So I have to start by saying this episode is NOT the first one I created, but actually the 12th. After making 11 episodes, I decided I wanted to go back and just tweak episodes a bit so they matched the way I represented certain gameplay elements (increased size of holocall images, easier to read foreign language subtitles, larger and more visible hacks, fixing the opening and ending to have my title card, etc) to make this easier to watch on a TV for a TV viewer. So, like a complete idiot, I moved the file to edit it, (not copied, remember this) and go to render. I look over and lo and behold, the render has blank frames! Why? OH that's why! I started rendering over the video I was pulling video from, so naturally it killed itself. I did not make a copy. I did not make a backup. I am a moron. But I was determined, and I went, after making several of these episodes, and completely redid the footage with a new save file (since all the old footage were erased to save space! DUMB.) So this episode was created with what I think, is the same quality as later episodes. That being said, I only made minor changes that I meant to for subsequent episodes, so naturally, episode 2's quality I feel, is far lower than episode one's. Also the action sequences ended up being well, totally different, but I liked the way the *new* episode one's sequences turned out, and I am pretty satisfied with this. Please enjoy!

Here's as close to the first episode I made as it gets. In the original version, there's about 8 mins of me driving around before arriving at Lizzie's, which I replaced with an episode 1 recap to showcase some of the game's music, specifically 'No Save Point' by Run the Jewels. The timeskip section of the first episode utilizes the music only, and I wanted to make sure you got a glimpse of the lyrics too. I made this second version to add much of what I considered 'TV' essential like increased holocall size.

Also a version 2 of the third episode, but I made *far fewer* edits than I did for episode 2.

Being as it is still one of the earlier episodes, what I was doing was playing, recording in a lower resolution, and upscaling the final video, leading to a well, lesser quality video. Sorry!

The first episode I recorded in actual resolution, as I found a better setting to record with higher FPS.

Trying to get Panam to call at the right time took about 30 takes.

There was a weird couple of glitches that made editing this quite the pain, especially the transition to the Red Queen's Race, where River's truck would spawn 50 ft in the air and drop the street, and sometimes it would crash the game. I could never consistently get it to transition properly, so I ended up doing so many takes.
