Video games these days often try to do a lot of things to increase immersion and make the world feel more alive. These include things like physics on various objects in the world, having characters in the background hold conversations the player can overhear, and various other tidbits of reality that are put into the game. Sometimes, it even includes a TV with actual "shows" [http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2004/09/27/ the player can watch].
Line 46 ⟶ 47:
** The extranet terminals mostly give you galactic news and relatively normal ads, but you occasionally run across ads for [[Show Within a Show|a TV series starring Blasto, the first Hanar Spectre]].
* TVs in ''[[Beyond Good & Evil (video game)|Beyond Good and Evil]]'' broadcast propaganda from the Alpha Sections.
* ''[[Project Zomboid]]'' has both TV and radio broadcasts that your character can watch or listen to, as well as video tapes and CDs that drop in some locations. As well as acting as a source of exposition and adding to the game's rather bleak atmosphere (the news broadcasts in particular are a full-on [[Apocalyptic Log]]), watching the shows have an in-game effect on the player's [[Sanity Meter]].
