Today I started off where I was last which the school hallways were. I went into the cafeteria and was forced to destroy things which made a bunch of fire. Then after a while there was a flash back. It was one of the killer’s past that took place in the cafeteria. He was talking about how he would always be alone and how he hated everyone. The music in the background had kind of a sad theme to it. I think this is because the game wants the player to experience what the main character was feeling and thinking on that day. However, I did not feel like he did. I just could not bring myself to imagine me in his shoes killing those people. I then got to a part in the game where one of the main characters may have had some regrets. It makes me wonder if maybe something in his head finally clicked. Unfortunately, his friend was still in that state of mind and peer pressured him back into their insane mind set. Just before this, he had another flash back. I believe it was about a time where he was in a school play. He was saying how at the cast party he was going to be left out and alone once again. I understand that he may have had a rough past but from what I’m getting from the game so far, nothing was extremely horrendous about it. He was just alone. Don’t get me wrong, I know that the effects of loneliness vary from person to person. That is another thing I do not understand. My question is: where were his parents and what did they do about this situation? This issue branches out in many directions depending on people’s view. From what the game is showing, he was just a kid that was struggling and to express to the world that he was he killed innocent people.

When I continued playing today I was shocked. I left off exiting the school and heading down to meet V. Then there was a scene where the two characters were trying to activate the bomb and they couldn’t so then they had to go inside the school. So I’m walking up the walkway and I ran into a person running and it brings me to a fight scene. It took me a few minutes to figure out that I have to kill that person. The reason it did was because I did not want to believe that this game was going to make me kill innocent people and I was extremely shocked when it was true. I quickly picked a weapon and got it over with. For the rest of the time I played I tried to avoid the running victims. I seriously felt sick when I had to kill them even though there was nothing graphic. I really do not like this game. If I had to compare this to GTA, I would say that this game is way more unethical. I cannot begin to explain how much I wanted to stop playing. It was that bad. I think what makes it worse was that the music in the game had a happy feel to it but the whole time I feel sick. It’s as if the game wanted me to feel like killing this people was the right thing to do, as if they were the enemies. I ended it earlier than I did yesterday cause I could not bear see more.

The game Super Columbine Massacre, I would have to say, has been kind of interesting so far. I have to admit, I was a little uncomfortable playing as the shooters because of the fact that this game was based off the real thing. I just did not feel ethically right. I eventually got over it and continued to play. I did not get very far in the game because I was having a few issues. It was a bit difficult to read the text so I was lost for most of the game. I was stuck for about 10 minutes trying to go down the hallway. Then I realized that I was supposed to hide myself for the cameras that were hanging on the walls; then I ran into more problems. When I got to the cafeteria I had no idea what I was supposed to do. I did a little research and finally figured out that I was supposed to do a few things in the basement before I left for the school. That is where I stopped. I am interested in knowing what happens in the game, but, at the same time I’m not. If it is anything like the real thing, I am going to be disappointed in the creators. Unless they are trying to portray a life lesson, recreating an event that is a very serious matter is just wrong, especially because there were children involved.
