Blogging the experience of gameplayhttps://www.gamelog.cl/gamers/GamerPage.php?idgamer=988https://www.gamelog.cl/logs/LogPage.php?Log_Id=3713What I found most appauling, just like others, is the fact that the game displays these characters as courageous for going through with this demonic and unjustful act. Its so hard to understand and it sickens me that what I am playing is based off of reallife. I believe that this game is a huge mockery to the lives lost and their families. As for the two killers- how do you think their families would deal with this? Its hard enough for me, someone who did not know anyone involved in this real life incident, to cope with the fact that it actually happened. I could never imagine having one of my loved ones lives put into a game just for others sick enjoyment. Not only does the game mock these lives, but I am sure it puts ideas into other kids heads on how to threaten their schools. Not only does the game show unjust acts I think it was a horrible idea that it was even created!Tue, 10 Mar 2009 17:54:24 CSThttps://www.gamelog.cl/logs/LogPage.php?Log_Id=3713&iddiary=6997https://www.gamelog.cl/logs/LogPage.php?Log_Id=3713I cannot figure out how to get past the hallway and the cafeteria. Does anyone know how to plant both the bombs and move on???? It is really bugging me because I have been trying for the past half hour and have gotten no where!!Tue, 10 Mar 2009 09:02:44 CSThttps://www.gamelog.cl/logs/LogPage.php?Log_Id=3713&iddiary=6954https://www.gamelog.cl/logs/LogPage.php?Log_Id=3713Honestly, this game freaked me out. I'm still only in the beginning part where they just get to the school. It is taking me forever to figure out how to get past the parking lot spot. The things that these kids say to eachother are so surreal. It's hard to forget that this game is based off of an actual day that ruined peoples lives. While I was in the basement I clicked on a pizza box and it brought me to a time where the two boys were talking about their futures. One was going to Arizona State and the other was joining the Marines. It showed the two kids at a more innocent stage and didn't portray them as the killers they turned out to be. It is weird to think that this game is based off of real lives. I also thought that the music was pretty intense towards the theme of the game. I dont know why but the music really made me think about how real this situation was and I am playing a game that pretty much mocks all the lives lost that day.Tue, 10 Mar 2009 08:34:59 CSThttps://www.gamelog.cl/logs/LogPage.php?Log_Id=3713&iddiary=6953https://www.gamelog.cl/logs/LogPage.php?Log_Id=3622When I started a new mission, I noticed that when you go to buy a gun, the gun seller ALWAYS says- don't mention where you got this okay? or you don't know me. This reminds of every movie how there is always a hidden gunseller who knows exactly what the person is doing with the gun, but will sell it to them anyways. In the last half hour that I played- I started a gang war. Gang members were running through the streets and it made me think about if this really does happen in real life. By the end, I took over the Ballas territory. This game has really made me think about how gangs act in real life. I obviously know that it is impossible to magically have all different types of guns appear in my hand- but are there some parts of the world that violence is just a regular thing in every day life. Are their people that are as corrupted as the player in this game? This game definitely puts into perspective how violence is occuring all the time. This game also shows how race has a lot to do with the gangs you are in. Yes, there are some mixed gangs but majority shows that each gang sticks within their own race. Also, woman are portrayed in a very whorish way. Most of the women walking through the streets are prostitutes- and it gives off the impression that areas like these are dirty and sluts are just walking around every where. This game brings up every stereotype out there. It also over stresses all these stereotypes as well. It is a very addicting and fun game, but it proves why kids can be so violent now a days. They learn from these videogames.Sun, 15 Feb 2009 18:50:26 CSThttps://www.gamelog.cl/logs/LogPage.php?Log_Id=3622&iddiary=6775https://www.gamelog.cl/logs/LogPage.php?Log_Id=3622My second time playing was mission 24-Gray imports. CJ had a run in with the cops and the cops made a good point. They were saying how they are happy with the fact that gangs are killing other gang members and making their jobs a whole lot easier because they are wiping the other gangs off the streets. Also, the cops tell him about the warehouses where Russians and Ballas are making gun deals and what not. The cops say to CJ that if he was smart he would be acting like them. When I (cj) goes to the warehouse, I go on a killing spree. This I think goes against the social contract theory in aspect to the game. The cops, who are the rule setters and the ones who lay down the law for others to abide, put me in a position to basically get myself in trouble but also help out the cops by making their job a little easier. How can others follow rules if the enforcers of the rules are looking to set people up to break them. This game promotes violence in every way possible. Also, this mission was showing how stereotypical people are- When cj busted the Russians, the russians were saying how dangerous America is and that they are never coming back. Also the cops were saying how the "ballas" are a lot smarter thang the gang members. The "ballas" are the ones making the real deals, while the gang bangers are still doing drive-bys.Sun, 15 Feb 2009 18:24:19 CSThttps://www.gamelog.cl/logs/LogPage.php?Log_Id=3622&iddiary=6773https://www.gamelog.cl/logs/LogPage.php?Log_Id=3622Although this game is fun and addicting to play, the game is completely unreal. It focuses more on the vices of people rather than on people having good virtues. While i was playing it, I noticed that any where you go you could get yourself into trouble- fighting, stealing, drugs, and many other corruptions. My first half hour of playing was Ryders mission. It started off with me getting a hair cut and then going to get something to eat. I think just on this whole missiong i killed like 15 people. Not only did i shoot down the man working in the pizza parlor but also several people on the street. This game just completely sets you up to get into as much trouble as possible. CJ and his friends go completely against the virtue theory because not one of them posess the qualities of a good characters. They are all drugdealing killers. Ryder, his "homie" went into the pizza parlor and tried to rob the place. Before robbing the place, Ryder and CJ were outside and Ryder was obviously smoking weed because the game made portrayed it that way. Ryders character is one with many vices and seems to have no morals what so ever.Sun, 15 Feb 2009 17:50:51 CSThttps://www.gamelog.cl/logs/LogPage.php?Log_Id=3622&iddiary=6771
