joystiq.com — We admire all forms of dedication -- even the absolutely insane forms. A California steel contractor named Mike Leyde recently displayed one such type of persistence by playing a single round of his casual game of choice, Bejeweled 2, for 2,205 hours and 51 minutes over the course of three years.

I'd go with an Unsigned Int.

He achieved the maximum score. You no longer gain points afterwards, because the game only counts up until that number which, is(IIRC) 2^31 -1.

Except it is exactly the quote from the end of the South Park Guitar Hero episode...

SICK skills! now thats what I call commitment! Whats next, the worlds most mega game of tetris?

s**tty and lazy? A little harsh don't you think? Obviously only one known person has ever achieved this score, so I don't think using a signed int was a bad thing here.

Help me out here. Can you pause the game or something? I know you can't save a game..can you? So how do you keep a computer running for 3 years without one single interruption, reboot, crash, power loss, glitch, etc?That seems more amazing to me.

I still like how the story is tagged "casual".

That's because nobody else WANTS to be bored for that amount of time and they realize that it gets old and continuing is just torturing yourself after a while.
