The Dead Know Only One Thing: It Is Better To Be Alive
by Rainier on July 10, 2011 @ 12:00 a.m. PDT | Filed under MOTD
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 ...
