ninjas!

whereby there's a huge computer game championship featuring modern games I've never seen or heard of (I pretty much gave up gaming in the 90s) and I walk in and the crowd stop and stare:
"What's that he's got in his hand?"
"It looks like a crappy early 90s joystick!"
and I calmly plug it in and manage to beat all the professionals as if I was a Kevin Costner character or something.
And then I get the girl. And then we... anyway, I'm boring everyone, you don't want to know the rest.
