I mean... wtf? He even gets a 10 minute break every hour?!?! I rented Paper Mario back in college and played it 44 of 47 hours just because I wanted to beat it without having to rerent it. Someone research this and break it during the next no-sleepathon or something.

What the hell did you do for 47 hours? I have one file that I have 100% beaten, with all the letters delivered/star pieces found and such and that's standing at only 40 hours!

10 minute breaks every hour? For pete's sake, half of the Elite could smash that "WR" without breaking a sweat.

We should all do it.

I mean, me, Clemens, Henning, Lovins, whoever else, all sitting in a room going for WRs nonstop. We'd need some waiters and whatnot who could bring us soda and pizza, but there are enough eliters to go around. Man, we'd get insane WRs and break THIS "WR" at the same time.

Sign me up for that shit!

Is that the first file you ever got 100% on, Jimbo?

Ive never beaten PM, so I dont know, just was curious. I dont think I could handle playing a game for 44 hours though, that seems really insane to me. The longest I have ever stayed up is like 28 hours. I remember when I was younger I would play Final Fantasy for like 12 hours a day for 4-5 days straight and I thought that was a lot. Sure I have played Goldeneye for ages if you add it all up, but thats in 4 or so hour sessions each day.

Everyone should get together and do this at the Virginia meet next year!

eating dates?

bcks · « **Reply #8 on:** October 22, 2009, 06:36:00 am »

If anybody noticed, it said he only took 4 breaks during that record, drank no coffee, and ate dates. Yes dates, strong stomach for the win.

Lovins · « **Reply #9 on:** October 22, 2009, 09:10:00 am »

I saw that last night, cool that a topic has been made about it. Of course the first thing that popped in my head is I could beat that! Ha. But yeah, I have to use meds to sleep so I'd just skip a night and stay awake easily. Maybe go 10 AM one day to 6 AM 2 nights later = 46 hours.

Easier said than done though.

GTA3 was better. I can totally see this happening.

Worlds-One · « **Reply #11 on:** October 22, 2009, 11:10:00 am »

This brings us back to my brilliant idea of having an "elite.net" house. This would probably be broken every other 5 days and or more because the hours keep adding up going for the "WR." LOL @ 44-47 hours.

Jimbo · « **Reply #12 on:** October 22, 2009, 12:27:00 pm »

Yeah David that was my first file, and chill out Patrik he knows I was just giving him crap.

47 hours? Pffffft... What a complete wuss. He should try playing Electro Chimp on TSFP for 100 hours.

mikerspd · « **Reply #15 on:** October 22, 2009, 04:48:00 pm »

I have no idea what I did for 44 hours (I said 44 of 47 straight hours, I think I slept/ate for 3 of them). I had beaten the game, and I was still searching for some yellow quadrilaterals (forget what they were called, star pieces I assume), but I don't remember anything about the game. Wasn't a fan. Was a good weekend, though.

It is nice to know that Guinness includes video game accomplishments, even if they are pathetic. 72 hours will come soon.

You sound like you were quite the party boy in college.

Infected Mind · « **Reply #17 on:** October 24, 2009, 03:41:00 pm »

Is that 40 hour for any game? If so I played starcraft for around 48 hours straight before when i was really into it, and I couldnt sleep cause I was doing alot of bad things. I know people who played some games over 60 hour straight. so i dont see that as an accomplishment lol

I think being on drugs "disqualifies" them, according to the rules of Guinness.

Infected Mind · « **Reply #19 on:** October 24, 2009, 08:01:00 pm »

That disqualifies me lol. but not these other ppl :P

How can you play a game 60 hours without being on drugs? Lol thats just ridiculous.

Infected Mind · « **Reply #21 on:** October 24, 2009, 10:46:00 pm »

People get addicted to games like WoW a little bit to much lol. I personnaly hate that game :P

Time was untied when set. · « **Reply #22 on:** October 25, 2009, 12:59:00 am »

Yeah I read a story about a guy in Japan or something who died in a computer lab because he played some MMO for 3 days straight, thats just fucking ridiculous.

Infected Mind · « **Reply #23 on:** October 25, 2009, 10:49:00 am »

Yeah lol.

Red Bull · « **Reply #24 on:** October 25, 2009, 11:14:00 am »

He died because he was too busy playing the game, and not eating anything or so. From what I can remember at least.

Matis · « **Reply #25 on:** October 25, 2009, 01:53:00 pm »

yeah WoW is pretty bad but its fun if you play it :P

I can play smash brothers for so long this record seems pretty lame

GuitarFailKid · « **Reply #26 on:** October 25, 2009, 04:20:00 pm »

I heard some guy in japan, maybe china, not sure... died from playing too much starcraft. he was on it constantly for 2 weeks. If there is any truth in it I don't know.

But lulz

Infected Mind · « **Reply #27 on:** October 25, 2009, 06:35:00 pm »

GuitarFailKid · « **Reply #28 on:** October 25, 2009, 10:13:00 pm »

RWG · « **Reply #29 on:** October 25, 2009, 10:54:00 pm »

Kingpin, it was actually something like 50-60 hours. I read the news story. Stop exaggerating.

GuitarFailKid · « **Reply #30 on:** October 26, 2009, 09:38:00 am »

^ It's just what I heard...... so the guy who told me was exaggerating.
