"Back off, man. I'm a scientist."

Your theories are the worst kind of popular tripe, your methods are sloppy, and your conclusions are highly questionable! You are a poor scientist. Especially if you think the moon landing was faked.

I want Guinness. So what do you say, let's try to make a record. As Team VGChartz, collectively make a record of "longest streak of gaming while drinking Guinness". ioi pays the beer and someone gets us Wii Fit. Who's in? Of course, it doesn't need to be Guinness, any boose will do. Literally after 3 days.

That is such a random idea, however it is absolutely awesome!

Query: How would people prove they were gaming and drinking? Also don't most records require a GWR official to verify that the record has been broken?

Hmmm, nobody asked our permission for this

Any more scans?


Owch. You would've thought the Guiness World Records would thoroughly ensure proper permissions etc.


Public Domain, they don't need permission, just like how other news sources can cite VGC information.

Meant Fair Use, not public domain.

Not to mention works published abroad aren't protected under US Copyright, so they don't need permission on that basis.

Well if we would gather to ioi:s home (since he's the one who buys the boose), even if we would be able to gather 1% of VGC member, we would have a hell of a party, about 150 participants. Now there would be an official, who'd make sure with an alcometer, that everyone would have amount equivalent of at least 2/1000 alcohol in our blood. And everyone would need to blow once in an hour (alcometer, not the official). I think we would have fun couple of months that way.
