Secular Talk: Video Game Mimics Sandy Hook Massacre

[WhoIsNumberNone]

A game in which players reenact the tragic events of the Sandy Hook massacre has drawn the ire of many, including a mother of one of the victims.

Hearst Connecticut Newspapers reports that "The Slaying of Sandy Hook Elementary," video game "directs gamers to storm virtual classrooms with an AR-15 assault rifle in the same vein as Adam Lanza and displays a kill ratio at the end."

1. This is not a mainstream game...

It's a cheesy flash game. Which means that if the media wasn't blabbing about it, no one would know about it.

EDIT TO ADD:

Apparently, it's written to protest the actual violent acts, and to push for stricter gun restrictions. So, the wingers would HATE it.

2. I love commentators that blather about things they did precisely zero research on.

1. The game's author created it with a couple different modes, to illustrate how ineffective armed teachers would be, and another mode to show how ineffective the shooter would be, with a lethal, but non-gun weapon.
2. The xbox controller image preview is LITERALLY a 'it bleeds it leads' attention grabber, as this 'game' physically cannot be played on the xbox, PS, or Wii.

So, that was a waste of my time.

3. also about things they did precisely no experience in.

If they actually played the game, they would also experienced the other two modes. But no, doing actual research is time consuming and it's cheaper to be lazy.
