Sentence: Clyde suffered from Mariopia and it ruined his life. It started out with a simple Gameboy--black and white screen, bad graphics. Yet he was compelled to conquer it, and was willing to let his life fall into shambles around him.

The scene usually ends with the kid crying, Clyde taunting and security escorting him off the premises.
