Did your gamey senses start tingling at about 4:30 this morning? That’s because 19-year-old Austin Peay State University honors student David Scherer broke a world record for continuously playing a video game longer than his predecessor at 4:22AM. The record was previously held by 26-year old India resident, Chirantan Patnaik who played for a continuous 40 hours and 20 minutes.
NewsChannel 5 reports that Scherer has been continuously playing Grand Theft Auto since Sunday afternoon, and has no intentions of stopping any time soon. This gaming marathon goes beyond winning a title. Scherer is trying to raise money to build his swim team an indoor pool facility.
