Prince of Persia pÄ tv, typ.
En sak som Àr lite jobbigt med att veta saker Àr att andra mÀnniskor inte gör det. Detta leder till att nÀr saker man vet nÄgonting om tas upp i filmer, böcker och tv-serier sÄ har det gjorts om till ren idioti. Ett exempel Àr ju alla filmer om hackers som kommit nÄgonsin, typ.
Ett annat exempel Àr filmklippet ovan. Det Àr taget frÄn tv-serien Life och avsnittet handlar om ett par persier som misstÀnks sÀlja knark men polisen kan ingenting göra eftersom dom inte har nÄgra bevis. Efter lite tÀnkande kommer dom dock fram till att en XBOX tydligen Àr en dator med spel pÄ hÄrddisken och att det dÀrför Àr logiskt att knarksÀljarna dessutom installerat Excel pÄ den och gömt ett kundregister dÀr.
Problemet Àr bara att man mÄste klara 10 banor av Prince of Persia innan Excel startas. Poliserna har dock riktig tur och det finns det en kille pÄ kontoret som Àr 30 Är gammal och fortfarande bor hemma hos Mamma, dvs en typiskt tv-spelare, och han bör dÀrför kunna fixa fram listan.
Ăh, gaygamer beskriver hela scenariet rĂ€tt bra och jag hĂ„ller med till 100%:
This footage was taken from the most recent episode of Life; the episode follows the investigation around what appears to be a hate crime against some Persian college students and then it’s revealed that (dun dun DAH) they were selling drugs. Apparently, for some reason, one of the drug dealers kept his records hidden in a drug-addled modified version of Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones (presumably this game was used because of the Middle Eastern victims).
Now, here’s the funny part: in order to access the Excel files containing all the records of drug-trafficking and cash locations, it seems that players have to reach “level 10″. One would think keeping such information on a separate flash drive or something similar would make more sense in case one needed speedy access, but whatever. Anyway, the police figure this out through some bizarre leap of logic, and then it turns out that computer technician in the department really sucks at the game (which is apparently so exciting that an entire crowd forms around him to cheer him on as he plays). The drug dealer’s sister, though, is seen watching and playing along on an invisible controller, so she’s led into the room and proceeds to whoop ass as The Prince and his counterpart.
The only good thing about this video sequence? It shows that women can be better gamers than men. Everything else in this bit is just idiotic. I was especially insulted by the fact that the technician bragged about how he could beat the game because he still lived with his mother and owned a Captain Kirk costume.
I seriously hope Ubisoft didn’t give their approval for the game to be misrepresented this way and sues the crap out of the show’s producers.
