An Australian sales manager has claimed a new Guinness World Record after clocking 135 hours and 50 minutes of Call of Duty: Black Ops II, and somehow not dying in the process. The previous record was held by Canadian duo Christopher Gloyd and Timothy Bell, who played Resistance on the PlayStation 3 for just over 120 hours.<\/p>\n

Okan Kaya commenced fragging noobs on Tuesday, 13 November, from his office in Sydney, and broke Gloyd and Bell’s record six days later, on 19 November. The 135-hour final time is not consecutive, however – according to the Guinness World Record rules, mandatory ten-minute breaks must be taken for every hour of gaming, although these can be saved up for a longer break.<\/p>\n

I counted it on my fingers, and worked out that, in those six days, Kaya must have slept for only 9 hours. Which probably explains why he looked like this:<\/p>\n

Don’t try this at home, kids.<\/p><\/div>\n

My longest gaming session was 32 straight hours of Fallout 2 back in 2007, and instead of a Guinness World Record, I sustained permanent nerve damage in my right hand as a result. I think the nerve damage is way<\/em> more impressive.<\/p>\n
