If you haven't been following along, George Leutz is about to beat Rob Gerhardt's Q*Bert world record. Here's the thing though, Ed Heemskerk is playing as well, and is right behind George, and so it's possible the World Record will be beat then beat again in the same session!

Watch live NOW!

Ed (who is currently behind George at 23.x million):




George (who is about to beat the WR, at 31.x million):




Shout out ot Patrick Scott Patterson for keeping us abreast of this:

(watch both streams there, live!)

The original story was on Twin Galaxies and was to be a 3-way "Bert Off" marathon. Dr. Jenny Dyson, the third gamer, had a machine malfunction and was eliminated pretty early on.

Current records standing in the way of both players:

» 32,204,485 Mike Lee
» 33,273,520 Rob Gerhardt

UPDATE:

George Leutz just passed the 32 million mark -- 2nd place is 32,204,485 by Mike Lee. 204K takes 25-30 minutes, so it should be in about a half hour he'll pass the 2nd place record.

I've always wondered if people wore diapers, but I know with games like Asteroids, you can build up a ton of extra lives to sacrifice if you need to leave to go to the bathroom or whatever.

Wow.. very impressive.
And I thought I was good for reaching level 3.

I can't imagine playing it for that long. I would crack.
