Let's write something
That doesn't involve guns
And blood
Too much yelling I
Cover my ears with lies
The world is a better place
Always a better place
To die in
They say it's the only
Habitable planet there is
But all I see are graveyards
Stretching far and wide
Like stars plotted
In a chaotic sky
Oh I sigh,
Believing all the lies
Uttered so we can survive
The night
While thunderous bombs
Resound
Here and there
Fallen bodies scattered
Everywhere
Maybe I
I will let you speak
About love to me tonight
It doesn't matter now
If you'll lie
We will die sooner or later
You and I
So let's drink to all the fallen souls
Wrap our hearts with steel
While we profess love
Such a foreign emotion
We can't even fathom
But we say it anyhow
Like it's as nonsense
As the war going on
I will let you sprinkle each word
With sugar
So they'll taste sweet
If I roll them on my tongue
And say them back to you
A response
That could melt glaciers
Perhaps in a different time
But tonight may only be
The chance left for us
So what are you waiting for
Lie to me
Let's stage the greatest farce
In this time of war
We'll be the great pretenders,
You and I,
-Chaotic sky,

What am I supposed to say? Stay? How would I make it sound like I am not begging? My love, I don't know how. I'm not good at this. So if you please, just sit with me. But if you want to leave, just go. Right now. Run far away. Don't look back so you won't see me breaking gently and change your mind. The worst that you can do is come back not because you love me but because you're sorry. In the name of the love that I bravely professed and all the poems that I ran in my head, leave me with my pride and sanity intact.
-If you have to leave...

I have been obsessed with the "Remedyverse" since Max Payne 2. My obsession has only curved upwards exponentially over time and now I find myself halfway through Alan Wake II and I feel like all my hyperfixations have come home to roost.
How am I supposed to return to my successful career, or hold a conversation with anyone who does not know that it's not a lake, but an ocean? Should I carry charts and graphs with me to explain shoeboxes?
And then there's the new music from [REDACTED]!
I'm dying over here.
This is the Way.
I would add "Play Max Payne 2" either before or after playing Alan Wake 1. Sure it's rough by modern standards but it's also only 5-6 hours long and you get to experience "Late Goodbye" in its natural habitat.
(And don't get me started on the books to read and things to watch and becoming an obsessive Poets of the Fall fan, and being a Poe fan and...)
Join us.
A hyperfixater's guide to fully enjoying the Remedyverse:
- Google "Max Payne Grimace"
- Look up enough of the comic panel cuscenes from Max Payne 1 to realize all the characters are Remedy's office staff plus the band members from Poets of the Fall.
- Listen to "The Late Goodbye."
- Play Alan Wake 1. Preferably in the dark. Listen to all the music in between chapters. Wait at least a day between the main story and the DLC chapters to really let the feeling of wanting to know what happened sink in.
- Optional: Wait two years
- Play Alan Wake's American Nightmare. Arachnaphoba may vary.
- Optional: Wait four more years.
- Optional: Play Quantum Break. It's not officially part of the Remedyverse but we didn't know that at the time and it played with our emotions with Alan Wake teases for the entire damn game. Plus - Lance Reddick at his finest.
- Optional: Wait three more years.
- Play Control. Explore a lot. Read everything you can get your hands on. Bask in the nigh unrivalled glory of The Ashtray Maze.
- Prior to playing the Control DLCs, spend an ungodly amount of time obsessing over why one of them is just called "AWE" and all the possible implications.
- Play the Control DLCs
- Freak the fuck out
- Optional: Wait 4 more years
- Play Alan Wake 2
- Gush about how much you love it all to me specifically because nobody ever knows what I'm talking about when I mention these games and you guys they are important to me in a way that should probably deeply embarass me.
Of course to really get the full experience you'll need to constantly concuss yourself to the point of never knowing if Alan Wake 2 will ever exist and thus preserve the sweet agony of being a Remedy fan between 2010-2020ish.
Old Gods of Asgard music may help soothe the pain.
