content: It's common to see oscopes cameo in the backgrounds of movies, but has anyone ever noticed them in video games? I rather unexpectedly found these Tektronix' in GTA San Andreas hiding away in a military base.It makes me rather wish I owned them.

content: There is a pretty cool oscilloscope map in Fallout 3. I couldn't find a decent stand alone image. But this one works. I can't tell if it's modeled after any particular manufacturer though.

content: Oh Mojo I think you just proved my point lol. They're just as bad as us when it comes to this sort of stuff.Which language/dialect is that btw? No I can't read it but the characters somehow look sort of right but still sort of wrong iykwim.

content: Lester, a character in GTA V, has an oscilloscope in his house. It constantly displays a scrolling sine wave because that means science is happening.

Obviously didn't hold the tongue at the right angle. All the cool sciencey stuff has to involve a satellite in some way.
