You may not have heard of Ray Cox IV, but he is a rock star in the gaming world. Already holding the Guinness Book of World Records for Highest Gamerscore, he keeps compiling onto his achievements and last night achieved a dream of his: reach an Xbox Live Gamerscore of 1 million.
To put 1 million Gamerscore points into perspective, most Xbox games max out at around 1,000 achievement points. That means he’s accomplished almost every goal achievable in 1,000 video games. That amount of point accumulation does tick away from your free time, but he managed it over almost a decade!
After 8 years, 3 months, 19 days I think today is the day.

He indeed accomplished this goal last night while playing Xbox’s new smash hit Titanfall.

All that gaming is daunting and a little psychotic, but you gotta give the guy his props, he was definitely dedicated. Maybe all of that time could have been used to something more productive, but to each his own, man. The dude can say he’s a Guinness Book of World Records holder, no matter how trivial the record is. There are also a ton of more arbitrary feats that are immortalized in that book, and at least his doesn’t have to do with his the length of his fingernails.
Here’s a link to his final 4 hours of gameplay until he hits 1 million. If you don’t have 4 hours to kill, fast-forward to 3:46:16 to see his jubilation of the culmination of his being.
