To USA Hater,

Nice troll. I have been trolled. Will be trolled again. Here's a rational response anyway.

I may object to the content of a game, and am more than willing to criticise it for the choice of subject matter, as well as for the quality of the game. However, I am not willing to say that one doesn't have the right to make a game, or that a game should be banned. Their is a fine, but appreciable, difference between stating personal feeling and attempting to force everyone to abide by your opinion. I think that people should make what I believe to be the moral choice and not play games like this. I don't think I should physically or legally attempt to stop them from being made, or played. This applies to many games. For me, it applies to this VT game. For me, it also applies to Manhunt.

I believe that this is the general consensus among people both on this site and in the gaming community at large. It can, however, be difficult to express clearly.

I would be so sad if this guy's conscience won't bother him. If so, I would recommend him seeing a psychiatrist. I do understand that we should sometimes look on the brighter side of things but what he has done is, I believe, a reflection of how dense he is as a person.

Well now he's come out and said that he is a troll, and apprently is trolling the site. Come on guys, you're more clever than to fall for trolls, right?

You know, freedom of speech protects stuff like this.

True...BUT whose to say that someone wont do something because of your actions.....*wink wink*

Ryan seems like a sad, lonely little boy crying for attention. Ryan, get a girlfriend. That is if you could find anyone so desperate.

@USA Hater

Eheh, no, we aren't hypocrites, as we have no problem this guy made the game ,our problem is with the content.

@AngryAtThisSickPerson

Agreed. The maker of SCRPG at least is eloquent, and rather in-depth about his views. Even if the game was in "bad taste", he does make a pretty good point with it -- the point he was trying to make. His work definitely falls more into the category of art. The maker of VTech Rampage... he's just childish and immature, going for his 15 minutes of fame.

This guy is right on !

Your the same crowd that say games never killed anybody or influenced anybody and say shit about Jack Thompson then come out with this bullshit outrage, hypocrits.

The only possible good that I could see coming of this game, what he said, and the supposed ransom is that it could possibly be commentary about how much other media has tried to profit off of this tragedy by their constant reporting of the VT tragedy, instant finger pointing to games, or their quickness to judge. I'm not saying this is definite, but it could be a possibility although rather poorly executed, tasteless, and disgusting IMO. Even if this is what he was trying, he doesn't really seem to be succeeding. But then again, I could be wrong and it could just be someone that is very much demented and trying to be an attention whore and give off some sick message.

All in all, I'm not really in favor, out of favor, or neutral on what that demented kid has made a game from. I'm kind of undecided but lean strongly towards out of favor because it is getting attention based off of a horrible tragedy and he should be banned from Newgrounds and if it is possible in some sort of way, jailed. This is just atrocious that someone would do this.

My biggest problem is that this will tear down the gamer and game industry image another notch. As if we don't already have numerous parental organizations and politicians riding high off of making us look like violent people with no lives and sick in the head, then this idiots helps give them confirmation of that despite the fact we aren't all like that. It almost makes me want to smack him because my image as a gamer could potentially be ruined by this moron.

I'm sorry but this guy needs help...

not "quality", qualities.... darn this no edit button.

@BlueWolf72: Since it's known that he has refused to do interviews where they wouldn't pay him, it stands to reason that the interviews he has done were paid.

He is a game designer. Just not a very good one.

And I wish certain people on this forum would stop wishing him death. That's just childish.

I love how any idiot that can use BASIC or flash is a "GAme designer" to the media, as long as they made something offensive. When's the last time I heard anyhting about Child's Play on the news? Never. The last time I heard about 'dem evil videro gamers?
Ugh.

@kurisu

"My brother and I knew a kid like him. He would constantly taunt this one overweight girl on the bus over and over and over again,"

Ditto, only he was taunting this kid with "lol faggot" and kept trying to trip him. After a year of this, the kid snapped, grabbed him by the throat and slammed him into a locker. Right in front of the vice-principal...

Fortunately, the VP had heard complaints about the little shit, and while she gave the kid who snapped a lecture about controlling himself, she sentenced the brat to detention for a month, and weekly sessions with the school counselor.

We knew it wouldn't stop anything, because the brat was just doing it to get a rise out of people, but I think he kept his mouth shut within earshot for at least a few months.

Hmm...Unsettling.

@ Houston Dragon:

That's old news.

*looks closly at the picture* I... don't think that's a shadow. But yeah, he seems to be the type of person who no one liked, because he didn't want them to.

Every time I learn something more about this kid, the more obvious it becomes that he's just a jerk, out for attention whatever the cost.

I hope to God this follows him around for the rest of his life. I'd love to know what company would employ him after all this.

"i hope they skin the little bastard alive. i cant imagine how someone could be that cold, you dont laugh at murder."

Nice. Fight fire with fire! He's an insensitive, uncaring person - skin him alive!

Hey pot, this is kettle calling! You around?

so technically... for the majority of people, it's just another scenario. Though the majority of people aren't treating it like that.

i hope they skin the little bastard alive. i cant imagine how someone could be that cold, you dont laugh at murder.

Sujet: It's a shadow, but he DOES have the look of Adolf Hitler.

Is that a shadow, or a Hitler mustache?

I'm being serious by the way.

You are a worthless piece of shit who deserves much more than the negative criticism you are getting. I go to Virginia Tech and witnessed the aftermath of the events first hand. Really, there is not a word deplorable enough to call you. I have a feeling you will get yours in the end however.
