drugs the night Rachel disappeared that's the reason he hid his phone in the first place get off me get off me bro or should I call the cops on me no police not yet he pulled a gun on you in school a second time and this time there are three people who saw it I think you have a possible arrest on your hands how did Frank get his RV to the beach last episode Chloe threw his car keys under the roof of the diner without him knowing after they stole his logbook or are there two sets of the same keys now since stole his keys rewound time - before she stole them but still had that you know what I'm gonna need a flow chart to keep track of this stuff nothing max there's nothing here it's a shitty old barn let's keep searching and find out who owns this haunted barn I'm on this hold on somebody named hairy Aaron Prescott that took you like five seconds to go from Google Maps to finding the property deeds for the barn should we call the police [ __ ] that you know the police here like Nathan's private security right you know if you're not going to have your characters do the rational thing and call the police because you have a barely believable excuse you don't need to have the characters keep asking the question if the answer is always gonna be the same Chloe just looked at the name of the person who owns the barn yet her browser is still in the map rather than anything that would tell her who owns it the barn door is locked with a padlock but conveniently there's a piece of tin just leaning against the wall that can be moved so you can get in considering what's in this barn that's a big security oversight if you're going to go to the trouble of putting a keypad lock in your secret underground bunker you might want to use more than three numbers in the combination despite finding a room full of evidence on Kate Rachel and other missing girls and discovering Rachael's body buried in the junkyard there's still not going to call the police just what were you planning to do in the first place if your private investigation led you anywhere geez Chloe look up at the sky beautiful I don't give a [ __ ] the world is ending cool murder boner or not double moons are gonna make you do a double-take welcome to the end of the world ladies I'm glad you decided to escort me the only alcohol being served to this party is in the VIP area which Warren would not be allowed into the regular area is only serving energy drinks in soda meaning Warren got wasted on redbull also how would any school get away with allowing students to drink at a party in the school oh Maximum Overdrive about know you were not allowed to talk ever again due to mentioning Maximum Overdrive also does everyone in this game have a nickname for max she's been called Maxine Mad Max Max Factor Maximilian Maxwell and now this I don't think most high schoolers would be cool with coed restrooms at a party tell herself and for anna humor and meet everybody clear that's not like ballsacks yeah it kind of is your fault you not only posted the video but you even created a website board and wrote the website URL on the shower room mirrors thinking did I cause this did I I felt like [ __ ] ever since and Here I am partying I got over it there are even teachers at the school party that's giving out booze much say cause you did my juice a Mac starts episode 5 by waking up yet again yeah she was drugged by mr. Jefferson at the end of the last episode so there's at least a reason for this time but when 4 out of 5 episodes start out the same way I can't summon the energy to care see that's why you always use multiple layers of duct tape and make it tight so it cuts off the circulation and numbs our limbs so even if they wanted to break free they can hey why do I hear police sirens I knew you were special the second I saw your first selfie yes I still hate that word now that I've revealed myself to be the villain I'm gonna start speaking a low menacing whisper since video games don't want to touch the subject to rape with a ten-foot pole they have to come up with something similar but not as bad like mr. Jefferson drugging girls and then photographing them this room is under 24/7 surveillance so all I had to do was text you from Nathan's phone and you fell right into my hands how did you be Chloe and Max of the junkyard in order to ambush them you were still at the party giving Victoria her reward and Max and Chloe left the school before you after you sent a fake text from Nathan's phone 10 minutes of villain monologuing mr. Jefferson was taking one hell of a risk by bringing drugged girls here and photographing them he was basically betting that they would remember anything just like hey didn't and he's done this a lot judging by the amount of binders in his storage cabinet evil oh I see you and your friends almost beat Nathan to death see we're not so different we're not so different you and I cliche just how do you even figure look at that shot max you can do so much better and of course Max's diary opens to the middle page with a selfie she took of herself back in mr. Jefferson's classes so she can go back in time and stock Jefferson then had it opened to any other photo she would've been screwed right now in this new timeline where mr. Jefferson and Nathan are arrested Rachel Amber's body discovered at the junkyard Chloe doesn't seem that torn up about discovering her girlfriend was murdered I think there's so many realities in one week life is weird close enough roll credits you have the ringer off it well you weren't really conscious of yourself turning off your phone you just woke up from time travel a minute ago so missing Chloe's phone call about the tornado isn't really your fault Chloe where are you Chloe can you hear me hello phone call cuts off mid-sentence cliche Mac's going back in time again to rip up her winning photo so that she doesn't end up in San Francisco cuz ur Dindo back and mr. Jefferson's dark room again because he found her ripped off photo in her diary and got so angry he burned her photos which is supposed to mean she never traveled back to the selfie she took in his class however the change she made when she went back and got Jefferson arrested should have still happened since the photo tearing change happened before that jeez as I told you I was gonna need a flowchart the considering you're about to die a nosebleed is a first-world problem mr. Jefferson uses dank internet memes I think he's the first villain since the juggernaut an x-men 3 to do that I hope these images will be appreciated for what they truly capture no one is ever gonna see them but you there are no serial killer photo galleries for you to display these in crazy people always have musical tastes that describe them you would think that in a game where the main character can control time you wouldn't need to have a deus ex machina come to the rescue but you'd be wrong how did David even know to come here tonight during a tornado no less by his own admission he was staying at a motel feeling sorry for himself for getting kicked out by Joyce he never figured out the truth for himself so finding this darkroom should have been impossible in this reality the tornado is knocked out cellphone coverage yet and the timeline match just came from she managed to call Chloe during the tornado David wait just a moment ago you said this I don't care what you do to me you're gonna die [ __ ] you can't Sam Jackson a scene then followed up with pacifism boy can you hear me wait you just said there was no signal a moment ago at 9:00 p.m. max it snakin I just wanted to say I'm sorry why is max only just now receiving a voicemail from Nathan warning her about mr. Jefferson he said this yesterday while he was still alive and before max was drugged Max and Chloe were even lured to the junkyard by a text Jefferson sent from Nathan's phone which he said after killing him can't believe he actually drove down here in the middle of a [ __ ] 6 tornado just for one photograph I mean I know you didn't come for me worried I came for all of you you just told me you do have the photograph I came for all of you but about that photograph I could use a hug before I do this me too you have violated platonic hug law violation number one you stepped into the hug and squeezed violation number two you close your eyes and enjoy the moment violation number three arms around waist rather than shoulders that's three strikes you have been downgraded from like an older brother to me status to little brother status oh Jesus dude what is up with you I'm just glad right here together I guess you need to talk no worries it's all good at this point Warren has been friend-zoned in multiple timelines you might just want to warn Warren now by not taking shelter in the two wells diner during the tornado since it exploded before max got there and we want time to stop it from happening so after making sure Chloe doesn't die by going to the junkyard tonight and telling David about mr. Jefferson your plan was to go to the beach and stand in the path of the tornado and herring is this really the [ __ ] time for this and the storm got hella crazy and you said we would be safe at the lightning why would she tell you that max all the white house fall apart in her vision of the tornado the entire climax of this game is a nightmare dream sequence that would be okay if it wasn't used solely to set up a flood of fields for the ending some of them getting Petey flashbacks I better stop before Konami hasn't taken down doing the game's intro sequence in Reverse is easily one of my favorite moments I had in a game all year and is easily worth taking off three sins for a loan max dreams that every male character in the game is trying to kill her I don't want to accuse the game of implying something but I think the game is implying something disgust god damn you're sexy [ __ ] see this is how you bust a move max I [ __ ] love your tats Chloe you're so hot suddenly I'm getting casting couch flashbacks who are you holy [ __ ] are you cereal I'm you dumbass or I'm one of many Max's you've left behind the idea there being alternate timeline Max's is an interesting one too bad the game only brings it up in a dream sequence and never again what about the crap that was your fault wait let me guess you [ __ ] up time and space for your precious Punk Chloe alternate versions of you will always bring up all the reasons why you suck hallway of how we got here cliche the only way you you could use that photo to change everything right back to when you took that picture Chloe doesn't know the max uses photos to go back in time all max ever told her is that she rewound time to when they were kids and tried to save her dad she never once mentioned that she used photos to do it all so I call [ __ ] that Chloe would still be carrying that photo around with her a week after she took it from max despite that disclaimer at the start of the game that tells you that all your choices will affect the outcome really only this one choice matters since all of your other choices get a race if you pick the ending the Deb's obviously want you to pick ending a you're not an [ __ ] ending B you're an [ __ ] rewinding time back to the restroom to let Chloe die is supposed to restore the original timeline and stop the tornado from ever happening except there's still one difference between what was supposed to happen before max Ramon time to save Chloe and now originally when Chloe Shawn max came out of hiding and yelled no meaning Nathan would have discovered that she was there and there was a witness to his murder so there's a compelling reason to believe max was supposed to die here along with Chloe this time around max remains hidden until David arrives in arrest Nathan staring off into the sunset cliche eating those beans are you [ __ ] insane are we eating those babies you
