After suffering through graphical glitches and sputtering, the game that would at least boot up (Trine) somehow sent my machine into a panicky forced shutdown and I couldn't even get it to turn back on for twenty minutes. Every now and then these incidents are great -- they remind me why I stick to consoles, handhelds, and the rare Popcap game. I've gotten much better at renting games, too, and if they're not fun by the end of the first level I send them right back.
