An anonymous tipster pointed me towards a blog post by Manveer Heir, a Virginia Tech alum, where he details his plans for developing a video game based on the fatal shootings that occurred in 2007.

In his blog, this poor, misguided fool writes,

"I wish to explore that feeling of togetherness and understanding of what it is like to go through the grieving process. I present my design, titled Bereavement in Blacksburg, and hope that it is a step in the right direction to expressing such feelings in an interactive medium. I fully admit these thoughts aren't fully fleshed out, even after I attempted to build this game for months, due to the difficulty with exploring these emotions and the scope that I felt it would take...

The game will incorporate a "grief score" which tracks how the player deals with others following the shootings."

Really? Really?

What are you thinking, man? I hope this design document stays in production limbo. A lot of my friends were personally affected by this atrocity, and I don't think they'd appreciate a game mocking their grief.
