Super Columbine 3
During my third gaming session I watched as all three of the bombs I placed failed to work. The boys moved to plan B and armed themselves with the guns and bombs. I walked through the school killing everyone, as that was my objective as described by the game. One thing I noticed to be odd was how, as the boys complained how they were made fun of, they had a stereotype nickname for each of their enemies. I did not finish playing the game, as I did not feel it necessary to play any longer than was required for the assignment.
I know that the creators of this game were trying to make a statement, but I cant really figure out what it is. I am not saying that I believe that this game or any game for that matter should be censored or made unavailable, I am simply saying that I personally feel that the game would be considered by some to be offensive, and would chose not to play.

Super Columbine 2
I forgot to save in the parking lot before I quit my first session so I had to start all over again. I found out that I missed a lot - When you go into the basement, after picking up the bombs, you can click on the pizza box and you see a flashback of the two boys exploding something at their school, and talking about getting guns. If you click on the TV the boys make a video recording explaining why they are doing this, and apologizing to their parents and friends. You can also pick up a Maralyn Manson CD in the corner where one of the boys states "I know they will find some way to blame this on him." When I got to the parking lot I realized that I forgot to get the items out of the trunk before entering the school. Unlike my entries expressing my joy to play GTA, I do have to admit that I feel that this game is in bad taste. I personally believe that this goes beyond the point that the creators were trying to get across, and flirts with disrespect for the families involved. Just the idea that outsiders can sit at their computers and recreate the horrible things that took place that day makes me a little uncomfortable. Im not going to say that playing this game is immoral, but feeling any sort of joy while playing this game could be cause for concern. I would compare this to playing a game where you live the life of Osama Bin Laden, and you are in control of high jacking a plane and flying it into the World Trade Towers.
I finally figured out where to plant both bombs, then I proceeded to go out to the park to load up with sawed off shotguns, a rifle, tech9, knives and bombs. I dont remember the exact dialog between the two boys as I have to exit the game everytime I want to come back to my post, but I remember being very disturbed while reading it. I feel like someone should have caught on to the fact that these two could be capable of such horrific acts.

Super Columbine Massacre 1
For the first five or so minutes of playing the game I honestly got the chills, I couldnt believe what I was participating in. I read up a little bit and later understood the purpose of the creation of this game was for outsiders to gain an understanding of the situation and events. I can honestly say that I have never taken part in a game where the goal was only to kill 'innocent' people. I quote innocent, because those who were bullies cant exactly be called innocent, but I personally do not put any responsibility for the actions on them. In the past I have been a victim of bullies in school, but I am a perfect example that perseverance and adversity make a person stronger. On to the actual playing of the game... The first thing I noticed was the KMFDM poster on the wall, for those of you who dont know, KMFDM is a Nazi German band and the letters stand for Kein Mitleid für Die Mehrheit (No pity for the majority). I played on and was disturbed by the KMFDM lyrics shown when the boys were in the car, I can definitely see how weak individuals who are put in a tough spot in their life could be susceptible to the real life meaning of these words. I continued to the parking lot and spent about 20 minutes trying to figure out how to get past the hall monitors and cameras to the cafeteria. Once reaching the cafeteria I couldnt figure out what to do next...
