Man plays Minecraft for 35 hours in world record attempt

We sometimes hear about marathon gaming sessions ending in disaster, but here’s one that didn’t.

Joe Kelly of Cheltenham, U.K., played Minecraft for 35 hours in an effort to to break the Guinness World Record for the longest video game marathon of Minecraft, currently held by Martin Fornleitner of Austria, who played for 24 hours and 10 minutes back in 2011. Kelly has sent off proof of his endeavors and is now awaiting confirmation from Guinness as to whether he’s officially broken the record.
