Guinness World Records has released its annual Gamer’s Edition. The book, which contains the latest game-related feats of endurance/skill/stupidity, is available now in Europe and North America.
In an official press release, GWR detailed some of the feats contained within the new book. Including!
Most fish in a videogame
More than 8 billion fish were caught by RuneScape players in 2012. Game creator Jagex claims that, laid head to tail, these 8 billion fish would encircle the circumference of the world 20 times.
First in-game pizza delivery system
The earliest video game pizza delivery system appeared in EverQuest ll. In February 2005, game developers added a pizza delivery system for its players. By typing /pizza, players would be linked directly to the Pizza Hut ordering site. This was the first time that an MMORPG could accept orders for real world items.
It’s a brave new world.
There are also individual achievers, including Sean Grayson, who completed Batman: Arkham City in a record-breaking 2 hours 3 minutes and 19 seconds. “Some of the fights did not go well,” Grayson said, “but I think that’s expected. I’m not actually Batman.” Grayson’s shock denial blows the ongoing investigation into the identity of Gotham’s masked vigilante wide open.
