[B] A computer games fanatic battled his way to a new world record by playing 'Call of Duty: Black Ops 2' - for more than five-and-a-half days.[/B]
Determined Okan Kaya, 28, played the hit game for a total of 135 hours and 50 minutes.
Okan, of Sydney, Australia, smashed the previous record for continuous gaming which stood at 120 hours and seven minutes.
He began his epic session on Tuesday and was allowed to take a ten minute break every hour andkept his energy up with sports drinks and light meals.
Okan, a sales manager for online retailer 4Cabling, said: 'My hands were cramping up and I went through a lot of bandages. I even tried to 'pad up' my controller.'
Guinness allowed the breaks to be stored up and taken at once so Okan was able to sleep for several hours at a time.
Earlier this year a Taiwanese teenager died during a marathon 40-hour session of Diablo 3.
An incredible eight million copies of Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 were sold on its opening day last week - netting publishers Activision £300 million.
The game now also hold the records for the most money generated in a day for any entertainment release - including the Harry Potter and Star Wars film releases.

The title is a bit misleading though this is still ridiculous.
what a sad bastard

i do that as a warm-up
He could have at least picked a good game to do this. [sp]I'm joking, I haven't played it so I can't judge it, only say the typical "milking the cow" thing[/sp]
[QUOTE=Twipsters;38529776]what is the point[/QUOTE]
You mean besides breaking a world record?
Bragging rights, mostly.
[QUOTE=DeanWinchester;38529802]He could have at least picked a good game to do this.[/QUOTE]
But Black Ops II is a good game.
I'm serious it really is.
You may think I'm joking but I'm not you hippies!!
Isn't that deadly?
pfft, should've been 200 hours of pure continuous hat trading.
360 n0sl33p
if he played through a Valve or an indie game: "THIS GUY IS SUCH A WINNER"
plays through a call of duty game: "FUCKING LOSER"

Look at that smug face.
He's gunna get layed tonight.
[QUOTE=minilandstan;38529823]Isn't that deadly?[/QUOTE]
Nah, he had time to sleep and eat and so on so it's merely "extremely unhealthy".

no, he's gonna play more black ops

I really like how well the girl has managed to bring up her cheek bones with that make up.
I honestly can't play a game for more than one or two hours and feel like I should be doing something else :v:

Like play another game? :v:

Just look at her breasts man.
One is fucking elevated.
Like seriously this game is extremely enjoyable. You may think it is just another copy/paste but Treyarch really nailed it. You get a lot of bang for your buck.
Thats what, 60 playthroughs of the campaign?
That's not even hard to do... Why is this a thing?
I say this, because if he could accumulate breaks then I'm pretty sure me and most of my friends could quite easily do this. If the only thing that makes this impressive is that he didn't die then it's not really impressive at all.
The only achievement I see here is that he didn't just get bored out of his fucking mind and rage quit.
[QUOTE=Suttles;38529933]no, he's gonna play more black ops[/QUOTE]
He's gonna get layed tonight while playing black ops
[QUOTE=usaokay;38529984]He should check the webcam before doing it.[/QUOTE]
He should also turn off the livestream before doing it.

67.5 technically.
I'd imagine the 0.5 was him having a very brief existential crisis midway through and having to take a break and restart the campaign.
[QUOTE=The DooD;38530033]That's not even hard to do... Why is this a thing?[/QUOTE]
people have died due to cardiovascular failure for playing a game continuously for very long stretches of time - some reported cases are less than 5 days
snip- proved wrong
[QUOTE=Speedhax;38530077]Wait, he was allowed to sleep? I don't get it then.[/QUOTE]
