So, on impulse I just kind of bought Life is Strange. Read the little blurb, saw it was an episodic adventure game in the vein of Telltale and, to be honest, I have a thing for indie music and culture. Call me a hipster if you want, there’s something sort of neat about a culture that revolves around art and simpler things like nature, timelessness and nostalgia. Sure that’s the romanticized aspect of the culture and in reality it’s a bunch of elitist snobs who reject anything that more than ten people know about. But nothing’s wrong with the idea of it. Sort of like the Native American, not quite as noble and loving when you get into the history of it and realize, they weren't exactly peaceful people either. So yeah, I was sold when part of the game’s description said it uses an indie influenced soundtrack with some legit indie bands to boot. Then seeing the screenshots with some indie college students aiming guns, smoking pot and looking thoughtful, with backdrops of a beautiful rural town in the fall.
