Mr. Kelly, who live streamed the entire game via YouTube and added that the incident took its toll on his hands.
"My shoulders didn't hurt and my back wasn't sore but the most difficult thing was my fingers.
"They hurt so much just from holding keyboard and mouse and clenching them for such a long time.
"Every tiny break I took I was moving my fingers."
Mr. Kelly and Sarah Vallance, his girlfriend are currently in the process to send evidence of their feat to Guinness World Records.
