Makes me wonder if the author was just hanging out with his friend and talking about video games. Hell, when I was a cop, I'd tell people that Reno 911 was the most authentic cop show (and in a lot of ways, it was!) and that CSI was damn near science fiction. Though I've gotten a lot of drugs off of the street, arrested multiple child molesters, a couple of murderers, and kicked in the front door on a few raids, I'd hardly consider myself an expert on the matter.
