Guiness Book of Gaming Records Proves That You Can Actually Waste Even More Time Gaming
That is right ladies and gentlemen, you will finally be able to confirm all those rumors and speculations about crazy gaming records, useless facts and zany trivia when the Guinness World Records: Gamer’s Edition gets released on Feb. 8. Amazon has the book listed at $13.57 with the list price at 19.95, but can you really put a price on hundreds of random gamers finally getting their 15 minutes of fame? No, no you can’t.
You can flip through a few pages of the book at the Guinness Web Site and you’ll probably notice it looks pretty shiny, even if it is basically full of a whole metric ton of filler like awards for the largest Tomb Raider enemy and giving Myst the record for the “least violent action game”, a title that is both impossible to judge and strangely attributed to a game most people would say falls into the puzzle category. Still, there are two whole pages of pretty Lara Croft pictures, along with some truly impressive game records, to distract you from the fact that some of these records might not be totally up to snuff.
Along with all this Guinness is offering a chance for you (yes, you!) to be part of the longest Guitar Hero Marathon Relay ever. Hit up the Guinness site above to see details about how to participate in the fake guitar passing action on Feb. 6.
