Painful to watch, and not just because of the wrong facts and the stupidity of the whole scenario, playing trough a game every time you want to access some files..

I am also sad that Cpt. Winters sux0rz
But maybe this is some in-show advertising. it's a full 1 minute spot of PoP gameplay.. I wonder how much the game makers had to pay!!

This is one of the mnost shit-tastic clips I've ever watched. Worst part is the crazy mashing way they manipulate the controller, like we're seeing an early 80s Atari 2600 commercial.

Speaking as a game developer myself,
I can say this is EXACTLY how videogames work - we stuff a bunch of files onto a hard drive and if you beat the game then you can see the other files on the hard drive as well. Also upvote for use of papyrus font circa 1989

That was a stupid clip.

But, an xbox is a computer and you can manipulate what happens when you play a game. You can store files onto it, and program it to do what ever you want. You can modify it so that your car will fly on a racing game or the console will display a passcode when you get passed a certain level.

deedub: Yes, but you can also, well take the drive out, use dd to make a full digital copy of the whole thing to your desktop box, then grep/decrypt whatever the hell you want, linux even has FATX drivers for just such an occasion.

I suppose the real way does not look sexy on TV, but it's way sexier then this.

First, I'm proud to say that I don't know who Cpt. Winters is.

Second, a hot chick who loves video games...that confirms it-there is a God.

Third, do you really think the masses care or know whether this scenario is realistic?

Fourth, speaking of the writing strikers, just whisper "reality tv" in their ears and maybe they'll reconsider their position.

This is just standard fare for television. If any of you know anything about handling guns, you'd be just as appalled at every movie or TV show with guns. Last night I saw "No Country For Old Men" in the theatre, and I was really excited because they started off using guns correctly, showing actual intelligence and knowledge of how they work. I was really impressed because it never, ever happens. Then the guy went swimming with a pistol without a chambered round, and it fired as soon as he got out of the water.

I guess that guy needs to take back what he said. He can't beat the game because he's 30 years old, lives in his mother's basement, and has a Cpt. Kirk costume in his closet. He needs a girl to do his job.

OUCH! This was so horribly painful to watch I feel like gouging my own eyes out. I'm not even sure where to begin, but just from this clip I will make sure I never watch the show, I'll try to avoid any networks it's on, and I'll ensure my kids and hopefully their kids never watch it as well. Maybe if I happen to click past it at some point I'll even have to throw away my TV.

lol! just rewatched it and I only now noticed he's grabbing an XBOX to play on... true its in the tags, but its even worse than I thought. Its not even a standard pc on which they play to get to the files... its an XBOX. They hacked an XBOX...

<calls to Microsoft>
L: "Hallo Mickysoft?"
M: "Good day to you sir"
L: "I'm dutch, calling a Dutch phone number, why the English?"
M: "Excuse me?"
L: "Nevermind. ok I have a report to make, Cpt. Winters just hacked an XBOX and he let some girl play Prince of Persia until she reached level 10 which allowed her to access lowlevel Excel files and break the code. It's even said he has root-access now"
M: "Yeah, he does that..."
L: "He does that?"
M: "He's not called Major Dick Winters for nothing sir (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_D._Winters)"

My reference for this kind of nonsense is the film called "Swordfish", with John Travolta and Hugh Jackman (and optionally Hale Berry). I've not resisted to sift some scene of this jewel of nerd-fest ( http://www.videosift.com/video/Now-Thats-How-to-do-Computer-Programming ).

It's huge

(Note : Is putting a link to one of my own sift is considered as self-linking ? BTW, I've removed the URL leading to my sift, even if i'm not the one who posted it on youtube ... Oh man ... I get confused. It's time to go to bed ...)

(Note about the note : Well, it seems that it is allowed linking to one of my own sift, so I put back the link)

Well, you may be proud if you like, but you happen to have missed out on what might be the best television series ever made, namely "Band Of Brothers". Please try to erase from memory any faces you saw in this clip, and pick up the DVD-set. Its awesome.

Much like that girl, I have learned to play every video game I've ever encountered by watching the screen and praacticing my hand & finger movements accordingly.

None of you have ever done this?

And, good question, how the fuck DID they know to get to level 10? The Google must have told them.

Appearently he:
A) Managed to bitpatch PoP to launch other software, or even more ridiculous, make it read documents.
B) Can launch unsigned code on his box, which in itself though, isn't that unimaginable, but he obviously has access to an XDK.
Anyways, good stuff.

Same goes for puter games.....one day, you will have developed such acute motor skills with the thumbs, and unsurpassed hand-eye coordination, that you will be a valuable addition to the Matrix....and have something of unparalleled value, to share with your children, as you sit on the sweat-soaked, ass-shaped, couch, and create a lasting and meaningful relationship.......where's the unabomber when ya need him????
