This bounty is fully claimed.

Hello,
I am on a mission to finally complete my MATI archive once and for all. Unfortunately, as many know, the Life is Strange playthrough episodes 2,3 and 4 are missing due to the loss of stream.me.

It is still possible that someone out there downloaded the stream and has it saved somewhere. I find it probable that those individuals may still use the Kiwi Farms.
For any chance for this to actually happen those individuals need to A. Notice this request and B. Dig around and actually remember that they had it.
To achieve sufficient notoriety and to make it worth people's while to dig through old storage drives I think there has to be a bounty.
I also realize the best time to do this was in 2019, I am late to the party.

I hereby offer a bounty, where the three following items are desired:

  • Life is Strange Chapter 2, Mad at Video Games
  • Life is Strange Chapter 3, Mad at Video Games
  • Life is Strange Chapter 4, Mad at Video Games
    • Streamed as "Life is Strange: Chapter 4 - Mad at Video Games" on November 13th, 2018 with ID WlZMEoy9qd
    • **Deemed most valuable by Null**

Thanks to @Avenue for more info.

All are dated between November 6th and 14th 2018.
Due to my limitations of privacy payments will only be in Monero (XMR).
For each item the total reward is 2.0 XMR.
This full payout is for a full start to finish video with decent quality audio with video quality of 360p or greater, 24 fps or greater, and with minimal compression artifacts.

Partial credit is also offered.
High quality audio alone is worth 1.0 XMR, and 360p+, 24 fps+ video with minimal compression artifacts an additional 1.0 XMR.
Low quality but intelligible audio is worth 0.5 XMR, 144p-359p or 15-24 fps or very noticeably lossily compressed video is worth 0.5 XMR.

Audio that is unintelligible, video under 144p, under 15 FPS or with excessive compression artifacts will not be accepted.

For partial lengths, since the original length is largely unknown, 3 hours length is assumed and the payout will be scaled to the proportion of 3 hours the included video is. This also counts for penalizing corrupted segments of the video.
If the video provided is clearly the whole stream, and is under 3 hours, the full payout will be given.

However, if someone claims partial credit, the rest of the bounty is still available. For example, if someone else submits low quality audio only and claims 0.25 XMR of the bounty, and you have the full high quality audio and video, you will recieve 0.75 XMR.

Right now, 6 XMR is set aside specifically for this bounty. If this number grows after you have claimed some of the bounty, you will be given the fair share to discourage "sitting on the bounty".
For example, if you have claimed 1 XMR of the bounty when the total was valued at 3, and the total pool increased by 1.5, you would be automatically dispersed 0.5 of the additional pool. This promise only exists to prevent the problem of individuals able to claim the bounty waiting for the value of the bounty to increase.

I know this is very tall ask, but the worst case scenario I see is that I don't get to pay anyone and I make a fool of myself. Otherwise this can benefit everyone.

Here is a table of available rewards:
LQ Audio (0.5 XMR)HQ Audio (0.5 XMR)LQ Video (0.5 XMR)HQ Video (0.5 XMR)Remaining reward:
Episode 2CLAIMEDCLAIMEDCLAIMEDCLAIMED0.0 XMR
Episode 3CLAIMEDCLAIMEDCLAIMEDCLAIMED0.0 XMR
Episode 4CLAIMEDCLAIMEDCLAIMEDCLAIMED0.0 XMR
Remember a claim for HQ also claims the LQ reward unless it was already claimed.

Is it really that interesting or is it just for the sake of finding a lost MATI? I remember playing Life is Strange years ago and it was so fucking boring.

Life is Strange -> Women: The Interactive Video Experience For Homosexuals.
The game sucks, but the playthrough I hear was very funny and having the complete archive is a major part of it.
 
Do I get anything if I saw it before?
The first one to post the audio/video in this thread gets the corresponding reward. Either as attachment or link. I would like it as-is.
I expect that if it exists it is on offline storage media.

Extremely so.
I remember losing my shit so many times.

When the videos went down I looked through all my archives and I never downloaded it.. I’m not sure why and I regret it.

@Cringestorian X those aren’t it, he’s looking for the first game. Before the storm came later.
 
I threw my proverbial hat in the ring, searched for an hour and ended up with nothing at this time.
However I did make a small discovery, the streams originally aired with the subtitle "Mad at Video Games" not "Bad at Video Games"
May this help in the search and recovery.

ep 1 og stream name: Life is Strange (Avoiding Politics) - Mad at Video Games

I believe I found them on the MATIArchive on Rumble (2 through 3, but not 4):

Those are all from separate sequels or spin off games, we're looking for the streams of the original life is strange (2015) game.

These are all the wrong playthrough. The original streams were streamed between November 6th and November 14th 2018. All of these are from 2019.
I would not pony up hundreds of dollars for someone to do an Internet search for me.
I am convniced that these streams, if they exist anywhere at all, are in places that cannot be access over the Internet.
Someone's old HDD in the closet, or buried in terabytes of other saved videos with a really hard to search name. For it to be found that way there has to be a really good incentive for people to put in that kind of work.
