A gamer named Hubert 'Gordon' Blejch has claimed the title for the longest ever individual video game session by playing a sniper game for 141 hours and 41 minutes.

In a Gaming Arena event in Poznan, Poland, carried out to set the world record- which was carried out at the event, Blejch played World War Two shoot-out Sniper Elite 3 for almost a week, with only a 10-minute break allowed every hour, the Daily Star reported.

The Polish man, who had aimed to go on for a week but gave in to fatigue, broke the previous record held by Okan Kaya from Australia, who had managed to play Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 for 135 hours 15 minutes and 10 seconds in November 2012.

Blejch managed to raise almost 2,000 pounds for a cancer charity with his act.
