TV Show "Life" reveals hidden secret in Prince of Persia:The Two Thrones

...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.

That was one of the dumbest things I've seen in a long time.

My guess is that it was a product placement ad for the game.

Why would they do product placement for a 2-year old game on a dead system (Xbox)?

This is just horrible writing and plot.

I love the show but that was kind of stupid. I wonder if the writers knew they were going on strike and snuck that in there as payback...

The acting in that video made me want to stab myself in the face with a hot poker.

I only watched the first 20 minutes of Life S01 E01 and I couldn't finish it. It was soooooo boring. I only started watching it because someone likened the main character to House from House, M.D. After watching it, they're really not alike at all.

Is this that show starring Winters from BoB? That looked like Boring Cop show 54 to me.
