With no movies this weekend, we're saving ourselves for
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 and mainly
Captain America: The First Avenger. We did, however, watch some Burn Notice, and maybe later today a few more episodes of Leverage. All in all, a quiet weekend.
When we weren't doing errands or watching TV, we played
LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean: The Video Game and of course APB Reloaded. In the latter's case, I've been quite cranky the past few days due to what I suspect is a sudden influx of hackers. Now, I know when people lose some games, they cry foul, but when people on our team go from winning 7 out of 10 games, to 3 out of 10 overnight, then it's hard to not be a little suspicious. Add to that griefers (people running you off the road with a heavy truck because they are bored) or ghosters (players in a team that did not get pulled into an instance, giving away your position) and things get frustrating very quickly ...

Back from the 1C "Another Night in Moscow" event at the Russian Consulate, where there were copious amounts of food, drink and video games. A little old lady cornered me at the event and started telling me her life story. I must have one of those faces ....
We're taking a break from movies this weekend because nothing interesting is out. We have the "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1" DVD from Netflix, so we might try to watch that and get caught up in time for "Part 2," which hits theaters next weekend.

We've decided to boycott
The Smurfs movie because of Capcom's Smurfs' Village iPod game. Sometime last week, there was an update with the customary fixes and some new content. Ever since the patch, the game crashed multiple times a day. That on its own is not the cause of our malcontent, but yesterday, our save game went corrupt, and our level 35 village turned into a noob level 1, wiping out months of hard work. A quick check on the web revealed that we're not the only ones experiencing this issue, and until this is fixed, we are not seeing
The Smurfs movie, even though the two have no ties.
We're just mean like that. :)
