Choose Our Own Adventure!: 10/20/2015 (Life is Strange)

I finished this game last night. I really enjoyed it. The BEast guys need to keep playing.

@exiledvip3r: Last episode I thought they were well on their way to saving Kate, but now I'm not so sure. But I agree if anyone can get them through this it's @austin_walker, we're counting on you guy!

Yeah, PM me, I totally forget which thing specifically you're referring to.

Oh, what a surprise. People are arguing in the comments section. Life truly is strange.

This is great. I was so drunk when I played through these episodes I don't really remember what was going on.

Thanks Alex now i have to go listen to Sun Kil Moon again. I hate you.

Oh man, loved the discussion/squirming by three well meaning guys about the tough issues here, seriously. Very cool.

I also can't play the HD download.

1. when was it said this was going to be something different every week? Never.. That may be what some of you wanted but was never said by anyone.

2. Stating that people getting upset at being called a cult means they are in a cult is ridiculous. Especially on the internet where there is no tone of voice or body language it is more than likely calling someone a cult will be insulting. You should still be able to do it of course but don't act like it is not meant to be insulting.

3. If they only played part of a game and then always switched to something else the next week this would just be a voted on quick look. That seems like a rather silly idea.

Yeah, this is really something else. What is going on?!

The same thing that happens in most comment sections. Someone says something divisive and it causes a disproportionate amount of hostility in some people, whether it be the fault of how the point was presented (which I'm willing to admit) or how others choose to interpret it.

Enough people have understood and agreed with my point that I'm not going to keep quote-battling every person that doesn't. People should be using this to discuss the game and what's happening in the video and by offering my opinion on the feature, it started this whole big thing where I guess people actually believe that I think Life in Strange fans are a literal, hood-wearing cult and it sort of high-jacked the comments. Certainly wasn't my intention, but that's the internet for you.

So am I

Hope this is fixed at some point. Was really looking forward to part 2, but the video freezes 5 seconds in for me as well.

I watched half the video & now it won't resume (or play from any part).

@excast: @ethanielrain:

Switch to progressive instead of streaming in the settings of the video

@excast: switch from streaming to html or progressive in the video settings, that worked for me on this one

@pyrodactyl@nickl

Danke

Switching to the progressive setting helped me with the five second issue.

This is great, i hope you continue with this game.

Damn, I must have missed the live stream. Oh well, now I have something to watch this evening during dinner!

Seems broken. Made it 6 seconds in before it crashed on 2 separate computers.

I Got You Babe is from Groundhog Day. It plays every morning.

@seductiveunicorn: same here

Loving this series, but I really wish they'd do one LiS episode per video solely because this game has some amazing cliffhangers that are perfect to leave off on and ruminate over for a few days.

FINISH THIS GAME

Can't really get this to play properly--some kind of re-upload / repair maybe? Thanks!

HD download looks to be broken.

Thank you!

Same. Don't get me wrong, I like when they riff on goofier games like Contradiction, but I also like to see things get a bit more real. Stripping away that "make fun of everything" exterior.

HD broken for me with all options. Using Chrome on Windows 10.

I'm kinda sad none of them got the R.J. MacReady reference for the fisherman. Though I'm not totally sure why the developers decided to use it on that character in this kind of game. Unless the dude has to torch somebody later that is.

I'm guessing there was some kind of issue with the capture.

@cabelhigh: same here

neither did they imply it was "pick which game we're going to have to play through the entirety of." and it doesn't sound like i'm the only one who thought this series would have a bit of variety to it; nothing silly about that idea, just a matter of taste. but i guess the beastcrew already made their choice on what kind of series it will be. i'm a bit disappointed but i guess it's up to them, and content's content.

Video is broken :(

I was kind of in the same rut but I played the first and about half of the second episode before watching this. Things really pick up in a lot of ways in the first area of the second episode. After that if you still don't like it, then maybe give up. But shit gets real.

Definitely watching this tonight. Just completed the series. Was amazing.

"Trust no one" grafitti, where are we, Gravity Falls?

... Shit, this game might be in Gravity Falls.

For anyone who was wondering, fluoxetine is the generic name for prozac. Its an anti-depressant

I got you babe is apropos of Groundhog Day.

I swear if vortex is atlas...

I feel kind of bad that I was shouting "Alt J" at the computer when they were trying to name the singer.

@cabelhigh: Still broken for me too.

I've tried downloading the HD version of this twice and it's produced an unplayable file both times. I'm downloading the "High" quality version now and it's 3.2 GB compared to 4 GB for the HD version, which I'm guessing is too small for the increase in resolution between the two versions.

I really like this game, but I hope they won't play it next week - on account of the fact that if you don't do enough/pay attention/remember a bunch of stuff, the ending of episode 2 can be bad.

yeah, im glad i never got into life is strange. its just so...teenagers. i cant stand that. but for some weird reason, this is making me want to watch donny darko. hmm.

Thanks for continuing with this guys. It means a lot to me.

Is the HD version fixed yet?
