RT @GosuGamers: Check out our interview with Sam "Milkfat" Braithwaite about his Guinness World Record achievement.

Interview with milkfat who is the current Guinness world record holder for the most consecutive hours played in a strategy game.

Sam "Milkfat" Braithwaite just broke the world record.

- Greetings Sam, thanks for doing this interview with me. How are you doing today? Have you gotten much sleep since your marathon?

Hi Josh!!!!! I am doing awesome. I am finally starting to recover from my world record attempt and feeling good! Immediately after my attempt I slept for 16 hours but now I am on a normal sleep schedule again.

- Let’s talk about your Guinness world record for a little bit, how did you come up with this idea? What made you want to this?

I applied for the record a long time ago when I was still playing HoN competitively and it was something my friends and I wanted to do together. I stopped playing games for a bit to focus on my career and I got a letter from Guinness letting me know that my application was accepting and I was ready to attempt the record. At the time I was feeling like something was missing from my life(gaming I assumed) so I jumped back into HoN to slay the record.

- Why did you choose to play Heroes of Newrth for the record attempt? Why not Dota2 or League of Legends?

I chose Heroes of Newerth because overall it is the game that I enjoy the most. I am personal friends with a lot of people over at S2 who helped me organize the entire thing and most of my friends play HoN exclusively.
