In third grade I moved to a new town. If you've ever experienced this, you know that you wind up hanging out with a lot of different people before you figure out who your real friends are. Well one of the people I hung out with in this trying-people-out phase was a kid named Brian. He had a big square head and was extremely shy and was always grimacing for some reason. Looking back there was probably something wrong with him. But he was one of the only kids in class with a Game Boy and Pokemon, so I invited him over because I didn't have a Game Boy and I wanted him to show me the game. We wound up sitting in my basement with him gripping the Game Boy and me just listening to him breathe. I tried to talk to him about the game but he would only let out a few words. Just totally focused on the game. Finally I asked him if I could play, and he very reluctantly handed me the Game Boy and started a New Game because he didn't want me playing his (fine) and told me very emphatically not to save. In the opening part of the game, I didn't know what to do. I was wandering around like a total noob (and I was one). I was lost. So I asked him, "Hey, Brian, can you help me out here?" And he told me I had to find Professor Oak's coffee. That's what I had to do. Find Oak's coffee. I was like, drat, OK, coffee, right. I spent like ten minutes wandering around trying to find his coffee, going in all the houses and stuff. Finally he offered to just do it for me so I handed him back the Game Boy. He didn't give it back to me and eventually his mom picked him up and took him home. Later on I found out of course that's not what you do. There's no freaking coffee. He was lying to me. He just wanted the game back. It was the biggest gaming lie I believed.

I believed a lot of dumb Pokemon rumors because I was a really naive kid. I remember some kid at a summer camp told me all this really weird ones like being able to hack people's Pokemon games remotely through their trainer ID, etc.

but yea, games have gotten better

I have so many loving roguelikes and I can play planetside 2 and have huge battles of hundreds of players

or I could play older games with completely hosed hitboxes and awful controls

not to say I don't love the older games for what they were, but games have def improved

If you swim far enough in a certain direction in Morrowind you encounter the biggest creature in the game, a giant sea monster. I tried this and the dude who told me said "nah you must have just swum in the wrong direction" so I checked the construction set and found no record of any such creature.
