Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

nice try!

If the game gets removed, it will be a fucking sad day for newgrounds.

And also just to add, he was never expecting people to pay the money to get it taken down.
He just made up the "ransom" to prove a point. Wich has been done.
Next time I'm in Sydney I'm going to buy this man a beer, maybe even two.

take it down
I just saw the story on the late news and i saw the newgrounds banner in a window behind the game window.
its giving newgrounds a bad name!

take it down >:(

They shouldn't play a game called 'V-Tech Rampage'

I don't think it's the game that does offend them, I think it comes down to the whole "pay me $2000" crap.

Thats it.
The guy makes a mockery of the deaths of 32 people (which has been done before, and on a larger scale, so this isnt some twisted sick one-off [which i'd have hoped it was]), THEN he tells us he'll take it away if we pay him- for making a mockery of 32 civilians killed by some psychopath.

He was just on the news here in Australia,

Apparently the "asking for money" thing was joke

and man, I know I ain't a piece of work,
but he is FUGLY.

A bad name? to whom? and do we really care about those people?
If you're stupid enough to go view something that offends you then, firstly, you shouldn't have an internet connection.
This reminds me of when Bedn's game was on the news. The one he made about
the guy who bombed some building in America.

How do you win?

There was a tragedy, funny, but a tragedy for people with no sense of humour. It was just a game, made by a happy little vegemite who chose to laugh instead of crying, and made others laugh as well.

The creator asked for money, and made more people cry, but the ones with a sense of humour laughed harder and harder again.

The Moral of the Story:
You can only be offended once, after that it's your problem!

Yes , it does have merits to it. The author spent a good amount of time to make it and it passed the NG voting process so it does have full rights to exist here . Besides, this flash is just as offensive and controversial as the typical NG stuff and it's only getting more attention because people keep bitching about it - if you take it down , you'd also have to take down the countless flashes making fun of 9/11 , Katrina , Columbine, celebrities , Saddam Hussein , and George W. Bush just because they hurt people's feelings.

The bottom line is , a good part of Newgrounds was built on controversial content ( Heck , Pico , FDA, and celebrity killing were extremely controversial for their time ) and if you start taking down these contents then Newgrounds is gonna suck.

So please, don't do it Ross. Don't cave in to these people. If they don't like the stupid flash , they can click the little "X" and NOT watch it.

Yeah i saw him on the news to.
As an Australian, and a 4channer, i can say these things about him
1 - hes a complete f-ckhole
2- hes a complete loser
3 - he is an ugly motherf-cker
4 - hes a minor celebrity on 4chan at the moment (mabye)
5 - hes still a virgin
6 - he lives with his parents
7 - he has a POS computer
8 - hes fat

i knew most of that when i played the game tho, cos it hinted at him bein a 4channer, which means he fills most of that criteria.

But yeah the movie should stay here, wouldnt be the first time a movie/game has gotten bad media attention on 4chan.
I quite enjoyed the game, the final level was hilarious, especially the things people say.

But yeah, im all for kicking him in the nuts, mostly because of his acne and terrible dirty sanchez moustache

Wooh, I didn't think this was such a big deal until a minute ago when I saw that this was the headline of the biggest newspaper in Sweden.. Just in case someone's interested :P

Maus, you rock. But I will donate 1000 dollars, sorry

keep it here,

this game may be offensive but it has every right to be on newgrounds. if you dont like it dont play it, but dont stifle other peoples creativity and expression.

NG is just pethatic.
You guys just love the game and that''s why NG is giving attention to bigpen

Personally i think the game is horrible, buts whats worse is the person who made it and how he is asking for money to remove the game, he obviously knows its unethical, this kid is a moron.

I say leave the game as evidence considering taking it off here isn't going to do anything anyways since this is the internet and I'm sure it has leaked to other sites.

Instead all of us who find this disgusting should donate at least one dollar towards a fund that will pay for a bounty to place on this kids ass, maybe then people will think twice before they make stupid shit like this game!!!!

WOW THAT IS the most hypocritical thing ever, you stupid mindless sheep.

why is this a topic? If it stays it'll die or it just won't exist either way it'll be gone eventually

Yeah if people are giving him money from their pockets to take it down, then that's stupid as hell. And just keep the damn game up. We have flashes making fun of other tragedies, even some with racial backlashes against all Arabs. Why not have a flash with an Asian who was bullied by white and black America killing them, even though the flash itself makes fun of Cho Seung AND the people that he was bullied by?

No time for double standards. Keep the thing up.

this is in news. its at the top of every forum. u cant lock it.

dumbass

If he takes it down oh well,
i'd like to have a more permanent copy of it and i personally don't see whats so bad about it,
You don't kill named targets or anything apart from the first victim.

Plenty of tragedys get mocked, live with it is my advice.

but while i don't think this game is incredible as a game, it's done something much different to what Super Columbine Massacre did, SCMRPG! is one of my favourite games,

overally i'd say it should stay.

Some of the people weighing in on this feel that we should pre-emptively take it down, especially in light of PiGPEN's attempt to profit from it.

Does this game have any merit, or is it strictly an exercise in poor taste? Are you offended by it? Did you enjoy playing it? Should it be taken down? What do you think?

Time for a bit of blatant honesty...... PiGPEN is a piece of shit for trying to profit off of this horrible event! He made the game for one reason, to make $$$ off of the murders of innocent people! The fact that he is willing to take it down if enough people pay him...... that's my proof that he's a piece of shit! He's not an animator who created something for fun or for its artistic value.

He did it to piss people off, and then hold his own creation hostage in exchange for cold, hard, fucking cash! That's what it boils down to. The game has no merit, but it's not strictly an exercise in poor taste. This is an exercise in making $$$!!!

Offended = Yes.
Enjoyed playing it = Fuck no!
Should it be taken down = Yes, and even the NG Assholes would probably agree.
What do I think?........ I think the piece of shit who created it is lucky I have no clue what he looks like or what his real name is...... And I mean that.
