Do you consider yourself as a hardcore PC gamer? Yes? Well, NVIDIA is looking for you to take part in the longest non-stop LAN party ever.
Join hundreds of gamers in Guiness World Record attempt for the longest LAN party.

The attempt is based on marathon rules where participants are required to play any video game of their choice with other participants for no less than 36 hours non-stop.

Anyone can join, but before you apply here's what you should know:

Rules:

* The attempt will start at 11:00 P.M. on Monday, August 25th and end at 11:00 A.M. on Wednesday, August 27th
* You must bring your own computer system, sit in the Guinness World Records section in the GeForce LAN BYOC, and connect to the LAN
* You can play any video game of your choice with other participants
* Switching to a different game during the attempt is permitted
* You are allowed 10 minutes of break time for every 60 minutes you spend playing (for example, you play non-stop for 6 hours you receive a 60-minute break)
* You must play in 60 minute increments to accumulate your 10-minute break. Partial increments will not accumulate break time (for example, if you play to the 1 hour and 20 minute mark and decide to take a break, you will only have accumulated 10 minutes of break time; if you take the 10 minutes of break time, then come back, you must then play a minimum of another 60 minutes before you can take another break; the extra 20 minutes you played in your first interval will count toward your total time played, but will not count toward any break time credit)
* Actual playing time and break time counts toward your 36 hours needed for the Guinness World Record
* You may accumulate break time into larger blocks and take your breaks at any time you like (for example, you can play 5 hours non-stop, then take a 50 minute break; if you plan carefully you may be able to take long breaks which will allow you to participate in other activities at NVISION)
* You may consume food and drink while the record is in progress
* You may not participate in any official tournaments as these will interfere with the attempt
* Participants must be in good health and be over the age of 14 by August 25, 2008
* If you are under the age of 18 you must have the Parental Release Form signed by a parent or legal guardian. No one under the age of 14 is allowed to participate in the attempt.
* Everyone will be asked to sign the Guinness World Record Attempt Waiver before participating in the attempt.
