Playdate: Life is Strange (11/20/2015)

Woot so excited for the next part!

Way better than I expected.

Here's a way to see chat reactions.

GB East content is officially my favourite stuff on the site by far. I'm consistently entertained by the Beastcast and the East video features, more than anything else. Vinny, Alex and Austin are the best duders.

Shit has a way of getting real in this series.

I love this game and I love Giant Beast.

Like the Final Fantasy movie, this game is an underrated classic.

Thanks for doing this guys :)

Boy does this game go places.

I love getting loaded on Satan!

[Edit] Holy shit.

Perfect thumbnail. :)

I also wanna really thank you guys for playing this. At least in my opinion this is one of the best games this year and it needs more exposure. I'm really glad you guys are enjoying it as well.

Playdate crunch time before SF trip. Two episodes left, make it happen!

Adventure games are perfect for GBEast streams and Life is Strange is one of the best of all time. :)

I love when they debate over the choices in this game.

I had no idea you could find the gun again in the RV.

I also had no idea you could interact with the phone at all during the end. I went straight to the table and found the keys.

Even though I knew what was coming, after watching this I kind of feel emotionally defeated AGAIN.

Edit: Also, I don't know how you guys mustered up the strength to not just push a few buttons and start episode 4. When I finished Ep 3 and it went to the main menu I repeatedly clicked on Ep 4 even though I knew it wasn't out yet.

@lelcar: agreed

I would like to take the time right here to remind everyone that Alex's full name is Alexis Alexander Navarro.

@austin_walker Yo, I heard that Nas reference.

I haven't played this game so I don't know what comes next, but I am completely befuddled on how next episode will handle the situation of this episode's ending.

Hopefully they don't take the easy way out and do a complete U-Turn

I remember crying out when GBEast watered the plant on the second day.

RIP in peace, beautiful plant. But having played through this game as a result of this feature, I'm excited to see where their path goes and am already surprised all the little things I missed that they notice (or vice versa.) It makes me pretty impressed with all the options and intricacies of the game.

This games only gunna keep going down the serious hole from here on out, it'll be interesting to see how they react

Sounds like you guys won't finish it before the GOTY discussions, ah well. Great ep!

This is a great video game.

So glad they enjoyed this episode. Good to see Life is Strange getting more love.

Also a fun fact I found out today, the voice actors for Mr. Jefferson, Chloe, and Victoria Chase are all in Fallout 4.

Perhaps not surprising since there are a lot of prolific video game voice actors out there, but it was cool running into some of their voices in the Capital Wasteland.

@aziridine: Principal Wells voices a couple characters in FO4 as well. So do Joyce and William, according to IMDB, but I haven't noticed those two myself. Half the damn cast of LiS is in that game.

This is my GOTY.

Awesome! Things are gonna get good!

That bug vortex is weird, is this game secretly just a Uzumaki adaptation?

Hell yeah, I loved the crap out of Life Is Strange.

It's too bad they won't be able to finish it before GOTY discussions.

I didn't expect this game would be one of my top games of the year, if not GOTY, when I began watching this series. I had to stop after the second video to play it myself and I totally loved it. I'm enjoying now watching the playdates seeing different choices than I made play out and being back in Arcadia Bay.

I'm really glad you guys gave some more exposure to this game other than the QL.

@andrewjplant: Ant vortexes are a real thing. Basically they're following the ant in front of them thinking they're being lead to the nest when actually they're just walking in circles: http://www.mnn.com/earth-matters/animals/stories/why-do-army-ants-commit-suicide

Wonder if she ends up drugged instead of Kate!

I was expecting this to be premium only, so I'm surprised and glad to see it. Really enjoy watching these guys play it, even though part of me occasionally wants to take over and check the stuff they miss.

yeah, rip.

Ugh, are you guys really not going to finish this game in time for GotY? I mean, I get it, but fuuuuuck this game at least deserves to be in the conversation even if it doesn't make the staff list. Squandered all that time on those "Choose Our Own Adventure" episodes.

This is bumming me out so much.

Yeah it is very interesting looking at people's thought processes that very much differ from mine. This game is definitely my GOTY

Agreed. I really feel like they should've scheduled this in better.

I don't ever really leave comments on anything, but I have to here, because I can't agree more! I also tweeted at the guys about this; I think everyone who feels the same should also direct comments via twitter or other methods to push for Vinny, Alex, and Austin to possibly prioritize these play dates before the GB GotY discussions!

Time to get loaded on Satan.

Man. I was enjoying watching the guys play through the game. I figured it was enjoyable enough. I didn't understand why people seemed so hype about this game. MAN. This game goes places.

"A hunting hat? Elmer Fudd was here"

That made me laugh out loud.

Just bubble-hearth yo!

I really hope you guys try to finish this before GOTY, and I would love to hear the crews formal thoughts on the whole thing. It's a really great game with a genuinely wonderful story. So please prioritize a play date for this! Much love yo.

Hugs and sms's is like the most dad-joke thing and I love it.

I'm so invested in this series. I loved the base game, but I'm having a much better time watching Austin et all work their way through the game.

\m/

OK, yeah, I'm going to have to play more of this.

Wait, was Chloe stealing her step-dad's school keys the reason he couldn't keep the roof access locked so Kate could get up there?

Please do a long stream of this!!!

Great episode, loved the video. So happy that they're playing this.

I really REALLY wish they'd try and at least play episode 4 before the GOTY discussions ;3
