JFK Reloaded, a little-known game where you get to shoot JFK from the Texas Book Depository. It’s pretty fun because you get a ballistics report after the mission ends which shows you how well you did.
Since it’s almost impossible to pull off the shot(s) correctly, it’s cooler to just do wacky shit. B-)
Of course it’s a morally reprehensible pastime and to take pleasure in the life of a person is truly pathetic and blah blah blah, now get shooting and show off your best/weirdest kills. TD has the files on his fserv, so go fetch it and have some bloody-fun for a few minutes. £10 to someone who makes a triple-kill.
Arg this is kinda sad that they have games like this out but it happens. What console is it for (though i might not agree with this concept i’m still into all video games.) i’m guessing the comp?
But that is largely what history is about, trying to figure out what happened in the past. History becomes even more fun and exciting when there is this type of controversy since it forces you to go deeper to discover the facts and truth.
Ya i now (this school year) found a teacher who will go through explainations of history that can keep my attention! el woot! But this is one of those things that i never really caught intrest in…sorry
Actually, the main reason to study history is to LEARN FROM IT and avoid making the same mistakes again. But having fun is OK too.
However, I find this game, and all games that allow you to play as a criminal, to be distasteful and a bad influence. X(
:fungah: -Oh? Isn’t that what they do in Fantasy RPGs all the time? Taking stuff in houses, killing the badguys…?
>:( That’s different!
:fungah: -How so?
>:( It’s fantasy.
:fungah: -The morality is still twisted. The ‘heroes’ commit wrongful acts before they save the world and get all the fame. BREATH OF FIRE III itself points it out.
:0 Er… but at least you cannot cast spells in real life. You CAN pick up guns and shoot people.
Xelo. That’s the worst picture ever. How you managed to remove both the driver and the agent is beyond me, but you also didn’t even put the entrance line for the shots. congrats.
I didn’t say that discovering the past was the primary reason, I said it was a BIG PART of history. Also, I wouldn’t say that the primary reason is to learn from our mistakes. That is certainly an aspect of it, but I wouldn’t say that we study history solely to learn from the mistakes.
