Ya got good taste in music, that is undeniable.

Max Payne looking happy is a cursed image.

Guy went from "We don't have a budget for cutscenes so i'll just ask my mom and friends to pose for some photos and well photoshop them look like comic panels and use them" to "Lets make a musical" during his career.

@maxiephly4387 specially because he wanted to do Alan Wake 2 for years, as well as this musical segment.

[@urhomarkkanen]

It was awesome being at the Remedy HQ watching the Game Awards and everyone there started singing during the chorus, and especially when Sam came on stage. A couple people recorded the reaction, though I don't know if they have been posted anywhere

[@Limealicious]

Ooo I hope they are, I'd love to see it!!

[@prettieboiswag6659]

Congratz on the awards, you guys really deserved it

[@Cinetyk]

Please make everyone post what they have! You guys are awesome and this was the sweetest of moments :)

Congrats guys, it was a great year for gaming for sure!

Old Gods of Asgard (Poets of the Fall) has always been such a staple for Remedy games. Everyone here killed it with their performance.

[@BIGD-cc7ru]

Is OGoA and PotF the same band or something?

[@user-yv6lf5yd3m]

@@BIGD-cc7ru old gods of asgard is a band in remedy universe but yeah their music was always poets of the fall music

[@BIGD-cc7ru]

@@user-yv6lf5yd3m ahhhh ok. Makes sense

[@Skozerny]

The vocalists voice sounded a bit tired but still overall great

[@WLxMusic]

@@user-yv6lf5yd3m They aren't just the Remedy band though. They've become pretty big in their home country Finland, after Late Goodbye in Max Payne. But yes, they did begin their journey as a Remedy band. I'm so proud of them. They've come so far. They're own music is also so good. They deserve this recognition.

[@delmattia96]

The person singing together with "Mr Door" is the voice of Alan Wake, Matthew Peretta, and also the face of Dr. Casper Darling (the Scientist from the live action videos of Control and the author of the "The Many World Theory" book in Mr. Door's room in the studio. It's so fun to see both him and Ilka Villi (the face and body of Alan Wake) in the same place!

[@delmattia96]

I probably should have waited 5 more seconds for it to be said in the video, lmao!

[@tonybippitykaye]

Two things I absolutely loved about the game awards: Swen accepting GOTY in a suit of armor Sam getting up on stage and dancing with the biggest smile I’ve ever seen on a game directors face. Like look at that man and tell me he’s not on top of the world right now!

[@Nanoqtran]

Games are weird because games are made by weird people. So it's nice to see the weirdness embraced instead of snuffed out. Seeing people allow themselves to be their authentic self is something we need more of and I'm just glad they are getting their recognition.

[@Loki.Leviah1337]

watching same lakes biggest smile on stage while dancing made me so happy.. i had tears in my eyes.. xd

[@sleeplessindefatigable6385]

that transition between "I'm too smart and cool for this" to *gasps of excitement and wide eyed wonder* was both instant and utterly precious.

[@epicadventureturtle1363]

Old gods of asgard made it into the top 10 on itunes, making them more successful than their actual identity poets of the fall. Alan really is altering reality.

[@mugiwaralee9592]

The coolest thing to me about this, is how meta this is. Because the irl actors ALSO portray the characters in the game, this type of performance can only be possible with Alan Wake. You couldn't do this with any other game. It fits so perfectly with the overall theme of Alan Wake, transcending reality and breaking the 4th wall. This was so fucking cool.

[@fauxgodling]

how many layers of meta would you like sir? sam lake: YES

[@dasc2428]

Poets of the Fall are by far my favourite band. Their music is super detailed and varied in style. Their normal stuff is even better than the things they do as Old Gods.

[@shawnknock]

Alan Wake 2 is one of the best games I’ve played in a while, I’m so glad it’s getting the love it deserves

[@lexiette8343]

I love how Poretta dances with them too despite totally not having to

[@Akhaandir]

Stumbled across Laimu when i went to rewatch this performance on youtube, and anyone who vibes and fangirls over Poets of the Fall like this gets an instant follow from me. So glad Alan Wake and Control are introducing more people to one of the best bands out there

[@JohnnyFerno]

I don't think I've ever seen a Vtuber model jam out like yours! The movements and rigging are doing so much to sell just how much you're jamming and vibing to this amazing piece! Looks amazing :D

[@matthewhostetter8974]

Watching Limes reaction during the livestream and then going back and watching it again, brings so much joy. Next to Flute Guy ascending to a new level, this was amazing on so many levels. I can't believe the madlads pulled it off.

[@atlev]

This might be the happiest Limes has ever been omg lol

[@JC21]

Seeing the contrast between Limes' utter excitement as a huge fan of the game and Vinny's utter CONFUSION as someone who knows nothing about the game is absolutely hilarious. I've never played the game either but that performance was the highlight of the show.

My school did a production of 'A Mid-Summer Nights Dream', and I was supposed to be the understudy for Puck, but the guy playing Oberon quit, so I got the part. Instead of hiding behind a tree when the humans came on stage, I wore grey and black, pretending to be a rock. One of the actresses sat on my back.

I have to thank you, limes because I have a very hard time finishing games due to how my brain works so i didnt finish Alan Wake 1, I watched your vods so I could keep up with the lore enough while watching my big brother play through Alan Wake 2 over discord. And because your videos exist it helped me get so invested into this series and its now one of my favorite game series ever!!

[@LenkyLad]

Old Gods of Asgard, and the World of Goo 2 reveal, were all that I needed from this event.

[@castform57]

I love how meta the show can be with the whole crew there. Poets of the fall as Old gods of Asgard, David Harewood as Warlin Door, Matthew Porretta as Alan Wake, Ilkka Villi as Alan Wake, and Sam Lake as Sam Lake. A real highlight of the whole show.

[@GilroyGoldBlood]

Sad that I missed out on this stream. Excited to watch through the vod when it's uploaded though. This whole performance was insane!

[@DoctorNemo446]

So Happy to see Limes that ecstatic about the song.

[@goda2525]

Now this is an appropriate reaction to the awesomeness that is this performance.

[@LeudieBlues]

To think I’ve seen a couple of people react to this and rip into Sam lake and call him a moron or a sellout. They don’t understand that this man Sam poured his heart and soul into this musical and had to fight tooth and nail just for it to be put into the game. Shame on them (not these two girls because they understand)

[@zack9692]

I was so hyped when the game got announced. Couldn't care less who they got to fund it as long as they infulenced development as little as possible. I just wanted more Alan Wake and more great games from Remedy. This was actually the only thing I watched TGA for.
