Guinness World Records: Gamer's Edition 2020

oh yeah 2020 was 4 years ago i forgot

I would like to thank Tommy Tallarico and his totally real record of working on over 350 games

This is more a "fun videogame facts" book with a few records thrown in.

Most viewed single read through of the Guinness Book of World Records Gaming Edition 2020 with only human hands turning pages by a guy named Scott, any% - Scott the Woz, 2024

bowsette being archived as a legit historical event is killing me

> "First Stealth-Action Protagonist to assassinate himself. Whose the competition?" > cuts to snake i dont think if Dominick and Scott know anything about metal gear's plot but this is actually the funniest cut ever

I love that almost everyone associates the Guinness World Record Gamer’s Edition with Thomas the Tallarico Engine now

Love the fanmade model used to represent Super Mario 64 DS in the Luigi section...

Guinness doing something for gamers has the same air and whiff as Verizon doing something for gamers.

We’re getting dangerously close to Scott making a full blown video related to Tommy Tallarico.

43:24 Scott is probably the first person to say "What about Rabbids Invasion, Guinness?"

I bought like an old “Popular Games Guide” from like 2016 and the best part is that it name drops the NX and it just felt good seeing that

I remember constantly reading these in elementary and the only thing I remember was that one of them used a scrapped boss for Cuphead on a top 5 boss list

- this has peak "Teacher trying to sound hip with the Youths" energy & i kinda love it - Speedrun records are kinda silly considering how competitive the scene is & how often records get beaten - so many of these "First to [blank]" records make me go "WAIT! THERE'S MORE THAN ONE OF THAT?!" - i guess "prolific" in the context of Party games means actually surviving and not just dumping 40 games on the Wii - Daisy & Luigi aren't a thing!! In fact she never really met Luigi until the Sports games - the Sonic Twitter has NEVER tried to be in-character - weirdly enough, i can think of at least 5 videogame swords bigger than the Buster Sword, 3 of them are from Dark Souls 2

I just bought a copy of the 2008 edition. Can't wait to read the interview with the creator of Sonic and Metroid Prime, Tommy Tallarico

19:16 hold up, something isn't right about that "sm64ds" render of Luigi that looks off (it's a sm64 fan version of Luigi instead of the sm64ds one lol)

3:21 never thought I’d see Scott acknowledge the existence of Bowsette.

When the teacher said it’s required reading time and you pulled this shed out they’d just let out a deep sigh and look down

The Amazon listing for this book has an option to buy a hardcover version (used), so I guess not all of the copies are paperback.

Hey, it’s the book series that Tommy Talerico got a totally legit record in of guy who’s worked on the most games in a lifetime, his mother must be very proud.
