That's really awesome - a good example of how gaming can have a real, positive impact. Way to go.

Bullshit. I hate these stupid world record/ charity claims people make these days. She clearly didn't "dance" without stopping at all for almost 6 days. The human body could not take it!

Has anyone ever tried to see what happends to you when you force it not to sleep? As someone who suffered from insomnia for a period of my life. Your body cannot cope & has periods of rapid shutdowns were it will randomly switch off for a few seconds completely numbing it. No matter what you're currently doing. After 72 hours you may aswell just drop a few acid tabs because you'll be seeing & talking to things that arnt there & generally going a bit mental. After that point it gets dangerous & if you've had no rest your heart will go in to overtime & you'll have cardiac arrest. Claiming to be dancing at this point is ridiculous.

Beat me to it. Was going to say they would have needed to hook this person up to a powered exoskeleton for the last couple days and zombie dance them. With constant physical exertion, they actually most likely wouldn't have lasted 2 days.

I don't know what records she broke. However, if it's Guiness Book's records, they have strict guidelines as to how one could do this. That includes mandatory breaks for food, drink, and bathroom. I remember a streamer a couple of years ago trying to go for a 3 day record. He fell asleep on the toilet after about 50 hours. (of course I didn't watch the entire time, just checked in a couple of times) Either way, he talked about how he HAD to follow the guidelines in order to be considered for the record.

What I don't want to see at E3:

Sales reports
Call of Duty
Madden
Fillers
Destiny
VR (Unless they have amazing looking games)
Scorpio/Neo
New Apps on consoles
TV crap
Digital Comics
Fake acting in multiplayer games ex. Division
CGI teasers (Seriously seeing a teaser is basically saying, NOT coming out this year) Does anyone remember Agent? I can handle CGI trailers that shows how the game would be, but if you're just going to show me the title of your game without any information then take that teaser and shove it.
Live cringy performances

Rimeskeem2876d ago

I can almost guarantee you that Call of Duty, Madden, Destiny, VR, and CGI teasers will be there.

Geekman2876d ago

Nintendo.

(I love you Nintendo but that was too easy.)

Relientk772876d ago

Crash Bandicoot in Skylanders
Knack 2

When does she eat, or use the bathroom over a almost 6 day period and the toll of no sleep for that long on her body.

nX3207d ago

While dancing... I guess.

Maybe it is just me but MGSV is not on the store. I have looked in every category and even searched with no luck.

LAWSON723546d ago (Edited 3546d ago )

Nope, says oops

@below

Not in GmG for me only Angry birds and TF

neil3633546d ago

Yep, it's definitely there. Both on the games store online and on my console in the Games With Gold bit.

JeffGUNZ3546d ago

Same there here Lawson, can't find it and that link doesn't work. As long as it's there payday I'll be happy!

danowat3546d ago

Metal gear on the xbox one worth £12?

danowat3546d ago

Because of all the negative feedback on it being "just a demo", just wondered if £12 was good value for what it is.

JohnJ3546d ago

Not worth it in my opinion. Maybe a fiver, I bought it new and was disappointed with the fact it is very much a demo

LAWSON723546d ago (Edited 3546d ago )

Well I bought it used at GS with plans to return it after I seen what cause of all the complaints were about

Anyways I personally would not play it until MGSV is about to come out. It pretty much feels like a glorified demo that makes you want more next gen MGS

Dirtnapstor3546d ago (Edited 3546d ago )

Yes it is a very good initial installment for TPP. There are a multitude of things to do. Invest.

mcstorm3546d ago

Well MGS V being £12 has now got me sold just bought it keep the deals like this coming MS loving gold on Xbox one so far.
