Editor’s Note: I had no idea people were going after world records in annual sports games, like last year’s Madden (uh…why?). Thanks to Eric Cummings for enlightening me. -Shoe


There have been quite a few world-record gaming attempts being streamed lately, and it’s starting to catch on. Twin Galaxies just posted a story on this new trend. Within the article, readers can find links to gamers’ channels to get info on when to watch these attempts live at a scheduled date and time.

Many of the people that watch these attempts and join in the chat are actually world-record holders themselves and are there to support their fellow record holders. These aren’t just the golden oldies of gaming either. This Friday, Patrick Scott Patterson will be attempting to take back his Madden 09 world record live via Ustream.tv at his channel PSP-TV. Why not join him and see a world-record gamer light up the computer?
