New Jersey Man Breaks Record For Playing ‘World Of Warcraft’ For Over 78 Hours

A New Jersey man now holds 2 world records after playing World Of Warcraft for more than 78 hours! Was it worth it?

It takes a lot of effort to obtain a world record. Not everyone can do it. Typically, you have to have a very unique set of skills to make it into the Guinness Book Of World Records. However, this guy managed to set 2 records in one sitting. Granted, said sitting was more than 78 hours long.

Doing something for 78 hours is a long time. Even your favorite activity or hobby would become boring and stale after 3-and-a-quater days. However, that didn't stop this guy from pulling it off.

According to UPI, Justin O'Donnell, a Marine Corps veteran, played World Of Warcraft for 78 hours and 30 minutes. However, there is a bit of a catch. He was allowed to take a 5-minute break every hour but he ended up always using that rest time to eat and play with his dogs instead of getting some shut eye, per UPI. I'm sure the dogs were happy about that. You'd definitely have some restless dogs after playing video games for 3 days. Just because you're occupied doesn't mean they no longer have to pee, poop, eat, or get exercise.

I imagine his eyeballs had to have been killing him! Even after a brief hour or 2 video game session, my eyeballs are on fire and I'm feeling it. He did much, much more playing than a mere 2 hours.

Via UPI, O'Donnell tells Guinness World Records, "I got physically tired, not so much mentally. I don't suffer from a lot of the typical issues when I'm awake for so long, like lethargy and hearing things. Some people start to slur their words and might even be mistaken for intoxicated--I typically don't get any of that." Granted, he is a Marine so I'm sure he's gone through much worse things than sitting there playing video games. He's equipped to handle that stress.

During the extended session, he broke not one--but 2 world records. According to UPI, his marathon broke the world record for the longest video game marathon playing World Of Warcraft, which previously stood at 59 hours and 20 minutes. Additionally, he took the record for the longest video game marathon playing an MMORPG. Two birds with one stone! Congratulations, Mr. O'Donnell!

It is not easy to set a World Record. However, some are more difficult than others. Here are 5 unbelievable world records that will likely never be broken.

Personally, I just can't see these ever being topped. They're just too unique. Check out some of the most impressive world records ever set!

Setting a Guinness World Record takes a lot of time, skill, and something extra. Not everyone can set a world record. It takes a very unique individual with an equally unique skillset.

Recently, Dave & Chuck The Freak have talked about strange records like the woman with the longest arm hair in the world, the 127 hour sing-a-thon, and other wild records broken recently.

However, these 5 records stand above the rest. Why? Simple, I can't see these records ever being broken. Even if people dedicate their life to making it happen, these will be hard to beat. The skillset required for these records is just too specific. It can't be done by the masses. In fact, I believe these records can only be accomplished by the current record holders.

That must be a nice feeling. If I were to ever hold a world record, I would want to sleep peacefully at night knowing that my record will never be broken. I'd hate it if I had to worry every day that I'm about to get beat. What if someone wakes up and decides to eat more chicken wings than I did? Or, what if they are faster than me and beat my time? It happens! However, I don't see it happening to this group of people.

Their skillsets and locations all vary. However, they are united in holding unbeatable world records, in my opinion. Let's get to the list and meet this impressive group of people!

The couple that builds together stays together. Hopefully, the foundation of their relationship is just as strong and sturdy as this tower! There's no way this could ever be beat. I don't even understand how they did it in the first place. People are impressive. This record shows that.

Breaking a record for doing one thing is impressive. Breaking a record for multi-tasking is mind blowing. I can't wrap my head around it. Que Jianyu, from China, set the record for fastest time to solve three Rubik's cubes whilst juggling. I can't do either one of those! Let alone both...at the same time? Man, that's wild.

Jump roping is difficult. It's hard to do with one rope. Doing it with 110 skipping robes? Surely, that can't be possible? Yet, it is. It happened! In 2011, Wang Zhuoxin, in China, broke the world record by jumping over 110 individual skipping robes. She wasn't hurt in the process, either! For me, it would be like a cartoon. I'd end up wrapped up in the robes like a spider web.

Talk about a jaw-dropping talent! His girlfriend must be grateful. Kirubel Yilma from Ethiopia set a world record in front of a crowd in Addis Ababa. He guzzled down many bottles of water while going for the Guinness World Record for longest time to spray water from the mouth. It's endless! It hurts me just to watch. He certainly deserves that record.

Meet Jovante Carter. He's a TikTok star known for his surprise gurning. You can see its size when he is able to cover his nostrils with his lower lip for a long time. How is that possible? I don't see this record ever being beaten. Congratulations, Jovante!
