SANTA CLARA, Calif., June 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — LAN Party gaming
will reach a new level during a Guinness World Record-setting attempt at
the NVISION(R) 08 event on August 25 in San Jose, California. The aim of
the event is to make history as the world’s “Longest Non-Stop LAN Party.”
“This will be one of the most exciting gaming record attempts of the
year. I’ve been really impressed with the enthusiasm of the NVISION team
and I look forward to being the official adjudicator for this great event,”
commented Gaz Deaves, records manager, Guinness World Records.
“I have faith and confidence in the NVIDIA gaming community, one of the
most loyal, energetic, and enthusiastic core audiences of NVIDIA since we
were a startup,” said Sheryl Huang, NVIDIA marketing director and veteran
of countless LAN events. “At NVIDIA events in the past, these guys have
been up all night anyway. Their energy is incredible. I’m looking forward
to them setting this record and earning a place in the Guinness Book of
World Records. It’s glory time.”
The goal for the Guinness World Record is for a dedicated team of
gamers to play video games continuously for 36 hours (10 minute breaks are
allowed for every 60 minutes of continuous gaming). If the record is
achieved, the participating team members will receive numerous prizes,
including a commemorative medal, custom gear, gift cards, and of course,
world recognition. The attempt will take place in a special, reserved
section of the NVISION 08 GeForce(R) LAN Party.
A flagship event at NVISION 08, the Guinness World Record attempt is
made possible by the support of EVGA, the Marquee Sponsor of the NVISION 08
LAN Party, as well as Patriot Memory, an official NVISION 08 Sponsor.
