That VT Shooting Game

140 words.

Two quick thoughts on the Virginia Tech shooting game that’s been in the news here almost constantly. First, based on the snippet of footage I saw on the local news last night (I have not visited or even looked for the actual site), it is an outrageous affront to the video game industry to call it a “video game.” What I saw might have been impressive back in 1979. Even putting aside the emotional blackmail component, the guy should not be paid anything because the game clearly sucks.

Second, the local news producers at WRIC may have soothed their collective consciences by declining to give out the URL of the site, but somebody might want to clue them in to a nifty thing called “Google.” You don’t need to know the exact URL or name of the sites anymore, Einsteins.
