After catching this yesterday I had to track it down and make sure it was here for posterity.

For those who didn't see it live, the panel was a presentation on Square's upcoming game, Murdered: Soul Suspect. The presentation from the devs was nothing special, mostly concept art and lots of talk about the "ghost world" and their philosophy behind the game. If anything it was a bit boring.

That all changed at the 39:00 minute mark. Someone had the wonderful idea of getting a retied FBI agent to be part of the panel and talk about his twenty odd years experience as an FBI profiler. Sure it might be related to the game somewhat, but things get pretty weird pretty quickly. Pretty soon he's making people count letters, talking about "sexual rapists," and explicating that a girl in Florida was not killed by a life-form from mars. Oh, and he's also on a TV show called "Killer Instinct."

The Q&A is also worth sticking around for. All in all, a truly bizarre viewing experience.

I really don't think it was that bad. Then again, I am into watching crime shows like FBI Files and like reading about criminology, so I'm probably biased. I think that the larger issue was that the host (Greg Miller?) seemed like he was a little too energetic and trying to force jokes that weren't there.

I read this thread as "FBI guy murdered at PAX".

Probably the most memorable of PAX talks this year, I tuned in and was so confused as to what was happening, and I had played the game. People must have tuned around the time he was presenting because everyone was asking how this was related to the game. It was amazing.

Me too.

@cbk486: Yeah he wasn't going nuts or anything, but at the time this was so bizarre out seemed out of context given his audience. Watching it on the stream, chat was having a pretty good laugh.
