The Pensky File

One of my main memories of the video game "Myst" is that it was the only video game my father ever played. We collaborated, trying to solve the annoyingly challenging puzzles. Eventually, I secretly bought the game's strategy guide and read it cover to cover, memorizing solutions. When I suddenly knew the answer to an especially tough puzzle, my father was curious about my sudden insight. I confessed to using the guide, and I'll always remember his look and the loud sigh of intense disappointment. It's a memory that makes me laugh - and I'm still the type to use a guide if I get stuck. If not for me, he'd still be fumbling through that music note / mine cart puzzle.
