The photo above documents a world record breaking for gathering of videogame-costumed characters, and is a good approximation of the nightmares I suffered for months after completing Super Mario 64.
The 80 gamers gathered on London's Millennium Bridge dressed as Sonic the Hedgehog, Yoshi, Lara Croft, Detective Gumshoe, Vincent Valentine and others. Thirty local school children dressed as Mario. The record attempt celebrates the inaugural Guinness World Record Gamer's Edition 2008 that is on sale now.
The photos are entirely ridiculous. There's another under the cut, as well as Attack of the Show's entry in the book of feats.
