I do what I can!

[@kmym5709]

love how the archive materials have more information... the Anchor, my favorite Altered Item by far.

[@GamingUniversityUoG]

Nice to hear! This one has a lot going for it.

[@stapuft]

i lowkey hated it in the game LOL, its fight was LITERALLY impossible without cheating for me, as when it attacked, it crashed my game, due to spawning thousands of clocks at once. so i had to cheat and use the "golden bullet" to beat it without my game crashing, i only even thought of that, after a SOLID 4 hours trying to beat it before it attacks, which i found out is impossible, you can only manage to get it to 1/3 health before it attacks, and thats with the absolute best attack mods, on the sniper gun, and getting a crit on its weakspot with every hit.

[@kmym5709]

@@stapuft Not crashing from too many clocks😂😂 guess thats one reason to avoid the area. i had relatively easy clears my first two times fighting (OG and shum) , but somehow when i replay it i keep dying to it too! 😂 i see what you mean. That's kinda annoying.

[@stapuft]

@@kmym5709 i mean i even tried running it in "potato mode" with EVERYTHING set as low as possible......i mean it didn't crash then.....but it was impossible to play for a whole new set of reasons LOL. my computer wasnt made for gaming anyway, its a buisness laptop, with a quadro card in it, so i was lucky to be able to play the game at all, let alone on medium like i did through most of the game....i had to just completely disable one setting to get it to run at all, but i forgot what that was....possibly physix, if control even uses that...i had to use the nvidia control panel to do it whatever it was.

[@bravomike4734]

I wish Control 2 will have Emily Pope's research and reports on why the director is able to teleport between control points. Emily said she would like to conduct tests on that after the hiss crisis is over.

I remember a lot of people being filtered by this boss fight lol, not sure why Loved the video

[@GamingUniversityUoG]

Weirdly enough this is the first boss I best first try on my 1st run through of the game.

[@Nizati]

Gotta love that professional passive-agressive tone there. "If un-redacted copies of this report can be located this investigation can continue." Translation "If there was a lil less bureaucratic BS red tape everywhere, MAYBE I CAN DO MY DAMN JOB PROPERLY." hehe..... love it.

Lmao let's be honest anyone who works an office job feels this way. One of the big issues with the Trench administration

Really cool looking one. Plus any time we get a boss fight is incredible.

[@KC.665]

These type of videos are awesome bro

[@GamingUniversityUoG]

Glad you enjoy them! Been having fun playing around with this idea

[@f.m848]

I really want to see a video comparison of The Hiss vs The Dark Presence. their existence, powers, and threat level. Because they're both so invasive and similar on the surface, they both are immensely powerful and take over people. But on a deeper level, they couldn't be more different. - The Dark Presence feels like an anarchist individual who wants death and destruction for his own goals. he doesn't want just domination, he wants obliteration. It has a personality, you can almost put a face on it. there's a lot of malice to what he is and what he does. - But The Hiss just wants to spread and dominate, not for the sake of domination or ruling, that's just the tool to proliferate and spread. It never felt like it has any kind of personality or face, which made it so inhuman and terrifying. there's no malice to what it is or what it does, it just is the way it is. which is weird considering it's similar to Hedron, and she seems to have a personality.

[@GamingUniversityUoG]

I also look at it like active vs passive evil. Hiss being an infection is more s force of nature. Not actively causing harm from its perspective. Just spreading. Dark presence is far more active and intentional with the harm it causes.

[@stapuft]

......okay.......now im curious...........fossils, USED to be organic, but after such a long time, and the process of fissilization, they arent anymore.....so.....would a paranatural entity, consider fossils inorganic, organic, or somehow both? and what about if a person had some kind of medical implant and got sucked into the sphere, would its effects then effect both organic and inorganic things?

[@GamingUniversityUoG]

Honestly that would be a good question. In this situation we'd have to see if the hypothesis for organic vs inorganic is correct. After they throw a rat in there with a brain chip and see what happens.

[@momomonies]

“Black sphere with faint light behind it” Like the Formers projectile? That would explain its hostility later on in the timeline

[@GamingUniversityUoG]

In retrospect of Alan Wake 2... reminds me of an echo

[@stapuft]

i gotta say you use the photo mode with some amazing effectiveness, and get some GREAT shots with it.

[@GamingUniversityUoG]

We've been trying to figure out how many ways we can make use of photo mode

[@Zecteiro]

Seeing this video after AW2, makes me think if the Anchor has something related with the Dark Place. The description of the sphere ressembles a lot the echoes Alan have access. Also, time on the DP passes diferently. At last, on the start of AW2 the Cult of the Word (if I'm not wrong) says only those allowed by him (whoever he is) can enter de Dark Place. I wonder if there's a connection between all of those things.

[@XxFab5Mas13rxX]

How did you do that!!!! That’s so creepy 5:50!

[@ameliam9498]

Dude, you should totally do a review on the three AIs that totally have me bugging! 1. Maneki-neko cat. (And can you find any information on why the one in the lucky department seems different than the ones in the foundation. It's like the one in the lucky department is the outcast. Put on the cat ears and interact with the neko in the lucky department, it pops away but not sure where it goes. If you leave the room, it comes back so clearly I'm doing something wrong) 2. Smoking pram (what's was so special about the items discovery that the board sent an astral spike to destroy the archives.) 3. Vending machine (out of all the items in the house, why is the vending machine the only item not in a cell. And even if you run throughout the investigation department you never find a broken cell or containment center for it. Why?)

[@Beowolf-jy5rc]

for 3, well it only appear's in the investigation sector (if im not mistaken) so there's you're answer as to why it isn't contained.

@@Beowolf-jy5rc but the clock has a containment center within the investigation department. So why doesn't the vending machine, where did that thing come from? That thing basically runs the investigation department now.

@@Beowolf-jy5rc i wish I could post photos here. 😭 You might not know what I mean. There is a small office space, around the corner is a wall with a painting on the wall with a hole in it. Smash it! And follow through the room. At the end of the room is a clock, to complete the puzzle you have to remember all the times on the clock in Alan wake.

[@alucardv5312]

I really don't understand this Altered Item. Most other Items have an anomalous effect based on some commonly held view of the items function. The Anchor just distorts reality.

[@dragon1130]

Maybe it's because the anchor typically acts as a stopping force, "anchoring" an object in place (in this place anchoring reality). So when it is lifted it can distort reality? I don't know, I'm just grasping at straws here; I barely understand how the anchor works both in game and in the files, but, you're right, all Altered Items, and Objects of Power have SOME sort of correlation to the object and it's abilities. The safe protects itself with debris, the launch codes launch things, the stop light plays a game of red light green light,bthe creepy mannequin multiplies (don't need to explain that one), and so on. The only time we see AI's or OoP's acting out of character is when The Former messes with them (the refrigerator, and the flamingo.). Maybe The Anchor was being altered by The Former, or some other entity to act our of character?

[@GamingUniversityUoG]

I'd argue not all of the objects need to physically have something to do with the effect. I mean a human hand chair is guided by the moon and ocean tides. The two don't really tie together. I'd say some do some don't.

[@alucardv5312]

@@dragon1130 Put a little more thought into it. And it seems like the Archivist has a hypothesis based on PoP:002 (the bermuda triangle). To flesh out the train of thought a bit more would it be likely to say that the effect of AI11-UE (Ocelot's Anchor) is a sort of carry over effect of PoP:002. Or in layman's terms; it got some Triangle on it?

[@bravomike4734]

@@GamingUniversityUoG well they could always recon it as the human hand chair was made from a lunar meteorite.

[@bravomike4734]

@@dragon1130 It's possible that being in contact with the hiss altered it. Or perhaps even the clocks threshold itself. But otherwise more than half of the items were corrupted by the hiss. Also almost all of their cleansing looks like expelling hiss from the altered items.
