The weekend flew by again. Why can't it drag on like the work week usually does? Luckily, the weather was quite good, and it only started raining this morning.

Was a relaxing day yesterday with lots of food (dim sum with some friends in the morning, lamb stew for dinner), some gaming (DC Universe Online, Stronghold Kingdom) and lots of TV watching (Knight & Day, Blue Bloods, Bones and Fringe). No, I didn't get around to fixing my PC yet, but I looked at it a few times. I'm getting warmed up!

For all you forgetful folks out there, today is Valentine's Day, so put down the controller and do/get something nice for your wife, fiancée, girlfriend or mother.

Yesterday we saw The King's Speech, and we were pleasantly surprised at how good and entertaining it was. I had not done any reading up on it, so I assumed it had something to do with a medieval king making a noteworthy speech sometime in history. While the latter is true, it is set  in early 20th century Britain, right before the start of World War II.

Aside from doing some errands, I also played some Genesis A.D. and tried out Alliance of Valiant Arms, two free-to-play FPS titles. Both are quite decent, with AVA being the favorite, but for some reason, that game inexplicably makes my PC shut down after a few minutes of play. I've uninstalled, re-downloaded the install from a different source, and updated my video card drivers to no avail. Bummer ...

My CrimeCraft experience has once again come to a screeching halt. After being banned four times for questionable reasons — not for hacking/glitching, which is rampant in the community — I played under an old friend's account (he'd left the game last year). Earlier this week, the developers figured it out, and sure enough, the next day, I was banned for account sharing.

I can hear you say, "Man, give it up already. They obviously don't want you there." Vogster's MMOFPS isn't a stellar game, but I have many friends there, and it was the only reason I kept coming back. In a sign of solidarity, most of my pals have quit CrimeCraft, and we will move on to APB shortly.

Most MMOs expand their world, but after more than a year, Vogster decided to cut the lobby in half and split players across two servers. It's not because there were SO many players; both servers run on low population most of the time. There are daily "server maintenance" downtimes, which don't resolve anything since additional server reboots ensue, sometimes multiple times a day. There is constant server lag, and European players are mixed with North American users, causing lag during PvP. There is also HackShield's inability to detect any hackers.

A quick Google/YouTube search yields tools to help you cheat in the game. Several Web sites list the number of people who are using their third-party hacks and in which game, but very little disciplinary action is taken in CrimeCraft. Two Web sites reveal that about 80 people are currently hacking in CrimeCraft — about 10% of the game's population. If you call out somebody for hacking, though, the GMs will tell you to not say anything in public and ask you to file a customer service ticket. Then they'll hide behind a "privacy policy," so they can't follow up.

Yes, let's all stick our heads in the sand ....
