Like you can either smooch him or Cassidy the guitar player.īrendan: I got very bi vibes from him the moment he was throwing knives.Īlice Bee: Ah yeah, I was just looking at him as a secondary villain, and therefore didn’t think Daniel would be exploring sexuality with him. I didn’t realise you had the option to sort of romance him until the end, though. But then of course, this is a halfchoose-your-own-adventure story, so it happens anyway.Īlice Bee: Yeah I already knew Finn was going to go full softboi-scumbag anyway. Did you agree to the plan or not?īrendan: I said: “Naw thanks mate I’d rather not get my brother shot in the eyes cheers”. So then the arbitrary climax is Finn using Daniel as a safe exploder in a plan to steal all Merrill’s money. Like, you hear some phone calls and stuff he’s having with his clients (presumably even badder dudes) but that doesn’t give him much reason to be as pointlessly ruthless as he is towards the end.Īlice Bee: Yeah he’s really mad at Daniel just, like, being around, which culminates in the Diaz brothers getting fired and everyone else not getting paid for that week. Merrill was rubbish, he was just this bad drug dude who never really had a motivation (that we could see) to be bad. The conflict with them seemed a bit bolted on, or at least less thoroughly thought out than the Weeders.īrendan: Good point. I think my main complaint about this episode is Merrill the drug farmer and his henchman. It felt like a really low-stakes Walking Dead from Telltale in parts, but with a Danish couple arguing in the back of a pick-up truck instead of two angry dudes pointing guns at each other.Īlice Bee: There aren’t zero angry dudes pointing guns. So far this has been the episode where I looked at the characters and thought: “Yeah, that’s a person I know.” I was glad there were so many new faces around this campsite, and they all bounced off each other. ![]() The Weeders (as I thought of them) are a bunch of almost-adults suffering a kind of arrested development, but to the Diaz brothers they sort of seem like sensible grownups to emulate.īrendan: I didn’t dislike Finn so much, because I felt like he was a well-observed character. I thought it was a good… not exactly a parallel to the brothers, but an image of what they could become, almost. White lads with dreadlocks are a surefire way to make 99% of your audience go “ugh”.Īlice Bee: He’s just the worst! This de facto leader of a group because he spouts stuff that sounds almost meaningful! And he totally turns Daniel against Sean. I’ve learned to check the journal as soon as I start these episodes, because it’s full of fill-in-the-blanks drawings and a little map showing the boys’ journey.Īlice Bee: I think I liked this episode the most so far, but sort of because I had the strongest reaction to it. ![]() Sean Diaz wakes up in a tent and the first thing you note is how shaggy and long his hair is, and how grubby his clothes are. It turns out that they’ve been living with Chekov’s Drifters in a commune in the woods, and working at a secret weed farm.īrendan: It certainly drops you right into things. They should be okay now, right?Īlice Bee: One would hope! I was surprised because this episode opens with a sizeable time jump of a couple of months. A wee lad called Christopher was run over by the police.Their grandad’s leg was smashed to bits by a wardrobe.Diaz the elder was tied up by a petrol station racist but escaped.Diaz the younger exploded the policeman.Whoa.īrendan: Let’s recap: The Diaz brothers have so far suffered the following: ![]() It’s called Wastelands, which I think might have a double meaning of some kind.īrendan: Oh wow, it does. Why don’t you spark up a massive spliffer of weed-grass and join me here to talk about Life Is Strange 2: Episode 3.
