Law & Order SVU “Intimidation Game” Air Date February 11, 2015 (9 PM ET/8C Wednesday NBC)

THE VIRTUAL WORLD BECOMES REALITY WHEN A VIDEO GAME CONVENTION TURNS INTO A CRIME SCENE


Video game developer Raina Punjabi (guest star Mouzam Makkar) solidifies the launch of her first game amid a stream of online insults, intimidation and death threats from the male-dominated gaming community. When a female employee is assaulted at a gamer convention, Detective Tutuola (Ice-T) investigates the crime but Raina refuses to delay the launch, and the cops must "level up" to protect her. Also starring Mariska Hargitay (Sgt. Olivia Benson), Kelli Giddish (Det. Amanda Rollins) and Peter Scanavino (Det. Dominick Carisi Jr.). Guest starring Peter Mark Kendall (Steven Kaplan), Susannah Flood (Sarah Keller) and Griffin Matthews (Leslie Connolly).

 

[Finale Fireworker]

Oh boy. Talk about mainstream.

I can't wait for the suspect to insist "actually, it's about ethics in games journalism."

Also, "sexually based crimes are considered especially heinous." Hear that, Gaters?

 

[mrmickfran]

It's gone too far.

 

[jon bones]

perfect.

hope they portray gamergaters as weird misognystic manchildren!

 

[Dog Problems]

I was waiting for this to happen. They often take real life events and base episodes around them.

....

 

[Soulflarz]

....

Uh

Yeah, thats a terrible line.

 

[Shauni]

Oh man, Ice T ain't going to stand for none of this nerd bully shit.

 

[Choomp]

uh.... hype?

 

[Trago]

I wonder how they will portray people in said gaming convention....

 

[GenericBadGuy]

....

Yeah I cringed pretty hard once I reached that.

 

[LiK]

it's about ethics

*DUN DUN*

 

[Piston Hyundai]

I'm sure they will handle this tastefully, much like they do everything else they rip from the headlines.

 

[Meffer]

Oh, this will be hilarious.

 

[Velcro Fly]

If Stabler was still on there I'd for sure watch it

I am a bit curious how everything will be portrayed though

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

Uh ok

 

[Deft Beck]

This is going to be a disaster.

 

[Spazznid]

You guys order some CRINGEls?

 

[Piston Hyundai]

I am a bit curious how everything will be portrayed though

 

[Hubb]

perfect.

hope they portray gamergaters as weird misognystic manchildren!

This is Law and Order. They'll most likely portray all gamers like that.

 

[Mushroomer25]

Oh boy. That's gonna be a fun evening on the internet.

 

[SliceSabre]

I wonder what the twist will be. There's always some kind of twist.

 

[jet1911]

and the cops must "level up" to protect her.

Haha. Level up. Haha.

 

[Corgi]

 

[LiK]

they should hire Adam Baldwin to play the GG guy

 

[Lionel Richie]

Holy crap I thought I got into a time void and it was the original Law & Order.

 

[Hoje0308]

Probably accurate.

 

[jon bones]

This is Law and Order. They'll most likely portray all gamers like that.

i'm sure lots of them will prove the show right with some real shitty tweets

 

[ActuallyHulk]

Can't wait for the NES era bleeps and bloops while they play Mario 3D World with an Xbox controller

 

[jim-jam bongs]

This is Law and Order. They'll most likely portray all gamers like that.

Uh Ice T is a huge gamer

 

[moondoggerr]

This will be MUST WATCH tv. There will be so much live tweeting of this event.

 

[Htown]

Uh

Yeah, thats a terrible line.

SVU video game episodes are the best

and by best I mean LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

any suspect related to video gaming will do shit like ignore a kid living under the stairs in favor of their virtual child, say shit like "Whoa, pause the game!" instead of "wait a minute" during an interrogation, taunt other characters by saying things like "bang bang you're dead" (what are you, six?)

my favorite part is this episode where they had a fake second life

one of the users had kidnapped a woman in real life, but his in-game avatar had a cabin by a replica of some lake, and so they figured out that if they could find the fake cabin in the game they could find the real one in real life

so get this, for some reason the developer couldn't just tell them where the cabin was, they had to change the time of day in the game world so they could see which direction the sun was rising from, so they could figure out where the cabin was in the game, and the dev hesitated to do it because "we've never done this before, you're about to freak out 2 million people" or some such nonsense

it was IMPRESSIVELY dumb

 

[Rebel Leader]

....

Are you fucking kidding me...

 

[JDSN]

They need a fedora british youtuber saying the treats arent real while Ice T points out how the subscription of his channel have increased considerably.

 

[RE_Player]

I love it. When SVU tackles these kinds of topics its hilariously bad.

 

[the_red_blade]

Oh yeah, every time gaming, or really any modern technology, is represented in these types of shows it goes over so well. Should be good for a laugh at least

 

[GamerJM]

Ice-T is still relevant?

 

[Aeana]

Can't wait for the NES era bleeps and bloops while they play Mario 3D World with an Xbox controller

That's not how it is when you play it?

 

[mgs2master2]

Haven't watched the show since detective stabler (spelling?) left the show. I guess this will be a good show to go back to

 

[jailbird20022]

*Kicks feet up*

can't wait to see the spin on this

 

[Spazznid]

Billy!?

 

[davepoobond]

Can't wait for the NES era bleeps and bloops while they play Mario 3D World with an Xbox controller

I can already guess the one liners

"Do they think this is a GAME?"

"Seems like this person going for a high... Score"

 

[Hubb]

Uh Ice T is a huge gamer

Ice T doesn't write the show. Maybe they wont, I'd just put my money on it. They are going for "drama" and they like as much attention as possible. That is why they constantly do their take on big cases that recently ending or are ongoing.

 

[Dictator93]

Hopefully this is not as accurate as the PC gaming talk on NCIS...

 

[SolidSnakex]

Uh Ice T is a huge gamer

It's not like he'll be writing the show. SVU has had gaming episodes before and they're always hilariously bad. That image posted in this thread is actually from one of those episodes

[TheSadRanger]

Uh Ice T is a huge gamer

Coco go gimme a snapple please

 

[Htown]

Hopefully this is not as accurate as the PC gaming talk on NCIS...

SVU might be worse

I'm not kidding

 

[Shauni]

Ice-T is still relevant?

You're right, Ice Cube is way more relevant. This should've been the plot to 237 Jump Street instead.

 

[Piston Hyundai]

They need a fedora british youtuber saying the treats arent real while Ice T points out how the subscription of his channel have increased considerably.

this is my last image reply, I promise

 

[ActuallyHulk]

That's not how it is when you play it?

No I use a PS4 controller with superior SNES sound quality
