Me: "See, to really understand shoeboxes, you need these documents from Control as well as a home renovation blog from a decade ago."

Them: "Friend, this is a Wendy's."

I cannot stop thinking about the fact that Alan Wake II exists at all, like

I've been a big Remedy fan since I first played Max Payne but the first Alan Wake has always been my favorite of their work and to think that I've been waiting for the cliffhanger at the end of it to be resolved for over a decade now is so crazy to think about.

I still remember all the ups and downs over all that time, points where speculation about a sequel releasing were reaching fever pitch, points where any hopes were dashed and I had resigned to thinking it would never actually happen. From the time when Sam Lake said that Remedy wanted to make a sequel but the time wasn't right, and the original AW2 prototype video being released to the public, to the tease of the Remedy Connected Universe that set up both Alan Wake II and Control appearing as a chalkboard easter egg in Quantum Break, the house renovation blog that teased AW2 back in like 2013, and the collective explosion of hype that surrounded the AWE expansion for Control and the confirmation that something was FINALLY happening.

It's so insane to me. For as much as I hate Epic Games I have no choice but to be grateful for them stepping up and bankrolling something that I genuinely thought would never come, even if that means the game is going to be an EGS exclusive on PC.

I don't like to ramble for so long but this game means so much to me and I can't help it
