>Black guy playing Doom 3
>His friend interrupts him and he dies
>"SHIT THANKS JUSTIN, I HAD 50,000 AND INFINITE BLOOD SUPPLY!"
Why do movies and tv shows always fuck up vidya shit and act like we're still playing for points like it's the 1970's?
>Somebody playing a modern game
>Atari sound effects coming from the game
because it triggers sperglords like you and gets you to talk about it, which is free marketing

This is a tv show from 2005 though. Exactly what "sperg marketing" were they expecting from a time when social media wasn't even a thing?
Licensing / copyright / whatever

Because it's about conveying an idea as quickly and easily as possible, so the most dimwitted audience member gets it.
You want the audience to know that the guy is slightly geeky and loves playing vidya? You better have him twitch like a fucking spastic while he's playing and having him say "I just need the last demon-key to defeat the cyber-dragon of doom!"
There, that explains it all. Even the dullest idiot gets what's going on.
If you have someone sitting with a blank expression on their face, with a controller in their hand and in total silence apart from some noises from the TV that could mean anything, then some people might not get it.
We all get that bleeps and boops means vidya.

T.V. knows their audience is a bunch of people who barely pay attention while drooling over their smartphones so they make it quick and easy to recognize whats happening so the watcher doesn't feel behind.
That's how they get and keep ratings. Why do you think the Kardashians are popular. People can just glance at the screen and see some bitch whining about something.

I remember seeing some random cunt playing War of the Monsters in a Steven Seagal flick

Hello 2010
It's done on purpose, writers are playing a game and constantly trying to one up each other. Last I heard the keyboard sharing hacking scene from NCIS was the reigning champ.

Writers do this intentionally because it goes over most people's heads and pisses off those it doesn't.
