I have to say I find this game absolutely repugnant. I know there is supposed to be some kind of value in portraying the kid on kid violence that happens in schools in the context of a video game. I understand the argument that video games can make an issue more relevant to an audience because a video game is more immersive and thus has a more visceral impact on those playing the game. I realize that bullying is very topical at the moment and is frankly an very important issue, I was bullied as a kid in school so the reality of bullying in school is of particular interest to me. Nevertheless, depicting this profoundly tragic event as a poorly produced RPG/first person shooter video game goes way beyond the pale. I don't need a video game to make this event more topical or somehow more impactful. So much human suffering came at the hands of those two troubled boys that day the entire event is just so profoundly sad. I'm afraid that in the name of making some kind of so-called important social commentary or perhaps providing some kind of contrived insight into the minds of troubled teens the makers of this game simply succeeded in adding to the already unfathomable suffering of those who experienced intimately the horrors of that day at Columbine High School.

Began playing the game, have been introduced to the main characters, got my gear, have made it to the school and have made it into the cafeteria, but I can figure out how to plant the bombs
