not sayin' he is a bad guy or anything but is really there a something extra-ordinary,interesting about Warren? if so I'd like to hear it.

Eventually she had realized her faults and Max helped her to 'heal'
Everyone makes mistakes.Not a villain type ''wrong'' things of course.Only disney type of characters are flawless which's far away from being realistic.
Jacob Price
Well, the topic of conversation was expression. Is there something interesting about Warren in the eyes, his facial expressions or body language?
I think there is. As the other user mentioned, particularly after the Nathan confrontation there's a lot to talk about there. They did a good job on him as well, his physicality is distinct, it says more about him and opens way to interpretation. Again, I wouldn't say he carries nearly the same meaning and depth, in expression or otherwise, as some of the other characters, but there's also more to him.
For example, and for something you'll certainly be inclined to agree, some of his expressions look outright psychotic. Like the smile in the photo he has in his locker. Or the way he slowly turns his head and blinks two or three times when Max stands next to him, wanting to tell him what's on her mind. That is well done. It partly shows the awkward obsessiveness that is part of his characterization. But there's other, more "positive" things there as well. His helpfulness and awkward kindness shines through in his expression as well, at times.

Benjamin Perry
see? you can't tell any. if anything I wouldn't call confrontation with Nathan as good(let's ignore the fact that how badly directed that scene wasafter being tough! yeah he was standing there like a half coward half innocent kid.after hours,he got drunk by half beer because he beated up someone in his life and worried about his scholarship.again,i am not calling him bad.i'm saying after his bravery! attempt he also got scared in the deep.
not denying his positive sides.his awkward obsessiveness with coward+innocence helpful look is obvious from his expressions,behaviour.but really there's anything deep about it still.
i liked that pic btw.send more

>he doesn't know about the deleted tweet
Xavier Gomez
I agree. I'm the "other user".
There's shame after going ape on Nate.
Also, his blinking and head turns do look psychotic. He almost reminds me of a submissive insect, or self-retreating slug, to dehumanize him.
His voice waverings show that obsessiveness, too.
Carson Howard
What did they mean by this
Josiah Rogers
There's also cowardness.
What about Kate's expressions? I'd like to hear that too.
Carson Ross
What tweet?
Nolan Gonzalez
I just told you examples right there. Again, we are on the topic of expression, I had no desire to go into anything else with him.
I think they've also captured the kind of rigid posture of young awkward outsiders like him well. No real awareness in the way of holding themselves, unhealthy even, fine-motorically underdeveloped. He hardly moves his neck or makes casually confident movements.
He has the weirdest headbutt move-in, kicks lamely at the gun and then staggers over to Nathan to beat into him, almost mechanically. That looks so weird, a mix of awkwardness, lack of grace, but also something psychotic.
The height of that might be his penguin walk in the impossible ending.
Yes, when Max stands next to him about to actually open up to him, it is deeply satisfying to him. That blinking - and I'm not sure whether it's actually a glitch - is so drawn out and overdone. Creeped me out instantly. Like he wanted to replicate trustful intimacy, but not only does he lack the naturalness of the motion, the dominating emotion here is also more of the orgasm of the intimacy, not the trustful feeling, for him.

Gabriel Mitchell
Indeed, he's opportunistic, and the car park scene's body expression are perfectly done.
You've hit the nail on the head with the fight. I felt it was unsettling, I just couldn't put my finger on.
His "Agh" as he kicks the gun is so disconnected from his body's lack of enthusiasm.
Landon Lee
>''I want to see Max and Chloe again'' She doesn't seem like a bayfag.Or actually chose that ending and thinking storm will be back if they make a sequel.
Actually it would happen if they make a sequel.But problem is they'd already stated that we are not gonna see them again.Haha:(
Carson Murphy
What are they trying to hide from us?
Luis Hughes
It was also brillant that his trying to hug Max and then,Max's eye roll moment/wtf is he doing expression when she noticed that what he was doing.
Connor Cox
>His "Agh" as he kicks the gun is so disconnected from his body's lack of enthusiasm. I was thinking about exactly that when I typed that.
It's like he sees his opportunity to be grossly violent, now, probably more so as a feeling than conscious will, but he hides that violent enthusiasm from himself (and later is ashamed because of it; how much of that shame is another way of hiding things from himself and others would be another question) and Max and Chloe, and uses the "Agh" involuntarily to make it seem as if he's in distress of a fight, when really, or at least partly, he's also certainly ready and willing to go the fuck to town, has probably fantasized about something along those lines for quite some time.
Brody Morgan
something about Vampyr? or just commercial
Brayden Murphy
>was willing to got the fuck to town >then he was willing to not kick'd off the school
Dylan Hughes
I see it as a build-up. He's almost swaying as he prepares, like he feels the violence will be an orgasmic release, and the "agh", is "No, you're not with that gun, bitch, I'm just getting started" as it builds to the beating.
Have you ever watched Cannibal Holocaust? There's something so "Warren" about it. The strange music, the acting, the actual violence seems like his holy grail.
Also, what movie you watching for 13th?

James Evans

Angel Reyes
I could see that. The anticipation of the violent ecstasis, and the gun gets in the way of it, and so he breaks his breath-holding preparedness when the gun comes out and threathens the release. Like pre-cum, perhaps. Similar in their awkwardness and situational unfittingness as well, lol.
I did see CH, but cannot remember too much of it. Not even the general feeling. Maybe I should watch it tonight. I was just going to tune into my regular streams for classic horror stuff. I associate the creepiness of Warren's violence more with outsiders I've actually known in my life. Particular one that snapped and beat down a Chad with ease. That awkwardness turning into effective brutality is so weird a sight.
But while that certainly is an interesting side of him, and I definitely do see it in his expression, let's not forget that it is also a complex, being the bullied outsider, wanting to be confident, also wanting to impress Max, and so on. It's a syndrome of things, and we know he is mostly benign and also kind. That weird, creepy, almost psychotic edge is something he could absolutely still grow out of, being 16 and all.
William Morgan

Bentley Bailey
Of course.
I found him mildly likable in game, save the interest in Max. I've shouted out, "Fuck off, Warren" a few times when he was on screen, kek. I did feel that same warm safeness as I did with Chloe, that came with just being around a dedicated ally, in a game of threats and intimidating people, though.
I'd say watch CH. It's pretty extreme, with rape and real animal deaths, but I think it's good.
Gavin Phillips

Justin Hernandez
>Stop, it's DILEMMA TIME! No Michel, no!
Yeah, it wasn't really warm, but I also never felt threatened by him, at any point in the game. Not as a romantical threat to Pricefield, not as a sexual one to Max, not as a physical threat to people around him, not psychologically threating as a crazed lunatic.
But there's that psychotic edge there, something more to him and his expressions in body and dialogue than just awkwardness and immaturity. Don't think he'd ever develop that side more, and more likely grow out of it or be able to hide it away completely, but... you never know. Serial killers and psycho killers do come from somewhere, ha.
Will watch CH. Kind of have the suspicion I'll grow bored with it a quarter into it.
Or perhaps, I'll "laugh my ass off"... he he...
Josiah Bailey

Yeah, these violent films that throw it at you can get repetitive pretty quickly.
CH isn't just repetitive gore, though.

How come nobody in this stupid game cares about the fact that Max teleports around them right in front of your eyes?
How come Max can just pop into another timeline all of the sudden and there be no other Max that only knew that timeline?
Why are there so many fallacies in this game that doesn't make any sense?
And why do they keep saying hella and wowser?

There is literally lengthy posts talking about nuances in expression of Warren of all characters in this very thread, fresh as it is.
You beep should stop trying to stir shit up and actually talk about things to do with the game, as /lisg/ has always done.
Have nothing interesting to say? Thought so.
Nathan.

Oh you're right, you totally didn't need anyone to blow up the principal door lock, Kate also is so insignificant that Chloe gets jealous because Max simply answered a short call
