I'm having the same problem as srpoopie. I get really far then the game freezes. It then tells me that a script is making my computer to run slowly and i have to abort the script. Upon aborting, the whole game crashes. Looks like i won't be getting the hard badges. '-'
For all who didn't unlock Social Network badge, beat the game then restart it and do it again. I reported this badge missing TWICE, and nothing was done. So just restart and you (should) get it. I did :)
