John Manz a 32 year old Miami liquor store clerk, described himself as completely whiped Monday after a long and hard day of video games.
"I'm totlled" said Manz, tossing his Playstation 2 controller onto the floor following one last cool down game of Madden 2002. "That crap really takes it out of you." Manz, who has logged two decades of back breaking toilon systems ranging from Intellivision to Sega Genesis, woke up at the crack of noon and went straight to work. "I had the whole day off from the liquor store and I thought today's the day I roll up my sleeves and eearn all the extra characters in SSX Snowboarding," Manz said. "Man it was a grind. They make you snowboard over the same course and do the same tricks, like a thousand times to get a new character," said Manz , who, through discipline and a stong work ethic, was able to earn the snowboards Sumo Stick, Chaos Cripper, and Bloo Goo after four hours of labor.
"I must've traveled 50 miles before I got complete brain fade." he continued. After a breif lunch of toast, jelly, and a Coke, Manz turned to Tomb Raider2, a game he admitted he had put off finishing for more than a year.
"It was time to hunker down and get it done," Manz said. "I'm kind of sick of the whole Lara Croft thing, but I decided I'd procrastinate long enough. I was determined to get to the end of this game, even if it killed me." Though he guesses he enjoyed himself, Manz said the three hour session of Tomb Raider 2 was by no means easy. "I muat have dragged about 1,000 blocks around and climbed over the dumb thing," ha said. "And I kept getting killed, so in the end I wound up doing it 11 times on the Tibetan Catacombs level alone. And those blocks they made were as big as me. I had to push the D-pad all the way front for this task and it was so exhasting." he mummered.
At approximately 7:30 p.m. he finally completed Tomb Raider 2. After watching the game's 90 second closin video, a reward he called "hardly worth all the effort," Manz tidied up his memory card files and resumed the robot quest he began last Thursday on the rented game Zone of The Enders.
"I wanted to finally kill Tempest without wrecking all those buildings," said Manz, his finger numb from prolonged exposure to DualShock controller vivbrations. "I had like 9 dollors in late fees on the game, but I wasn't taking it back until I got an A rating on all the missions, rescued all the colonists, and got to the versus mode. It takes about eight hours, but it's the best part of the game. It stinks that I had to fight about 200 other Orbital Frame Robots to get there, though. I'll be paying for that tommorow, that is for sure."
Somtime shortly after midnight, Manz decided he was "in a major robot rut" and opted to cleanse his tired palate with a sports game. If I went to bed(after Zone of The Enders), I knew I'd be seeng dead robots in my sleep, so I decided on a quick game of Madden 2002," said Manz, who played half a season as the Baltimore Ravens before noticinf the VCR clock reading 4:00a.m.
"CHRIST, am I blown out." said Manz, twisting and steching to ease the strain on vertabrate which had not moved appreciably for an entire day. "My eyes feel like they're on fire, and I never did unlock the last two hidded areanas in Zone of the Enders. It never ends."
"I suppose I should return that game to BlockBuster tommorow, if I have the energy," he continued. "Sure is a long walk."
