Some Dude's Trying to Play Q_Bert for a Ridiculously Long Time. Again.

OK, well, not just “some dude.” The record-seeker is Ed Heemskerk, who set the marathon record for Q*Bert at 68.5 hours back in March, and now is bidding for a 100-hour stretch on a single quarter. He started yesterday morning at 8 a.m. EDT, meaning that, by now, he’s a little more yono business sbi than a quarter of the way toward his goal.(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); https://kotaku.com/holy-man-spends-68-5-hours-playing-single-game-o-5889920 Heemskerk’s last bid set a time record but failed to eclipse the overall high score mark which, yono business at 28 years old, has moved out of the house, gotten a good paying job and is getting serious about a Ladybug high score it met at a wedding. Rob Gerhardt’s mark of 33,273,520 has, since last year, survived five attempts to beat it. One hundred hours is not fooling around. The most I have ever done without sleep was probably 41 covering a Marine Corps training exercise. The only time I went 100 hours straight without doing something was when I won a fraternity bet going that long without taking a dump. That was before I became a coffee drinker, obviously. If Heemskerk hits 100 hours, that’ll rummy meet be at noon EDT on Tuesday. If he beats his old mark, that’ll happen sometime around 5:30 a.m. EDT on Monday.
