When gaming dreams and streaming services collide.
Ryan Lenk is a self described "22 year old video gamer from southwestern PA" with "high hopes of leaving his mark in society." To that end, last Friday, Lenk began an attempt to set the record for the longest single video game marathon in history, trying to surpass the record of 135 hours straight set last year by an Australian man.
Shortly before he started his quest, Lenk shared his ambitious, five-plus-day schedule on Facebook.
Then, last night around midnight, Lenk went back on Facebook to announce, 55 hours into his marathon, that Twitch, the streaming video service through which he broadcast his campaign, had shut down his account.
