On the video game developer chart of weird to normal, and serious to goofy, where Hideo Kojima is weird/serious and Rare is normal/goofy, you'll find Remedy creative director Sam Lake firmly in the weird/goofy category.
His latest publicity stunt for the release of Alan Wake Remastered is proof of this, as the madman not only jumped into a freezing cold Scandinavian lake ("Cauldron Lake", he says) fully clothed, but also drank coffee in it. Sam, why?
The Coffee Thermos is an iconic part of Alan Wake, of course, but we're a little worried that dear Sam is going to keep up these stunts, and he'll end up getting possessed by the soul of a fridge to promote Control getting remade for the PS7 in a few years.
Alan Wake Remastered has reportedly been rated for Nintendo Switch, but we have no official confirmation on a release yet. The game will come to PC and other consoles next week, on October 5th.
What other developer stunts would you like to see? Randy Pitchford with a pitchfork? Warren Spector, haunted by spectres? Let us know in the comments.

LOL. Parks and Rec. Ted Day. Throw Ted in a lake.
He saw Toby Fox's costume thing for the Nintendo Direct and thought "hm. How about I do that. But wetter!"
Man he really has not aged one bit. I’d know that gurning face anywhere thanks to Max Payne!
Super excited for this game. Jeez this Tuesday is stacked for releases and ahem a certain announcement
Obligatory Alan Lake joke
After that, surely the game will break every sales record.

It's not that cold yet, I bathed outside a week ago.
“Will you try them in a lake?
Will you please try Alan Wake?”
@NoLife Pics or it didn't happen!
Max, dearest of all my friends
I wish Alan Wake Remastered was coming to Switch on Tuesday. Oh well, I pre-ordered a copy for PS5. If we get a Switch version on cartridge then I'll gladly buy it.
That was random.
Sooo, its October 5th and AW nowhere to be seen for Swicth. What am I missing?
