Yes, looking up on a guide how to get the stairs to fall down on Legend of Zelda: The ocarina of time in the 2nd dungeon pre-adulthood. Apparently, I didn't understand the domino effect of Bomb Flowers (For those of you who don't remember, there was a big pillar surrounded by bomb flowers lined up next to each other, with a bomb flower suspiciously absent in the middle. You blew it up and stairs descended). I cannot say in truth that I've never used a guide to beat every Zelda game because of that one night! The night before christmas, actually. I was playing to speed up time before Santa would come, and time slowed to a stop when I couldn't figure out how to drop the damn stairs! My excuse is that I was only...single digits, lets say, when the game came out. Maybe I was 9?
To be slightly more serious, I also have some 'typical teenage relationship bullshit and angst', stealing the label from Noamuth, that is actually still influencing my life today...sadly.
