I got three mans!
In most Videlectrix games, "Mans" is used in lieu of "Lives" or "Men". While "lives" is the typical industry standard for gaming, some companies/games have been known to use "Men". In previews for Homestar Runner-related games or any other situation where the number of mans won't change, "3 mans" is normally displayed. (In Rabbit Algebra, however, 2x=6 is displayed. In this equation, x=3.) This is also a reference to bad translations.
At the beginning of the game Prey, by 3D Realms, the term "Mans" is used in a "Rune-Man" arcade machine that the player can interact with. Given that Prey was released in 2006, this is likely a reference to Homestar Runner.
