Are you going to have an all-manuscripts video where it speeds up every time Alan and his 40 layers of clothing write something needlessly complex?

All manuscripts video but every time Alan Wake tortures the prose Skippy plays We are number one on the banjo. If I remember correctly the harder difficulties also reduce your supply, I certainly remember not having 20 Energizer Power batteriestm by the time you did Cjacobs.

Speaking of the manuscript pages, after every episode (of Alan Wake, not the LP) I'll be posting its manuscript pages in a separate video before moving onto the next one. Here's the thing about the manuscript pages that you might want to keep in mind, though: They frequently spoil upcoming events, sometimes in a clever way, sometimes in a "here is what's going to happen in episode 2 of alan wake" way. It's up to you to decide if you're okay with that or not, and if not, maybe skip watching these until the LP is finished.

Given the quality of Alan's writing I think NaNoWriMo is the only time he writes.

It had something to do with time travel/manipulation, didn't it? What was it called? Hmm, let's see; they had Max Payne, then Alan Wake, so... "Tim Travell"?

I have heard that Quantum Break is... not so good. Serviceable as a shooter, at least! But I haven't played it so I can't say for sure.Skippy Granola posted:Sam was more creative this time: Quentin Break This is why I pay you the big bucks.

So thanks to the Deer Fest information, we can actually figure out that Alan Wake begins on September 1st and Alan wakes up in the car on the night of September 8th. Bright Falls is located in Washington state. The recorded climate in Tacoma, WA on September 8th, 2010 was a high of 63 degrees and a low of 54 degrees. As such, Alan is likely suffering from severe overheating during the daytime.

The real question I ask myself is how the gently caress Alan can MOVE with all those layers. He's bundled up like that kid in A Christmas Story.

Now all he needs is an uninspired boring love story and creatures that sparkle when exposed to light and... oh. Right.

Hey C-Jakes, how did you change Roy Orbison to avoid copyright shenanigans? He sounded remarkably similar.

I know it's been mentioned, but the lip syncing is distracting levels of awful. I have to think it was done that way on purpose, I refuse to believe that developers who can animate water so well can't manage to synch human lips to words.

All I had to do was pitch shift it down one semitone and I guess that + us yammering over it was enough! I'm sure for future songs it won't be so easy. edit: Hey, by the way, I'm gonna try streaming just about every night at around 6 pm cst! So keep an eye on the Let's Stream thread if you wanna watch me fumble my way through Max Payne 3 at high velocity live. I will mostly be doing Max Payne 3 speedruns but I'll probably play other stuff too sometimes when I get sick of that. CJacobs fucked around with this message at 16:11 on Dec 14, 2016 |

I need to make a table of contents header for the licensed songs because there's tons of them in the game and they're great, just like I did with Spec Ops! What a good reminder.

   I wonder if getting punched by Alan's dainty writer hands actually hurts. Maybe it's like getting hit angrily with a very lumpy pillow. Yeah it hurts and all, but it's still a pillow. CJacobs fucked around with this message at 00:30 on Dec 19, 2016 |

As we've [you've] established, Alan has arthritis so his punch would probably hurt himself more than the other person.

He stole his own wife's coffee thermos. What an rear end. You know, lord knows when Alan dies he's going to be like V.C. Andrews and have his children or wife ghostwrite using his name. ....is that a loving QR code in Alan's office where he was looking at the book cover mock ups. Oh. The fishing man doctor combo is offering Alan drugs. Max Payne sequel bait? Aww is that a missing cat poster in the police station? :C Go home cat, go home! AHHHHHHHHH BARRY!! Third best character. Well, maybe fourth. That deer float was pretty sweet. But Barry's shirt is pretty sweet also. "Listen Barry, I was partying with Max for a whole week. Sure there were drugs, but we needed them after getting shot a whole lot by these gang members." Man I love that lodge. Everything is so pretty there. Look at that view of the mountains and the trees and sky! And the bear. I love that bear. There's so much variety in plants and the bark on felled trees is jacked up and look! There's moss! It might be dark as gently caress at times, but it's so pleasing to look at. The night sky is great, too. Are there actual constellations or just random scatterings of stars? Either way, so nice. Also, Skippy had a good point about how creepy Stucky is. Either the person infected by the darkness is trying to break through, or the darkness is trying to make constructs that look and act like normal people but just can't get it right. Or maybe I'm giving the writers of this game too much credit.

Alan Wake needs to drink so much coffee to stay sober. If he wasn't constantly guzzling thermoses dry he'd crack open some brewskis and never come back out. If only he wasn't fighting his alcoholism with kleptomania.

It would be great if Spooky shadow Monsters followed the NFL's concussion protocol. "Alan I am going to kill youuuuuu." "Aww man sorry guys I gotta sit down till the end of the game they think I have concussion." "No problems Alan you lie down, take it easy and get better. Raaaaarrrrr darknesss raaarrrr."

They're just stuck being half-human or formerly-human dark creatures from hell until someone like your young enterprising writer pal puts them out of their misery.

Re: Shadow-Stucky - oh yeah, I was going to say after the first video that the doomed/undead people sort of imitating their living days by rote reminds me of the shibito in the Siren games. It's really effective there too. More-so really, I'd say. Anyway, it's been said, but I really appreciate the atmosphere and environmental design in Alan Wake. It has a great sense of place and I loved exploring it.

I really love how Barry is presented in the game. It's so common for the "fat comic relief character" archetype to be a boring stereotype, but he's actually a portrayed as a great guy with a good sense of humor.

By the way, sorry for this episode being mostly cutscenes/dialogue for us to jabber over. This episode and episode 4 really frontload all the cutscenes and stuff. In general Alan Wake goes half-hour of cutscenes and exposition, followed by an hour-ish of nordic walking. Parts 2 and 3 of this ep are gonna be full of uninterrupted woods-walking, don't you worry.
