as of tomorrow i have decided to do what has been described as a week long allnighter. i know this is stupid BUT its to show a few of my friends who think doing one allnighter of gaming is "hardcore" ,plus another friend falls asleep at the worse moments and blames it on his very normal sleep cycle.
in basic, can anyone tell me what games,food, drink...basically everything to keep myself awake.

Kid, as someone who has made the unfortunate mistake of tripping diphenhydramine (diphenhydramine is a sleep aid which basically excellerates the process of sleepiness so that one enters the same state they would in a state of extreme sleep deprivation) let me tell you what a monumental fucking nightmare you are in for if you try this. In a severely sleep deprived state the brain begins to shut down in such a way that one starts dreaming while awake. What that means is that you will have vivid and mostly unpleasant hallucinations. The most common hallucination, in case you were wondering, is that spiders are everywhere. But I've read reports from people in extreme sleep deprived states having every experience from hallucinating that there is a hive of bees in the room with them, to hallucinating that a group of large men broke into their house to rob and assault them. But let me back up a little bit here, when I say hallucinations, that's not entirely accurate, these are delirious hallucinations, what that means is that you CAN NOT TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE HALLUCINATION AND REALITY. When I hallucinated spiders I thought they were real. I sat on my couch and talked to people who were not even there and had no idea that I wasn't talking to anyone. Hell, at one point I was sitting in the bathroom when a blue vase started hovering in front of me, and instead of thinking "that's weird" I thought "I don't remember putting that there".
What I'm saying is that if you somehow manage to stay up for an entire week, by the time it's done you're going to be in and out of terrifying hallucinations, barely connected with reality, your memory will be SEVERELY impaired (in my deliriant induced sleep deprived state I could not remember the password to log into the computer that I had used for FIVE YEARS. That's right, I forgot the password that I had entered in that computer EVERY SINGLE DAY FOR FIVE YEARS! Your eyesight will become terribly blurry, it will become impossible to read, partially because it's almost impossible to get your eyes to focus, and partially because by the time you finish reading a sentence you've forgotten how the sentence started. Oh, and to top it all off, you're going to feel like shit the entire time. Your body will become incredibly heavy, like, just getting up to go to the bathroom will be an incredible strain.
Did I forget to mention that the way that you will interact with your hallucinations will make you seem insane? I'm gonna go ahead and assume that you're young enough to still live with your parents (mostly because it's hard for me to imagine anyone with the amount of maturity one needs to live on their own thinking this is a good idea). So, making my assumption, your parents will probably think either A) that you've lost your mind or B) that you're on drugs. Either way, the repercussions of them thinking that are not gonna be pleasant. I mean, after you piss in the kitchen trashcan while the pastor's visiting because you thought that it was a toilet that was running away from you, they're going to have no choice but to think that something has gone horribly awry. If they think that you're crazy, you get to look forward to some serious therapy and some really awkward explaining. And, if they think your on drugs [and I don't know your parents, but most parents I know, this is the conclusion they'd come to] they'll call the hospital. An ambulance will pick you up, and take you to the ER, where you will get to experience the joys of liquid charcoal, which is exactly what it sounds like, liquified charcoal that they will force feed you in order to try and absorb any of the drugs that are left in your stomach. And, in case you were wondering, liquid charcoal is anything but pleasant, especially when mixed with vivid hallucinations.
After you've finally finished the ordeal of dealing with the ramifications of your self-induced sleep deprivation, you'll get to live the rest of your life hearing really embarrassing stories about the crazy fucking shit you did while your mind was gone. And if you think that your friends are still gonna think that you're hardcore after you ran naked into the middle of the street screaming about the monster tentacle that ate the sister you don't even have, they won't. They're going to think you're an idiot for putting yourself through that ridiculous bullshit just to prove to them what "hardcore" actually means".
The point that I'm making here, is that if you actually pull this off, you're going to remember it as one of (probably the) most horrible times of your entire life. It's not gonna be fun, and it's not going to prove anything to anyone except that you don't think through your actions. DON'T DO IT!
