so i've gotten so bored, that i'm going to reinstall an older game. C&C3, Tiberium Wars
edit: or maybe not. apparently windows 8 thinks this game is "potentially unwanted software"
did some searching, and apparently windows 8 has compatability issues with this game. bastards, it's one of my favorites! guess i gotta play RA3.
edit 2: and now Steam doesn't wanna work for me. FFS, i should just give up for today
