"Tonight's #Elementary is about #ESports... and other things. Spoiler: There will be pwnage."

Previously on... remember Shinwell and his daughter?
I love the intensity @OfficialNelsan brings to Shinwell.
And his scenes with @LucyLiu are always so great.
Joan's tie game is fierce.
Yes, we really did shave @jonnyjlm's head. Yes, it's staying short for a while.
Welcome back, @GoatwhoreNOLA! We missed you.
I stumbled on a story of a gangmember stalking a girl like this in the news. It's not uncommon, sadly.
If I were Shinwell, I'd be tempted the same way he is.
When Hard G's have a cat, they name it Ghostface.
Much praise to @jonnyjlm for nailing " huitlacoche". Mmm, corn fungus.
Our Sherlock isn't the sort to use a gun, but he is the sort to bluff that he has one.
Personally I wanted Shinwell to run Lucien over with a car, but Rob D. came up with this much more subtle (and better) ending.
You try saying "stenosing tenosynovitis" on cue. @LucyLiu is the best.
This Sherlock speech about POV is direct from canon.
Okay, Shinwell, I get it. Peaceable life.
We don't get to show off Joan's Mandarin very often, but always nice when we have a chance.
Tonight's #Elementary is about #ESports... and other things. Spoiler: There will be pwnage.
O.G. Pwnzr is a bit old school, so he uses Pwnzer, which is super-dated.
I feel like IRL, if someone were murdered on a livestream, people would totally make a GIF out of it. People suck.
Most real streamers use pseudonyms and protect their privacy to varying degrees.
"Who brings a gun and a garden tool to commit a murder?" Good question Bell!
Retinal scanners really do still work once you're dead. Just FYI.
Fingerprints require an electrical signal, usually the body's charge, so you'd have to wire up the dead finger.
Hello Ando! @JamesKyson is so great. Love that we got him for Ng.
Some people call Trade Show Models "Booth Babes". They're the subject of some controversy in the gaming circuit.
A hakapik. Look it up. You do not want to get hit with a hakapik.
All this stuff about how you use a hakapik is real. Trivia: Hakapiks were invented in Norway.@NEofMN
#ESport tournies are bringing in increasingly large prize pools and get huge audiences online and in person.
What are you eating, Tendu?
The entire #Sealfie movement is a real thing.
I looked at a ton of #Sealfie's for this episode. Mostly young people from Nunavut defending their traditions.
You know the old saying: One Czech is coincidence... Two Czechs are a conspiracy! (I made that up)
I really like this Tendu kid. He's got a good heart. I hope nothing bad happens to him.
Carla knows that in real life, there's usually no Richard Gere.
If you see an athlete wearing branded gear, they're probably getting paid.
The Reverse Butterfly Effect is, um, a thing I made up.
I'm kind of proud of that speech.
Yep, Tendu is an awesome dude. Hurray Tendu!
We're blessed with great guest actors on #Elementary. Christine Taylor and @kathynajimy in the same scene? Lucky us!
For those keeping score, we've covered livestreaming, #eSports, hakapiks, #Sealfie, human trafficking. Still 30 minutes to go!
Oh, and stalking and arson.
This is our version of a car chase.
Tendu and Libena make a cute couple.
Just a reminder that @FCBayern beat @Arsenal 5-1. And that @writergeekrhw is now in control of this account. Suck it, @JeffreyPaulKing!
I originally titled it "Rekt IRL" but Rob D was worried folks wouldn't get it. So we spelled it out.
I'll be using a DVD & a time sheet, but hopefully I can synch up well. Better than when we have football delays anyway.
Here's the timing sheet for tonight's #Elementary in case anyone's wondering.
Vadrus Typhon is one of my Runequest characters, for those of you keeping score. A Sword of Humakt. @Chaosium_Inc
I've been wanting to do this specific murder for over a year. Finally found a story where it fit.
We originally tried to get a real life streamer to play O.G., but he has over a page of dialogue, so we needed an actor.
I've never been to the Javits Center, but I won a Javits Fellowship for grad school. Thanks Senator Javits!
Team Profine are all real pro gamers, including @nycfurby @DJNintendo17 Great guys!
@JKap415 was in the group scene too. Sadly, it all went by very fast. #TeamProfine
Wish we'd had more screen time for them. They did great, improiseved a bunch of gaming dialogue. But we ran out of time.
"Tendu" is named after my buddies @OKBJGM & @JoseMolinaTV's #TVWriting podcast: @ChildrenofTendu
"Tuchman" is a shout out to fellow #Alphas writer @EricTuchman
My dad once owned a 65 Mustang. He was a cool dude.
Those three-bladed hubcaps were supercool... except when I ran into one when I was 6.
The RCMP officer is named Montcalm. After my family's ancestral enemy.
For you Canadians keeping score, General James Wolfe is my distant uncle.

I've spent a lot of time in Canada, but never gotten to Nunuvut. Would love to some day. Closest I've gotten is Churchill.
How great are these real NYC locations. They add so much to the show.
Arsenal sucks! Go @FCBayern!
I now return control of this feed to @JeffreyPaulKing and @kwwheeler
Dear Inuit, I apologize for screwing up Inuk/Inuit and using Inuit(s) in tonight's #Elementary. I hope you still enjoy the episode.
Also messed up actor names in my live tweet. Sorry Kathy Najimy & Christine Taylor. You were both amazing! So blessed to have your talents
This episode was inspired by my love of online gaming, among other things. I played UO, DAoC, WOW, Hearthstone among others.
I watch a lot of Twitch and YouTube tutorials for the games I play. Which is part of what inspired this.
If you played WoW and ever got rekt by a Shadow Priest named Coldcomfort, that was me. You're welcome.
If you played DAoC on Lancelot server, I was the Hib Champion named Caradoc who kept snaring you and backstabbing you.
Another great directing job from @john_polson
