About
Isometric RPG Bel-Air Crime Scene refers to an aerial photograph taken at a Bel-Air, California armed break-in crime scene showing two cops in the backyard pool patio who appear to be in an isometric RPG video game or The Sims due to the framing, angle and grid of the tiled floor. The photo was originally posted to Twitter / X in early September 2024 by the official account of local Los Angeles news outlet KTLA. The photo was then reedited by meme creators who inserted different video game exploitables.

ESPRIT DE CORPS [Easy: Success] - Somewhere in Jamrock North, a small wood shed behind Rozenkrantz Row, Lieutenant Nick Feuerbach puts his hand to the chest of a small corpse, no larger than a monkey.

The day is turning dim for Sergeant Mack Torson. Hand extended, he approaches. To make sure she *is* dead, more than anything else... ...and so all across Jamrock, Coal City, G.R.I.H.
