Get your game on!

My teenage years were a little too cool.

Dropped out of one school, then almost got kicked out of the school for dropouts and troubled teens, but instead managed to test out and got graduated early due to some legal shenanigans there being investigated, so they were rushing everyone out, then after partying too hard with my roommate at our first apartment, ended up evicted and homeless for a bit.

It was a learning experience for sure. Or as Bruce Springsteen would say, Glory Days.

Which is about all we can talk about when I talk to my friends from back in that time. Like ā€œYeah, now we have kids and decent jobs. Remember the time _ happened?ā€

Started up Alan Wake again. My Remedy-verse runthrough might be on track again, we’ll see. Last time I had played Alan Wake was a year and a half ago, so it really did fall by the wayside.

I didn’t restart, just kept from my last save. I hope that wasn’t a mistake.

ETA: No matter what, FBC isn’t getting added to the runthrough. I’m keeping just to the single player stuff.

I’m curious what all this involves. I’ve played Alan Wake and Quantum Break (the latter I didn’t know was by the same people, so imagine my surprise when there was an in-game Alan Wake 2 trailer only a few minutes into the game), and I have but have not yet gotten around to playing Control and Alan Wake 2. I’d never heard of FBC until you mentioned it. Are there others I’ve missed?

Alan Wake’s American Nightmare is the other one you’ve missed. I think you’ve hit all the others. I’ve played some of Control and Quantum Break, but didn’t finish either. I’ll be restarting those when I get to them.

I’m planning on original release order Alan Wake → American Nightmare → Quantum Break → Control → Alan Wake 2. I’ve got the AW:Remastered, so the DLC in there, and all the DLC for Control as well. I haven’t purchased AW2 yet, probably won’t bother until I’m done and when a complete edition is on sale.

I actually have played that, just was counting it as DLC rather than a standalone game (even though I suppose that’s not accurate). Anyway, I played Alan Wake Remastered last Halloween season. Still holds up, IMO!

And then there’s this, which I’ve been holding off on until I finish the first game
