SL on TV again, sort of.

The TV show on cable's TNT, called Perception, recently featured an episode called Calidescope.  To quote the episode synopsis, "Pierce and Moretti venture into virtual reality to investigate the murder of a man who obsessively played a multiplayer online game, causing the line between reality and fantasy to blur even more for Pierce."

They used a lot of cheating, unlike the old CSI episodes which actually used footage of SL, they simply shot the actors on different sets as their "virtual selves."  They also brought up some of the common, pop psych issues about spending time and having relationships online.  Some of which have some merit, but others just seem to miss the point. But I'd make a small wager that someone involved with writing and shooting the episode spent a least a little while in SL.

If you like oddball crime shows and are a frequenter of SL, you might find this episode interesting.  I'm sure it will be available on demand someplace if you don't catch it during a broadcast, or with your DVR.

Hope you are having a great life, in or out of virtual reality.
