Just wanted to share that I was unemployed and last week I made a job interview for a big software company here in my country, during it one of the girls asked me if I played any games and I started talking about Alan Wake and she was super into it too and gave me some extra points for it.

Today I got a call and I got the job! One of the things she mentioned was a standout from the other candidates was how well I kept important details in mind and that she loved Alan Wake lol

That's it, I am super happy and will be going through a second playthrough of the first game asap!

I’m personally really looking forward to knowing what Alan meant by “It’s not a lake it’s an ocean”

Gonna start reading it tonight. I've really fallen in love with this universe since picking up AW1 and 2 a few weeks ago!!

Saw this gem at target and now I need a Lego Alan Wake but instead typing out manuscript pages, he’s writing assembly instructions to build himself out of The Dark Place.

A few months ago my dad got diagnosed with ALS. He was always a huge gamer, and loved games with good stories. When he lost dexterity in his hands, I spent as much time as I could with him playing story games next to him while he watched. His absolute favorite was Alan Wake, he was entranced by the story and loved it so much. Yesterday, when I flew back home for winter break, we started Alan Wake 2, and played it all day long. It was fantastic, pointing out all of the details and connections to the first game together. I lost him this morning. I'm unbelievably grateful that I got to spend such a great last day with him bonding over something that we both enjoyed so much. I wish he could have seen the end of the story.

Does anyone else feel the same way?

Merch? Non-existent.

Ok let's buy the Alan Wake 2 art book, haha you wish.

Same situation with Control, where I at least have the artbook but would buy literally anything.

It unironically angers me.

Didn’t really know what to put this post under, but holy smokes I thought the sub should hear about Angry Joe and his reaction to Alan Wake 2 winning its awards and the performance of HOD.

I was going after every game awards reaction to just see multiple people react to HOD and when I got to Joe I expected something different then what I saw. First off he was watching it with 2 or 3 others which was not unusual because most of the other streamers/YouTubers did the same thing. The problem starts with his overall demeanor as it really seems he would have rather been doing anything else, and according to his comments section on like the 3 and a half hours every-time Alan Wake 2 or even Baldurs Gate 3 won an award all 3 of them called it pandering?

I start scrolling to find the best moment of the show and find it and wow did I find 3 grown men being the most absolute “douches” I thought I had ever seen. Literally during the whole segment of the live performance they were complaining how they “didn’t understand or how cringy” it was. And don’t get me started on what they said about Sam Lake.

They were absolutely ripping to shreds and the comment section noticed it too, calling all 3 of them out on it. I don’t like to be a negative person but damn read the room, they seem to be the only ones to have had a problem with it. I also did my research and multiple fans of the Angry Joe show have said he started Alan Wake 2 but never finished the prologue.

Edit: Thank you guys for all the comments, but I want to get some things straight. I simply don’t really care what Joe says and was stating that this guy seemed to be the only one airing his grievances with Alan Wake 2. That’s all he’d do when a category AW2 was nominated for came up. The one thing that bothered me and one of the reasons I created the post was his hypocritical stance from years ago I forgot to put originally that he said “gaming is creatively dead”but when a creatively amazing game comes out he plays for like 1 hour and quits because too me he was simply bad at the game.

I'm not high or drunk

Sam making THE face is pure gold

They look glorious
