Three members of Ubisoft’s nice-smelling first person shooter squad, the Frag Dolls, landed in the record books when they played Rainbow Six Vegas 2 for 24 hours straight.
Kitt, Sarin and Jam completed the hard-on-the-back task at i-33, a LAN event held in the UK. Attendees could jump in and join the Dolls for a quick game, to offer moral support via shoulder rub or cup of tea, or just to prod them every few minutes to make sure they stayed awake.
When all was said and done, not only had the ladies secured a spot in the Guinness World Records Gamer’s Edition 2009, they’d also raised money for Breakthrough Breast Cancer.
Even if I was any good at Rainbow Six, which I most definitely am not, I couldn’t imagine playing it for more than three or four hours at a shot. I think my longest non-stop gaming session was about 11 hours, with either Morrowind or Oblivion, but much of that was down time used to practice enchanting, sell swag, or just travel from place to place.
