A Nanaimo man who played a video game for 145 hours has unofficially broken a world record.

Kory Breaden began playing Call of Duty: Warzone香蕉视频直播檚 battle royale mode beginning Aug. 15 and kept playing till Aug. 21, which he is confident is good enough for Guinness World Records香蕉视频直播� category for longest video game marathon for that genre of game.

In addition to battling other players in the last-player-standing tournaments, Breaden said he battled fatigue. There was little fanfare when the record was broken because he was so exhausted, he said.

The standard application review process can take between 12-15 weeks, it said, and once received, its records management team will then confirm success or failure.
