My first 30 minutes of game play was spent learning the modest controls of the game, and trying to figure out how to enter the cafeteria. The narrative of the game is very realistic in terms of the planning the morning of the attack I even remember the Marilyn Manson music being blamed for the motivation these teens had to conduct such a horrific attack. The game addressed that with an album by Marilyn Manson found in the basement while I was gathering all of the “gear” to conduct the attack. I did not get too far in the gameplay today as far as my first 30 minutes go however, the dialogue between the two main characters (the two attackers) was very realistic and brought me back to how I felt hearing this story the first time over a decade ago. I look forward to continuing the game tomorrow and hopefully getting somewhere as far as the actual gameplay is concerned. I must say that playing this game now I am filled with feelings of anger toward these young men who carried out this real life brutal attack against their peers. I can only imagine how playing this game at its release (closer to the tragedy) and what kind of emotions it would have invoked then. While the game itself is based on a very immoral act and I am guided through the game with one intention, that being to carry out the violent attack at Columbine, I find myself not wanting to play the game at all. Where in Grand Theft Auto for example I could commit acts similar if not worse than that of super columbine RPG all day I am having a hard time even allowing myself to play another 30 minutes of this game and the only reason I have come up with thus far is these events actually happened. The narratives, realness and authenticity, as well as remembering how I felt hearing this story in real life as it unfolded give me a very real sense of immorality and being forced in this game to carry out these attacks has left me with a feeling of disgust. So much so I am finding it hard to actually follow through with gameplay and plant the bombs in the cafeteria.
