I'm 😤 not a 🦸🏻‍♂️hero...🧜🏻



Wasn't there supposed to be an add-on to this game or am I just going doo-lally?

Edit: So, by bad writer, are we talking Garth Marenghi-esque or worse?

Also, I think I've got the twist of the game already. Light heals you, so Alan is secretly part plant!

Edit edit: Dangit, that'll teach me to make comments about Dark place before watching the drat video in full.

They (the characters) have poorly modeled teeth. That's what is weird about them.

Barry is the Wang Chi to Allan's Jack Burton. But only if Jack Burton was also supremely uncool.

If I remember correctly the last mammoths died out around the same time that the Great Pyramids of Giza were finished.

drat your eyes! I was gonna say that.

Mastodon translates to 'nipple-tooth'.

Nice piece of fish posted:

Still brilliant.


Honestly, I kind of agree that King is "agressively mediocre" as a writer. He's like Michael Crichton without the talent or the ideas. To be fair, as I've gotten older I've gotten a lot more picky and nitpicky.

It's actually really hard to write horror, now that I think on it. Film is a much better medium for horror, I think.

Well, Wake obviously can't think of anything original. An FBI agent named after a bird? Thomas Harris would want to have a word. No wonder Nightingale thinks Allan is a hack.

In Allan's defence, you'd expect a kidnapped victim to sound more panicked.

Kidney stones... They're crystallized uric acid, no? Bummer in any case, chief.

Still, could be worse. I remember one goon regaling about their... pancreatic stones, I think? That's supposed to be hellishly painful.

Edit: Really unsure as to which organ it was, reflecting on it. I just remember the descriptions of the agony.

I don't know why you are being so disparaging of our avian friends, CJacobs. Haven't you heard? The birds are the word!

Also, I like to think Alan shooting off all those flares results in a very annoyed rescue helicopter crew dogging his movements.

Shadow Thermy's dialog:

Drink responsibly. Drinking TOO MUCH Coffee at once may give you BAD POOPS!

Interesting thing about coffee (from the Sawbones podcast). Nobody knows why coffee does that.

BTW Jacobs, they couldn't have had that mid-boss you were talking about in the game. It would have been a bridge too far.

Well, Alan being a fictional character would explain why he's such a crappy author.

Has there ever been a study on advertising being so blatant that it actually lowers the chances of a person buying the product? Because when I saw that goddamn phone I just got angry at Verizon.
