In the heyday of the 1984 video game Duck Hunt, there was no social media, no internet, and no easy way of informing the general public of video game tricks.

But now, we have Twitter. And Seth Rogen just shared a major Duck Hunt revelation after having kept it to himself for 25 years.

Apparently, you could use the second player controller on Nintendo to control the duck.

Rogen found out by chance, when he accidentally sat on the controller.

This piece of outdated video game information really had people feeling shook. Including some celebrities who you may or may not have imagined being video game nerds in the '80s.

It turns out that this particular Duck Hunt feature has played a major role in some people's childhoods.

And to think that all this time, the answer lay with Seth Rogen.

Better late than never, I guess.
