It's weird that this, of all games, does the fat comic relief guy character well. I quite like the whole section with the police station and the cabins. Actually, I enjoy all the daylight moments in Alan Wake. I think horror games are more effective when they keep one foot in reality, rather than just being ALL MONSTERS, ALL THE TIME. Also, please both do the entire commentary in Barry voices from now on.

One of the things I like about Twin Peaks is how it ignores cliches with its hero. Cooper is a brilliant detective who is also a genuinely nice person with no deep-seated personality disorders or crippling addictions. He trusts, and is trusted by, local law enforcement right from the start. How many other shows deliberately defuse their most obvious source of plot-generating conflict right at the beginning? Besides Kyle Maclachlan's charm, Cooper remains interesting because he's such a massive contrast to the evil in Twin Peaks. Like, we know how Harry Callahan or Jimmy McNulty or those clones on NCSI would deal with a serial killer, because they live in the same world. Meanwhile, Cooper seems to have wandered in to Twin Peaks straight from Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood. I was always curious and nervous when watching about how he'd react to the various horrors in the series. Compare with Alan Wake, who is an rear end in a top hat and, explicitly, the creator of his world.
