Guinness World Record Broken - I was there to witness it

April 10th to 12th would be a historical date for all Malaysian, especially Malaysian gamers as the Guinness World Record for the longest and largest LAN party ever held was finally broken! The new record, which is with a total of 257 participants in a LAN party held on for 40 hours of non-stop gaming and fun! At the end of the day, some of them were literally zombies and there were a few that felt asleep in the middle of scooping their breakfast into their mouths! I had a great laugh on that one.

However, there were a lot of technical problems but were solved on the fly by ingenuity. I had a lot of headaches on that day. But it was all worth it since we managed to break the record. Btw, I was there not as a participant but my company was one of the main sponsors of the event and I was there to help out. When nightfall came, the other company booths were empty but only ours were lit up and buzzing with activity as people tried out our games. In addition, we helped the LAN party run their mini tournaments and technical problems (with our games).

Above is me fooling around while we set up our booth on the 9th of April. Oh yeah btw, I finally managed to play Street Fighter IV (SFIV)! It was cool. Unfortunately it was on the PS3. I say unfortunately because I hate the joypad. It was hard to do moves properly since I am not used to the joypad layout. However, of all the characters I tried, for some reason Abel was the easiest to pull off combos. On my first try on that character, I managed to do a 4 string combo followed by an ULTRA which ended the match. It was awesome! Can't wait for this game to come out for the PC and I will get myself an arcade stick.
