John McAllister, a guy who will now have to fend off hot women with a stick for the rest of his life, has conquered the mythically longstanding Asteroids all time high score of 41,336,440 set in November 14, 1982 by 15-year-old Scott Safran, with a score of 41,338,740 points.
On Saturday, John McAllister sat down at a friend?s house near Portland, Oregon to play a game of Asteroids. By Monday, he was still playing.
At 10:18 p.m. Pacific, he scored 41,338,740 points, a new all-time high score. In doing so, he beat a record that has stood for over 27 years. He stayed awake for 3 days accomplishing this feat.
Every few hours, once he had racked up enough extra lives, McAllister got up from his barstool, paced the room, ate a sandwich, then sits back down to play. A last-minute bathroom break Monday evening almost cost McAllister the title: He got down to only two ships remaining before rallying back.
Ah, I can only imagine the inevitable freak-out that would have followed had his last-minute bathroom break caused him to lose; WHY DIDN’T I JUST PISS MYSELF?!!

WHY DIDN?T I JUST PISS MYSELF?!!
A question that it is always appropriate to ask oneself, at all times.
BS. Asteroid’s score would roll over at 999,999.
