274 show they've got game to set world record: It took more than 1,500 cans of energy drink but Malaysia is now in the Guinness Book of World Records. This is thanks to 274 people who played video games for 40 hours non-stop at Cyberfusion 2009 yesterday. Organisers Cyberview and Advanced Micro Devices added two more hours to the original 38, and the players agreed to it, despite feeling sleepy. So it was that the previous record of 36 hours by 203 gamers, set in California last year, was broken. Guinness World Records adjudication executive Talal Omar said to achieve the longest local area network (LAN) party, it would take strong determination from the players. He said almost every player brought along a 'good-luck charm', such as figurines and dolls, and pillows to drive them to complete their 'mission'.
