Guinness World Record

A week or two ago I was contacted by Gaz, the records manager for The Guinness book of world records. Apparently I will be included in the 2010 gamers edition for having the highest gamerscore in the world. From the look of things, the 2010 book will be released sometime early next year. I'm not quite sure how big the feature will be, but it's pretty cool that Gaz contacted me about the whole thing. At first I thought it was some hoax so of course I did my research.

So needless to say I was very excited about receiving a record for something that I enjoy doing. I don't know how long I can hold the record, Never less, I am going to One Million. Maybe 1 million will be the Guinness world record in 2016.

Hopefully this will spawn other Guinness World Records as far as achievements and gamerscore goes. Most points in one day and so on.

I was going to wait until this thing released before I mentioned it, but that is so far off. I told a few about it when I was first contacted.

More on this record thing as it develops.

*UPDATE*  HERE is the link to the 2011 certificate I received.
