The Warren revelations are weirding me out. Even if Max were to like him, jesus man, give her space and don't be waiting around her dorm in the early morning. You'll see her around if she cares. I didn't notice at the end of ep 2
I'll be looking for it when I replay and reject his invitation as well.
that Warren was holding Alyssa.

so.. finished both episodes yesterday.
Overall I like both episodes just as much.
I managed to save Kate at the end. Still, I don`t think she has been totally honest with Max. She was last seen crying after talking to Mr.Jefferson before attempting suicide. We still have no clue what it really was about. He seems sketchy.
Anyway, I blamed it on Nathan. According Victoria, Nathan did drug Kate, which led to the viral video. On top of that, he had the courage to threaten a time rewinding chick. Hah.
I also rejected Warren`s invitation. I get the vibe that Brooke is jealous of max and I didn't want Max to get into more trouble than she was.

Episode 2 Spoilers
Really interesting how many different moments we had even in situations were we did mostly the same thing, very impressive.
I managed to Save Kate because I take forever browsing every area so I knew how to help her, I got all the optional photos and I basically got Nathan suspended at the end, my girlfriend didn't tell the principle in the beginning about Nathan, so her dorm didn't get vandalized after the showers, but she found out that if she finally let them know about the gun, both Nathan and Max get suspended, so she instead went with Jefferson not being responsible enough about Kate instead.
Oh I turned down Warren because I was Paranoid going with him might hinder the friendship with Chloe, so he loses out, but I would like to set him up with Brooke anyway.

Ohhhhh shit!
Also Dana's dorm music if anyone wants to listen, no idea the actual track names.
Edit: I was just replaying and.....
Thank you so much for uploading those songs in Dana room! I tried using Shazam and it didn't work. I tried writing down the lyrics and use Google and got nothing in return. Must be on the soundtrack on the game.

She looks like fun, but she strikes me as someone who does a bunch of crazy shit in her teenage years (which, well, is accurate), goes to jail, and graduates "the school of life" while working at a truck stop the rest of her life.
She looks like the cool chick I always wanted to know in highschool, but as you grow up loses its charm. x)

No I will take her in and she will turn her life around.

I hope they are gearing up for actually being honest about what a loser Warren is. The first episode where he sends you 20 text messages at once and Max is just like "Oh silly Warren" made me think they were unaware of how it comes off. Hopefully him being a stalker means they aren't.
I want them to destroy the mental state of betas trying to use this game to finally get a girl.

One thing I don't like is that Max seems to have an opinion about every goddamned person, thing, and happening but you really don't get much 'intel' on what she feels about Warren. Not sure whether it's intentional or not, whether it's saved for the "choose your own ending" butterfly effect, or if it's gonna indeed be some spoiler thing where he flips out on your asking why nothing works.
NO EMOJI

Man this game has difficult choices.
. How far through the episode am I? It's sooooo good, I don't want it to end.
either blame Kate's suicide attempt on Nathan, David, or Mr. Jefferson. What do I do?!?!? Ugh... such a difficult choice. I really want to blame it on Nathan, since this is like 95% his fault, but after his threats to me and the fact that I can't provide any evidence of him drugging Kate... I don't know what to do.
I'm so glad I saved Kate though
you're pretty much done
I guess I prefer a stalker than someone
playing around with a gun and tried to abuse Max power for fun
like the phone call of Kate.
(he got beaten for Max sake in ep 1), I just dislike the fact that he wanted to invite Brooke, though.
I never saw Warren as stalkerish as I did awkward and a little dumb about how to handle things. Dude just seems like he really likes Max but has absolutely no idea how to go about it.
I'm gonna give the guy a shot. It's not like anything can happen anyway with my main character shield.
^^Post above me gets it. Chloe is really whiny and annoying and I just generally don't like her. At least Warren is trying to be nice in the only way his inexperienced little mind can muster. Double edit: well apart from her texts. NO EMOJI

Chloe is the worst. I like Kate, but I'm pretty sure she's lying about... everything? I think I like Warren, but I feel like it might turn out that he's actually a jerk.
I feel like everyone in the damn game is flawed. Which I guess is what makes them interesting? If it turns out Warren is messing Max around, I'm going to smash his face in.

Yeah, I spotted Warren outside when I was playing.
I dunno. It would be kind of interesting to have him be more than a romantic foil, to be more of a fairly human jerk. I would then hope they don't go for a "let me make it up to you" sacrifice play though.

Did a collectable runthrough this morning to get all the photos, but despite my best efforts, I don't think I saw Warren. I think I did something wrong.

Not sure who did it but I laughed when Warren friended me on steam
No we aren't friends Warren, you are weird
hemo memo
You can't die before your death
If you hear the conversation he thinks its her way to gain attention and he can't do anything about it or that what I understood. And then talking on the phone with a weird conversation that's why he was irritated when entering the class I think. And with David suspecting she's hiding something
I don't know, something is really off. :/
Hey so apparently there is
(link - warning, spoilers) in this episode, did anybody see this? Was it in the credits or something?
Also, all of you people who blamed
at the end of episode 2, did you manage to get some proof somehow or something? Because I figured that making accusations that weren't backed up by any sort of evidence was pretty pointless, which is why I blamed
as I had
as evidence.
contact information for suicide hotlines
Also, all of you people who blamed
Nathan
David
the photo of him hassling Kate from episode 1
I kinda got those vibes too, I just think she doesn't want to talk about the whole thing because it is something she emotionally can't handle.
After the ep3 preview there's scrolling text saying something like
"If you're affected by any of the content in this episode please visit http://lifeisstrange.com/talk/".

i feel like so many people are misunderstanding Chloe
I don't personally like her character, but I like seeing Max with her. She seems to enjoy herself around her. So yeah, #teamnoemoji.
Has it ever been explained why Max never contacted Chloe after moving to Seattle?

No, but he acted suspect anyway.
Victim blaming and shit, acting like he already had his lawyer ready to shut down the school. Dude raped Kate he deserves to rot in hell.
No one hurts Kate, not on my watch.

IIRC her diary said something about her just not caring that much about calling Chloe, then feeling bad about it. You know, like what happens to all of us.

Enjoyed the episode, but Chloe is just a hot mess staggering from one fuck up to the next, and her hold over Max seems to be a mixture of nostalgia guilt tripping and 'you saved my life..now you owe me'. They really need to turn her around in the coming episodes because I don't find her particularly like-able at this juncture.
I think they just didn't do a good job at presenting how close they were during their childhood, like Max do enjoy herself with Chloe and she mentions it at times, but those were mostly in cutscenes and the rest are Chloe manipulating Max into using her power or that she gets pissy with her and forcing her to make dialogue choices.

Just finished Episode 2. This series has balls of steel to go where it goes. I'm shocked they went to the places they did.
SPOILERS for Episode 2
I thought Ep 1 would've been hard to top, but they really nailed it here, too. Astounding work.
SPOILERS for Episode 2
Seeing Kate jump was fucking horrifying. I was terrified that they were going to have the rewind keep failing so you just couldn't save her, which would make Max blame Chloe because she wanted to play. Seeing the first fall was harrowing; the rewind is much, much worse though. An excellent use of the mechanic to display helplessness, even when you can rewind time.
It seems Max's powers unlock through trauma/potentially fatal situations for others. I wonder if there will be more there?
I blamed Nathan because fuck you Nathan. Get suspended.

No but I really want to see him go super saiyan. When he's in his final form, he can come at me.

My wife has been talking up this game for weeks now, I finally finished both episodes earlier today. I hated the first 90 min or so of episode 1, I almost quit. I'm glad I stuck with it because I absolutely love it now.
Ep2 end spoilers:
Ep2 end spoilers:
I saved Kate! First try. Got lucky with the last dialogue choice, I had to pick between the family members and hadn't paid enough attn to it. I was able to remove some of the choices but it came down to a guess between brothers and sisters. I went with sisters which set me up for the save, close one!

Noticed somebody through the window at first but thought he/she kept walking, then I see that screen posted above and go back in-game to confirm... Yeeeaaah.... as long as I'm in control, you're staying the fuck away from Max, Warren. "Did no one ever teach you that it's rude to stalk someone outside their window?"
I noticed you can check your journal during that conversation (and all conversations?) so I made sure to double check the quotes right then in order to get it right.
I saved Kate my first time, blamed Nathan, and said yes to Warren. I didn't get invited to the Vortex Club party, kinda feels like I should go back and fix that, but it's probably no big deal for future episodes.
I really, really just want to reiterate how good that conversation with
Super excited for Episode 3
Kate was. I'm hard-pressed to think of any other game out there right now where little things you did actually matter (erasing the board, the link, reading stuff in her room). I really can't praise them enough for getting it right.
though I definitely have to go back and turn down Warren. I thought we were just seeing a movie!
Just finished Episode 2 a few minutes ago. Here is how my playthrough went.
Now some thoughts:
*Told Kate to wait for more proof.
*Answered Kate's call at the restaurant.
*I gave the gun to Frank.
*I saved Kate.
*I blamed Nathan.
*Watered my plant.
*Didn't help Alyssa (On what?)
*Erased the link to Kate's video on the bathroom mirror.
*I wasn't friendly with Taylor (Didn't notice her...)
*I accepted Warren's invitation.
*I wrote "Max was here" on the wall.
*I moved the railtracks (I'm SURE this one will backfire HARD on the next episode).
*Didn't gain entry to the Vortex Party (I'm sure I might regret this one next episode)
*I didn't help Warren with his experiment (But how? I'm sure I did help him!)
*I accused David to Mr. Jefferson.

Now some thoughts:
I think Nathan is becoming the easy target for a villain, and I've been blaming and confronting him during both episodes. I even blamed him in the end. But somehow I think this is not the right answer. It would be too easy, too "obvious". And also, even if the game tries REAL HARD to paint David as a bad guy, something tells me he is actually one of the good guys...

Yeah, I have a feeling the game is setting up for some red herring or some ambiguously "evil" plot twists.
I actually don't think Chloe's step-dad is a freak/ass/stalker but trying to crack his own mystery.... but feel free to quote, point, and laugh when if proven wrong

i feel like so many people are misunderstanding Chloe
I get that she is a deeply flawed character, but her sections in episode 2 paints her in an awful light. Admittedly, one part of it really made me sour due to its tedious nature. Though, based on what they did to David in this episode, they probably quickly brush Chloe in a positive light as they did for him.
Her section could've been more tolerable to me if they had balance her selfishness with little things like
properly guide Max how to use a gun's safety switch,sight and etc in a Ghost pottery wheel scene fashion. During the junkyard section, wipe Max's nose bleed with a tissue or just give a tissue or something cause goddamnit. [not sure if there;s bleeding in that section when I think about it... ] Max shouldn't wipe her nose like a barbarian. Then show some concern that using Max's powers is hurting Max and maybe state that using it as a toy might not have been a good idea. Although, the last part might be out of character at this current point since that demonstrates a moderate level of constraint.
Anyways, in my main play-through I'm going for the long haul no-snitching unless necessary and deep penetration into the Vortex Club. So it is pretty easy to tell who I picked at the end. So Max might not be in
San Fran.

WTF?! I did all of those word for word
and she still jumped. I guess saying "Suicide is a sin" might have been the cause of it.
