Microsoft Wants Your Help Setting A World Record
Apparently Microsoft was inspired by our heroic record-breaking Super Smash Bros. marathon, because they've announced they're giving Live members the chance to help set a record of their own. On April 23rd at 10am CST, they're attempting to set the "largest online 100m sprint" record utilizing Kinect Sports.
Microsoft fails to mention in their press release if there is even a previous record holder, but my keen journalistic investigation methods (a.k.a. the ability to perform a search on the Guinness site) haven't uncovered any evidence of one. Everyone that participates will receive a free Avatar t-shirt, but they'll all be winners just because they don't have to share a world record with Tim Turi. I envy them.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
