Synopsis

A look into the controversial video game "Super Columbine Massacre RPG!". The game's reenactment of the nation's most infamous school shootings instantly provoked more debate and discussion than any game in recent years. Media pundits pointed to it countless times as an example of a society gone off the rails. However, many failed to recognize that Super Columbine is more than a violent impulse fantasy. In fact, some who have taken the time to play it have found Super Columbine to be therapeutic and even life changing. Here, we are asked to reconsider games as more than just play and to grapple with the question of which subjects are suitable for interactive experiences.
