ARGH

Mike bought the Sims 3 for me today, and is getting up with Charlie tomorrow morning so I can sleep in, meaning that I get to stay up late and play the Sims tonight.  Nice!

Except the fucking game won't install no matter what I do, because of CRC errors on the DVD drive, and I can't register it to download it because the automated widget says the code that came in the package is invalid, so I've been working on troubleshooting my fucking computer for two and a half fucking hours.  Troubleshooting computers is my DAY JOB, not how I should spend the one free evening I'm likely to have this week ARGH DAMNIT!  And which is now over.  "Sleeping in" around here means 9 am.

The support site says they'll answer the email I sent within 24 hours.  Fat lot of good that will do me.

That sucks. Did you check the origin? Maybe it was manufactured in Russia: "In Soviet Union... GAME plays YOU!

Only somewhat related, but it doesn't surprise me that EA is full of fail. (http://www.journalfen.net/community/unfunnybusiness/139185.html)

That was making me even more enraged, the whole time...and still is. ARGH
