Michael Pluterflam is your normal 17-year old kid, he’s just finished his HSC exams, and now he’s attempting to smash the world record for time spent playing FIFA non-stop! The current record is 24 hours and next Wednesday, starting at 12pm midday, Michael intends to beat that record in an effort to raise money for the Sony Foundation Children’s Holiday Camps, which supports disabled children, and Football United, a football charity that works with underprivileged kids.
Gamers can actually head over to Westfield at Bondi Junction on level 6 and challenge Michael in exchange for a cash donation to charity. He intends to play FIFA 11 for a ridiculous 29 hours straight, so we think he deserves some of your money! We’ll be heading over for a quick game at some point, and wish him all the best with his record attempt. This is an awesome idea and we hope it bring much needed dollars and attention to both of these worthy causes.
What’s the longest amount of time you’ve ever spent playing a game? I remember playing Mass Effect 2 for roughly nine hours straight – but I can’t imagine going any longer than that, let alone 29 hours. Then again, I’ve never had a crippling WoW addiction…
