The play "First Person Shooter" debuts at the San Francisco Playhouse |
Ó
A play entitled "First Person Shooter", written by Aaron Loeb, is debuting at the San Francisco Playhouse. Those expecting a play defending our favorite pastime may be disappointed though.Loeb spoke about this play saying that "It would have been easy for me to write a screed defending video games" he then added that "That would have been a very dull play. Instead, I tried to chronicle what I'd seen, heard and experienced — and imagine how a conflict like this would play out."
The story involves a company named JetPack Games which produced an FPS called Megaton. Some time later, news regarding a shooting at an Illinois school comes out stating that 14 students are dead at the hands of a gunman - a Megaton expert. The main characters of the play are JetPakÂ’s CEO and a local farmer whose son was among the 14 victims.
This is a very sensitive topic because a lot of the affected families and communities are still, and perhaps will forever be hurting over the losses these school shootings have caused. There is no excuse for the deaths of the individuals in school shootings. You can put the blame on video games or on something else, but the fact of the matter is, the victims will never get their lives back. Perhaps the play will give some of those who are actively speaking against video games to re-asses the situation and give some more thought on their arguments. Remember for every finger you point, you'll have three pointing right back at you.

Huh. Coulda sworn the older public (being the demographic for plays) usually were against these games. Isn't this just preaching to the choir?
