Game log #3
I started once again where I left off. From the parking lot (where I had to save the game) I went to the cafeteria. Dylan wanted to cause more panic so he told Eric (me) to turn the fire alarms on. After I did the students started running around in panic more and it became harder for me to catch them and shoot them. After killing everyone in the café I went down the hallway were three janitors where guarding. It was around this time that there was a flash back of President Bill Clinton making an announcement that there was a mass shooting going on in the school and it was still happening and that he prays for everyone that they make it out safe. This kind of gave me a chill because it reminded me that this game was based on an event that actually happened. I also thought of how terrified the families of the students going there must have been when they heard this message.
After killing everyone in the hall I went into the girls’ bathroom where the guys mocked a group of girls until killing them all. Then after killing the boys in the bathroom and anyone left in the hall we went into the library. Dylan wants to kill all the jocks and people with white hats. At the computer table Eric has a flash back that was very sad to me. He is trying to call a girl named Brenda and he leaves her a message when she doesn’t pick up. He says how much he loves her and how he lied about his age but he was sorry and all he wants it her to forgive and be with him. This showed the players that these boys had feelings too and were not just crazy people. They had their heart broken and had nothing to live for. After this there is a poem I believe about how much he loves a girl and I think that this shows us how sensitive the shooters were. After this they continued to shoot people until they got by the window and saw the cops and shot at them. Then the game ask if “it is time to end it” or “shoot more shitheads.” I chose end it and so the boys killed themselves after having a few last words. The pictures seemed very graphic of the boys, though the bad graphic of the game made it hard to see, and the slide show of the students, friends, and families were very sad. I think this brought out an emotional feel for the players of the game. After the slideshow it goes to Dylan being in Hell, I believe. After killing a few people I died when confronted by an imp.
My overall impression of the game was that it was morally wrong to create a game like this, of a tragic event that happened, especially to add the graphic pictures of the boys’ bodies after shooting themselves in the heads. But on the other hand I kind of feel the game gave more emotion and explanations for the boys’ actions and gave up a deeper look on the boys, especially Eric.

Game log #2
My second time playing the game I started out in the parking lot after I planted the bombs. After going back to the car to get the duffel bags I went into the park or “rebels hill” to meet with Dylan (I believe that ids his name). There was moment shared between the two boys about how the day was going to go. They talked about the end and how everyone deserved to die. They also mentioned that it was kind of depressing. I defiantly think there was a reason the creator of the game put this in here. Almost to show that the boys were still only human and had feelings that maybe no one can understand and that they were not pure evil but they were hurt in some way.
After gearing up with guns we headed to the parking lot and waited for all the bombs to go off. When none did the boys became upset and just started killing the people in the parking lot. After letting one boy escape home (I really didn’t understand that part); perhaps the boy was the only one who treated them nicely. After I killed everyone in the parking lot we went back inside and stared to kill everyone in the class rooms and hall ways. Now I need to comment on how the kids were described. They were not given names but categories, and represented the categories in the way they dressed and acted to the attacks. For example, the church girl got on her knees and prayed unlike the jock boy whom attacked back. This made me wonder if during the actual shooting and students just stopped where they were and began to pray. This I believe is unethical to put in the game because it is almost like mocking what religious people would do during an attack and how they almost died in one attack.
In generally the game is immoral because it is a form of entertainment for people of an actual event that happened and hurt many people and an event where actual people lost their lives.

GameLog #1
I was told by everyone in the gaming pc lab that this was a horrible game, so right from the start I didn’t expect much from it. However it seems worst than what they said, it starts in the house of one of the guys. The game reminded me of the Pokémon games, only worst. It starts with me calling my friend to meet up at my house to get ready for the “big day” and then going to my basement to pack the bombs in duffel bags and waiting for my friend. Then we 0drive off to the school where I have to walk to the cafeteria unnoticed. I’m not sure if was just because I was new to the game, but it took me almost 20minutes alone to get to the café. After planting the bombs under the tables by the vending machines, I had to make my way back out of the school without being notice. This took my more than 20minutes, seeing that if I got busted I had to get back to the café to plant the bombs again. After I finally got out into the parking lot I was ready to meet my friend in the park to get the guns and prepare. This is where I ended the game.
First off, this is a terrible quality game, but on top of it the game is based off of something terrible. The columbine shooting was a tragedy that stuck the nation. To make a video game about it I believe irt immoral because many people died because of the actual event. Also, I believe the family members of those who were killed in the shooting would be outraged by a game on it. If I had lost a loved one in the columbine shooting and learned there was a game where someone can pretend to be the shooter I would be furious. I believe that the game itself is immoral because it is almost like making fun of a tragedy where many people lost their lives.
