I just watched it. Pretty damn good if I do say so myself. I want to go for a record one of these days. I would have to find a game that's actually fun to play into those crazy high digits. Nibbler, Pac-man, Donkey Kong.... all those games suck for marathon plays.

Yeah, the only marathon game I can play is.... nope. I got nothing. My eyeballs would bleed if I played for more than 24 hours. :dizzy:

I completely agree and don't think the term marathon actually belongs here. Someone casual walking 3.5 miles an hour would complete a marathon in around seven and a half hours. I jog just a tiny bit when I walk long distances and went 26 miles in 6.5 hours earlier this year. I'm 40 years old, 5'8" and 210 lbs. Not exactly athlete material. Most people could do it if they just got used to walking. I suspect any ups guy, meter reader, water delivery guy, ect. could all do it with ease if they didn't have to stop to do stuff. Playing an arcade game for 40 hours sounds WAY harder than a marathon. And it was nibbler. It was the same stuff over and over again. It was fast and required concentration the whole time. I really can't imagine doing it. I played Morrowind for just about a week straight one time. I fell asleep every day and I died a bunch for about an hour before I fell asleep. And I was on a comfortable couch with a gamepad. This nibbler billion point thing is truly truly nuts imo.

Howard_Casto:
Yeah man. That guy might be a mountain of fat, but he has a will of iron.

I think the craziest I ever did was sitting up to watch my cousins to finish Ghosts n Goblins, yes second quest and all. We all pooped out around hour 15. I have done crazy crap like play games for waaay too long, but I can hardly count it as they were all modern games.

Also why is it every documentary revolving around Twin Galaxies makes the organization seem more and more corrupt? I feel sorry for the foreign guy.... for 23 years they don't recognize his record.... until it's beat and it's obvious that he won't try to re-claim it. That one guy cheating was pretty messed up as well. Yeah that one chip just happened to have a defective timing pin, and it just happened to only make the cut-scenes run double speed. Tell me another one.

Ian:
Yeah I tried Nibbler last night... It was a fun game but I don't think my 4-way joystick worked all that well. Maybe it's the game but it really didn't move the snake where I wanted it. Incredibly frustrating :angry: Only could muster like 10,000 points.
