Videogames cause murder (on Law & Order SVU tonight)

Video Preview

Sorry, I won't be watching this, these shows talk too much about rape and child molestation for my taste.

This episode seems to be based around people who met over a "second life" kind of game. Murder, statutory rape, and kidnapping apparently ensue, probably not in that order.

I'm just curious if the game plays the role of myspace in a "to catch a predator" story, or if "it's all the game's fault, it made me kill all those people"

I'm sure Jack Thompson will be watching, and tomorrow he'll come out with an announcement that he's going to get the game used in the show banned from sale, (even though it's a fictional game for legal purposes... but he won't figure that out) maybe if we're lucky he'll get them to quit making CSI games while he's at it.

Again, I won't be watching, but if someone else does, let us know if they treat our hobby with the respecti it deserves.

I saw this preview on Sunday Night Football, and facepalmed myself so hard, I almost broke my glasses.

I'll be killing little sisters instead of watching this.

Respect? The victim is dressed as a schoolgirl stripper.

Everyone in Second Life dresses as bananas, triangles, or Elvis. There's no schoolgirls in SL. pfft.

I saw this shit during football too, and I was quick to point out to all my buddies that gamers disassociate themselves from the Second Life crowd.

And yes, CSI did do an episode like that. My dumbass former manager once used that episode as argument that videogames cause real life violence.
I slapped my forehead and walked away.

I watch Law and Order SVU regularly and saw the previews for this at the end of last weeks show. They've already done the "GTA ripoff episode" so I'm curious to see how they portray the second life type crowd.

I love SVU, but like every other show on TV I fear they will depict gamers in a completely false light
