Weird Weekend is our regular Saturday column where we celebrate PC gaming oddities: peculiar games, strange bits of trivia, forgotten history. Pop back every weekend to find out what Jeremy, Josh and Rick have become obsessed with this time, whether it's the canon height of Thief's Garrett or that time someone in the Vatican pirated Football Manager.
Anybody who is as hopelessly obsessed with Source engine games as I am will probably remember SiN Episodes: Emergence. Released in 2006, Emergence was the first part of Ritual Entertainment's massively ambitious plan to follow-up its 1998 FPS SiN. This plan, which dwarfed the aspirations of Half-Life 2's episodic expansions, would have told the sequel's story across a total of nine episodes, representing three games' worth of experiences developed over a decade.
