4. Summary: The previous gaming record of 120 hours has been broken by Oken Kaya. He logged 121 continuous hours of playing Call of Duty: Black Ops 2. He began his journey on Tuesday, November 13th. He is even trying to beat his current record. The previous record was held by two people in Canada.

5. Reaction: I think that playing for 5 days straight is just short of insane! There is no possible way that I myself could go for 121 hours with no breaks. I have heard that playing video games for too long can cause seizures, and other problems dealing with eyesight. So what I am having problems understanding is how he is still as healthy as he was before. Most people I know experience headaches, and blurry vision after about two hours! I can't imagine what they would be like after 5 straight days.

6. World Impact: Now that someone has beaten the previous record of 120 hours, I'm sure that it will spark more gamers to try and beat the new record. Give it a year or so, and you will be hearing of someone breaking this record with 122 hours of continues gameplay. It might even be the same person. He did say he wants to go further into the record. Maybe the previous record holders will try to get their title back. It might turn out to be a full out war between these 3 gamers. Seeing who can log the most continuous hours.
