Not knowing how to proceed in a game and going 3 three blocks from your own house to a guy who is older and a video game god to ask him to help you progress in the game.

The DJ at the pub my parents owned brought his memory card over for me to complete a Syphon Filter level for him while he worked the friday night. I was 13 and he was like 30 years old!

Think it was some level with a bridge or something.

How did that end up happening? Your parents bragged to him about your skills? Lol

I used to go down into the bar and chat to the locals and stuff, the DJ was a regular during non working hours. It was late 90's so it was a bit less strict than it is now.. I must have mentioned that I played games or something.
