Minecraft player's 35-hour gaming marathon By Zoe Kleinman Technology reporter BBC News
12 October 2015
A British man is hoping he can beat the record of Minecraft's longest-running game.
Joe Kelly, of Cheltenham Joe Kelly, from Cheltenham, played for 35 hours, 35 minutes and 35 seconds, bringing in PS1,800 to fund cancer research.
Martin Fornleitner, Austria, set the record for 24 hours and 10 minutes in 2011.
Minecraft is about creating structures using blocks and exploring new worlds and participating in combat.
The title has sold more than 54 million copies worldwide.
Microsoft bought Mojang the studio behind it for $2.5bn (PS1.5bn) last year.
Mr. Kelly, who owns an entertainment company and is a voice actor has been playing the game since it was launched in 2010. He usually plays for only a few hours per week.
"Staying awake wasn't that bad I was able to complete the entire thing without caffeine," he told the BBC.
"There were no stimulants other than sugar and stubbornness."
Mr. Kelly who streamed the entire game via YouTube, added that the stunt was a snare on his hands.
"My shoulders didn't ache, my back didn't ache The most painful thing was my fingers.
"They suffer so much from holding keyboard and mouse and being in clenched position for such a long time.
"Every little break that I took, I was flexing the fingers."
Mr. Kelly and his girlfriend, Sarah Vallance, are now in the process of providing evidence of the feat to the Guinness World Records.
He doesn't plan to rest from the game.
"I introduced my girlfriend to Minecraft and we play together," he said.
"It's something we love doing together. I don't mind playing."
