In four hours you can beat Metroid...

Richard and Johnny had the urge to play some Old School Nintendo and what better game to satisfy that craving than Metroid!? John donned his Metroid t-shirt, they busted out one of John's two original Nintendos (he has a back up in case one breaks), and powered up the laptop to find online "hints" (aka Cheats) to help them maximize their time. Four hours later, they had beat the game once. Two hours after that, they were trying to beat it again, this time as fast as possible. They maintained they were doing it quickly just for the heck of it (not because at the end of the game it is revealed that underneath the helmet, Samus is a smokin' hot redhead and if you beat the game quickly enough, she'll strip down to her bikini!) (If you're a 9 year old boy I can see the attraction, but an almost 30 year old man?? Give me a break!) Meanwhile, I used a lazy Sunday afternoon to read a whole book! To each his own (geeky vice)!
