> and then the guy started running around the arcade (Sega Center) yelling "This guy is the best Space War player!" over and over again while pointing at me. I was pretty embarrassed for him. He sounds refreshingly honest and self aware to me. He went around loudly letting everyone know he was the best player, when proven wrong he just as loudly informed everyone of the correction. Everyone should be more like the second best Space War player in the world.

Maybe he just wanted to let the Powers That Be know who to move on to. ;) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Game_of_Pool_%28The_Twilight_Zone,_1959%29 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Game_of_Pool_%28The_Twilight...

  Nice reference. Gonna have to binge some Twilight Zone now. I can't find the exact quote from Highlander (TV series, not the movie) where Duncan has a friend, the "best swordsman in Europe", but he says something like, "don't ever be the best... God forbid you lose your nerve but they keep coming." Found the episode at least [0]. [0] https://highlander.fandom.com/wiki/Courage https://highlander.fandom.com/wiki/Courage
