Is there really a MONSTER TRUCK RALLY BOSS FIGHT? If so then I've got to finish playing the game.

I get to look at one that's supposedly due to explode 'any time between now and 1000 years from now' every day when I look out the front window of my house. Don't look away, a watched volcano never erupts.

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.

I joked about it earlier, but you can interpret Alan as being a recovering alcoholic for whom drinking was an important part of the creative process. Drinking removes the internal critic and some writers use it to write without having the niggling doubt in the back of their head that everything they write is poo poo. If Alan is also a natural introvert who has trouble interacting with fans then being unable to get drunk before dealing with people would be another thing that grates on him. So his writers block might actually be because by trying to treat his disease he's removed an important coping mechanism.

My dad used to suffer from kidney stones. According to him the only thing you can really do is take pain medication and drink lots of water. Unless the stones are impacted, then you'll need surgery. And you will be amazed at how tiny they are once you pass them. They are offensively small for something so painful. Unless they really are hail sized. Then I think you'll make national news.

Right now I'm reading "I Am Providence" by Nick Mamatas. It's about how terrible the Lovecraft fandom is, told through the lens of a murder mystery. One of the two viewpoint characters is the murdered writer, his consciousness trapped in his own rotting flesh even after death. Will you be playing Alan Wake's American Nightmare ScabrousJacobs?

CJacobs posted:For the record, The Alan Wake Files expands pretty heavily on Nightingale and what his deal is and (most importantly) where the hell he came from all of a sudden, but we're not there yet. Expect more info about the guy after I post a future episode! It's not too substantial, but it does explain his motivations a little better than the game itself does. Is he possessed of a shred of self awareness that he is a fictional character, and wants to kill Alan because of how poorly written he is?

Which I think I say at some point before being killed by bugs. Eventually I do wisen up and craft some before making the journey. You don't need to defend yourself. You're exactly as Alan Wake wrote you.

CJacobs posted:Now I'm wondering what would happen if Alan- the trapped in the darkness writing this game Alan -wrote a story in which he is writing himself on the next 'layer' up. Like, what if he wrote a story wherein he is dictating what he is currently writing in the real world? What are the limitations of the darkness' reality bending powers? Could he sacrifice himself to trap it forever by way of infinite recursion?? It all depends on whether the two Alans will continue to trade places or just continue on with their lives after making the swap.

The Unlife Aquatic posted:Honestly, I'd go farther and say it changed what it means to make TV. It raised the bar in a way that wasn't immediately obvious, but now every big name TV show feels a bit like a distant Twin Peaks homage. How so? Having only ever known a post Twin Peaks World I have no frame of reference.

Tasteful Dickpic posted:I think it's an unknown third party, possibly related to the R that Agent Chin found underneath her fingernail. Yeah, was Laura's murderer in the pilot? I not that sure that Leo Johnson did it, but it would be ironic if he was sleeping with Laura, since Leo freaks out at the thought of Shelly cheating on him, and killed her for some reason. Given how angry he is it might not have been anything serious, just a bad day. And he is a truck driver which means he's probably a serial killer, human trafficker, or drug dealer.

Wa11y posted:Wasn't there only one murder so far, before Laura's, that had a letter shoved under the fingernail? One killing isn't really a serial killing (yet), so why would the FBI get involved? A local girl killed in the town she lived in isn't really a Federal matter. It wasn't until AFTER Cooper showed up that they found out about the letter under the nail, so it's not like that's something that would have triggered the FBI showing up. Is the FBI (or Cooper) just running around every time there's a killing reported and looking under fingernails? And if the first killing with a letter under a fingernail wasn't done in Twin Peaks, why is Cooper so sure Laura's killer is still in Twin Peaks? Ronnie was found across state lines, and the FBI tends to get involved with kidnapping cases. Cooper mentions it on the way in. As well as being near Canada, Twin Peaks is also close to Idaho (I think).

Since Twin Peaks is so close to Idaho I think the killer was one of Idaho's many potato cultists. It's like Children of the Corn there. But with potatoes.

Nurse Birch probably doesn't wear a tie because a patient could use it to choke him. Even a clip-on could be dangerous to someone feeling suicidal. Or he's like me and has an unpleasant sensation whenever the top button is undone. And all of the adds should have been in-universe. And featured Alan so that he could be haunted by even more of his failings. bman in 2288 posted:I know it's been done before, but Barry is perfecting the formula, as you can obviously tell. By using a prop that has more dimensions than the person it's imitating.
