The funniest gag in Alan Wake is that Alan Wake is supposed to be an author of such boundless imagination that a nameless eldritch force is awakened solely by his presence and longs to use his singular talent to destroy the world or whatever, but then the excerpts of his writing that we're treated to (and there are many) are like sub-Dan Brown level hack garbage. I don't think this was intentional but I like to give Remedy the benefit of the doubt where I can. Anyway Alan Wake II better be the best fucking game of the year if it made me revisit this tedious piece of shit so I can remember the lore.
