After my third and final time playing the game i started feeling disturbed by the game and found it harder to play. During my second time I treated the game like anyother RPG just trying to level up, but the third time it hit me that im leveling up and killing kids at the same time. This really made me question how anyone could do what Eric and Dillon did at Columbine. I think the creator did a great job in showing how troubled the shooters were. He puts us all in their shows and shows them what they did, and by seeing that I do not think that anyone could realistically do what they did. So he showed quite well how troubled and screwed up in the head that Eric and Dillon were. I do not beleive that violent video games, violent music, or any other of these commonly used reasons for why Eric and Dillon carried out there actions can possibly be the real reason. They definately did not help them, but there are reasons that people snap, and a video game would not be that. I think that playing this video game educated me on what really happened at Columbine and what was going through the minds of Eric and Dillon. I think that this game should be played by everyone to remind people of this horrific event and educate people on wht really happened. And maybe that will stop people from blaming video games and marlyn manson for the childrens problems.

I agree wholeheartedly. If anything kids should be forced to play this game before going into high school, just so they can see that it was crap before, it's crap now, and it will be crap in the future; that they aren't alone in feeling alone.

And sometimes that can just help you.
