Drug Dealer hides files in console games

...Or at least he does in this video from some crappy American cop show. Police, baffled by the cryptic message "Farah Level 10" at a drug dealers house struggle to find the evidences we need.

Why is it Americans have to be handwalked through things in these shows? Ugh. Nevermind. I'm more concerned about the radical alterations to the game itself as it appears in the show.

 

Can I shoot the screenwriter or w/e? Plz.

 

Look at the emotion! You only get that sort of stuff in america.

 

Hey... Life is not a crappy cop show. It's (usually) awesome. I do agree that the "hiding the spreadsheets in a computer game" premise was pretty dire however.

 

I don't remember the spreadsheet level in POP but seriously I like that show but wtf, just go get some nerdy 15year old kid to show you how he hides his porn and bam 1000% better story.

 

so true lol a 15 year is very imaginative when it comes to hiding porn.

 

Joe has his hidden in various locations on Monkey Island.

 

I've done this, I do it to hide evidence of me being a terrorist from the police people.

So if anyone can get to level 31.5 on Halo 3, you'll find evidencial stuff!

 

man that black dude sucked at PoP.

And how the hell are you going to hack a retail game disk to cut out on level 10 to go to your hidden cache of illegal files?! Ghey.

 

Cos on this show, the games are stored on the hard drive

 

Whilst hacking a game to display a spreadsheet at level ten is highly improbable, games consoles are capable of having evidence hidden on them. I've analysed a few consoles myself, although (sadly) not in this way

 

Not that I want to watch it. But what TV show is it??

 

Why didn't they just load the save game?

Surely the guy would have saved the game near "level 10" so he could access his Excel spreadsheet quickly.

 

why didn't buddy just put his files on a flash drive and hide that from the computer illiterate morons.

 

Because that would be logical. Logic doesn't belong in a cop show.

 

Im 16, but in a hidden folder called onrop on my external HDD.

 

Even better think about every time someone wants to buy some dope he first has to play 10lvls of POP before he can sell something

 

lol that was bad. As everyone else said, plus, notice how the dealer unplugged and made the Xbox all nice and tidy ready to be picked up by the cops?

 

Strange, I don't recall that game having numbered levels separated by title screens straight ought of the 1980s. I must not be very observant.

 

It didn't they admitted to writing them over.
