JANUARY 28TH 2002 GUINESS ATTEMPT RESULTS, PICS, VIDEOS, EVERYTHING
01/30/2002 Entry: "Alex Jebailey breaks Dance Dance Revolution World Record"
Alex Jebailey and Quinton White smash the official world record for the longest
sustained game of DDR, breaking the previous record by over 4 hours.
It seems everyone who can login to a DDR message board these days is claiming
they're about to break the DDR World Record, but for the first time in 2 years,
someone has actualy followed through with the claim, and has officialy set a new
Guiness World Record for the 'longest sustained game of Dance Dance Revolution',
playing for an incredible 13 hours without rest, an the XS Orlando arcade.
This is the 1st time the record has been broken, since 1999, when it was set in
London, England, by Mark ET, as a Konami PR stunt.
Alex's record attempt was witnessed by several guiness officials, and once verified, will
appear in the Guiness Book Or Records.
Anyone wishing to congratulate Alex might want to head over to the Teamgwailo
Message Forums, where Alex has been promoting his record attempt for several
weeks. The entire staff of TGL (both of us) would like to congratulate him ^_^
