Man Beats, Breaks Bejeweled 2 After 2,205 Hours

[biofrog]

I've been playing the original puzzle quest on my phone for a couple years.. Once you 'win' you can keep playing, and eventually it will go in to 'Tutorial' mode where only you can move, but cant use spells, while the opponent doesn't have a turn.

But if you keep playing, it will eventually wrap around somewhere internally and the spells will come back, plus the opponent will start fighting again. I've got somewhere over 100k exp now (where around 15k will give you max level). Even better, because of the class I chose my Battle Mastery (green) skill keeps getting +1 with more exp, so I think I'm up around a maximum of 83 green energy currently.

It's fun 🙂

or a 64 bit (instead of a 32 bit) integer which would leave a maximum possible score of 9,223,372,036,854,775,807...
...good luck beating that...

An unsigned integer has a max of 4,294,967,295. I give him 2 more years to break that!

And then we can convert the value to a floating point number?

Well, I put 1,000 (+/- 50) hours into WoW, and then another 300 into private servers.
I thought I was addicted. :O

"Have you put that much time into a single game before?"
Ask anyone who has played WoW since 2004...

This guy could do it. He'd just need to retire early and make this his life's work.

How did they calculate how long he had played overall?

 

[wonspur]

thats just under 92 days of play time.... people do more of that in WoW...and im not talking over 3 years, im talking 1 year.

[citation][nom]kriswitak[/nom]When Mike collected that next gem match, the additional 2,200 points would have put his score above the maximum ‘calculable’ score, and much like some of the original arcade games, it caused his score to ‘flip around’ to a negative number.Learn to read, nub.[/citation]

You need to learn to read, look at the 5th digit. It changed from a 4 to a 7. That was the question why did this digit change? Must have been a typo imho.

I can't tell whether his achievement was a good or a bad thing. From what I know, scoring 2billion on anything besides the lottery is... well, you know.

Achievement?! I would barely call wasting 3 years over a 'casual game' an achievement of idiocy.

[citation][nom]Shadow703793[/nom]No offense, but look harder. You really should not be playing games if you don't have a job... just saying.[/citation]

Right, they should be out begging on the corner, or just walking around aimlessly asking people for work. Get some exercise, geez. If you have time to play video games you have time to be a public nuisance, and a grim reminder of the current economic reality.

wow, that's sad , a man with no life at all

That is exactly what I was thinking. I know someone who got over a year (yeah thats over 365 days or 8760 hours if you prefer) in cumulative playtime in his account. Its sad.

But on a more personal note, Id say that I have well over 92 days of CSS and Diablo2­.

Don't insult the guy. In fact, that sort of singlemindedness could be harnessed to great effect. I would set this guy up with a World of Warcraft account; teach him to play; then let him farm for my guild.

Yea MMOs are designed to make you play longer, and having others around to talk too keeps you playing as well, Bejeweled is a single player game consisting of just clicking and moving gems, it ain't easy to play a game like that for so long without shooting your brains out.
