135 timers Black Ops 2

Treyarch og Activisions monstershooter, Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, bringer konkurrencesjælen frem i os alle med dens multiplayer, og denne mekanik kan være med til at forklare spillets enorme succes. Spillet vakte imidlertid en del vrede, da Gametrailers gav spillet en højere score (9.4) end Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, som "blot" fik 9.3. Hvad man enten mener om den debat, som prægede eller muligvis stadig præger Gametrailers' mange kommentarer, så kan man ikke diskutere, at Call of Duty er en populær spilserie.

Og man skal ikke lede længe efter dens popularitet end at tage et smut forbi Australien, hvor en gamer ved navn Okan Kaya har smidt ikke mindre end 135 timer i Black Ops 2. Du tænker sikkert, at det kan du også sagtens gøre, men du skal tænke på, at dette er 135 timers kontinuerlig gaming. Dét er en bedrift! Selvfølgelig har der været pauser og andet involveret.

Guinness Rekordbog siger, at man må holde 10 minutters pause for hver time, man spiller. Disse 10 minutter kan man spare op og bruge samlet på enten søvn, spise eller andet. Men dette til trods så er 135 timer stadig en monumental indsats, og nogle vil måske sige, at det er ekstremt at bruge så meget tid og så mange ressourcer på gaming, men jeg tager hatten af for det. Godt klaret, Okan Kaya!


English version:

Treyarch and Activision's giant, Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, brings the competitive mindset in all of us through its multiplayer, and this very thing can greatly contribute in understanding the immense success of the series in general. The game, however, did receive some amount of controversy when the gaming site, Gametrailers, decided to give the game a score of 9.4 when Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim "merely" got a score of 9.3. Whatever one's feelings are regarding this debate which influenced the many comments on Gametrailers, one cannot argue against that Call of Duty is very popular.

And one doesn't have to look for proof of that any further than to our friendly neighbourhood island: Australia. Here, a gamer by the name of Okan Kaya has managed to play Black Ops 2 for no less than 135 hours. Now you're propably thinking that you could do the same but the thing is that this was 135 hours continous gaming. That is remarkable! Now, of course, he did have several breaks and what-not.

Guinness rules state that anyone attempting to do a world record can have a 10 minute break for every hour of gaming. These several 10 minutes can then be accumulated and be spent at once to get some sleep, food etc. Despite this 135 hours of gaming is a monumental performance and I for one congratulates this iron willed gamer. Nice job, Okan Kaya!
