I'm going to wait until the New and Improved "Collectors" Edition is released.

Until then I will be busy reading all the Moans and Groans and Ooohs and Ahhhs here.

First thing I have to do is explain to my wife were $49.99 disappeared to.

Hold it there peeps.
You cant build a house without setting up the substructure. If you do so you'll be running from one problem into another.

The first 5 things ill be doing is building the substructure.

1: Go to the super market and get a month's food, water and alchohol supply.

2: Format the PC and put on only the vital software for the game to run with the latest updates.

3: Turn off cellphone.

4: Unplug the phone.

5: Lock the door, unplug the ringbell and nail a warning sign on the door.
Oh, and cover the windows with something dark. Pitch is good.

Then tell everyone im in a middle of a major project and i want to be alone.
Then i'll enjoy the game for quite some time since none is gonna disturb me.

2)Press Install

3)Watch progress bar
(Screaming at the screen cause I want to play it now

)

4)Finish install and restart PC

5)Finally after all this time waiting, play and enjoy
