Slamdance Festival Loses More Entrants
In yet more displays of solidarity with the creator of Super Columbine Massacre RPG, additional Slamdance finalists have withdrawn. The incredibly creative Toblo, as well as the titles Once Upon a Time and Everyday Shooter have taken themselves out of consideration in protest of the Columbine game's removal from the competition. Only eight of the original 14 finalists are still in the competition, with several of those having gotten together to write a letter of protest to the contest's organizers. Danny Leddonne, creator of the Columbine title, has spoken with Ars Technica and Next Gen in recent days, and touches on both his controversial title and the hoopla that now surrounds it. Update: 01/10 20:21 GMT by Z : It doesn't end. Slamdance has now lost a sponsor over this.
Here's some other good ideas for video games:
Baby Massacre RPG - Steal and kill as many infants as possible. Start in a mall and work your way towards a daycare facility. Keep those babies quiet and look out for the authorities and the media!
Gangbanging Retards - As Gary the Retard you must stalk, rape and impregnate as many women as possible!
Virtual Car Accident - Engineer the most violent and destructive car accident possible in 3-D! The one who grosses out the emergency responders the most wins! Starting with just a little girl on a bicycle level your way up to a busload of nuns and a truck full of puppies!
Super War Profiteering 2006 - As head of Halliburton Inc. you must get lucrative government contracts and keep them. Overcharge as much as possible without getting caught and make sure to spin the media to keep the apathetic public uninterested! Featuring Dick Cheney, the Republican Party and Halliburton Inc.
Herd the Jews 1945 - As the head of a small concentration camp you must kill your Jews quietly and most importantly -- efficiently. Keep Hitler happy, and have an escape plan ready in case those pesky Allies come your way!
