That's not exactly the same thing.
Ice-T - "So this cartoon character she's........your waifu?"
Anime nerd - "Ice-T Senpai you won't understand!"
The most non-fucked-up gaming reference I remember for one of these shows was a 1996 episode of OG Law & Order where the cops were interviewing a kid in a hospital and happened to notice someone had bought him a PSX and three games. Later at the station, one of them (the one that's not Lennie Briscoe) and the captain commented about this, naming Crash 1, accurately guessing someone was seriously investing in that kid based on an estimation that they'd bought him $400 to $500 worth of video games.
"I like to play games after work, usually to relax."
"Oh so you are a gamer... I watched an episode recently..."
It can be at times, but also at other times its one that is easily used by most people. People love to group things in, right or wrong. Hell, I've seen people call others alcoholics, whether in a joking manner or not because they like to go and drink after work.
People love to label things.
LOL thank you for that, desuuu~~~~.
He's been a successful TV drama actor, thrash metal singer and reality show star for years. Still going too, dunno where you're going with this.

Gasp! Almost like that time they dove into Second Life to see the real perverted world of the internet!

No seriously though, I laughed.
So this is, what, the 4th SVU episode revolving around video games and virtual worlds?
His metal band is so crazy.

Anyone remember the episode they did about the MMO, "Another Youniverse?"
The one where the parents chained their daughter to the radiator while they were showering their virtual child with gifts and praise? Yeah.
I don't even remember the series of events that lead them to that apartment, but boy do I remember the cheezy effects they used for the game.
Excuse me, I have to go take a shower.

This. I used to love SVU, but the whole Olivia loosing her mind shtick was played out five seasons ago. What made it interesting was the two of them playing straight man for the other.
If it's like all the other video game related episodes, it'll probably be someone leaving something similar to a Sarkessian talk, getting raped, and then the show will spend 25 minutes loosely explaining whatever their parallel to Gamergate is and how one overzealous member with a history with the victim used the seclusion of the talk to force them into a dark alley and so on and so forth. I bet we get a Milo parallel, a TB parallel, an Anita parallel and a random game dev parallel.
I love SVU, but procedural doesn't even begin to describe their formula now.
Yeah. I stopped watching when Anthony Anderson joined the show, because he is TERRIBLE. But now that he's gone, I might pop in more often.

Oh man. That episode of Criminal Minds was so ridiculous (and would probably still be if you removed the gaming aspect out of the equation.) There was also a part of the episode where the whole reason they got banned was because they decided to play a multiplayer mode still on the disc that was rendered inaccessible by the devs normally where there were "no rules" and it was "so hardcore" and whoever lost would get their account wiped.

Eh, they'll botch this somehow.

I wasn't going anywhere, I don't really follow TV shows at all and I hadn't heard of him in like over a decade so I was genuinely perplexed when I saw his name >_>

I LOVE Law & Order. The original, SVU and CI's first five seasons (CI being my favorite of the franchises) in particular are some of my favorite TV shows... well, ever.
That said.
This is going to be sooooooo bad. And a part of me can't wait to hear about it afterwards (probably won't catch it live unfortunately).
Maybe, maybe Ice-T can salvage it, buuuuuuuut:
....its going to end up bad particularly because of things like this.
Oh man.
EDIT:
I'm fine with Stabler still being gone. Bound to happen at some point, cast has to evolve.
I fugiin' miss CI though. Really wish the cast hasn't changed so much after season five; having no DA around for them to have to butt heads with made it weird to watch, amongst other things.

I bet the gamergate guys will be the initial suspects but then it turns out to be that coworker they interviewed in the beginning because that is how it goes in every episode.
You mean the guy who was her friend but then wasn't? :O

I'm actually wondering if they'll pull the whole no resolved ending thing and then link off to the official site so American can vote. Dick Wolf did this when he wanted to prove a point about the whole "can a husband rape his wife" case a handful of years ago.

Yep you must have seen a Law and Order episode before. Twist. She was bitterly jealous.

Him and Jeremy Sisto were pretty good in regular Law and Order
That's CSI. SVU has courtroom part in the 2nd half.
I think like the Fappening episode, GG will barely be related to the case.

Yup.
They'll arrest some dudes who were huge assholes online, scare them shitless in the police station and everyone will be sure it was them cause they're huge assholes, but then maybe during trial one of them will mention something and then the detectives will be lead to the victim's brother, sister, co-worker or boyfriend who was actually behind it all the whole time and was angry and bitter at her for something.
No episode is striaghtforward there's always a plotwist.

Agreed, I honestly wanted to se more of them, I thought they did pretty good there.
I still need to catch up on those seasons somewhere, only seen a few of those eps. -_-'
but what if this time the answer is straight forward? and those guys who were just giant fucking douches in the beginning were actually just giant fucking douches in the end that murdered someone because they didn't like what they were saying about that thing they enjoy?
Dick Wolf is a master storyteller.

Iono', sometimes they pull the "double-deke".
Make the person look guilty as fuck right off the bat.
They mention something, OMG THE TWIST it was that other person they thought was innocent!
They go HAM getting the other person, get em behind bars, case closed.
"Wait, what did he say?" (this can also be substituted with "wait, look at that part of the security video again!")
Turns out it was the first person after all, and he damn near got away.

Certainly possible, but the vast majority of Law and Order episodes usually aren't all that straightforward with who actually did the crime sometimes shit gets overly convoluted.
Like one where they thought the wife murdered her rich husband, but then it turns out wife was cheating and they decided the boyfriend did it, but then it turns out he was connected somehow to a contract killer and they thought the contract killer plotted the murder then it turned out in the end the murdered husband actually plotted his own murder and tried to set it up so that it was pinned on his wife.
I laughed.

Is Ice-T, given the fact that he loves games, gonna be the star of this episode and be the hero we deserve?

Hmm, on one hand, SVU is going to immediately reach for the bottom of the barrel in terms of the worst, most regressive and anti-social gamer stereotypes.
On the other hand, gamergate is the worst, most regressive and anti-social gamer stereotypes made manifest.
