Seeing Sam Lake dance made me so happy. Because you could really feel the immense joy he had. A brilliant, lovable creator who is just thrilled that his 13 year struggle to make a sequel to a character he deeply loves paid off. It's also got the added emotions that Lake has worked with Poets of the fall for 20 years. Then there they all are, rocking out and having fun, and we the player get to take part of the celebrations.

He fulfilled his long-time dream of the music scene and performing.

Finding out that Sam Lake is only just barely older than my mom is something that happened to me today. I'm almost 35 btw.

There’s never been a more wholesome person in the entire gaming industry. Sam deserves all of the love and respect he has gotten over the years, especially in the last few months. Happy birthday.
