Warren is just misguided. Give him 5 years, he'll be just as cold and broken as the rest of us.
God I wish it could be vinny and Dave playing through that though

Keifer Sutherland must smell better than that bottled open sewage, I'll bet.
Fixed.
It was on sale on steam like a month ago. I bought the first episode to check if I liked the game. Then I missed the sale on rest of the episodes
It wasn't a big sale, 25% off I think.AWizardDidIt

LiS is one of those games where even though I've played every released episode so far, I'm excited to see others play it. Plus I'd love to see it come up during GOTY deliberations, at least for a story nod at the end of the year.

The Spirits Within stuff, whatever. The biggest discrepancy between real life and Life is Strange is that instant photography is HELLA expensive these days. Like Vinny was saying, Polaroid stopped making film for their instant cameras a while ago, and a company called "The Impossible Project" bought one of their old factories and had to re-create the film from scratch (they also are inferior in some aspects, because they take like twice as long to develop).
The result is $30 for a pack of 8 shots. Max has like $600 worth of photos hanging on her wall, and she wastes so many shots on selfies and squirrels.
...I learned all this because I briefly picked up instant photography as a result of Life is Strange... Life is Strange is probably the most expensive $20 game I've ever purchased...

I've seen it hit 25% off a few times. I've just always been too busy with other games to really think about picking it up. If it hits the holiday sale this year, I'll almost certainly grab it.
When did Polaroid actually stop making it? I think people said the game is actually taking place in 2013. Maybe she bought a bunch of old stock at the end and is just burning through it? (Overanalyzing a game that most certainly did not think about this aspect haha).
Warren is interesting because Dontnod is basically getting a sizeable chunk of their audience to hate themselves as teenagers.

Most expensive game for me? The Witcher 3.
Not an Alfredo-tier tale, but whatevs.
I bought a graphics card that could run it.

What? What kind of potato GPU did you buy that couldn't run it?
Most expensive game this year for me is probably one of the 4 vita games I'm going to play the rest of this year(The 2 LoH games, Corpse Party and Danganronpa AE), since I just broke my vita and I need to buy a new one.
I guess the Witcher and MGSV could count since I bought a whole new PC this year, but I could've easily played those on console and probably would have built my new PC regardless. It was time.
Who doesn't hate themselves as teenagers? Honestly, everyone does a sizable amount of dumb shit when they're that age. I can't imagine looking back on that and saying "I totally want to be that person again".

I had what came with my computer, an AMD Radeon 7770.
It was time to get with the times.

Life is Strange is the best game released this year. Vinny seems like the type who will fall in love with it.

I did forget about Warren's texts.
Yeah, fuck Warren.
Yeah, fuck Warren.
I think if you're lucky, you can find Polaroid film that expired in like 2010. Expired film has the possibility of still working, but it depends on if it was stored properly. Even so, expired film still goes for a lot of money on eBay, with no guarantee on functionality.
Maybe she gets the film at a discount coming from her school. I don't know. It's still messed up! I even bought an instant camera that didn't come with a built-in flash, so I also have to buy disposable flash bulbs which they also don't make anymore! Though they are much cheaper than film, and it's kind of fun to open up "brand new" packages that are, like, decades old.
I can agree with this. I see a lot of my teenage self in Warren, and it makes me hate him MORE. lol

The best part about working in my undergrad biology lab is that imaging for some of our microscopy hadn't yet migrated over to computer generation, so there was a huge storage cooler full of old Polaroid film for large printing.
Warren in 5 years:
Fuck Warren.
mmm whatcha say~
I'm an hour into the LiS stream now and I'm loving their reactions to this game. It's perfect. They're going to have a lot of fun with this.
They actually removed it?
To answer your question, Jeff did get mad that they used his likeness without even talking to him.
He or more maybe CBSi probably contacted them. Jeff seemed annoyed that they used his likeness in promotional material for their game without asking him first. Which, especially as someone who's supposed to cover that game, I can totally understand.
They took it down and uploaded a version without the Tracksuit shot.

Wait, that was a real video for a real game? I assumed it was from that crazy twitch video game wrestling thing and that Jeff was faux-angry about it.
...any mirrors?

They still make Fuji Instamax and it's cheaper.

Only $16 for 20 shots!

Great work.
It's so randomly thrown in...
I feel like Giant Bomb will be in a position to buy the WWE eventually, and they'll pass on it. Such is wrestling's fate.
That pic just reminds me that the most badass armor in the whole game is the starting set. Wish they'd have made a more powerful version of that.

I was just at a large corporate party in Vegas (humble brag) and they had people taking pictures with this type of instant film. People had no idea how to react to being handed back a picture instead of a code or something.

Does anyone know the times to sync up the Periscope archive and Patrick's Part 2 episode from today? I know the Periscope isn't the whole thing but it's really when Dan was most active and I missed a lot of what was going on because I couldn't get the syncing to work while Patrick was streaming last night.

So GBEast are doing something with Life is Strange? If so, that's incredibly exciting. LiS is in the running for my GOTY right now and I know they will love it and hopefully fight for it at the GB GOTY deliberations.
