One of my all-time favourite things to learn about people is thier White Whales. The artifacts that elude them, seemingly near and out of reach simultaneously. Is it a lost Doctor Who episode? A toy with a defect that only had a single run in the 70s? A copy of an unreleased game that you watched the trailer for over and over again? (Stargate SG-1: The Alliance, my beloved.)
Today (as I write this, a couple of week ago for you fine folk), the E3 2003 demo of Halo 2 arrived on Steam, completely remade using original files. That's the energy I love about White Whales. Some folk rebuilt a slightly different demo for a game they've probably played hundreds of times? Why? Because when Master Chief drew those two SMGs and an entire E3 crowd exploded into whoops and cheers a core memory was formed. Because, if you let it, excitement never dies.
In summary, there was no way in hell I wasn't going to tear open that Defiant.
Keep on hunting!
