Staying up all night and need something to do

These boards probably slow up around this time of night (or day for some people) and I'm pulling an all nighter. I plan on watching either The Matrix or the commentary on Chasing Amy. Maybe do some reading (Shatterpoint) also.
Anyone have tips on pulling all nighters?

Yeah, don't stop moving and never close your eyes.

Don't masturbate. That'll end up making you tired.
Well, you can a little, but just watch out that you don't do too much.

I gotta stay regular. Wank it every 4-7 days.

I recommend video games. They do the trick for me every night.

Yeah, games are definitely your friend. DoD and/or Soldat are good. The only game that has ever consistently had me doing all nighters (and indeed completely fucked up my sleep/awake time last summer) was Neverwinter Nights

What usually keeps me up is games(Was up all night playing the Superhero AMX mod for Counter-Strike servers, think of it as the WC3 mod but with superheroes.) and movies. (and caffine of course)
EDIT: I recommend RPGs, like Dungeon Siege or Morrowind, have killed lots of hours with games like those.

Lots of strong coffee and if you smoke a good brand of cigs and lots of sugery snacks.

I'd say a new video game. With movies and books, you run the risk of dozing off, but they'll work too. The important thing is to always have something to do, or else you'll fall asleep due to boredom.

Movies put me to sleep but for somereason. The little bit of activity it takes to work a computer helps me stay up much longer than just watching a movie or reading a book.

I recommend Risk if you have others with you.

Wank it every 4-7 days.
That's it? Dissappointing.
I usually hit the sack around 1:30 to 2:00 in the morn', but for an all-nighter, I recommend a lot of coffee, if you're a first-timer. Three and a half days without sleep is my record.

I just pulled a 50 hour stint a couple of days ago due to work and projects around the home. Since wednesday morning at 11:30 am until now I have logged 6 solid hours of sleep. So 6 hours of sleep in the past 84 or so hours. Nope, there's no pride in that really. It is what it is.
