Saudi Arabian Gamer Achieves World Record for Most Eye Strain and Nostalgia Trips in One Living Room
In a feat that will undoubtedly impress all the people who don’t know anything about actual gameplay, a gamer from Saudi Arabia has secured a Guinness World Record by hooking up a whopping 444 video game consoles to a single TV. The gamer, who for some reason remained anonymous, reportedly spent months preparing for the stunt, which involved buying hundreds of cords and adapters, and clearing out most of their living room to make space for all the consoles.
While this achievement is technically impressive, some critics have raised concerns about the gamer’s mental and physical health after staring at the same TV screen for that long, especially with a bunch of terrible 1980s graphics. But hey, who needs good eyesight when you have 444 different consoles to play? Plus, the gamer can finally relive the good old days when video games required actual physical effort to play.
According to the gamer, playing on so many consoles at once was “an exhilarating experience,” which surely ranks right up there with jumping out of a plane or getting stuck in an elevator with a hungry raccoon. The gamer reportedly played a range of games from various consoles throughout the night, which, if you ask us, sounds like the ultimate recipe for a good night’s sleep. Who needs a natural sleep hack when the dulcet sounds of Frogger can lull you into a peaceful slumber?
While the Guinness World Record doesn’t specify which specific consoles were used for the achievement, it’s safe to say that a good portion of them were probably dusty, outdated, and completely irrelevant to the current gaming landscape. But hey, it’s the nostalgia factor that counts, right? And let’s not forget that all of those consoles and games will look amazing on the shelf for the two people that might actually come over to their house.
The identity of the gamer has remained anonymous, probably because they are ashamed of themselves. Given the staggering amount of time and money invested in this stunt, one might wonder if the gamer could have used their skills for a greater purpose, like curing cancer or solving world peace. But no, they chose to hook up 444 consoles to a TV. Truly inspirational.
In the end, this achievement will probably go down in history as one of the most pointless and absurd feats ever accomplished in the gaming world. But hey, at least the gamer can take comfort in the fact that they have secured a place in the Guinness World Records book, right alongside other groundbreaking feats like “Longest Fingernails” and “Most Marshmallows Crammed In a Muppet’s Mouth.” Congratulations, you true champion of useless achievements.
