Longest gaming playtime – 55 Hours straight

Imagine staying awake for more than a day, Hard isn’t it? Well imagine playing video games for more than a day straight, not that hard till you bleed your eyes out staring at the monitor. Well here is one amazing record set by David Scherer, a honor student and an assistant coach of the swimming team of  Austin Peay State University. He went on to set the record so he can raise funds to build an indoor swimming pool for the team that he’s coaching, the “Swimming Eagles”.

He managed to play 55 hours straight playing one of the best game that you can play almost endlessly, Grand Theft Auto IV.

The previous 28-hour Guinness World Record for the longest time spent playing Grand Theft Auto IV has been mercilessly shattered by a new, bold champion named David Scherer from Clarksville, Tennessee – who had the stamina to go 55 hours straight in Liberty City, only pausing thrice for quick toilet breaks.
