A Hungarian chef named Barnabás Vujity-Zsolnay has recently made headlines after breaking not one, but two world records in a marathon gaming session. Playing his favorite game, World of Warcraft, for a staggering 59 hours and 20 minutes, Barnabás surpassed the previous record by over 20 hours. Guinness World Records documented and verified his achievement.
A Gaming Streak for the Books
During his epic gaming streak, Barnabás only took a five-minute break each hour to eat or use the bathroom. Other than that, he remained dedicated to the game, completing quests and conquering dungeons alongside other players. He even live-streamed the entire marathon, using the event to raise funds for charity.
Mild Hallucinations and a Lifetime Achievement
As the hours ticked by, Barnabás experienced mild hallucinations around the 45-hour mark. Despite this, he pressed on, determined to secure the world records. Reflecting on his gaming journey, Barnabás admitted that he had been playing World of Warcraft for most of his life, even as a child. While he doesn't recommend such lengthy gaming sessions, he expressed his love for the game and his intention to defend his records if they are ever broken.
