    Reminds me of another 10 year old first-timer story...

    Back in 2004, just purchased my first 2 games (LOTR/TSPP). My son was 10 and he brought a friend over...they played all afternoon. When I returned, I was SHOCKED that his friend beat my GC score (don’t recall the score). For years, I told folks about his savant-like pinball skills. Last time I recalled the story, my son (now 24) was in the room and reluctantly disclosed his friend took the glass off to artificially boost his score. Odd that a 10 year old would go to such lengths to impress/cheat...kid ended up being a successful stunt man.
