V-Tech Rampage - The Virginia Tech Video Game
Following 2005’s notorious Super Columbine Massacre RPG, the Virginia Tech shootings have been turned into a flash video game.
V-Tech Rampage, which promises “three levels of stealth and murder”, was uploaded to the flash website Newgrounds.com at the weekend by a user known by the alias ‘Pigpen‘. It puts the player in the role of Seung-Hui Cho, who slew 32 of his fellow students at Virginia Tech university on 16 April, and controversially recreates the tragedy in the style of a simple shoot-’em-up game.
The opening sequence of V-Tech Rampage
Reaction to the game has been mixed, with most reviewers on the website critical of what they see as an exercise in bad taste, but a handful reluctantly praising Pigpen’s “balls”. Several more admitted that they enjoyed the game itself despite having serious reservations about the subject matter.
One reviewer commented: “I’m a student at Virginia Tech and when I saw this, V-Tech Rampage, I thought maybe you killed Cho so it wouldn’t be QUITE as bad. But after actually playing, it is awful. You are a very, very sick person. You are barely any better than Cho.”
When Super Columbine Massacre RPG came out last year, the general response from the gaming community (such as it is) was to defend what was seen as an important principle: the right of games as a medium to portray whatever they choose, and not be seen automatically as toys and by extension a means of corrupting children with inappropriate content.
Many felt that SCMRPG was a childish and tasteless stunt, but when the game was dropped from the Slamdance festival line-up several other games makers pulled out in protest at a perceived threat to freedom of speech.
But V-Tech Rampage is a different kettle of fish. Firstly, the timing is far less sensitive - SCMRPG waited six years after the tragedy it portrayed (longer, let’s remember, than United 93, the first cinematic treatment of the World Trade Center attacks), V-Tech less than a month. Which suggests that Pigpen is motivated primarily by getting his name in the limelight and The Daily Mail’s letters page (or whatever the US equivalent is).
Second, V-Tech isn’t original. SCMRPG had a few important if somewhat trite things to say about desensitisation and the portrayal of violence; V-Tech is just a childish swipe at right-wing commentators who claimed the shootings were caused by excessive video game consumption.
Finally, V-Tech isn’t terribly good. As Kotaku puts it: “Free speech and free expression are great. Just make sure you’ve got something to say.”

Virginia Tech Celebrates Graduation in Wake of Tragedy

Graduate student Wirot Juwanuwong has his photograph taken in his graduation gown at the memorial for the slain students in front of Burruss Hall.
Graduate student Wirot Juwanuwong has his photograph taken in his graduation gown at the memorial for the slain students in front of Burruss Hall.
BLACKSBURG, Va. — The image most people have of Kevin Sterne is harrowing: a photo showing a tourniquet wrapped around his wounded leg as rescue workers rushed him out of Virginia Tech’s Norris Hall.
But on Saturday, there was a new image of the 22-year-old former Eagle Scout from Eighty-four, Pa. He was jubilant and full of life as he limped across the stage at the university’s Cassell Coliseum using a crutch and displaying a grin to accept his degree in electrical engineering.
The crowd rose to its feet and cheered Sterne in one of the most poignant and touching moments of the Saturday morning commencement ceremony at the College of Engineering.
It was one of several campus ceremonies in which individual colleges and departments handed out diplomas to students, including posthumous degrees to those killed in the April 16 attack at a dormitory and classroom building.
The College of Engineering was hit particularly hard, with 11 students and three professors killed in the shooting.
Engineering Dean Richard Benson was overwhelmed with emotion, his voice breaking at times, as he spoke about the slain.
“Forgive me,” Benson said quietly as he paused to collect himself while commemorating professor Kevin Granata, who was shot in a hallway as he tried to save students during the rampage in which 33 people were killed, including the student gunman.
The widow of G.V. Loganathan accepted a teaching award in honor of her husband, a man Benson said students fondly regarded as the best professor they ever had, the kindest person they ever met and incredibly wise.
Another slain professor, Dr. Liviu Librescu, a Holocaust survivor, was remembered by the dean for his “profound courage” in blocking his classroom door so his students could escape out the windows. He was among those killed by Seung-Hui Cho, who later took his own life.
At an English department ceremony, nearly all of the 135 graduating students and many faculty members stood when asked if they knew someone killed or injured in the shooting spree. The crowd of several hundred rose and applauded loudly as posthumous degrees were awarded to sophomore Ross Abdallah Alameddine and senior Ryan Clark. Clark was one of two students killed in a dormitory before the gunman moved to the classroom building.
English professor Nikki Giovanni read “We are Virginia Tech,” a poem she penned hours after the rampage that infused a campus convocation with strength the day after the shootings.
She was inspired, she said Saturday, by the desire to convey that “what we do is more important than what is done to us.”
The individual school ceremonies continued the theme of striking a balance between celebration and sorrow that began with a university commencement event Friday night.
While one engineering student’s mortarboard read “This 2 shall pass,” and one bore the name of victim Jarrett Lane, another graduate’s said “4 HIRE.” Students tossed around an inflatable beach ball and booed when it was confiscated.
Faces were somber as the dean commemorated the dead, but graduates broke out in cheers and tossed their mortarboards in the air as the ceremony concluded.
At the English department ceremony, department chairwoman Carolyn Rude said this year’s commencement could not leave behind the heart-rending events of a month ago, but she said tragedy can be used to heal.
“It does its best work within us if it enhances our resilience, our wisdom and our ability to care,” she said. “It finds its best expression in our will to honor the lives of those we have lost.”
