I played video games for 60 hours straight and I don't regret it

It's easy to lose track of time while engrossed in your favorite video games, but one man has taken this to the extreme.

Playing his favorite game for a whopping 59 hours and 20 minutes, Barnabás Vujity-Zsolnay has now set two world records.

Recorded by Guinness World Recordsthe Hungarian chef broke two world records with his epic gaming series.

Barnabás' favorite game was World of Warcraft, and he beat the original MMORPG world record by more than 20 hours.

His streak continued almost uninterrupted, except for a five-minute break when he was allowed to eat or go to the bathroom every hour.

He livestreamed the entire marathon and the proceeds from donations made during the event all went to charity.

Barnabás spent his time playing World of Warcraft, completing quests with other players and clearing dungeons.

He said he felt like he ran out of things to do in the game after about 30 hours, but what happened after 45 hours was the most concerning.

Barnabás said: “I noticed mild hallucinations starting to occur. It was funny, but also difficult to concentrate while livestreaming.”

He's been playing WoW all his life and admitted to playing for up to 16 hours straight in sessions as a kid.

About his time playing WoW, he said: “I don't regret it and I don't recommend it.

“I love the game and I will regain the record if it is defeated.

“This is mine for life – I want everyone to know that.”
