Minecraft player's 35-hour gaming marathon By Zoe Kleinman Technology reporter BBC News
12 October 2015
A British man hopes to have broken the record of the world for the longest continuous game of Minecraft.
Joe Kelly, of Cheltenham, played the game for 35 hours 35 minutes and 35 seconds, raising PS1,800 to fund cancer research.
The current record, 24 hours, 10 minutes was set by Martin Fornleitner in Austria in 2011.
Minecraft involves building structures using blocks, exploring worlds , and taking part in battles.
The title has been sold in excess of 54 million copies across the world.
Microsoft bought Mojang, the studio behind it for $2.5bn (PS1.5bn) in the year 2000.
Mr Kelly who owns an entertainment company and is a voice actor has played the game since it was released in the year 2010. He usually plays for only a few hours per week.
He stated to BBC that it was possible to stay awake without caffeine and it wasn't a problem.
"There there were no stimulants other than for sugar and stubbornness."
Mr Kelly who streamed the entire match on YouTube said that the incident had taken its toll on his hands.
"My shoulders didn't ache and my back wasn't sore but the most difficult thing was my fingers.
"They hurt so bad simply from holding the mouse and keyboard for so long.
"Every tiny break I took I was moving my fingers."
Mr Kelly and Sarah Vallance, his girlfriend, are currently working on submitting evidence of their feat to Guinness World Records.
He has no plans to stop playing the game.
He said, "I introduced my girlfriend Minecraft to Minecraft, we often play together."
