Man 'beats' Bejeweled 2 after playing for 3 years

We admire all forms of dedication -- even the absolutely insane forms. A California steel contractor named Mike Leyde recently displayed one such type of persistence by playing a single round of his casual game of choice, Bejeweled 2, for 2,205 hours and 51 minutes over the course of three years. In that time, he collected 4,872,229 gems, earning the game's highest calculable score, 2,147,483,647, at which point the score display got really perplexed and went blank.

Don't you just love it when a game can't calculate the score any higher than what's possible?

so how can he prove he did it? I mean if the score went blank, would it not save his high score as nothing?

.....no sir.

So I guess it saved the highest number before it went blank then, we don't see the score go to - or 0 instead of his huge score in the video as far as I can see...
