You mean when he fell asleep? Once. It lasted only a few minutes till a friend called me and woke me up. There's a picture somewhere of me asleep with the 'defeat' sign from starcraft over my bowed head when I passed out mid game.

Chat is great. Chat is mighty. Chat is love. Chat is life.

I start prep a month in advance. I cut out caffeine, and I do weekly 24 hour streams to get my sleep schedule confused. I'm still working out the kinks in the process and trying different ways of preparing. Its good to get 10-12 hours the night before I start.

Eating right before hand is good, but during the marathon I find a small but steady stream of carb heavy food helps a lot. Pizza, chinese, indian, etc work great to keep you going with the occasional turky sandwich thrown in. Still working on refining diet.

Sleep is good. Get lots of it every day. I sleep 8-11 hours a day, only starving myself of sleep when it's important.

Work hard, don't bow to pressure from others, be who you are and don't lie to yourself.

This time I will be! I'm looking forward to them. I haven't decided what they'll be yet.
