Upon first starting Columbine I decided to avoid getting to the story line right away and I just poked around the characters room, I read the calender, looked at the arcade game, and played the music. It was interesting what I found in the room because a lot of the things that were found like the violent video games, and the eight bit Nirvana track was some of the stuff that people blamed for this occurance. So it was interesting to see the accuracy in this game. I also decided to try using the phone this ended up turning into a phone conversation with Dylan and him talking about how it was going to be the big day, and what people were gonna do when they were gone. It really made me realize that these kids really did have some crazy stuff going through their heads and it also made me start thinking about how many teens or even adults who like plan on commiting sucide have these thoughts about things. Even in my first ten to 15 minutes of playing I already was deep in thought. I also had a dance party to the rockin music on his stereo. HERE WE ARE NOW. ENTERTAIN US. Then I continued on....
I was forced to go into the basement to gather supplies I decided to walk over to the pizza box because that seemed the least harmful but I was brought to a cut scene of the boys playing with black powder and taking about how they loved to blow shit up. They gave more background on the characters about one going into the Marines , and one getting into Arizona State. It also seemed like it was disclosed that they were already planning something bad, and they seemed to think that violence and blowing shit up was just so cool. It was all very twisted.
I decided to continue for just a bit longer even though I already felt morally disturbed. I picked up some items in the basement like a duffle bag and the bombs and then I was joined by Dylan who was so excited about the day saying he "endured this shit long enough", agian the dialouge in the game is just really strange to read because these kids were so hell bent to do bad. They built bombs big enough to level the school, a long written out plan was found for the attack. Its just all so amazing to read. I went to the save screen because I was done for the night, something that tripped my mind was that I was called "young rebel", it was just another thing that just like sparked a "what?" with me. Unfortunatley I do not look forward to continuing the game but it will be an expirence nonetheless when I pick back up tomorrow.
