Another relaxing weekend has passed. The weather was great outside, but our planned hike fell through because we got lazy and decided to hunker down and play video games instead. Finished playing
LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean: The Video Game. Now on to the free play mode to collect and unlock everything, and some more APB Reloaded, which has a stress test before the next big patch.
When we took a break from gaming, we watched some more
Leverage and the newest episode of
Falling Skies.
Apart from that, we did a whole lot of nothing, and it was great!

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 ...
