Man Breaks World Record With Nearly 60-Hour Online Game Marathon

Barnabas is no stranger to marathon gaming sessions; he's been playing World of Warcraft religiously for over a decade.

Barnabas Vujity-Zsolnay, a chef from Hungary, has cooked up a world record, not in the kitchen but in the world of online gaming. He conquered the title for the longest videogame marathon playing an MMORPG, clocking in a staggering 59 hours and 20 minutes in World of Warcraft. That's nearly two and a half days of continuous gameplay, smashing the previous record by an impressive 23 hours and 31 minutes.

But the victory wasn't just about bragging rights. Barnabas' entire record attempt was live-streamed, with all proceeds going to charity. The event, hosted by a website, showcased his dedication not only to gaming but also to giving back.

This feat adds another Guinness World Records to Barnabas' collection, marking him as the champion for both the longest MMORPG marathon and the longest World of Warcraft marathon.
