It's on right now in my time zone, anyone else catch(ing) it?
I've never seen it before, but I usually don't watch TV, especially on Friday night. I noticed Chi was in it, and I saw him interviewed on a late night show and thought he was pretty cool so I thought I'd watch it while I was here.

It goes along just like any of the other crime/CSI type shows (which I think there are now more of than reality shows), and then the whole "twist" comes... the detective on the case recognizes the crime scene photos (the women are "setup" in poses) because he's seen them in a game before! It turns out the game is called Murder One: San Francisco and it's a total ripoff of GTA:SA. Only this game can be played online where you score points for killing people or if you play as a cop you can dust for prints and investigate crime scenes.

Anyway, some of the gamers hacked into the online portion of the game and added in explicit sex scenes, so the devs had their accounts banned. One of the high ranking players that was addicted to the game was banned for this reason and went crazy because he lost his online persona. He started to play the game "in real life!" :lol

M-M-M-Maybe! But it deals with games and how the media is using the controversy from GTA and the Hot Coffee "scandal". It's obvious the non-gamers will eat this up and agree games are turning us into killers.

I give it 1 months before its timeslot gets shifted around and fades away silently into oblivion.

You know, an actual game like that would rock. Something along the lines of 25 to Life, but with more of a police procedural angle. The battle of wits between criminal players trying to pull off the 'perfect' crime and law-enforcement types using forensics and investigative techniques to track down the perps and make the collar would be awesome if done right.

There was even a movie of Killer Instinct....not the game, but an "original" IP.

This may be a tad bit confusing to people.....Rare/Nintendo should've trademarked KI back then.
