mikegoodman25 Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 What are your techniques when pulling an all nighter? Watch TV, listen to Music, stock up on food and drink etc. Ive not done one in a while and im thinking about doing one to get quite a distance into my Wigan save. Lets here the methods!

ChewyFun Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 a looooong playlist of music, a few tubes of pringles, a litre of Coke and FM. thats when buying that mini-fridge finally makes sense Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractor_Boy_Rv Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Red Bull, and lots of it! Family Guy or something similar on the TV.. Brilliant! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BamaToon Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 My all-nighters usually involve large amounts of alcohol, but I wouldn't recommend that unless you don't really care about your game. Food is a must though, as is music or television. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
greekmike Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 AHA!!! a thread worth talking about lol. My FM all nighters consist of Pitta bread with tarama (Its number one on any all nighter), crisps, dips, coke, red bull, a boxset on the tv/dvd a pillow under my arse the window open and.... my spurs shirt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Fairbairn Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Coffee, cigs, curry, music(Oasis, Manics as well as some good '70s stuff) and the odd bout on my Mega Drive(Sonic the Hedgehog 2 or Streets of Rage 2) or SNES(Super Mario Allstars or Punch Out) to calm me down if I get to that angry point of no return where you start making stupid mistakes due to not thinking straight. An hour of Sonic or Mario fun usually beats the anger right outta me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
small Mac Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Ahh i miss the good old days of having an FM/CM all-nighter during school holidays. These days a late night session usually occurs after a night out involving alcoholic beverages, and even then it will only last until i fall uncoscious mid-match. Any proper all-nighter should involve plenty of sugary drinks, fatty food and good music:thup: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheach Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Had one last weekend actually! Me and my mate watched the entire American Office on DVD and played new save games through to 9:30am!!! What is everyone elses record for staying up late on an all nighter? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Fairbairn Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 I did 3 days one time. Although that was International Superstar Soccer 64, back when I was a 14 year old skiving git. I got a N64 and the game, but couldn't afford a memory card, so me and my friend taken turns at beating the 36 team(home and away, BTW) league. Worst part is we lost the playoff vs. the all star team. Definitely couldn't do that now, I mean I can still pull all nighters, but after one night we're too knackered to go on. I mean we've had sessions where we started at 2pm one day and given up at like 10pm the next day due to looking and feeling like zombies. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenArsenal Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 I've never had an all-nighter. My parents would scream at me if I did. The latest I've done was 4am+. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vrv Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 I am planning an all nighter since I have this week off and nothing to do. I usually play FM all day and fit in some other stuff but I don't sleep. I always work at night but no calls this week! I will probably do it in a few days...maybe Thursday?

phnompenhandy Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 I'm hardcore, me. For my all-nighters there's no TV, no food, no drink, no toilet break. Mind you, I'm always off to bed after just one more .... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomis07 Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 I've done an all-dayer, but never an all-nighter. In my day all-nighters were about booze and laydays, tut the youth of today Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Fairbairn Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Psh, in my day('96-2001 ) we used to do the booze and laydays on Saturdays, but the rest of the time(when not at college... I never went to school, I regret this now) we'd spend it playing thems video games and football. Football for the day, and video games for the nights.

llama3 Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 my all nighters arent planned, they involved my favourite food (pasta, spinach, basil pesto and sliced thin chillis (the HOT ones!)) and some schweppes lemonade <- yes i am picky. oh and some tv, normally scrubs or mock the week i dont do them that often, but they are good when i do. last all nighter though i lost the champions league final on penalties at 6am, was so annoyed with myself for bothering to stay up all night for that!

golfpunk Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Me and my mate haven't had an all-nighter FM session yet but I do remember when we were alot younger we always tried to do all nighters while playing Treble Champions on the Amiga.

robertodibaggio Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Unfortunately the 'state of mind' I'm in when playing FM doesn't lend itself to staying up all night, 3-4 is my limit these days and that is once in a blue moon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

iacovone Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Got to say I've never done an all nighter just for FM. It was always Uni - related. Anyway as everyone's said you need a great music playlist, some redbull, good snacks and a never say die attitude!! You can't quit!! Sleep is for the WEAK!!

pandemonium Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Ahhh the good old all-nighter days. The best one would have to be when my roomate's, neighbour's and my gfs wen't away for some family things during X-mas/New years college break, and the three of us played a pretty much non-stop game for a week. Whatever you do make sure you pack lots of redbull/coffee, have some tv on the bcground, your pizza place # handy, and you should be fine .... unless you get that call from that girl in the middle of the night ... there goes all your plan out the window Good luck!

Mullers Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 My most perfect all nighter so far involved a big bottle of pepsi and orange fanta those really nice chewy cookies from sainsburys, then moving onto a rustlers burger half way through just to make sure you still have your senses, but last of all a friend is compulsory to pick you up when your feeling sleepy and just to make yourself look a little less sad have to say I've only ever all-nightered on xbox 360 with about 3/4 mates and its quality, usually during summer as well.

SSGTroyer Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 I work 3rd shift, so every night is an all-nighter. Every single night. On the weekends, I subtract the commute, add FM, Rockstar, coffee, and a lunch break about 3am, and go until the kids wake up. Suddenly, it becomes bedtime......wierd, that......

Davey Boy Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 For me when i pull an all nighter i usually have bottles of 7up, tayto crisps or walkers crisps, at least seven cups of tea, the beatles playing in the backround or the tv on behind me and a dish to pee in cause lets face it, im not leaving the sitting room to go to the john also i have to have a pillow under my backside cause hours of sitting down is gonna take it toll.

mikegoodman25 Posted March 11, 2009 Author Share Posted March 11, 2009 Great to hear the replies, mix and match some theories and will put them into practise soon, early night before hand though and definately stock up on food and drink to maximise game time.
