Guinness World Records puts up videogame achievements

Game Politics put up a unique find that might help immortalize some of the most dedicated players of all time. According to their report, the Guinness Book of World Records will be putting up another videogame-related section with records for players who’ve picked up achievements for determination, high scores, and long life.

As you can see from the shot above, there are some new records being put up along with the quintessential high scores list that remains mostly the same from its previous incarnation 20 years back. Cody Miller’s legendary speed run through Halo 2 on the Xbox is now listed, as well as a record for the guy who pulled off a three-hour speed run through the PS2‘s GTA: Vice City.

The records also hold some noteworthy people who’ve managed to get high scores in multiple games, such as Greg Sakundiak’s records for Dragon’s Lair, Tag Team Wrestling, and Twin Cobra, and Doris Self, our dearly departed mistress of all things Q*bert who got her place in Guinness for being the oldest competitive gamer to date.

Hopefully, they’ll include some new categories next year, including “Person with the highest gamerscore ever” and “Most annoying leetspeak phrase used in online games.” We’ll be betting on “STFU Noob,” for that last entry.
