Lousy Bugs

So that great Sid Meier's Crack 4 game I was raving about two days ago? It's buggy. Really buggy. So buggy that I can't play and finish the game - I get about 2/3 into it, and then it slows down to the point where it crashes my computer. I've looked online and other people are having the same problem. It sounds like a patch is in the works to fix the problems - in the meantime, there's nothing I can do about it.

Hm... I pre-order a great game, buy a new PC, clear my schedule to play it, ignore my blog to obsess over it - and then find out that I can't even play it.

There's a lesson to be learned here. But I'll be damned if I know what it is.
