I just upgraded Alan Wake 2 to play the expansions, which are AWEsome. I played all expansions for Alan Wake and Control as well and enjoyed them a lot. Remedy is one of the few developers that I would play a game from on day one or even preorder. Bethesda, not so much. I can still remember being unable to play Skyrim for months on PS3.
For what it’s worth, even the bad reviews agree that it’s bug-free and feature-complete at launch. It also seems to be at least competent as an action RPG, although not doing anything new with the genre. Where opinions wildly diverge is whether it’s a good Bioware and more specifically Dragon Age game.
I think it being a normal book on the outside is actually scarier. The knowledge in the book was dangerous, not the object itself.
I would never open the Book of the Dead from Evil Dead but I might open the Necronomicon if I find it at an antique bookstore or something.

He’ll probably write something more like: "HEY, Mr. Chat! Make me, TRUMP, the GREATEST health car PLAN ever, better than that of LAME and corrupt OBOMA!!!
About 100 million. Probably more, since they had a whole thing with animated episodes to tell the lore already produced.
Videogame execs: Nobody wants singleplayer games! Let’s greenlight another PvP shooter!
Dogmeat particularly is definitely inspired by this movie.
Could be magnesium deficiency.
Weird Al: good weird Trump: bad weird
It’s not rocket science.
He also directed The Color out of Space with Nicholas Cage recently.
I think it’s a little odd the article omits the fact that Yanis Varoufakis was also the Greek minister of finance for quite a while.
It will only incentivize Elon (and all the other filthy rich) to build air conditioned luxury bunkers guarded by AI killerbots in places like New Zealand.
Or maybe something like the titular space station in the movie Elysium, where they enjoy the newest medical treatments while looking down on the rest of humanity trying to survive on a planet that has turned into a helhole.
