Yeah, sure, the FBC buddy... DING DING call agent Mulder, not even the X-files could have concieved of as ridiculous a conspiracy theory as some of you people do about the FBC LMAO. They're not the illuminati, just some overpaid desk jockeys.

I'm one of those firm believers that the government knows something we don't about Wake's disappearance. When he went missing my heart broke, I was one of his biggest fans 😭 my goal this year is to make a pilgrimage to Bright Falls and pay my respects to him by the lake. I don't care if it's been fenced off, I have bolt cutters!

I’d say Wakes books certainly “blew” something but it wasn’t “me away” if you catch my meaning. Dude is a poor man’s Dean Koontz, and Koontz is a poor man’s Steven King. It’s all so trite and predictable with little serious literary merit.

Jeez, Alan Wake. Haven't thought about that guy in years, but I remember being really fascinated by his disappearance. I really liked the Alex Casey books, but yeah, they haven't aged well. Something really interesting you didn't bring up in the video, but I think you should have: those manuscript pages in The Alan Wake Files? There's a couple more pages floating around the internet. And if you look at all the pages we have, then do a little research, it turns out they seem to be talking about actual missing person cases that happened around the place he disappeared from. There were also rumors of him leading a murder cult in New York, just like the one in the first Alex Casey book. Really disturbing.

Did not expect such a video today xD I love the take on Alan Wake as a real-life person ... if this would really happen, his name would surely pop up on those unsolved mystery iceberg explained videos lol Definitely makes you wonder how his disappearance would be perceived by in-universe fans, and how much the FBC would try to prevent from leaking to the public. Great work, Matt! :)

I'm from Watery, the town next to where Alan disappeared! There's a really weird girl that works in the diner that to this day insists that Alan's still around and talks to her. It's really unnerving, but the coffee's great so I always stop by when I can.

What happened to Alice was such a tragedy. There was more art and creativity in just a single one of her photos than ANYTHING Wake ever achieved with those Max Casey novels, or whatever they were called. Even airport book stores were embarrassed to carry them. Wake disappearing was probably the best thing to happen to her ... and the worst. A real tragedy.

Don’t rag on Wake like that. Sure, he wasn’t a milestone in literature, but most people aren’t, and don’t need to be to write good books. Besides, their love was genuine and nobody should love a loved one in such a dark place.

Inspirational stuff! Now that you have done it, it seems obvious this is the way to do any Remedy Universe analysis; what with their many/multiple worlds overlaid on top of, echoing aspects of, and inspiring each other. Wake could be out there in another world where King and he are contemporaries for real! And another Matt made this video not knowing it would be considered goofy and meta in some other universe where Alan Wake is just a game! We are only too naive not to consider it 😉 (seriously though I wish you held off on breaking character, it was a joy to watch and the video was good enough that you could just have left it as is, without ever acknowledging anyone in our reality 😂)
