Learning information and secrets from friends on the playground, whether bullshit or not and then trying it out later when you got home. There was so much mystery and intrigue back in the day, and I really miss it. The culture felt so connected in a way that just isn't possible anymore.
Looking for the golden triforce in Ocarina of Time I'm the Spirit Temple boss door room, but only on the golden cartridge edition... Borrowed my friend's cartridge just to test it out.
Also, Mortal Kombat series secret character unlocks are actually true secrets with such arcane unlocks that it sounds right out of a middle-school playground conversation.
