madsen is an asshole. but in the end that probably hurts chloe too much.

i'm going with nathan, because i'd rather keep jefferson's trust for now - don't wanna make an enemy of a serial killer - and don't want to throw chloe to the wolves

bradley has never been particularly efficient as a scorer. he doesn't shoot FTs and he can't really dribble or distribute. reggie jackson being out hurts him as much as it hurts anyone. he's generally improved marginally at shooting each year he's been in the league but his bread and butter shot is a curl 16- to 18-footer - which leaves him very vulnerable to streakiness

oh man you are well into season 2 now

as much as i disagree with so many of your gripes about high school, yeahh.... charisma doesn't have a lot going on here

just fyi dick and beaver are nicknames

yeah i know they're nicknames, but that pairing is hilarious

I guess the show seems like it's so obviously uninterested in the high school parts. The setting is used to mine the most cliche/melodramatic tropes as drama and as a way for Veronica to be "so cool."

That said, Dick/Beaver/Krysten Ritter have been making high school way more enjoyable this season.

Two more episodes down the hatch since the last update, 2x05 and 2x06. Looks like Charisma Carpenter will be sticking around for a while ("It feels so good to be with you... I just want to be with you all the time" LOL), and this crime thing with Logan is gonna persist.

I love how in network TV, regulars can just go MIA sometimes. Wallace is flagrantly only gone temporarily. Meanwhile, I'm very happy not to see Weevil during these episodes.

Also love: Veronica quoting The Big Lebowski, Krysten Ritter ("I used to be funny at my old school"), a divorced teacher making a 'dat ass' face and later checking out her boobs in her dress, Sheriff Lamb's affection for abused children as he stakes out Meg's parents' house.

Don't like: How suddenly Keith loses the election, Abel Koontz's daughter being killed. The former kind of smashes hope, while the latter is just exploitatively mean. Also, Logan's relationship with Veronica going back to exactly the way it was is unenjoyable.

Veronica babysits for a random Hillary Clinton-looking mom this episode. I'm like 95% confident she was the school board mom in Season 1, but I'm not sure this fact is referenced?

I'm not crazy about the "game-y" aspect of it - possibly my least favorite part of the game so far was searching for those bottles. That said, I love the concept, the characters (notably, Max/Victoria/Chloe), and especially the writing details - the texts are witty and feel authentic; the diary is spot on; Max's internal monologue as we observe stuff is brilliant.

The storyline is still a little up for grabs, but yeah, definitely finding the experience worth my time so far.

yet all sailors of all sorts are more or less capricious and unreliable - they live in the varying outer weather, and they inhale its fickleness

9. Chloe is an incredibly fleshed out character. She's got the attitude and it's legit; she's got the look and the toughness down. There's a reason she's been victimized so much - she's impulsive and reckless. (Max is literally bleeding after demonstrating her powers in the diner, and you're still pushing her to use them so you can shoot around?) She's contagious and she makes you feel good about yourself when she's good to you and she has amazing highs, and it's crushing when she loses the sanctuary of the junkyard.

But she's needy to the point of childishness, and her emotional and physical vulnerabilities are always at the forefront of the game. Her voice-acting is a little off-putting in its tone and speed of delivery, but when you think about it, it fits Chloe perfectly. She always sounds somewhat monotonous and muted, to show off her too-cool-for-school 'tude, yet the words come out quickly, because she's intrinsically insecure. It's nuts how upset she gets when we take the call from Kate, and a beautiful rush of endorphins when she thanks us for pulling the trigger on Frank. "My powers may not last forever," says Max. "That's all right," Chloe assures her, "We will."

Let's let the wonderful Max explain: "I'm not a fan of Chloe's petulant side. She tried to make me feel like an ass, but screw that. Kate was so happy I answered I actually felt worse for her. Chloe has to know I can have two friends at once..."
10. It might be too late to salvage David Madsen, but he's considerably less of a douche to Max this episode. Plus, he has Chloe's mom and the cop at the diner vouching for him. He might wind up being right - after all, he's the only photographer in the game, other than our lovely protagonist.

11. Fuck the bottle fetchquest. That was some serious bullshit - took me like half an hour with no noticeable benefit.

Decisions

* Watered the plant.
* Told Kate to call the cops.
* Befriended Victoria's bitches.
* Answered Kate's phone call.
* Tried to shoot Frank.
* Owned the joint to David Madsen the second time.
* Kept quiet to Mr. Jefferson.

Odds and ends

* "My guitar gently sleeps."
* Among Warren's recommendations for movies to watch is Pulp Fiction. I don't know about its relevance to time travel, but if I could rewind time I'd probably watch that movie once a day.
* "BEGONE, foul soft drink!"
* Max wants to read way more Bradbury and likes to quote Kerouac. Chloe geeks out about strange attractors. I love how the game is never critical of its characters' intellect and knowledge.
* "I SHOT MYSELF!" I laughed way too hard at this.

ONGOING MYSTERIES

* What's up with the snow and the tornado warning?
* What happened to Rachel Amber?
* What happened to Kate?
* How does Frank have the bracelet?

SPECULATION

* Professor Jefferson seems like a leading candidate for the disappearance of Rachel. He's extremely prominent, but he was rumored to be banging Rachel, and he insists that Rachel is nothing like Kate. He's also unhelpful if we mention Nathan with the gun, so he's not entirely pro-Max. Max's crush aside, dude is creepy as fuck.

So, Tuesday. I'm not quite done yet - just getting seated in class. But tons to cover here.

This game is really cinematic when it wants to be. Granted, it's mainly in the cutscenes. The only other game I've played with this sense of cinematography was MGS3, though of course that game is an action game, with lots of James Bond-esque inspiration to draw upon. Life Is Strange's second episode has us opening with a beautiful melody as we wake up in bed, first hitting an alarm clock in the darkness before we open our eyes.

So we're up and out, and it looks like we've spent the previous night taking advantage of Warren's crush on us by pumping him for information on time travel and quantum physics - movies, websites, and books have all been pointing us in this direction. Also, according to our phone, we're gonna be meeting up with Chloe yeaaah baby. BTW Chloe's text game is so strong. Aside from NO EMOJIS, here's a sample:

u there hippe
what about that fucking snow
what about your new power
or have you gone back in time and figured it out

More of the game's sharp writing - our journal, in which we describe our situation as a "Groundhog Day-ja vue." TBH, reading Max's journal is almost more fun than the game itself. It certainly does a better job recapping than I do. With this in mind, I'll just focus on the points of interest.

1. The hallway is brimming with gossip and opportunities to save Alyssa some more. Max thinks that we should be better friends with Alyssa, but we're soooo far above that level now. (Our choices for best sci-fi movie include Back to the Future, Groundhog Day.) Notably, Max's whiteboard now has a big blank face on it, which cracks me up with its unexpectedness.

2. We're taking Kate's side, because I'm a huge fucking white knight. I figured that the cops would be unhelpful, but telling Kate to keep quiet and search for evidence makes her hate us. We even wind up taking her call while we're with Chloe, even though this means causing issues with Chloe. Plus, there were drugs at a party - I totally want in on the Veronica Mars setup!

3. Still #TeamVictoria, though so far I haven't gotten any chances to make choices that affect her. This week in petty bullying: making fun of Kate in the bathroom, trashing her friend - "You can hang out with Kate... or Max" - but perhaps least acceptably, buddying up with Nathan. You can do better, Vicky. At least she delivers this line: "Max thought we were gonna be buds... fucking ha ha!"

4. Also, Taylor is so great. She's the beta bitch to Victoria, but she still knows not to buddy up to Max. "Hi Taylor," we say to her. "Hi Taylor," she instinctively says, in as mocking a tone as possible. We subdue both her and Courtney, Victoria's other bitch, by using their knowledge against them.

5. In uncompelling but entertaining love-triangle-land, everyone knows about Brooke's crush, and she makes no secret of it. "You might make Brooke jealous," warns Alyssa. Max diplomatically demures: "I'll just pretend I have no idea what you mean." Meanwhile, Brooke herself is immensely self-satisfied when we explain that Warren is our friend and not our mother - "Warren loves talking metereology with me, since I'm one of the few who can talk back."

6. Meanwhile, poor Mr. Friendzone is getting shut down hard on his date attempt. Let's let Max take this one away: "He would want to marry me immediately... Or capture me for scientific experimenets... Or make me go to the drive-in with him."

7. That Samuel dude is a mega-fucking-creep, Jesus. Literally pics of Rachel in his masturbation-cave janitor's closet. That's on top of looking like a serial killer. Also creepy: sketch guy, still.

8. Getting onto the bus, it's a montage of suburban decay. This episode shows us the decline of fishermen, the incoming douche-y truck drivers, the sad truth that even a junkyard sanctuary can be violated.

LeonhartFour posted...

also Phoenix's 6-6 characterization feels a little off too because he's never been a "I'm just doing my job" guy and he consistently falls back on that when he's doing something others find unpleasant (like Phoenix thinking for a while that Sorin might be the killer)

like even in 2-4 and 6-5 Phoenix never falls back on "this is just my job"

i liked this tbh. sometimes the truth is devastating, and the only way phoenix ever wins cases is by stumbling upon the truth, even if sometimes it's painful (2-3)

I haven't watched the Raptors this season (and missed the November game they played in Boston), but from what I've heard, word on the street is they're ranking a lot higher in team passing numbers this year than in years past. I'd thought of them as shitty-Thunder-East in past years due to their offense's tendency to clog the toilet - apparently Dwane Casey, one of the longest-tenured coaches, has helped turn that around.

wiz have been dealing with injury and they're one game out of the 4th spot - which is where they were last year. raps had the 3rd seed last year too.

the only real difference is that miami is occupying that 4th spot!

charlotte being as bad as it is i guess is a bit of a surprise. but not too much - that franchise is very depressingly lacking in talent.

Raptors ascended into the top 3 of the East, which is probably the biggest surprise really behind Indiana. Heat quietly went back up but then again this is largely the same team that closed out at 30-11 at the second half of last season

indy and miami being this high are much more surprising to me

Season 2, Episode 5

Recap: Jackie asks Veronica to investigate credit card fraud. Turns out she was just punking Veronica out of jealousy over Wallace. Wallace, fed up with everything, runs off with his dad. Keith's campaign versus Lamb heats up.

I don't have my notes here, but I'm enjoying the feeling of escalation here. Not so much the Wallace's dad angle - y'all can miss me with the "My life was a lie!!!" stuff and with Keith getting mad at Wallace's mom for hiding stuff and her getting mad at him for stealing documents from her. But the stress that Wallace undergoes finally gives him something to do other than be Veronica's lap dog, which is nice.

Also Veronica literally bugging a sheriff's office for political gain, yeesh.

The pace is plodding, but I'm progressing!

So down the stairs we go. All around, essentially, are signs of a household in decay. The only anything that seems new is the sporty car. Oh, and the guns. Otherwise, sepia tones overwhelm us. Max still recognizes virtually all the furniture, and Chloe's mom is still a waitress. The books on the occasional shelf haven't been touched in years. We head outside, and Max wonders sadly whether anyone since Chloe's dad has used the grill. My favorite part here is sitting on the swing - which triggers memories of a conversation long ago. They were such BFFs!

Oh, and to make things "better," the new dad is David Madsen. (I thought photos confirmed that the stepdad wasn't David Madsen. Obivously, I was wrong!) The description of the fascist state definitely makes more sense. This dude keeps cameras trained on zones in his own house, which is creepy enough - but it's far worse when we knock over some stuff reaching for some files on a high shelf. Apparently, Madsen has been stalking Kate for some time now, convinced that she "knows something." The angles of the photos strongly suggest that he's already implemented some Big Brother tools at school and is looking to legitimize or expand them. I'm not ready to write it off as pointless paranoia just yet, since life is strange and all, but yeesh. Anyway, there's a fun little puzzle to grab the tools, involving a washing machine and a cardboard box.

Back in Chloe's room, we attempt to assemble the camera but Max is about as adept with manual labor as I am. But Chloe discovers that we were the ones who saved her ass from Nathan. (Seriously, how was I supposed to recognize that?) We take a pic of Chloe dancing - I love Max's dainty little shaking of her Polaroids.

In comes our third confrontation with David Madsen in the very short span I've already played this game. I actually fail to get in the closet the first time due to the stupid lamp (thanks, frustrating game!) but I manage to hide properly the second. I wind up outing myself anyway to take the joint it - better to absorb the blow as someone who needs only see the guy on campus, outside of class, rather than being terrified in her own home.

After that, Chloe's all over us, but Max asks Chloe to keep it in her pants. So she takes us somewhere else to loosen us up.

Consequential decisions
* Did not save the knocked over stuff in the garage
* Turned off all the lights and closed all the windows I opened
* Stuck up for Chloe vs her dad
* Didn't realize that you were supposed to rewind time to save the bird. :(

Thoughts

* On the swings, we recall the conversation between Max and Chloe so long ago. From the beginning, Max says she wants to get far away. Chloe insists, "Far away? From me? Thanks a lot." She's always been insecure about being left alone. I know that feel. :(

* Madsen is incredibly unlikable, and while the game has done a good job with establishing him as a jerk, I'd say we've had too much of him for now. "I ordered! -- I asked you..." goes his phone call. "Oh."

* Chloe on gun control: "I believe I should control the guns."

Not a ton of progress last night on the Strange Life front.

Our mission is to delivered the flash drive to Warren (who definitely has an unrequited crush on Max, alas). But first, we confirm that Zach really is a douche as he kicks a ball at Awkward Alyssa and then blows off Max while she walks by him. Jerkass security guy David continues to be a jerkass, so we rescue Kate from him.

The parking lot is fairly barren, with flyers everywhere. My favorite part is that when we draw on the dusty window, we officially turn it into a dusty window, while the game manages to spark my ire successfully with a truck taking up two handicapped spots. We console Juliet about Victoria's schemes and then move to watching Warren try to control his mammoth crush... which ends with the unhinged murderer dude whose name I forget reappearing. Ick.

Anyway, this is Chloe! It's unclear why Max ghosted her, and Chloe is rightfully bitter. Seems that since her days of cavorting with Max and drawing comics, she's become a major stoner, dropped out of school, taken Rachel as a lover (and printed those flyers), and associated her stepdad with a Nazi. Just the typical path of an adolescent in suburban ennui - drugs, apathy, lesbianism, Godwin's Law. We go absolutely ham on tearing her room apart, looking for clues, or something.

After that, a bit of poking around Chloe's house. The most notable thing by far is that there are dog tags with the name of David Madsen - I believe the security guy from the campus here, but Max seems surprisingly un-freaked-out about this. So he's probably not entirely plot-insignificant. We'll dig in to repair our camera soon.

Consequential decisions

- Saved the purple-haired girl from a football hitting her in the head
- Stuck up for Kate, who was getting bullied by the security guy
- Drew on the dusty window
- Opened Chloe's box, spilling stuff everywhere
- Opened the window in Chloe's mom's room (I wasn't able to help the bird though? Couldn't figure this out.)

The Spoils of Diplomacy

- Victoria says THANKS BUT WE'RE STILL NOT FRIENDS.

- Should I be Team Victoria or Team Chloe? Victoria has showed a lot more panache, but Chloe has been hyped for a long time and clearly has more to explore. I don't think Team Alyssa is an option right now. I might be friends iwth her IRL, but Max appears to be way out of her league.

- I'm guessing Warren will inevitably wind up paired with drone-girl. For all the buildup, he hasn't shown much yet. Chloe already seems leagues more itneresting.
