Offensive to Gamers

[kedawa]

Were people actually expecting something realistic or intelligent?

We're talking about a show about forensic investigators written by people who know next to nothing about forensics.

The mainstream media have always been laughably out of touch with reality, and there's no reason to expect that to change as soon as the subject of their medicore drivel shifts to videogames.

In every crime story there's a "bad guy" that a particular group of people can get offended over if they have thin enough skin.

I suppose you'd rather the show was about minorities who deal drugs and kill people like most crime dramas usually are.

Yeah, I would, actually. Considering the fact that minorities DO deal drugs and DO kill people.

Most of those people also play videogames, and watch movies, and eat nachos, etc.

The Star Tribune (Minneapolis newspaper) had an article in their early Sunday edition that commented on the CSI series from a legal prosecutors standpoint. They claim that the show is making it harder to prosecute defendents, because jurors are now demanding that evidence be presented in a high-tech and dramatic flair like on the TV show.

Scary thought that some Americans actually think that is the way that legal matters are handled. From what I've heard this episode didn't draw to much attention from anyone, but still people shouldn't be this influenced by a cheesy crime drama. :/

looks like Jack Thompson missed his chance to get into the Hollywood biz.

What? Nachos cause violent crime!? SUE NABISCO!

Furrys got pissed off at CSI too for their portrayal of people that dress like Animals and jerk off on each other.

At least that wasnt the plot of the Video game one.

[Yamazaki]

now that it watched it: this is probably the biggest piece of shit I ever seen in my life! even bigger shit than Ilsa, She-Wolf of the SS!

Unless it was about kids playing as Tifa a bit too much in FF7!

Anyone here seen that SVU episode about the GTA type game and the kid who killed that woman?

"What does 'L M A O' mean?"
"...laughing my ass off."
"You were LAUGHING AT A MURDER???"

Oh boy.

Unless the crooks in question were already decided to do this, and simply decided to follow the game (plot device) afterwards.

Still, it is a crummy game series.

[mregashu]

Ehh, it's CSI. I don't expect much. Personally, I've always thought it would be a better show if the detective wore a cape and had a big bat on his chest. Than the crap they are able to do would seem more feasible.

[Richter Belmount]

Wow these hollywood people are out to deliver a message about what video gamers are about , a true realistic and fine potrayal ( or just desperately looking for new material to put in their stupid show that will get attention/ ratings )
(insert mofoing duh here.)
A true potrayal

Hey now, I understand you're upsrt and all, but that's no reason to start dogging on Dyanne Thorne.

Mmmm... Ilsa...
