Law & Order: SVU is so far inferior to the original Law & Order series it's not even funny. But that clip reaches well below even my slight expectations. Wow.

SVU is my favorite television show.

Also, yeah it's a hilariously corny presentation but honestly this isn't too far off reality for several people I've met. :p

Where was the Mountain Dew?

They were gonna put them in, but they couldn't find a way to let the audience know that the 20 two-liter bottles in the corner were actually full of piss.

For the record, I can't think of a single SVU episode that portrayed gamers or gaming in a positive light (and I've actually seen most of them). But that was easily the most accurate and flattering portrayal yet.

Or the exact opposite of that anyway. Not sure what their writers have against games to be honest.

It is more a reflection of what their target demographic think/want to think about gamers.

i was actually going to post first on this, but I had trouble with Youtube. I always notice how in TV shows when gamers are playing games they always say I was on Level (insert number here).

When the hell was the last time that a real gamer identified levels of a game by numbers? That's seriously outdated and TV shows constantly use it.

Well now.
lol


You people don't even know. I was raped by my fat video game loving father a million times. I vomit whenever I see a pizza crust and when I read about Harry Potter living under the stairs I sooooo empathize with that. This is a real problem and I credit the poor young Rose for her courage.

You guys should follow Ice T on Twitter. He's on SVU (relevant to this topic), he's a gamer (voice is gonna be in Gears 3), he's "gangsta" (his words) and hilariously honest.

ahahahahhahaha I love it. I used to watch SVU every now and again solely for the pure Original-Gangster badassery that is Ice-T.

They moved SVU to new studios in Manhattan and I just saw a mouse in my dressing room.. I'm not scared of mice but....... Come on son!
Hahaha, seriously?! I must intern on this show.

While Law & Order: SVU does show a crock of :bou::bou::bou::bou: a lot of the time it's far more entertaining to me than the original, Trial by Jury, and Criminal Intent. The later also being a crock of :bou::bou::bou::bou:. The guy is so smart he figures everything out before the viewer is able to.

On a side note, did anyone else think of Joel Holmes when they were watching this?

SVU used to be my favorite as well. Though yeah, they've portrayed gamers in a bad light in a lot of episodes. It got a little too dramatic between the cast for my taste after a while so I quit watching. And haven't watched the original since that old guy was put in there. Much like Vinnie of Criminal Intent, he just "knew" things that were ridiculously convenient. Incidentally that's why I don't watch CSI: NY and NCIS. They both have a bad habit of writing in conveniences for the characters to figure things out in just the right way. Something I'd praise House for actually, since that show was actually based on being wrong. A lot. Until they're right. Or spending the whole episode being right but nobody believes. But enough of that tirade. I don't really watch TV at all anymore.. All my shows have taken similar paths. Bad writing or cancellations

Those gamers were just bad. If they were real gamers, they would have used killed that dragon with the kid.

Wow... just wow. If I had interest in watching this show before its certainly gone now. The graphics for that game were terrible. It looked like something off the Atari Jaguar or the CD-i but X-Box? seriously? They need better resources. :eep:
