Whoah. That video reminds me of the bit in the Matrix: Revolutions where they're in a ship, being chased by all the machines down the tunnels.
Can't believe he's trying to get to a billion points though, imagine the wound of a power cut on his 89th hour?!

DougEdey · 8th Dec 2006, 09:34

Life. Get. A.

10 points if he can work out the real sentence

plagio · 8th Dec 2006, 09:36

holy cow, that is insane !
30 hours playing the game .... wow

ỒĊBłůē · 8th Dec 2006, 09:40

That's sad.

Is that 90hrs gonna have to be a continuous session or can the idiot pause it at all?

IIRC, I'm pretty sure you'd die if you tried staying awake for 90hrs straight.

Cthippo · 8th Dec 2006, 09:43

My only thought is that this probably a more realistic goal than getting laid

Krikkit · 8th Dec 2006, 09:45

Hahaha. That's a bit harsh Cthippo.

Echo · 8th Dec 2006, 09:46

Don't be so quick to slag him off.. He did it as a stunt - Sun-Wed.. Thats just like a long weekend lan party, The likes of which most of us have played. I don't know a bout a guiness world record, but he deserves some credit..

CountStiltzkin · 8th Dec 2006, 10:19

10 points if you can spell 'sentence' correctly.
ooo, such a bitch.

rupbert · 8th Dec 2006, 12:14

He can pause it.

Bursar · 8th Dec 2006, 14:02

I plan on breaking the 2 billion point barrier. Does that get me a news post?

Duste · 8th Dec 2006, 14:19

Why doesn't he just go for 500mil at the moment? Lol.

M4RTIN · 8th Dec 2006, 15:32

Harsh, but I did guffaw to myself

Have to say that video looks cool, the swarm of little ships is like a flock or birds with the whole pulsing thing going on.

Redbeaver · 8th Dec 2006, 16:29

thats INSANE................

luv the game, but really never got that addicted...

Atomic · 8th Dec 2006, 18:23

Complete Nutter!

Stuey · 8th Dec 2006, 18:31

Watching that video was cruel and unusual punishment. Any longer and I'd have to pull my eyes out or risk going insane. I can think of a LOT better things to do for 90 hours...

FIBRE+ · 8th Dec 2006, 18:38

I feel sorry for the guy from the Guiness Book of Records who is going to have to supervise it to confirm the record

kye · 8th Dec 2006, 21:45

I can barely get over a million. Been trying hard since i read this but i cant get any better. really, really frustrating.

TheColdLord · 10th Dec 2006, 21:43

Jeeesus f@4^ing Christ!!! Damn....to spend 90 doing that?! This guy must be out of his damn mind...there is absolutely no way he can manage to pull that one off......but the game looks pretty nice TBH...but making 1billion points in that game.....damn it..... there is no way!
