Swimmer Plays GTA IV for 55 Hours, Sets Record

[socrates047]

ever heard of a bake sale. lol

That is some record. I pulled 37 hours on CS 1.6 a long time ago.... Summer vacation and I was 15, good times.

Holy shit. Thats a LONG time , I can only play 2-4 hours a day before I can't handle the same game any more. I usually get up and eat after 3 hours. Then do something else for a while. and if I finally feel like it , play games again. Maybe.

I played "regular" 12 hours matches of Starcraft (custom maps) with a group of friends of mine back in the day...

We played 3 days straight, no sleep, downed 2 cans of coffee and almost went to the hospital after our parents found out, rofl. Just keep the food coming and tell your folks you were having time for sleeping, hahaha.

Ah, the good ol' days...

I'd say the feat here was GTA IV being played more than 15 minutes straight. THAT's a feat of strenght.

Cheers!

I gamed for 73 hours to finish Frozen Throne addon when it poped out. I drank about 8x2L Fanta Orange bottles and smoked 10 packs of Kent Blue(8),6 Bags of Chips, went tot he toiled around 4 times.

Ahhh the good'ol'days. Now i barley get 1-2h of gaming.I even quit smoking. But now i got a crapload of stuff bought and i dont really have time to use it, the irony of it all.

Personal best is about 36 hours of Final Fantasy XI.

Does it count if you get up to use the restroom, or get a snack, or meal?

I was 25 at the time, and single. I wish I could go back for just one more marathon session like that. Good Times.

Why do I have the feeling that in the next few days there's going to be a case or two of someone having a heart attack after a long gaming session...?

 

[Regected]

I've beat that before. In high school, I played GT2 for 4 days straight. That completed almost all of the game except two endurance races, which would have tacked on another 6-12 hours.

 

[flaminggerbil]

Bullshit that's the longest ever, what about that guy (Korean if I remember correctly) who died playing WoW for like 3-4 days solid?

 

[NapoleonDK]

I can tell from the comments here and my own experience, that MANY people have technically "beaten" this record. However, the details are still a bit vague. Bio-breaks ect... Can anyone link to the Guinness article? Bragging rights are only good if you have truth to back them up!

 

[anamaniac]

Is that completely non stop? Such as, not even stopping for an hour to eat?
There was a south korean dude who went from lvl 1-60 in one session in WoW (about 5 days if I remember).

That's probably the one I was thinking of (he died)!

GTA IV for fund-raising isn't exactly the best idea

 

[Raidur]

I've played for 72 hours straight back in my EQ days thanks to my ol friend adderall lol, wamp wamp. Those were the days...

 

[Raidur]

And yes I took bio and food breaks, never over 15 minutes. I wasn't trying to set a record or anything, just had an obsession with that game when I was younger lol. I did lay down for about 30 minutes on night 2. I gave up and got back onto grinding. Ended up with close to 200 days of play time on 2 accounts 'boxed' before I quit that damn game.

 

[Guest]

im sorry but alot of people have bet 72 hours+ straight and lived. so this is NOT a world record.

 

[Atticah]

he's a swimming coach with no pool?

 

[cj_online]

lol wtf i can stay up for atleast 1 whole week straight... i could easily break this record... just that the game gets so boring... bah

 

[bamslang]

[citation][nom]snowmanwithahat[/nom]I'm almost 100% sure that this has been beaten but no one ever bothered to record it.WOTLK expansion release for WoW for example... I know there was people that were up for more than 48+ hours leveling, took them roughly 3 days play-time to go from 70 to 80.[/citation]

Actually, the fastest person leveled to 80 in under 24 hours. This was also the case for first person from 70-80.
