im thinking Red Bull? not sure if its better to get a good nights sleep and start early on the friday as opposed to playing for 24 hours straight...



I am trying to figure out my timetable as well. I am USA, Central time. I think it releases here at 10am on 9/23. Pretty sure that is correct. So I know Wednesday night im going to stay up a little late so I can sleep in until 8:30am-9am. If I dont stay up late ill never be able to sleep that late lol.

Also, I am looking for a group to play with that wants to start and GRIND the playthrough on thursday morning

36 straight, no nap breaks? Obviously you can eat and play. quick restroom breaks. But im pretty certain I can't go 36 straight. I will for sure make 24 straight though.

No nap breaks but I'll probably take a 30 - 1hr break here and there. I wont sit at the PC for 36 straight, ill have micro breaks (food, to go smoke, interact with the family a bit) .

More like 3-5 hour sessions with a micro break inbetween or after. Otherwise I get drowsy at the 24hour mark

This is what I am hoping to be able to do. I am hoping the long hours on my feet on the hospital floor will have conditioned me to be able to play for 24+

For me I have adderrall. I will be supplementing it with one of the no-sugar energy drinks such as bang or xyience.

Plenty of water (5 gallon jug with dispenser near my desk.)

Mini fridge with ice backs for my wrists if they get sore/hurty.

Go buy some arthritis cream for your wrist. There is a product called Voltaren Gel you can get at CVS or Walgreens (probably similar places as well). Just a few years ago you had to have a prescription to get this stuff. Now it is over the counter. It is a little pricey. Like $20 a tube. But a tube will last you awhile. Your wrist will thank you.

Right, I mean back when I was a kid skipping a day of school or even college for an extra game day was nothing. But as an adult this just feels wrong, in such a good way LOL!



We all need break sometimes ;) don’t feel guilt
