Hmm… I wonder which neighbour he could possibly be complaining about… 😂

Is there anyone else who was really rattled by the Pat Maine broadcasts? Listening to him succumb to the affects of either dementia or Alzheimer's, coupled with how Scratch's story is changing reality.
At first its a little subtle, and can easily be brushed off as the affects of what is making everyone believe Saga's daughter is dead. But then it just gets worse. The angry call from Wendy's husband, learning there never was any kind of beef jerky business, forgetting how to use his own broadcast equipment. The last one I heard was he was about to talk about Deerfest, apologizes for the "joke" everyone is trying to play on him by insisting Wendy is dead, unable to remember what he was talking about and then repeating everything before cutting the broadcast short. Like, I've never even personally had to deal with someone I know having to go through with this, but for some reason it just hit really hard. And the voice acting from everyone really sells it.
Its interesting how they put this little bit of realism in amongst all of the supernatural horror going on. And for so many people it is a horror story for them (not all, but many), whether dealing with the affects themselves or watching a loved one succumb to it. I don' t know why my brain won't leave this alone, can't stop thinking about it.

Happy fourteenth anniversary to this amazing game! This game not only introduced me to Remedy Entertainment but I was also introduced to Poets of the Fall. It’s truly one of a kind imo and its story is so interesting. I still remember the first time I played it and being blown away by how much I enjoyed it. I loved the characters and the creativity of the flashlight and how the songs were so catchy and I can never forget the first time I played the Children Of The Elder God section. What an amazing game, Happy anniversary Alan Wake.

My brother's theory on Pat Maine
His theory is that Pat did in fact see Wendy Davis... more specifically, he saw her Taken repeating his later talk about her beef/moose jerky.

WHY has no one talked about these panels. fuck it its 12 am (at the time of me "finishing" (<- not even close) writing this, its nearly 2 am) im going to talk about them
ahem.
before i get to the Main Point i wanna discuss chils tendency to spiral into his thoughts
like, sure, yeah, he's a reasonable guy. real logical-- but he tends to rush through so many possibilities and in this scene even berates himself for his tiny mistake. every thought in this scene goes so fast to me here, just "snap snap snap, call for help, no thatll attract too much attention- wait is there a switch? crap its too far away- nevermind lets just wait for marcille- but can i trust her with that?? god im so stupid, am i just gonna be trapped here until morning???" and it takes a moment for him to stabilise and snap out of it
like... he even has a little pep talk about it
i guess you could take this as him merely being a quick thinker? but i highly doubt it -- look at this fucking guy.
anyways. hes always got to be eased out of it one way or another, whether that be complainerism (self-explanatory), strategising with another person (that way all the insecure thoughts get pushed to the back in favour of working together), reassuring himself (discussed above) or...
you. could.
distract him.
place a brick wall in front of that zooming train of thought and watch it crash and burn :)
he doesnt even respond in that first pic, by the way. in fact, he doesnt say anything for another 3 (and a bit) pages, and by then the topic has been safely switched (granted those three pages are just marcille and laios making the familiars, but i feel it still stands that there was no response at all, not even visually)
secondly, in that other instance -- see how his eyes go wide as saucers when contact is made? and how they turn into pinpricks once he looks back**? god. and. like.
oh. fuck. ive gottta continue this in a reblog since ive reached the picture limit on mobile -- i am not even a THIRD of a way through all my thoughts on this- we didnt even get to my footnote!! sit tight everyone :)

So I just got my third Pat Maine broadcast (while scare music played in a loop in the background lol) and what the FUCK. Is going on with him? What is with this thing with him not knowing/believing this woman is dead??? Is he affected by the story, or is he not?
Also uh... how about Mulligan huh?
