TwistDock: Proud sponsor of the non-stop gaming challenge
​On Friday the 16th, six gamers will attempt to break the Guinness World Record for non-stop continuous gaming. 

The current record stands at 40 hours.

The six gamers will attempt to play Red Dead Redemption straight through an entire weekend, both day and night, to complete the challenge. The winner will walk away with a new Guinness World Record and a prize of 1,000 Euros and a TwistDock docking station for PS3.

What's a TwistDock docking station, you ask? It's a stand for the PS3 that keeps controllers charged, hides cables, and adds additional USB ports. As you may have guessed, TwistDock is the official sponsor of this event. Each player will be keeping his PS3 controller charged over the duration of the event with the TwistDock.

Normally, we don't cover events designed to promote a particular piece of hardware such as these. But we do support the inclusion of gaming records into the Guinness Book, and hope that one or more of the players in the challenge can take home a new record. We could care less if they take home a new docking station or not. Plus, we're kind of jealous that they get to spend an entire weekend playing Red Dead.

Trailer for the event below, yo.
