Breaking the world DDR record 40 HOURS !!!!!!!

[doom waffle]

Drew and Keith....Names I will hold in honor for many years to come. This truely was a major accomplishment - It seems that people don't understand how hard it would be to do anything for 40 hours straight. We all should rally together and make Guiness create a new record for DDR. That truely is BS that you recieved no recognition from them. Both of you did this not for fame, pride, or glory, but for charity and friends. You all have my deepest admiration. A hearty handshake to both of you!

If not recognition from Guiness, than some other way. We should MAKE them realize what a feat this is.

this goes back to what toady said about the record being "easy, unchallenging, etc" BS. This is not the same as standing. Standing requires no movement. Standing doesnt have mesmorizing lights flashing in front of you that could make you lose focus. BTW, the record for standing is 72 hours set by some random kid in some middle east country. This record would not be easy. I run track and i am nearly a semi-state champion. I am only a freshman and i run a 10:02 3200 meter (2 miles) race. I could barely do this for 20 hours if i tried, let alone 40; and i can run for a long time. I do 100 mile races on foot in the summer. Running that l;ong takes me about 30 hours. DDR, however, is somehow more difficult. Running has momentum on its side. When you run, you cant fall asleep unless you havnt slept for 5 days. Playing DDR, you can easily fall asleep. Just think abuot all of that stuff for me will you? I mean hey, this guy didnt want a bunch of flamers like you to get on his case. He didnt want the glory, he wanted to see his friend.
P.S. Lets see you do it.

How could u have a 30 second break in between each song? What happens when u get a gameover after u beat so many songs u couldnt get the game started up fast enough. Can you try and beat the record at home on PS2 or an xbox and can u fail a song? if uve got any info or can awnser any of these questions email me at [email protected].

According to the rules that we went by, a game-over meant haulting the record. Your time stopped right there, otherwise my friend would have kept going.

As far as the technicalities of playing with 30 seconds between songs, and playing past arcade hours... talk with the arcade manager. If they arent part of a huge chain with strict rules and regulations, there's a big chance of talking them into it. All you have to do is present the idea to them in a friendly manner, let them know it is for charity, and try to compromise with any business loss (say a certain amount is deducted from the proceeds due to loss of business). Make sure there are responsible adults at all times, and it really shouldnt be a problem. I think they'd be happy to see anyone attempt a record for charity. Heck, gives them publicity too.
