40 Hours? come on! I remember back in College, the local net cafe had a Friday 5pm - Monday 5am Counterstrike marathon. There was 30 of us, and about 18 where still standing monday morning... Talk about pussy Malays...

I wonder what the rules were(question mark)É

1. You can`t have a washroom break for more than two minutes, and you are allowed only two and half breaks.

2. You have to eat with one hand, and game with the other.

3. You must always be gaming, and in a lan party. If there is a need to change games, you have to take turns loading said game one by one, while everyone continues to game `happily`and CONTINUOUSLY.

TF2 FTW! I don't really like the so called record though. I've been to plenty of 24-hour lans. I find it really hard to believe that 40 is a true record. Nonetheless, at least they got some taste in there games of choice. I.E. Halo isn't present!

No, but you did earn the "Troll" title. And yes. Halo is pretty damn bad. You can thank Half-Life for making sure it was an FPS.

Funny though....Lower critical score, yet a much higher player rating....hmmmmmmm.

And in the case of Halo, the "Universal Acclaim" must be defining the general populace as close-minded morons and 13 year-olds. Although those are almost synonymous.

C'mon. I can take more 360 fanboy banter than that. Use some real ammo against me.

The real question is why you would even comment on this blog post. If your that adamant about your 360 games, then why do you care about PC related issues? Unless you need to fill in the time waiting for your RROD 360 to be replaced. ZING!

@Cykoe: You're very amusing. What did I say that would qualify as 360 fanboy banter? I pointed to an original Xbox game and showed you the only real yardstick we have for measuring how good a game is and you just spit on it.

Listen, I know for some reason that you don't like Halo, but I was trying to point out that the majority of the world disagrees with you. I'm sorry if that makes you paranoid and defensive, but believe me, I'm not a 360 fanboy. I have all three consoles and I actually like my PS3 the most.

And as to why I would comment about "PC related issues"? Well, because you were being a dumbass and I thought you could use some enlightenment about tolerance of other people's opinion.

Once again, I believe I have wasted my time.

Does WoW really count in a LAN party? It's not a massively multiplayer local area network role playing game.

The Gamer's Edition of Guiness is notoriously bad for holding really weak records...

Seth Schiesel reports that Johnson recorded a score of 973,954 in a roughly seven-minute rendition of DragonForce's Through the Fire and Flames at a Best Buy in Midtown Manhattan.

That's weird, because at like 7:30AM I was watching the PIX morning news, and he broke the record live on the show in their studios. Best Buy wouldn't have even been open at that time. The guy from Guinness gave him the certificate and everything.

"Danny came within seconds of playing all 3,722 of the song's notes flawlessly, but his streak ended at 3,558 when the blue button on his guitar broke under his assault."

now that has got to suck, knowing you could have scored higher if your controler had held up.

Not knocking this guy, plays this game better than I ever could, but 80 controllers? Really? What is he doing to them and does every practice end with smashing your axe into the floor?

I'm nowhere near as good, but even sucking at this game I put quite a lot of use into my controllers and I have yet to have any break, let alone 80..

@ProbablyGoingToGetBanned: Hehe. It's a good thing I'm adult enough to not worry an iota about what random people on the internet say.

People that can play these games well inspire and awe me, and kudos to them. I'm not one of them, the world moves on. I actually just like listening to the music and being able to sit there and interact with it. Doesn't matter if it's medium, or hard, or expert (I almost have Today down on expert, go me?), I just like killing some time with some good music and some button mashing.

So if someone wants to call that pathetic, all the power to them. I kind of feel sorry for them.
