Sucks that LiS didn't win, but everything I've heard about Hellblade makes it sound like there's no shame in losing to it at all.
Got them in the mail today. Me happy!
Yooooooo! Those look great!

I'm also playing through again. I'm wondering though, for those who have finished the game, let's sayDoing a second playthrough of Life is Strange to get the remaining trophies and just finished episode 3. Even knowing what's going to happen, it is still so intense.
Max went back in time, saved William, and came back to find that Chloe hadn't been in the car accident, but was as happy as you'd expect her to be given the circumstances. (William is alive, Chloe doesn't become a cynical rebel, is still in Blackwell (or would she have graduated already?) but never became good friends/lovers with Rachel, etc.) However, Max has still apparently become somewhat of a mean girl who hangs with the Vortex Club. If you were in her place, would you just accept the new you and leave the new reality intact or would you strongly consider putting things back the way they were? (Vortex Max seems like she might have had a falling out with a non-quadriplegic Chloe at some point.)
A storm is coming. That new reality would have the snow, eclipse, dead birds, stranded whales, two moons happening.
Vortex Max is interesting. We know she hangs out with Victoria and Nathan. Max is using a polaroid camera, right? We expect her to use one in every reality. Vortex Max responds to a message from Nathan with "I'm in the dark room. Developing shots for the contest". She's using a fancy camera in this reality. This Max is different in many ways.

Finished a second playthrough of Life is Strange to get the platinum and to see the other ending. When I think back on my time with the game, Life is Strange is one of the most powerful video game I've ever experienced.
Now I feel empty inside. I need more Life is Strange ;(

Well that was hard. :D
Didn't get to play much the last 2 days. So just the one shot for now.

Go fuck your selfie is the best kind of cheese. Also, pretty funny that survey asks how hardcore a LiS fan are you? preceding a few questions only for them to be things you learn within the first portion of the first Episode. I suppose you'd only know Chloe is Max's bestie that soon if you read the journal though but they put options like Laura Croft so....
I'm pretty sure that was just a joke with the quiz questions in the survey haha, they were obviously not really meant to test your knowledge much.
True, I thought they were trying to determine the level of engagement in the series at first but yeah, clearly not meant to be much of a challenge there. Actually, seemed more like a whole quiz designed to disguise the only question or two they cared about, if you bought the special edition of BtS and why so they can figure out how to get more people to pony up for special editions hehe
If anyone is looking for a very Pricefield avatar to use, here ya go.
I absolutely love this, claimed <3
Thank you so much Fantomas
Everyone, drop what y'all are doing and play Marie's Room:
It feels very Life is Strange x Gone Home-y, is very short, and is freeware on Steam. I hope that's enough to convince y'all to play it, 'cause I just did and thoroughly enjoyed it. Don't read anything about it, just play!
Although do note I had a weird green-tint bug when quitting Marie's Room. If it happens to you a restart (of your computer) should fix it.

i've played it,it's a nice litte game.
My little problem is the story,you guess everything very quickly.No surprise.
But it's free !
My only problem was that it tried to evoke LiS soo much it became off-putting at first... But other than that, nice little game -- I'll have to play through it again to get that last achievement.
Finished, took me 53 minutes according to Steam. It can probably be done quicker if you don't get stuck on relatively easy puzzles like I do haha. I really liked it, pretty slow paced but a very chill game. I like how you just kind of slowly figure out the story in a non-linear fashion as you explore the room. Definitely agree with Hella about it feeling like LiS x Gone Home. Definitely some heavy LiS vibes, some things that seem like direct references even.
Definitely recommend it, especially because it's free and takes less than an hour to finish. I don't think people who like LiS will be disappointed with it. It's basically like the first time you get to explore Chloe's room in episode 1, but in first-person and with a lot more stuff to interact with.

Short as expected, but it did the job well. Even from the startup of the game with the music you could tell LiS is definitely a big inspiration. Part of me is kinda sad that it's that short, because I feel like there's actually an interesting story in there for a full length game.
Hello!
| don't suppose people can help me with one of the trophies on this? Basically number 5 of episode 3 on BtS does not unlock even though I've done exactly what I should. Has anyone else seen that happen? It even has a pic of it in the graffiti section of Chloe's diary thing. I tried it in collector mode and even tried restarting the chapter and getting there quickly again.
It's the 'Greasy Gunk' one if you need the name.
Any help would be great thanks!

Just as a heads up, Insert Coin restocked a bunch of their Life is Strange gear last night, including the Chloe hoodie and Raven shirt. If you're interested you might want to act fast as it looks like they're already selling out of some sizes (in the Raven shirt at least).
I can't believe they made Johnny cry again!

Actually, I can totally believe that, Deck Nine are very good at playing with our emotions.
LiS Ep1
Chloe: Seeing you after all these years feels like--
Max: Destiny?
*sad Chloe*
Hannah Telle's delivery on just that one word is so good. Having finished both LiS and BtS, it's crazy to go back and see how much more impact some lines can have.

So I had a depressing thought regarding BtS's ending and how it would fit canonically with LiS.
In the alternate timeline, Max finds that the search for Rachel Amber is still in full gear, with even the feds becoming involved. It seems that in the prime timeline, almost nobody cares anymore. So I guess that means the Tell Rachel Everything choice is canon. Sure, Chloe and Rachel had a couple great years together, but it seems like we destroyed her family, whether James deserved it or not (but her adoptive mother most certainly did not), to the point that they care significantly less about her disappearance than if Rachel had never even met Chloe. Obviously everything turned out poorly for Rachel in the end in either timeline, but at least in the alternate timeline I suppose she was still considered a pillar of the academic community, so despite her happiness in the prime timeline, her involvement with Chloe was seen by virtually everybody else as making her somewhat of a delinquent?
It's an interesting theory. I'd have to replay, but I don't recall them making Amber out to be slipping grades-wise or anything. I always took Chloe's description as more the people who didn't know any better were in denial (a girl who talks about going away all the time disappears, doesn't seem all that fishy) and the people who know better... are keeping their mouth shut.
Anyone else get their copy of Music From Before the Storm on vinyl from Record Store Day today?
Nice
So, I have a question about LiS ep5
When Max is going through the nightmare dormitory sequence, why does she turn into Victoria near the end?
Last edited:
My reading of most of those sequences is that they're
all just manifestations of Max's insecurities and her possible selves in the multiverse, just like all the 'bad' versions of the characters.
Been a while since I could play, so here are some pictures from EP3 of BTS.
