Tomorrow is Xenoblade Chronicles day!

Which for most people will result in something resembling the following:

  1. Pick up Xenoblade Chronicles
  2. Go home and play Xenoblade Chronicles

But, unfortunately, for ME at least, the process will actually look something more like this:

  1. Pick up Xenoblade Chronicles
  2. Work the rest of the day (periodically flipping through the art book, of course)
  3. Go out to dinner with the wife
  4. Bed (I’ve recently cut soda out of my diet, which means I’ve been going to bed a lot earlier than I used to)
  5. Help my sister build a fence all day Saturday
  6. Bed (because, man, I’m likely going to be exhausted after that)
  7. Easter service and family stuff on Sunday
  8. Stare longingly at my lonely copy of Xenoblade Chronicles every time I pass by, wondering when I’ll get a chance to play

Mind you, I’m not complaining about any of the things I’ve got going on this weekend — especially date night with the wife, which is always a wonderful time. Just a bit of poor planning on my part which results in a fantastic, highly-anticipated new RPG game sitting quietly on a shelf awaiting its moment to shine. Hopefully, it won’t be waiting long. Unfortunately, unlike Skyward Sword, I likely won’t be able to play Xenoblade around the kids. Which means it’s automatically relegated to the post-bedtime hours. So, there’s that.

And yes, I’ve tagged this first world problems, because, yeah.
