There's no more frustrating feeling in videogaming than wanting to recapture an experience that you've already had and can never find again. Solving a puzzle for the first time, uncovering a secret, the feeling of playing a game before it got boring - videogames are littered with one-time moments that we can never see again.
It's very tempting to try and recapture our lost glories and relive our favorite moments from our favorite games all over again, but what if the opposite was not healthier, but would also cure us of this weird nostalgic curse? The Architect should know - between venturing into multiple versions of Hyrule, politically sensitive battlefields and more than one version of the same haunted house, one thing has become clear, whilst it is impossible to see a game for the first time twice, that's - spoilers - not always a bad thing.

Comments
This video did not go in the direction I expected (basically "you cannot step into the same river twice"), but as always, you revealed something new to me about why I do or don't feel engaged with a game. And that line "in the hopes that a 100% completion percentage will fulfill us"--ouch. That's me, alright.
