Game Over

Episode Number: 66    Season Num: 3    First Aired: Monday March 21, 2005    Prod Code: 318
An extreme skateboarder and videogame tester is found dead on a half-pipe platform used to program extreme skateboarding video games. The CSIs discover that he was wearing reflective sensors when he was killed, so the motion-capture device used to produce these videogames recorded the murder as it happened, but not the murderer. Now the team delves into the highly competitive world of videogame programmers and testers to find the killer.

Notes

add »
Caleigh says "you have 'A recipe for murder'". This Is Interesting because RECIPE FOR MURDER was the name of third season episode of C.S.I. Crime Scene Investigation that also guest starred Robert Mailhouse. This was possibly A deliberate act by the writers As A way of tying both episodes together. (edit)

Quotes

(Talking to Calleigh about the award cube)
Ron Benson: These cubes are classic Dave Strong. Builds a gym we're too busy to use, send flowers in our names to girlfriends we're too busy to see. How 'bout some raise and some time off, huh?
(edit)
(Calleigh pieces together the cube with an S logo)
Calleigh: Do you recognize it?
Ryan: Yeah, it's uh, Strong Studios. It's Dave Strong.
Calleigh: You say that like I'm supposed to know who it is.
(edit)
(Valera and Alexx notice a foul smell around the lab, Ryan comes along)
Alexx: Ryan you want to help me in the garage?
Ryan: Sure... mmm what's in the garage?
Alexx: Decomp. (edit)
(Ryan and Calleigh interrogate a suspect)
Game Tester: This job gives me a lot of tension, sometimes I mmm... self medicate, Ron's got the best weed, I snagged a blunt while he was in the men's room.
Ryan: That's an interesting defense. (edit)
(Alexx and Eric examine a victim missing a foot)
Alexx: Lots of old injuries, scaring, queloids...
Eric: Childhood abuse?
Alexx: Could be or could just be part the "Jackass Generation", and then there's what the accident did, his ear's almost shredded off.
Eric: Did you get a T.O.D. (Time Of Death) or do we need the foot for that too?
Alexx: Liver temp at the scene puts the boy's death at about 1am... and if you don't get out of here, you're going to be next... and find me that foot! (edit)

Trivia

add »
Goof: Jake Sullivan was recorded on the motion-sensor cameras when he was murdered. However, when they actually show what happened, he is not wearing the special suit that captures his movements, yet the camera was still able to pick out his moves. (edit)
