Australian lets gamers pretend they're the shooter at Virginia Tech
Sick.
The game
Yeah, absolutely hilarious. Class.
The creator of V-Tech Rampage,a video game based on the shooting spree that left 33 people dead at Virginia Tech, is offering to pull the game off the Internet -- for a price.
Ryan Lambourn, the 21-year-old resident of Australia who created the game, offers a link to a website where those who are outraged by his efforts to make light of the murders can donate money to have it removed from a file-sharing site.
"If youre interested in getting this game deleted from newgrounds follow the link for more details," he writes. For $2,000 he says he'll delete the game. For another $1,000 he says he'll apologize, according to media reports.
Sick.
The game
The unemployed man said he created the game for "laughs" and that he had previously composed music relating to other events such as Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and the death of Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin last year.
He said the game was supposed to provide an insight into the killer's mindset.
"What he did was caused by something," he said.
"From what I do know about him, from his plays, from what he did to prepare for it, he's very human, fragile.
"From what I can tell he's probably having a hard home life."
Mr Lambourn said he would not take down the game under any circumstances, including if he received a request from the victims' families.
"I'm afraid not," he said, but added: "I hope they'd never do that."
"I've done offensive things before but they're not usually this popular," Lamourn said, adding that he made the game "because it's funny".
Lambourn, who grew up in the US, said his friends suggested putting up the ransom demand which he thought was "a hilarious idea".
Yeah, absolutely hilarious. Class.
