    I probably beat this 'record' back during my competetive Team Fortress Classic and Counter-Strike days.

    Does anyone else think that these Guinness 'World Records' are a joke? They're lame advertising and publicity stunts thinly disguised as doing something meaningful.

    I saw Rob Dyrdek win a record for the 'largest skateboard ever' or something like that. I didn't know there was a competetive field of giant skateboard riders.

    If your the only one trying to do something, is that accomplishment really a 'record'? #grandtheftautoiv

    @puffa469: I don't think Guinness World Records have ever been "meaningful". They're not supposed to be. Yeah, it's a "record", in that it's a feat that's not been equalled. Doesn't mean it needs to be important... #grandtheftautoiv

    How about a World Record for longest play of Desert Bus? Now that would be impressive!

    These "Records for playing a particular game for longest time" records always seem a bit odd, specially with a sequel like this. What happens when GTA V comes out, and everyone stops playing GTA IV entirely, let alone to try and break this record? #grandtheftautoiv

    @KarmaKamikaze: [www.meatfighter.com] Here's your "copy". You do realise what it is right? The most boring video game ever designed. Purposely. You're driving a bus down a featureless road. You get a point for every 8 hrs I think it says. And oh yeah, the bus veers to the right ever so slightly, so you have to be active at all times. It is a game people were playing for Charity, as it is 100% a chore. I just had a little go. I got to about 1.2 miles before I stopped playing seriously, and drove off the side of the road to see what happens.... #grandtheftautoiv

    The Guiness Book of World Records?!? Seriously?

    Man, I remember when the book was all about the freaks. I use to read it for the worlds longest toe nails, the man with the biggest brain tumour, the heaviest furry orgie in North America ect. ect.

    Now, it's all about being "politically correct" and shit. Blah.

    I'd love to see a GTA based in urban India - steal a small, reasonably-priced automobile and get stuck in gridlock with other small cars, mopeds, bicycles, wagons and livestock. The police would chase you, but they are dangerously understaffed. #grandtheftautoiv

    I start feeling guilty of the time I play video games after a couple of hours, like I really should be getting out there and trying to get laid or make trippy psy-trance music for hackers, or just dig a hole in the ground under the sun and have a beer after wards or something with even a shred of nobility to it. I mean I sort of do these things too, but really though did I HAVE to play The Darkness instead?

    The only thing I hate about playing video games is that you are pretty much going to impress not a single fucking person with all that time you spent collecting nukacolas. #grandtheftautoiv

    I once played Diablo II from the beginning of the game, to the end of Hell Difficulty, in one sitting.

    Hahahaha, ok, no I didn't, but there you go. Get on it, you slackers.

    If someone can document that achievement with official witness (same criteria as Guinness) before Diablo III is released, I will buy their surviving family members Diablo III. #grandtheftautoiv

    @MrBionic: You, sir, are on.

    I once played KOTOR for 36 hours straight, and I'm pretty sure I only took one or two breaks.

    I tend to play games for long periods of time quite often as I have insomnia. If I'm not playing a game, I'm probably blogging, or going to school, or juggling 3 liters of Mt. Dew for sheer spectacle, or masturbating. That's right, I said it - juggling 3 liters. I get the same reaction from everyone when I tell them this; that deer-in-the-head-lights look never gets old. #grandtheftautoiv
