Hundreds of video game fans have dressed as characters from their favourite games to break a world record which was just days old!
A total of 342 gamers dressed as icons from games such as Final Fantasy, Zelda and Solid Snake in east London, UK, as part of the London Games Festival.
They narrowly broke a record of 337 set last week in Germany so you have to feel sorry for those folks. How soul destroying is it to hang onto a new world record for just a few days!
The record was verified by Guinness World Records at the Excel Centre in Docklands on Saturday.
A further 50 fans in fancy dress could not take part as rules stated that characters who were primarily famous from movies were disqualified.
The festival continues with events throughout London until 2 November, including game demonstrations and advice on working in the industry.
