wiggles5072d ago

That was a pretty good list

SeanRL5072d ago

the energizer one was the best.

wiggles5072d ago

I'm stuck between that one... and who drinks 100 thermoses of coffee after they have been sitting out in the woods lol...

hamoor5072d ago

now THAT is the kind of a list that i want to read not the same fans crab and "why product y is gonna fail" articles
good read

HolyOrangeCows5072d ago (Edited 5072d ago )

"Tornadoes are reserved for the parts of the country we don't really care about"

LOL, that isn't very nice.

WildArmed5072d ago (Edited 5072d ago )

Wow..
I remember seeing an article with the same title with Heavy Rain instead of Alan Wake. =/

edit-
This was a hilarious read too xD

badz1495072d ago

1st, it was HR and now AW! I hope this won't discourage non-American devs to keep doing what they are doing! not everything must be perfectly matched to their real life counter-part because it's just a game! plus, those Energizers might be some knock off brand from China! if they chose to use Duracells instead, Alan will be accompanied by pink rabbits all the time thus making the game not scary at all!

BkaY5072d ago

no 10 is spot on ... i hate tht guy...

and no 4...

"we rarely leave 100 thermoses of it in the wilderness. When we do, we don't usually drink it afterwards" lol

well written .. props

peace

WildArmed5072d ago

*shock*

Hallucinate5072d ago

dear god iv'e been compromised abort mission

Silentmerc3nary5072d ago (Edited 5072d ago )

At least the voice actors sound American.
*cough*Heavy Rain*cough*

ThatArtGuy5072d ago

Yes, because everyone living in the States sounds like they were born in L.A., Atlanta, Boston, or the Bronx.

ThatArtGuy5072d ago

UHN! Hot Pants! AH! HOT PANTS! Gonna make sweat... uh! AH! GET UP OFFA THAT THANG! UHN! The woman gotsa use just what she has, to get just what she wants uh! HOT PANTS! UHN!

Silentmerc3nary5072d ago

Damn, I wasn't hating on Heavy Rain, liked it a lot. Same with Alan Wake.

Geeze, N4G users need to lighten up (No pun intended).

huzzaahh5072d ago

Hohoho! I know you said that there was no pun intended, but it was good nonetheless.

WildArmed5072d ago

jokes and sarcasm doesn't come across well on the internet.

Try typing in '/s' or 'jk' and save yourself some flaming lol
n4g doesn't not let down until you beat you senseless :(

shadow27975072d ago

Just out of curiosity, is there a particular character you're referring to?

I'm trying to think of a single character that didn't sound American in Heavy Rain, and I'm coming up blank.

Rocket Sauce5072d ago (Edited 5072d ago )

I remember a few dodgy Boston-ish accents, but the kid in the flashback was unbelievably French.

"8. While Washington drivers aren't the worst in the country, we don't crash our cars and block the roads when there is a looming threat we don't know about (unless you live near the retirement home in Issaquah)."

OK, that was pretty funny.

Kind of a goody story...

On a serious note, that is why I try activating gift cards asap. It's happened to me where the store didnt scan it right where the card was unusuable. Happened at Wally World.

gigoran814d ago

wait, that place is real? national lampoon wasn't kidding?

Tacoboto13d ago

I just bought two of the MonsterVerse Godzilla movies on 4K - both had digital copies expiring in 2023. Both were actually expired.

I'd be surprised but it's WB, of course they'd actually expire them

Knightofelemia14d ago

Usually most of those redemption card have an expiry date on them. If they expired all buyer did was buy recycled paper. And some of those codes are country locked to certain countries. I buy a card from the States I can't use it in Canada.

Chocoburger14d ago

Dumb and silly story. She wasted her money for no reason.

Is it really that hard to go to Steam or GOG. She spent $240, when its currently 70% off on GOG, and only costs $4.49.

Gee, I wonder, should I spend $240 on eBay, or $4.49 on GOG? 🙄

Rynxie14d ago

Most likely she wanted to resell a few or most of them. However, it was a too good to be true situation.

Profchaos14d ago

So in short she paid $240.00 assuming usd for a bunch on unactivated game codes.

I still don't understand why I guess cause there's not a physical version and she wanted something for a collection or art project.

Rynxie14d ago

No, most likely to resell. However, she ended up getting screwed.

Asplundh13d ago

This is Alan Wake 1, it had physical copies.

A thermos is upending the Alan Wake community

Remedy has Alan Wake merch on sale, including a pretty blue thermos. Unfortunately, things haven’t gone according to plan, and many players who want a thermos find themselves without one, though it does appear that Remedy is attempting to fix things. Nevertheless, it has resulted in a lot of upset, illustrating just how much the thermos means to Alan Wake fans.
