Episode 91 - Weed Economist - Life is Strange 2

Time to take the microphone, dude. Welcome back to the podcast this
week! Today we’re vising the world of Life is Strange again to
cover the sequel, but things are a little different this time.
First, we have two guest hosts today, returning favorites Dan and
Janelle. And second, this time around things are a lot less “go
ape” and more “go see a therapist.” The second full season of
Dontnod’s premier adventure series does a lot of things right, and
it tackles larger, more immediately relevant points than broached
in its predecessors. There is a lack of subtlety in approach,
though, and the messages it sends don’t always succeed in being as
profound as the personal lessons taught by the first game. Find out
more as we talk about the cast of characters and narrative
structure, how you can play too safe with politics, and see why we
compare Life is Strange 2 to books you’re assigned to read in
class. Thank you all for sitting down with us today! Fun fact: this
is the longest ever episode of the show, but I suppose that’s kind
of to be expected when we have twice any many people on as we’re
used to recently… Still, I think this is some of our most valid
critiquing we’ve done in a while, and I hope the length didn’t wear
you out of Dan and Janelle, as they’ll be back next time to talk
about Divinity: Original Sin 2. Hope you’ll check it out!
