I would love it if AW2 has a scene with Alan writing and we see the scene reshaping as he goes, the scene starting out sinister and reshaping before us as he nails down each detail to leave no room for the dark place to twist it.

I personally imagine that probably each thing Alan changes takes some amount of 'energy' out of the story, so I love the idea of him using extremely terse sentences to nail down key details in the story, and making the rest an inevitable implication. It's got the feel of watching a master craftsman create something with just a few simple motions, but somehow the exact piece they intended comes out.

This Night Springs episode is one that I like due to the whole ‘i don’t know what else to write’ part. It does seem to mirror Alan, who is struggling to write something in the beginning of AW1, and if I’m correct Alan does take some of his old writing (like Alex Casey, Night Springs) and try to incorporate those characters and locations to escape, which I find interesting. Also with the Dark Presence literally needing creative people to get it to escape, you can say that the Dark Presence… has an Absence Of Creativity… Good video

Head-canon: The man standing in the narrative void is played by the writer of the episode.

the "A story is not a machine that does what you tell it. A story is a beast with a life of its own." line of Alan Wake is so powerful it became my philosophy in writing and making stories either in actual writing or in artform. easily one of my personal fave episodes

Another example of a plot hole sinking the entire enterprise as it were was when Zane wrote Barbara back into existence without giving an explanation, it's like in comics when a character dies and comes back a year later the writers have to create explanation that makes sense in the world they're writing in if not people would end up like Zane and Jagger.

I reckon AW2 releasing is going to be like breaking the surface after free diving, a whole new world (or worlds) to drink in just as you thought you were going to run out of air. I look forward to it.

Absence of Creativity oh yay an episode about Modern Disney lol. Respect and keep up the epic work.

Either the greatest of writing genius or deliberately poking complete fun at themselves, Remedy have managed to create a setting where when asked the question "how does this work?"; The answer "uhhhh idunno" can become an entire antagonist for a game or the entire basis of a character. Literally anyrhing the writers want to explore or do can be done, because the answer for why internal logic doesnt have to carry over between games is "because something has changed the rules"

I learned years ago that when Tolkien ran into trouble when writing a chapter he would just go back to beginning and rewrite the whole thing and he got a bit further each time.

I get to wake up listening to a night springs on the way to work? Dope!

So basically if you lose the plot everything could come tumbling down and you're back at square one, Alan must've made that mistake a few times already otherwise he'd be back in New York with Alice already.

I'd like to hear your theory about how Alan has been stuck in the Dark Place using a typewriter for so many years but still types like a noob.

This Night Springs episode was the first thing I thought of during the opening monologue to Control.

notice the perfect voice match for one of the ladies at start with Kimmy Robertson (Lucy Moran) from Twin Peaks

Oh my god looking at this after playing alan wake 2 that’s such a paralle for how he’s trying unsuccessfully to write his way out of the dark place.

Wonderful as always! Thank you!

Another well made NS video done!

great analysis!!

This is one of my favorites.

Hello Gaming university, question: is there a way to safely at discreetly sent an art image your way. I ask because I'm currently having a landscape art commission down what I imagine my mental landscape is like, and would like your thoughts just for the heck of it

When god has writers block...😬
