Milkfat puts Hon in the books

If Milkfat wasn’t a legend before then he truly is one now. He battled through exhaustion, nosebleeds, wrist pain, vomiting, and relentless chat trolls for a solid 76 hours and 30 mins, knocking out 88 tmm games to beat the world record for continuous strategy game playing by over a day. You can’t really appreciate the magnitude of this till you go through your normal day, go to sleep, wake up, repeat 3x, and keep checking back the stream to see he is still going and hasn’t stopped. There was something comforting about knowing you could always check in on this nerd and he’d be there.

Milkfat always has had an uncanny ability to bring people together, and this event was no different. I got to meet breaky and Phil & some of milkfats friends. This event in general was a great chance for Hon players to meet up. I wanted to come earlier (than 3AM sunday) and meet more people, but after the Odyssey LAN (which ran late) I was stuck on the 91 fwy since some drunk guy flipped his car and was p much dying on the pavement and they wouldn’t let anyone thru, so had to put the car in Park and take a big nap on the highway for an hour or so.

This Mission Viejo Howie’s Game Shack is really nice. Huge place like 100+ computers, really easy to get to (you get off the 5 freeway and ur there), easy parking, inside a ril fancy shopping center, etc.; hope to see some more Hon events here.
