Guinness Book of World Records: Gamer’s Edition

Coming to a store near you February 8th.

We all have a sort of fascination with the Guinness Book, whether we remember flipping through it in curiosity back in the day, or watching the spinoff television series that aimed to amaze, delight, and disgust. Who better fits those categories than gamers, who simultaneously exemplify the nerdiness, determination, obsessiveness and proper ratio of stupidity:intelligence to aim high.

The book launch will be accompanied by a “Guinness World Record Guitar Hero Marathon Relay” that will consist of guitar heroes the world over taking part in a cooperative riff ripping marathon. Click this link if you’re interested in taking part.

Hey, at least now we’ll have an official record of who can beat the original Mario Bros. game the fastest, or which clan in CS makes the most cash. Vital, vital life information!
