Fragging Place

The last time I ever played a Remedy game I was running around old school style comics putting holes through hoodlums in bullet time. However, now thanks to Remedy I’ve gone from the dark sticky nights of New York City to crazy back woods deer hunting yokel town of Bright Falls. Nothing about this town is bright I might add. Well maybe except for the old guy with the eye patch rocking out to Coconut. Which I now find myself now singing “She put de lime in de coconut, she drank ‘em bot’ up” at random intervals throughout the day, very addicting song.

In a way Alan Wake reminds me a little bit of Jack Nicholson’s character in the Shinning. Well, minus the creepy kid who likes writing on doors backwards with lipstick, anorexic wife with snot bubbles and that he drinks imaginary JD while talking to a creepy ghost bartender named Loyd. OK maybe there are a lot of differences but the whole stressed out writers block attitude, while being stuck out in the middle of nowhere is all the same.

So far it’s an awesome game that will defiantly go into my list of treasured games.

Maybe I will be the only person that gets this image…. I can’t stop laughing though it’s the first thing that popped into my head when I was writing this post.
