Breaking Records (not)

[Radoh]

So I was reading some articles online and saw that a group of Gamers from the Netherlands are attempting to play over fourty consecutive hours of a single racing game in an attempt to break the world record. Their choice in game however is a bit confusing, as they chose Red Dead Redemption. Seriously, they're trying to break the longest sitting of racing games with a sandbox.

Point.. being?

It's far easier to play 40 straight hours of Red Dead than most racing games in my opinion.

Agreed, but they can't break a racing record with a game that isn't racing. I just thought to relay that point and maybe get some discussion going on it.

weird but oh well.

I'm surprised the current record is only 25 hours. I expected it to be far higher, since games like Burnout Paradise could last far longer than that, no problem.

Red Dead Redemption is a racer?

Does this have to be one person playing? Can you play in shifts? I think my brother, girlfriend and I could play at least 48 hrs straight.

Does it have to be one race? Can it be like... career mode on Need for Speed?

Red Dead Redemption is a racer?

My sentiments exactly.

Just gimme Modnation Racers and some good coffee and I'm willing to compete

Surely Desert Bus counts as a racing game?

That shit's been played for well in excess of 40 hours.

You're racing. Racing against the ever-present overtone of the razor-blade in the corner to end it all.
