    I once took a coffee machine to a lan and man that was a silly decision I could hardly stay still ie the mouse was all jittery due to me having the uneasyness of 10 cups of strong perculated coffee....

    oh but don't go to a party the night b4 and sleep 2 hours then go to a lan its next to impossible to last..... BUT i did somehow mind you at about 4am I decided I wanted to go home but my mate was coming at 9am to play a few games on my machine then drop me and my machine home....

    free jolt, energy drinks, coke etc

    i've watch demos of myself playing before and after caffeine, and the difference is insane. So twitchy (after) but I aim so much better since caffeine is proven to reduce your reaction time etc

    Caffiene pills? Ephedrine pills? Do those fit in this thread. I've never used 'em at a LAN, but I have the next day to stay awake at work.

    Gatorade or Powerade.... The blue one is yummy. Lots of it. A couple of 1 litre bottles at least. You CAN'T fall asleep... cause if I did... I'd piss myself!

    With an occassional coffee and a smoke.

    Don't buy the gatorade in a bottle, get the powder stuff from the shops and mix it as you go with water.... save ya a bundle.

    I've found that after a dozen cans of coke, my eyes get blurry and itchy, and I feel like shit.

    My general best defense against feeling seedy at a lan, is real food, yes thats right, real food (and sleep).

    I take some sandwiches with me to lans, and usually on a drinks run will buy some noodles in a cup things, then at 3am when everyone is feeling like shit, I boil the jug, and have a feed, nice and warm.

    The one problem I've found is that everone else is fucked by that time and so I'm the only one still up and doing anything.

    Yeah ususally after 2 litres of coke i start to feel uber seedy, thats why i choose the suger filled wonder that is Fanta, and share the fun with erm, myself :) and my stomach :) hehe

    sanwiches, nice one, im personally sick of pizza at lans, other things we tend to eat of late tend to be LARGE quantities of Tater chips, but yeah, mabye for the next BONG lan, ill have SuSHI :) hehe

    Btw, Freaek, where in sydeney are you fromm dood?
