The vinyl was more of a promotional item that they use mostly for PR and later prizes / giveaways. They also sold a few through Square Enix membership program. From what I understood, Square cannot sell the soundtrack of Season 1 as a standalone (legal rights).

Quick question for episode 3 - is it possible to play out the
Damon knife encounter, and leave without Rachel?
the trailer after the end of episode 2 implies it is?

I don't think either of those end-of-episode trailers are actual scenes from the game. The one at the end of episode 1 showed Damon banging on that door and Chloe trying to keep it shut, but that does not happen in either scenario in that scene.

There's no way that it's a four disc purple/white vinyl pressing

right
If it includes more than just the OST by Daughter, then I wouldn't be surprised if it is. I don't think it says anywhere whether or not it is though.

I guess it might just be showing the two sides of two discs though?

SE Toby can maybe confirm these questions for us.

Ok, so I just stumbled across this, but apparently last month Dayeanne Hutton and Hannah Telle did a 2 hour livestream together where they answered fan questions while drinking tea and eating snacks.

I'm only like ten minutes in, but Hannah is talking about how she had no clue that they were going to bring Max back for the bonus episode in BtS until she found out at E3 last year, and she was like really sad and worried that she wasn't going to be able to play her again because of the strike.

WARNING: THIS IS INCREDIBLY ADORABLE! YOU MIGHT ACTUALLY FAINT BECAUSE OF HOW ADORABLE IT IS!
ALSO, THERE MIGHT BE SPOILERS FOR BOTH GAMES! I CAN'T CONFIRM, BUT BE WARNED!



Edit: Ok, yeah I'm like an hour and a half in to this now, and they definitely spoil the whole first game, nothing really too much for BtS though, just minor stuff. Dayeanne had played the first 2 episodes but episode 3 wasn't out yet when they recorded this.

Also, here is Hannah's head-canon for what happens after the end of the first game:

"If Chloe and Max stay together, if you choose Bae over Arcadia Bay, then what would happen is that they would escape and go to Seattle, and they would stay with Max's family for a little bit, and Max would be like 'What's going on, we know something's up!' And then they would figure out that all this devastation and destruction happened, and they would just like try to get back on their feet in Seattle and then they would go to college together. And Chloe would start a band in college and get her aggression out through her band which is what Chloe really needs to do. And then after that, Max would be like studying photography and Max would become a band photographer and Chloe would be a musician.

And then if you don't choose Chloe over Arcadia Bay, you see they have a funeral and it's like very very sad, and Max dedicates her life and her art to taking photographs of things that encapsulate like Chloe's essence, and all of her entire life and art becomes like a way to pay homage to Chloe's spirit."

Buying the Limited Edition, though I feel a bit weird about the Chloe + Rachel figures. Rachel is a great character and I love her, but sorry, she ain't Max.

I mean Max only abandoned her emotionally damaged and grieving best friend in her time of greatest need and also let her other friend get beaten up in the parking lot while she dipped in a shitty truck, among other things, but yeah she did nothing wrong.

Hey now her plant is okay.

When I came home my plant was dead :(. Thanks Max.

She also ruined Victoria's expensive sweater and probably got the maintenance department in trouble

ok ok Max did a couple things wrong and

alternate reality Max is the worst of the worst... she's friends with Victoria

Now, Kate and Steph are perfectly innocent (just overlook that Steph sells pirated movies).

Her parents moved and she didn't keep up with the messaging as she was busy!
About the parking lot incident to be fair she knew Nathan had a gun. Run for your life!

No love for Victoria's sweater here, but yeah probably Samuel got an earful :(

I know some people get really pissed off about the "nice guy gets the girl just because he's a nice guy" trope in popular media, but damn if Warren didn't deserve a lot more than a kiss. Defending you from getting a beating or worse constantly while you're generally being a spacey friend. I guess we don't really spend enough time with him to examine his flaws like the central characters, but he comes off as the best person in the game.

Also threw me that there's a background character in Back to the Future: The Game early on that looks very much like Victoria. Funny coincidence.

Is it bad to want the vinyls without having a way to play said vinyls.
Haha, I'm going to need to go to a friend's house to listen to it properly. I have a really old crappy vinyl player that used to be my grandma's, but no fancy sound system to hook it up to, just some headphones.

Today I couldn't sleep. And then I thought about Life is Strange and didn't get any sleep at all. And the worst part of it, I had a hard time to get Warren out of my head wanting to go ape...

APE, APE, APE! WHO WANTS TO GO APE?

I never went ape with Warren. Stop haunting me in my nightmares, dude!

Worst thing Warren ever did was suggest to Max to watch Cannibal Holocaust, like what the fuck.

I like horror movies and dont mind gore but that movie is just fucked up.

Aww, sorry you couldn't sleep, I've had a rough time going to sleep lately too because I'm sick so I know how much that sucks. Luckily I didn't have Warren haunting me though, that sounds awful!
