@-MasterDex-: Dear lord... 73 hours straight. I enjoyed the game, but how in the world did you find the time for that death defying feat? #grandtheftautoiv
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
@Burning: Considering there is a Guinness World Record for rolling an orange across an airport with your nose, I would have to agree. They are by and large meaningless...
It's a sad day when a man is recognized for his ability to fight the callings of his circadian rhythm. Even sadder that he actually trained for it. #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
@Cptn.PaxtonAstypalaea(Corsair): Oh, I knew what it was. I watched some of the livefeed of the charity play. Thus the part about paying for my food for the time as well :D
God knows I've got little better to do than chat with people while driving a bus slightly to the left for hours on end. #grandtheftautoiv
4 breaks in 40 hours. That's a poop break every 10 hours, or so. That's one healthy bowel. I admire him. Or, at the very least, I envy his digestive tract. I wonder if he does the Metamucil? #grandtheftautoiv
@Malboro: "I enjoyed the game very much," he says. "It's fun playing long hours. It wasn't that exhaustive for me, as one might feel" #grandtheftautoiv
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.
Around the 35 hour mark he did begin to hallucinate that he was bee-suit Mario though. Just check out the video footage. [tinyurl.com]#grandtheftautoiv

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
@postretro: Well, I don't know about you but I personally play games for entertainment. I don't watch TV to impress a single person, nor do I read a book to impress, nor do I watch a movie to impress. All those things I do for my own recreation.
I do get where you're coming from, though. I can't spend too much time playing games without feeling the need to do something else. #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
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
@MrBionic: Can I twink my characters with gear from other SP characters? If I can do just that, with no other help, I think I could probably go (in v1.10) from level 1 to Patriarch in about 10 hours.
@MrBionic: In the very low key and very thriving Diablo 2 Single Player community, that's not cheating. That's just become accepted. The game's designed around using stuff your high level characters find to help speed along your next ones. #grandtheftautoiv
@Karlott: I'm not saying it's cheating in the context of playing alone, I'm saying it would be cheating in the context of my rules for my offer :D Which, if anyone was truly serious about, I'd lay out in print. #grandtheftautoiv
And for his next trick, Mr.Patnaik will play WoW for three consecutive days without rest, food, or water; upon dying he will realize that he hasn't even set a record for the game. #grandtheftautoiv
