The Columbine Massacre Rpg

[KarlosOmnis]

Recently i was reading through one of my games magazines, and i came across a link to a game by the name "Columbine Massacre RPG" (i won't post the link, but type it in google if you haven't seen this already, it'll take 2 seconds)
visited it, and was quite amazed at the educational value (right word?) this game had.
i was curious what other people thought of such a controversial subject being turned into 'entertainment'.
in our changing media, do you think this is a n acceptable method of bringing people's attention to world events?
would it be acceptable if a 9/11 game was produced? or a london bombing one?
i am curious as to what people actually think of these types of things, rather than relying in censi to tell you

'Oh my god! I never knew doing this was so fun!'

LOL. This isn't the best subject to make a game about, but dude. HA.

[KarlosOmnis]

Its not old news in the slightest, its only just been allowed into the mainstream, the guys who made this didn't jump into the developing seats as soon as they heard about it.
it was made april last year and has only just become common knowledge

I don't see how somone can take somthing that serious and turn it into an RPG game. I've researched the Columbine School Massacre with great depth.

Pfft, old.

I seen the game, it's pretty shitty. It's made only to get people pissed off.

"You Find a Marlyn Manson CD, you're filled with rage"

hah

I think they are late. That tsunami game here on NG was done within weeks of the tragedy.

Yeah, I've also researched it. Don't they think the actual parents/families of the victims will get upset, or what?? They're basically profiting off of their misery..

they made a movie on 9/11, Pearl Harbor, Normandy, Gettysburg, so I don't see why not.

It's been...more than a decade.

I hate how people say it's wrong to talk about Columbine in such a light manner but make Hitler jokes all the time.

DON'T TALK ABOUT IT IT'S A SENSETIVE SUBJECT

I wanna polay a tsunami game right now.

You Americans need to get over it.

Terrible things happen all over the world, but you only care when it happens to you cunts.

By the way, the game's overrated.

what he said, except for that "but you only care when it happens to you cunts" statement. I saw plenty of coverage on the tsunami and a lot of charities popping up. It was all over the place.

I've learnt that it's o.k to kill people and when you die, and go to hell, you meet doom charecters which you have to kill. FINAL FANTASY STYLE!

And?
Get over it makes you sound like a jackass by the way. In that case we should "Get Over" everything. Within a few hours, let's make some jokes about horrible events seconds after they happen.

LONDON BOMBING LOL OWNED!!!11oeno
NICK BERG
BLAH BLAH
TSUNAMI

Whether we're self centered or not it's still a horibble event, and just because the mojority of america rarely cares about anything doesn't make the attack any less tragic

And besides, they only cared about the white Americans who got killed in the Tsunami. The black people living there were just "props" I hate you guys.

what's this "hate" you have against "us" guys. Don't group me with Americans.

please

"you guys" implies that I'm part of the group, which I'm not (or at least, don't want to be).

you need to shut the fuck up and lose that typical "American assole" attitude. It's funny how you don't list your real location in your profile, where do you live so we can get a counter on you?

[General-Ivan]

Old news, i want the here and know.

Grow up. You live in america, get the fuck over it. When someone online says "You cunts hate blah blah..." You arent supposed to say "I dont want to live here, sniffle..", you are just supposed to tell the fucking truth. American do no wrong to other countries, but the other people arent smart enough to come up with real insults.

[Flameo-Ninja]

His REAL location?
I didn't even know we could put our location in our profile

[KarlosOmnis]

see this pisses me off, i ask questions that i want intelligent responses for and all i get is " lol this is old news, for an opinion on something it has to be posted 2 seconds after its occurence"
or "america>world; stfu , etc" fuck me, i think i got 2 decent replies out of this.
thanks. my attempt at bringing in some intelligence fails

[Zen444]

Am I winner at making unfunny events funny?

[Matt1010]

The game didn't educate me at all. I just shot people and than got bored. Probally why they shot themselves in the end... ALL RPGS GET OLD!

[Masculine]

Reminds me of Bedn's game about another tragedy.

America has a long history of supporting Democracy, such as in Chile (architecting the overthrow by Augusto Pinochet of the democratically elected but mildly socialist government of Salvador Allende);

In Colombia (American support of death squads who killed over three thousand);

In El Salvador (American support of death squads who killed many thousands),

In Iraq (American support of the regime of democrat Saddam Hussein, including providing him with biological weapons.)

8 Jun 1967

34 American servicemen are killed and 171 wounded when the highly-conspicuous U.S.S. Liberty is strafed twice in 75 minutes by Israeli fighters and torpedo boats.

The American spy ship happens to be sitting in international waters, 15 miles off the coast of Egypt, monitoring unfolding events of the Six Day War.

Israel soon labels the incident a regrettable "error," claiming that they did not realize it was an American ship.

For some reason, the United States pretends to accept this laughable explanation as well as a large restitution payment for the damage incurred by the vessel.
