I had my own story of glory. I was in college (1996) and I was in the downtown college bar/club strip. It was at the very beginning of my college career and I hadn't made friends yet. Anyway there was an old Galaga game and I started playing.

I employed the tick that makes it so enemies can't fire.

I then proceeded to play to a very high level. Well a bunch of people say me playing and were so impressed at how far I was getting int he game. They didn't realize that I had employed the "trick".

I was cool moment and I felt like a star for just a brief moment.
