I do a full day's work. Not too hard but a desk job. I go home and after the girlfriend and eating I start to play around 9pm. But I keep falling asleep during the CPU processing of my second or third turn. Any of you guys have any advice in keeping awake?

Sometimes I will do a couple turns, and then go to my favorite boards for a bit and then come back and do a couple more turns.

"Catch 22" would be a good start....

I remember when Jolt first came out. My gaming group started drinking it because we ran all-night RPG sessions. I still remember all of us almost literally humming and vibrating enough to levitate after each of us had drunk most of a six-pack. *BZZZZZZZZ*

(Of course, this was back when they could get away with the slogan "Twice the sugar and caffinee of regular coke!")

Moutain Dew is allways my first purchase when I´m in the US, I love this stuff.

While I can get Dr. Pepper here for an exorbitant price, it´s really hard to come by Moutain Dew.

Jolt, hmm, seen the advertisments, never tried it.

Humor threads??!! Guys, I was serious. I need to get past to 1942 before a patch comes out. At this rate I'm fighting the war literally a day per turn.

The worst thing is I play on my laptop and I get really lazy and lie down on the bed to play. Then I just lose consciousness and the next thing I know the laptop has burned my stomach.

This also leads to another question: what's the average number of turns you guys do a night?

Anyone remember this from The Simpsons?

Homer: "Give me a coke"

Street Vender: "no coke. Only Mountain Dew or crab juice"

Homer: "Eww, yuck!... give me a crab juice."
