Alan Wake 2 Critique - Beyond the Lake
Added 2024-07-19 12:22:02 +0000 UTCHi all, here's the Alan Wake 2 Critique, ad and sponsor-free. Thanks for your patience with this. I'm off to sleep!
A public version of the video will go live at 2pm tomorrow.

You'll see that there's no patron read at the end of the video, but you're all credited still. This is not going to be a common thing on these longer videos, but in this case I had a custom song commissioned to play over credits and didn't want to play the song in full and then do a read-out, I thought it killed the ending a little bit. I'm really sorry about that - but hopefully when you watch the video you'll see why it happened this way!

I don't know how to talk about Monty not knowing about how to talk about Alan Wake 2. š You packed a depth of soul into this. Thank you for an incredible video essay -- and I really hope you caught up on sleep, because my god, I can't imagine how much work this took.

2024-07-29 01:13:11 +0000 UTCThis is one of the most impressive video essays I've ever seen, hands down. The sheer amount of passion and artistry put into every second of those 5 hours is the most inspiring thing ever, never stop doing what you're doing!

2024-07-25 05:35:34 +0000 UTCI had to convert the art from Naima into PDF and take them to my local printer - I don't think she's putting it out for commercial release I'm afraid! š

2024-07-24 09:38:11 +0000 UTCI anticipated awesomeness but not 5+ h of it. What a treat. And all that original art made for it. How can we get hold of that story book?

2024-07-20 10:41:46 +0000 UTCSo fucking hyped for this. I bought a copy of Alan wake 2 to support the dev team, cause whether I love or hate their games they always put out something different than anything else on the market, and ended up bouncing off of it. Just not my thing to play. Been chomping at the bit to hear you go over the story though!
