A Kiwi gamer is hoping he's scored an unusual Guinness World Record - scoring the most goals in a game of Rocket League with an instrument controller.
Dylan Beck, better known by his handle of 'Rudeism', made the official attempt on Sunday evening, with two friends to witness it.
Rudeism has gained worldwide attention due to his method of playing games 'wrong', and told Newshub he started playing Rocket League using a Rock Band guitar as the controller last year.
"There's been a subgenre that's evolved on Twitch recently where people play games with weird controllers and stuff like that," he says.
"It's a lot of fun. It's something that looks incredibly dumb and incredibly painful and unnecessarily so, but once you start getting into it is why you realise why it's so much fun."
Beck broadcast his record attempt live on streaming service Twitch, with his audience cheering him on in chat the whole time.
He even had time to call his mum in the middle of it all - though Beck admits it probably wasn't the best idea.
"I think I sacrificed a whole tonne of goals doing that," he says.
"It probably wasn't the smartest thing to do but it was worth it, it was worth a laugh."
It ended up costing him his first serious attempt, narrowly missing the 56 point target set with the Guinness organisers.
The games were set against the lowest difficultly AI in order to standardise it for other people attempting the same record in the future.
"I wanted to try and crack 80. I think when I hit 80 was that point when I went, 'Yes, that was awesome, that's it'," Beck says.
His final attempt of the night saw 88 goals hit successfully - and the timer run out just as the 89th flew towards the net.
Beck says he would've been more upset if time ticked over between the 89th and 90th goal.
"Just because 90 is such a more important number than 89. It was just, one more would've been nice, but I was happy to have got it done really."
Once all the evidence is pulled together and submitted, Beck hopes to hear back from the organisers soon.
In the meantime, he has plenty of other challenges planned to keep him busy.
"Doing things that anyone else can do regularly, but with some kind of self-imposed handicap, it's just a lot of fun," Beck says.
"I'm looking forward to all the different challenges I'm going to be doing on my Twitch. There's a long path ahead."
