Someone just completed 200 laps on the Nurburgring in 24 hours in Gran Turismo 7

From Xfire: "According to the user behind the mind-blowing achievement, they simply had "too much free time.""

EvertonFC722d ago

Achievement ? It's actually really dangerous too do that for you're health.
It states he did it by drinking lots of energy drinks so tomorrow's news will be he died of a heart attack.
Crazy thing is he ONLY got 52,000 credits and a 5000 from daily reward pmsl.

Army_of_Darkness722d ago

@evertonfc

Silenteski is being a smartass and correcting your grammar bro. Lol!
"for you're health" is actually "for you are health"
Correct way to say it is "for your health"
... Yup, I'm bored on my lunch break😜🤣

IGiveHugs2NakedWomen721d ago (Edited 721d ago )

I think Everton was trying to say that consuming more than 400 mg of caffeine in one day can cause poisoning and an overdose, and yes death.

Most energy drinks have 200 - 400 mg of caffeine per can.

BrainSyphoned722d ago

I guess I live life dangerously. Who knew I was an extreme e-sport athlete in training. Guess I better write up my will before my next day off work (where i've been working 18 hours days and even driving home afterwords!)

CobraKai722d ago

You’re overreacting. A lot of people have been up 24-hours. Not particularly dangerous. I used to work graveyard and that was a common thing for me. This guy also ate and took restroom breaks, which is important to emphasize, cuz those kids that die binge playing games, did not do that.

ClayRules2012722d ago

Yeah, thats true and its important to emphasize, those kids that die binge playing games are known (in mostly all cases I’ve heard) never did take restroom breaks or eat, and just stared off into the screen and unfortunately they met their end.

I did see on 1000 ways to die a gamer named Garth died while playing in an online tournament for I think it was 60 hours and in the end (while he did eat, he ate junk food and I think energy drinks, and pee’d in a bottle, and had his chair designed as his own personal toilet🤢🤢ԍ 14;) but after all those 60 hours and challenging the finale gamer, Tina, Garth met his match. Tina beat him. All that time not moving and eating filth, he developed blood clots in his veins and legs which shot up to his lungs when he stood up in an outburst of anger and than...he fell over dead. Honestly, a real shame.

CobraKai722d ago

@Clay
Yeah. That’s another thing too. He got up to use the restroom that would at least have his blood circulate.

ClayRules2012721d ago

Yeah, for sure. It’s a shame he met the end he did, and all for trying to accomplish something that doesn’t do anything for your life (nothing beneficial) but also just a young life and really naive. Hopefully other young gamers and even adults learned from his unfortunate bad choices.

neutralgamer1992721d ago

Me and my best friend played the original grid on PS3 for like 12 straight hours. We didn't plan to play that long but just kept going but than got yelled at by brother 😂

ClayRules2012721d ago

😂after you got yelled at did you stop playing?

neutralgamer1992721d ago

ClayRules2012

Me and my best friend were playing. We started bought the game and started playing in the evening. He was good at drifting and I was racing normal races. Before we knew it sun was coming out so when my brother(RIP) came home from work he was like disappointed more than mad we had to stop because we were tired but didn't realize it so we made some burgers and fries and went to sleep

outsider1624721d ago

Only 52000 credits? Jesus!! With that kind of achievement it should be atleast 2million creds.

A perfect example of unhealthy gaming habits.

Bathyj722d ago

So no one's impressed with that?
I saw all 3 Lord of the Rings at a movie marathon and I thought that was hard.

Ninver722d ago

Those marathons were a killer. Came out of the movies feeling like a vampire.

Bathyj722d ago

I did 4 or 5 Nightmare on Elm streets back in the day too.

Ninver720d ago

@ bathyj

That's some heavy dedication right there. Entertaining movies nonetheless

Silly gameAr722d ago

It seems pretty par for the course for those hardcore gamers that love to throw caution to the wind, but a Lord of the Rings marathon is impressive. It's hard for me to finish one of those movies in one setting.

ClayRules2012722d ago

Oh geez, that’s a tough one. Props to you for that! Haha.

CantThinkOfAUsername721d ago

8 Harry Potter movies in a single day?

Bathyj721d ago (Edited 721d ago )

Cinema. It was at the cinema.
But I did watch the extended at home in a day and a half. And then the extended hobbits in about a week.

Good-Smurf721d ago

I can't even keep my eyes open through half of The Two Towers.
My dad was the one watching though and I was tired from school.
I tried did some 4 hour and 500 km endurance race on older Gran Turismo but never tried 24 hour one that was too much for me.

31 hours according to the article not 24. But why did it take 31? Easily under 4 minutes a lap with the fastest car.

porkChop722d ago

They were using an Aston Martin V8 Vantage Gr.4, which I assume was the fastest car they had.

andy85722d ago

I know but given you can buy the fastest car in the game by racing for 20 minutes, I find it odd why they would do 200 laps in a car that takes that long.

SullysCigar722d ago

Many people here concerned for this guys health. Look after your own and let him worry about his! ...Unless you're his mother, in which case you may proceed with your concern lol

Seriously though, I doubt he does this all the time, so cut the guy some slack. It's his life, if he's enjoying it, great!

roadkillers722d ago

I bet he does it a decent amount. Nobody plays casually then decides a 31hr binge session (31hrs not 24hrs).

BrainSyphoned722d ago (Edited 722d ago )

When Starfield comes out I will go from casual to binge /shrug
Same with any huge rpg release.

ClayRules2012722d ago

Sully, I will NOT proceed with my concern, well, because I’m you know, not his mother lol.

Yeah, cut him some slack. I played a video game once, with a girl (in my parents basement when I was 16 and no joke we played one game from 10 in the morning until 5AM the next day. What an unforgettable experience, in the sense that we both were so engaged in the game, she’d never really played them and we became great friends. Still one of my best friends to this day. And, she gets along great with my fiancé!

We never did attempt anything like that again since, but we truthfully didn’t attempt what we did, we just got lost in the game lol.

SullysCigar721d ago

Oh come on Clay, drop the act. Your mother's not reading N4G. We're all friends here.

There's no way you were playing video games that WHOLE time with that girl lol ;^p

ClayRules2012721d ago

Damn it, Sully (I totally just said that in a Nathan Drake voice “in my head” lol) and yes, we’re all friends on here. I can only imagine my mom reading N4G😅😂 early 30’s and having my mom come on here yelling at me haha.

And Sully, we really did play video games that WHOLE time...lol. OK, I won’t lie, there was chemistry there😅😂but truth be told after that night of GAMING we got closer, as ONLY friends. She told me months later during a conversation we had while hanging out with a few friends of ours that she thought as nice as I was and the chemistry we had I just had to be gay😂 I couldn’t help but laugh (as did our friends) and that was a funny and interesting conversation to have had. And come on, Sully, your not squeaky clean now, I mean, does your mom know you brought a hooker to church?🤔lol

The best PS5 exclusives 2024

With so many PS5 exclusives to choose from, it can be a little overwhelming to pick which one to play. This is especially true for a new PlayStation gamer who has yet to experience the wonder of PlayStation-exclusive storytelling. So, here's KnowTechie's take on the best PS5 exclusives in 2024 and beyond

PlayStation is killing it with the exclusives this year. Exclusive wise, what has xbox released this year?

VersusDMC12d ago

They won't complain about Microsoft not releasing games here but put all their effort into saying that only first party counts. Games like Rebirth and Grandblue Relink don't count. Games published by Sony like Helldivers 2, Stellar Blade and Rise of the Ronin don't count because Sony don't own the studios.

It's some narrative building so for when Hellblade 2 come out they can say, seemingly without shame, that Microsoft is actually releasing first party games this year. And claim victory.🙃

Chevalier12d ago

Weird 1st party games didn't matter when Xbox had so little, but, now they're important again? Guess Ark 3, Stalker 2 don't count any more?

KyRo12d ago (Edited 12d ago )

ARK 3 doesn't exist and it's just a timed exclusive. It's also a game that a majority of the ARK player base doesn't want as it's a massive deviation from what people like about the original game

Abnor_Mal12d ago (Edited 12d ago )

Honestly to me it doesn’t matter what they say, they are just finally getting a chance to say all the things PS fan(boy)s were saying to them for the past few years. Let them get that, they deserve a “win” for a change.

The new narrative is that suddenly first party games matter again when awhile ago they didn’t, but that was because they were struggling with the same three games with the occasional fourth or fifth. That games should be everywhere on all platforms since that’s whats happening to theirs. The consoles don’t matter just the ability to play anywhere. Whatever Xbox is doing Sony will soon follow.

They’re not moving the goalpost anymore, but rather just moving the whole damn stadium.

jwillj2k412d ago

Only a incel would care about who published what and who owns who.

If it’s not on the other consoles it’s an exclusive.

Killing what? Where are the 1st party games??
Stellar Blade and FF7 is what I’m seeing this year.. so shallow!!!!

andy8512d ago

Doesn't really matter as long as they're great games. Baffles me why people put an emphasis on 1st party. They're still games you can't play anywhere else this year

Cacabunga11d ago

Andy

PS brand is my favorite because of their stellar first party software.. currently I see absolutely nothing to go crazy for..

CS711d ago

Nonsense.

PS1 and PS2 was built on great third party exclusives like FF, MGS, GTA & Tekken.

raWfodog12d ago

Of course I love the games I’ve played from PS but I don’t believe we need to limit it to ‘exclusive’ to acknowledge that Xbox will be releasing some good games this year also. In that same vein, I believe that Xbox diehards shouldn’t limit their acknowledgment of good PS games to 1st party. There are plenty of good games to go around for everybody.

Tacoboto11d ago

This is a Playstation article about Playstation games and your comment is about Xbox. Can't you just celebrate what PS has without dragging this into console war BS?

ChasterMies11d ago

I don’t think Microsoft is releasing games exclusively on Xbox anymore. They have some timed exclusives that release on Xbox first.

Abear2111d ago (Edited 11d ago )

Returnal, Astro Bot, and Ratchet made having it since day one worth it.

GT7 free updates and Spiderman 2 and others at 60fps have made this last year more than okay.

But yeah, it’s been dry lately. BG3 and third party have made great filler, but we ready for that SOCOM or Killzone announcement and some more 1st party goodness. Crossing fingers for Ghost of Tsushima 2 announcement this summer.

Didn’t know Helldivers was exclusive! Wtf is going on at Xbox that they can’t get these games, series s strikes again.

SonyStyled11d ago (Edited 11d ago )

Sony owns the Helldivers IP. The first was a PS3/Vita/PC game. It was never an Xbox game that they could ‘get’ a decade ago. I’m not sure what the upset is with Xbox here

CS711d ago

Lol, how do you ignore Rebirth one of the best games ever made?

anast11d ago

Looks like they are on par with the previous gens. Solid games all around. Interestingly enough, we can't say they released a bad game yet this gen. Unlike the Quiet Man dustup.

I actually do not mind if Marathon releases on multiple platforms . I just wish that Marathon has a dedicated single player campaign.

DaniMacYo11d ago

Helldivers 2 is exactly what gaming needed. I’m loving it.
