PenPen is right though, we all need preparation plans.

Picking up the game: Seeing as this is probably the most insane game to date, it is fitting that we should nab the game while looking insane. I always wear shorts, even when it's about ten degrees outside, so I always look nuts. I might where my otaku shirt because Travis is one hell of an otaku. Everyone should wear something out of the ordinary when they pick up their copy. I'd also suggest calling Gamestop or wherever you're getting it and finding out how many copies they plan to get. If they're only getting one because you, one guy, preordered it, tell them not to rip it open as a display copy. You know you want it sealed. Similarly, tear the game open in the store and check the disc. We don't like damaged "brand new" games.

Playing the game: Have backup batteries at all times. There is no horror worse than a Wii-mote sans batteries. You may also want to have snacks handy. I'm a fan of plain old water, really, so that and maybe some beef jerky ought to do it for me. Also, if your TV can use component cables, get them. They make a huge difference.

Handling your responsibilities: First, take care of as many chores before you grab the game. I plan to take out the trash in the morning so I won't have to do it later. Likewise, some of us are in finals week. I already got accepted into college (Rochester Institute of Technology: Video Game Design and Development Program), but I need to maintain a decent average so I don't get denied later for being lazy. Studying is sort of impossible to do permanently beforehand, so you'll have to either sacrifice game time, study time, or sleep. It's your call, chief!

Promoting the game: Be sure to log on to AIM, Yahoo, MSN, ICQ, or whatever you use and leave an away message saying that you're playing No More Heroes, the best game ever. Leave them a link to the opening video or something. When you take a break from playing the game, assault every forum you can, telling them how awesome the game is. If you can write a non-biased review, do it. Tell your friends about how awesome it is. Once you've beaten and unlocked everything, maybe loan it out. Tell everyone about this game!

I hope my suggestions prove useful to you all. You might want to see about a soundtrack download (and purchase!) so you can blare music in your car. See you in a day, guys.

I still have a few more papers to write so I will have to wait to pick up the game until this weekend. But Mr. Smiley's plan reminded me that I need to get batteries, that remote is always dying on me causing me to go downstairs to get batteries. Then when I put them in downstairs the game suddenly turns on upstairs and all chaos ensues.
