Last impressions. I left off with Eric and Dylan being confronted by the police. I had chosen that they end their lives. What happens next is somewhat of a surprise. After learning about how the pair viewed society. How the rich, healthy and beautiful tell others what they should do and not do. We have Dylan it what appears to be Hell. Instead of the normal people we saw before all of the people resemble characters from the game “Doom”. Now it is more than just trying to avoid them as the characters are now going after Dylan.
Overall I believe the point of the game was not to glorify what Eric and Dylan did but to show a commentary of what the media at the time would have us believe. Playing “Doom”, watching movies like Natural Born Killers, listening to artists like Marilynn Manson, Nirvana, and Ramestien(sp) will lead one over the edge. I have played these games, watched these movies, listened to these artists and the thought of doing such acts have never entered my mind. Perhaps there is another reason besides the media influence that the pair had the drove them over the edge.
