If there comes a time when you want to do something, anything in particular: Never, ever give up for anything short of the instantaneous end of all of existence ever getting in your way. It was never any of the people who bow out in defeat before obstacles who were responsible for any of the mods that the wide-eyed, fresh young newbies will sit down and play and, seeing the love put into the worlds therein, from the easter eggs, to the little touches, from the ones that stand out inside the nooks and crannies, to the ones you have to hunt down and are rewarded more than any secret area, feeling heartwarmed, and sometimes laughing it up with the injokes or anything else, to the visual noise that beats out rooms stuck together then swathed with sector detail like a spastic with a set of multicoloured paint cans by far, and once they reach the great conclusion, the story's wrapped up and they've won, the credits have rolled, and the developer's room or the big To Be Continued has shown up at the end, and everything ends in a proper sense of finality, they think to themselves "I can do something just like this. I know that I can." Awe-struck. Inspiredly.
No, it was the people who, sometimes even blindly repetitiously so, try in the face of anything and everything. There are reformats. There are hard drive crashes and silly stupid editor mishaps. And, sometimes.. your computer is stolen. No matter what, you trip on an obstacle, you get up, dust yourself off, and keep on going.
