On Windows 8

OH MY GOD MICROSOFT. WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?!

If I wanted another Xbox, I would buy another Xbox.

Rejected. Get back to the drawing board for Windows 9.

Chop chop.

Corruption; not limited to politics!

So I bought Cities XL 2012 in the Steam 75% sale on Focus products this weekend, however I didn't get to play until earlier today before work because of the game not launching after installation. At first I thought, "Well fuck, I just paid for a broken game."

However, I wasn't too butthurt over the prospect, since I only paid about $9 total for it. Interesting to note that just before the game was added to my Steam games library it had done some odd quirky thing during the download process where it looked like it hadn't been downloaded properly.

On a whim, I decided to delete the local files and tried to download the game again.

The game worked the second time around. I'm so smurt.

Lesson of the day: sometimes your software just decides to fuck itself over and needs a helping hand to straighten things out.
