“The best school shooting experience an angsty little shit could ever experience.”
Liberty, freedom of speech, freedom of expression…we live in a world with an abundance of liberties but as Eleanor Roosevelt said, “with great freedom comes great responsibility.” The studio behind the video game, School Shooter: North American Tour 2012, could learn a bit of responsibility right about now as they are developing a Source mod that will allow players to employ the TEC-9 used by Eric Harris (Columbine shooter) and the akimbo pistols wielded by Seung-Hui Cho (Virginia Tech killer).
In the game, players step into the shoes of a “disgruntled student, fed up with something (we’re not exactly sure), and after researching multiple school shooting martyrs, he decides to become the best school shooter ever.” You kill the innocent students, teachers, and school workers and “what is more better than the ability to commit suicide at the end of your spree with a self-inflicted gun shot wound?”
The Escapist Magazine got a chance to sit down with the minds behind School Shooter: North American Tour 2012, and here is what he had to say:
“Some of my ideas stemmed from the fact that nobody has ever tried to create a proper game about a school shooting. Which is to say, something intended to be “entertainment,” rather than going for pure shock value or thought-provocation.”
And in regards to the actual shooting themselves he purports that the media blew the killing of the innocent students and “victimized the victims and overplayed the evil of the shooters. The fact of the matter is, I never knew any of the victims, or anybody else who attended the schools. It affected me as much as hearing about the quakes in Haiti. Which is to say, not very much at all.”
Needless to say this is some disturbing news, and while The Game Fanatics attempted to bring you a fairly unbiased report of the situation we will have a lot to say in a future editorial.
“Simply put, this shit will blow your motherfucking mind. Literally, you will shoot yourself in the head at the end of the game. Sorry for spoiling it, but what did you expect? You’re a spree killer, not a man.”
