Law and Order borrows from Second Life
In a recent episode entitled "Avatar" Law and Order: Special Victims Unit created a scenario in an MMO so close to Second Life it might as well have been.
In the episode a serial baddie stalks his victims using the a game called Alternate Youiverse, and creates an avatar based on his previous victims. While the majority of the episode seemed to be largely surrounding the tired themes of the dangers of the internet, not much was said about how the killer actually found his victims in real life, or why he chose one girl while impersonating one he had just killed. It appears that they largely relied on the smoke and mirrors that is the latest popularity in attacking online gaming to create an episode people would find interesting, rather than writing a tight plotline that just happened to use online gaming as a setting.
