He already has experience in marathoning - having taken the Star Castle marathon WR at 36 hours and the Asteroids marathon record at 58 (!!) hours.

He's got to beat 107 million - which took the last record holder 67.5 hours to complete. According to the guys over at KLOV, he's on track to beat the record in a slightly faster time - go John!

That's pretty incredible. If I weren't at work I'd definitely be tuning in.

I have a Joust machine, but suck at it. Getting some great tips watching this stream!

And this is just incredible!

36.4M at the 17-hour mark.
» About 175 men in storage.
» John took a near 15-min break in the last hour, so lost about 40 men and had to build back up.

Also sounds like he has to keep track of his extra men in his head when he dies and when he hears the 1up. I guess someone must count the losses when he goes on break.

He is at 39M now, long way to go...
