Why do people hack games?

"Why do people hack games?"
... on Askville by Amazon



There are lots of other reason as well I'm sure... but there are three big factors I can think of...


1. Challenge - either the game is too hard or too easy, the hack itself would be a challenge worth overtaking, or the difficulty of hacking the game is so rediculously easy that it's hard not to.


2. Money - the game costs too much (simply costs too much, or doesn't give enough for the price and the hacker wants to make the game do more to feel like it was money well spent), the person doesn't have enough money, or the person doesn't want to spend the money they have on the game.


3. Bragging rights - they want to say they've done something in the game that they can't do as easily without hacking, or they want to say that they've hacked the game.




10:03:00 AM

to hack - why play in the first place? people should view it as a challenge to overcome all the obstacles. well, i can say these people cannot stand to lse. that's all. all the rest of the reasons are just excuses. hacking loses all value of playing a game. might as well just sleep and don't waste time!

A little bit of everything

i read this somewhere before. and it's been ringing in my head these days...

how important is it to be honest.
questioning the degree of honesty simply seems to beats the whole logic outta being honest.



anyway, whilst waiting for Poppy to be home for dinner,
i made some pasta salad to bring to work tomorrow. yumz.
today's lunch was homemade Japanese Curry with Fusili plus a pop of Honey Ice Cream.

spent our 3rd Anniversary eating porridge at the interchange because i had diarrhea just before he came by to fetch me. how timely. took a short drive past the famous chicken rice stall which Stanley and Alicia recommended, just to be sure we know how to get there the next time.

the girls came by after our usual pasta dinners (Vongolehhhhhh) at Piccolo.
grabbed our standard bottle of beer and tucked into some hot fondue + cakes Sherine bought from Coffeebean. the girls went high on Bailey's and slouched on the couch as we drooled at some random Taiwanese food variety show on telly.


anyhoos, Poppy and i re-celebrated with a nice dinner at Arashi, in JB.
one mini hotpot for each diner (that's if u order hotpot items, of course) a choice of 4 soup bases: Miso Soup; Japanese Broth; Kimuchi Soup; i forgot what's the last, oops.

the portion is rather small though, so we popped by J.Co to get half a dozen of donuts. mwahaha.


last but not least Ally and Shan have both returned from the States.
Shan has my Coach loot! yummeh yummeh.
the bill arrived today at a dollar short of SGD600 >.<>
ok, Poppy's back.
tata.

Shoppeh shoppeh!
 
Well, there's various degree of friendship too. To each its own. Be truthful to your desire! emo: /brow

Team Building @ Sentosa

had our team building event in Sentosa yesterday with our colleagues from Hong Kong, Tokyo, Sydney and Singapore.

madness but totally awesome.

as if my 2-hour Yoga workout the day before wasn't enough to break my limbs, the 3 rounds of Laser Shootout (approx 3 hours in total) - strategizing; running; hiding; mad shooting, sure as hell did.
apart from Raf's minor accident where he fractured his arm, everyone else completed the game safely... but were all VERY tired.

Robert, Joyce and me shared a cab home to wash up, whilst some of the guys headed back to the hotels and the others hung around Sentosa/Vivocity for a bit.

met up again in the evening at Bosses Restaurant in Vivocity for our dinner.
it spotted this extremely dark, classy and cool interior, thus giving it the name 黑社會 (literally Black Society aka Secret Society/Mafia in Mandarin)

we all agree that the food was pretty good. the bill came up to $1200-odd for our tables of 22.
considering the amount of beer the guys downed, i should think it's pretty reasonably priced.
some of their items didn't really impress me, there was this red-ish looking fatty pork that tasted a little odd =S

anyhoos, i love their Szechuan Grilled Crispy Duck, Mango Pomelo Sago and their Signature Custard Bun (with yummy salted egg custard fillings).

'nuff said for now.
here's some photos from the Laser Shootout

15 October 2009

i shall go rest my fingers and arms, and update again when i get more photos from the guys.
