Minecraft player's 35-hour gaming marathon By Zoe Kleinman Technology reporter BBC News

A British man hopes he can beat the record of Minecraft's longest-running game.
Joe Kelly from Cheltenham played the game for 35 hours 35 minutes and 35 seconds and raised PS1,800 for cancer research.
The current record, 24 hours, 10 minutes was set by Martin Fornleitner in Austria in 2011.
Minecraft is about building structures with blocks, exploring new worlds, and taking part in combat.

The title has sold more than 54 million copies around the world.
In the last year, Microsoft bought Mojang, the studio behind it for $2.5bn (PS1.5bn).
Mr. Kelly, who owns an entertainment company and is a voice actor has been playing the game since it came out in 2010. He usually plays for only a few hours a week.
He told BBC that he could stay awake and alert without caffeine, and it wasn't a problem.
"There were no stimulants other than sugar and stubbornness."
Kelly, who streamed the entire event live on YouTube and said that the stunt had taken its toll.
"My back and shoulders weren't hurting, nor did my shoulders hurt. The most painful thing was my fingers.
"They hurt so bad simply from being glued to the keyboard and mouse for so long.
"Every little break I got I was stretching my fingers."
Mr. Kelly and Sarah Vallance, his girlfriend are currently in the process to send evidence of their accomplishment to Guinness World Records.
However, he is not thinking to take a break from the game.
He said, "I introduced my girlfriend Minecraft to Minecraft, we often play together."
" It's a thing we like to do together. I'm not afraid to play."
