I prefer Bill Nye the Science Guy...but this is the animation thread

...So is anyone gonna give a straight answer?

people who prefer gouda over brie.

THOSE MONSTERS!


In serious, I classify things like this as "in poor taste" if there's actual malice intended and/or conveyed. This game sounds to me to be more like a physics simulator on a very common and almost mythical physics problem: the magic bullet. Not something that's insulting JFK's memory or something ridiculous like that.

Ostensibly, it's supposed to "prove" that Oswald was indeed the shooter from the warehouse like the official story is, by letting players make the shots and seeing if they can replicate the exact events. It has really nice bullet physics and you can trace the path of each individual shot to see how it ricochets and where it hits people.

In practice, people often shoot the driver of the limo so the it careens out of control and enjoy the lulz.

Eh, they're a bunch of Stop Having Fun Guys.

I mean, obviously I wouldn't walk up to JFK's wife and brag about how I got a perfect score on that game or anything like that, but sometimes I feel people get a little upset over nothing.

Okay DrPoo let me help you with that.

People are made of matter and not magic. The matter stays on the corpse and eventually decomposes/gets burned or whatever. Therefore, there is no reason why ghosts would exist.

Ghosts aren't real as far as we're aware of. Most ghost sightings are caused by: A. being in a creepy ass building. B. Ultralow or ultrahigh frequencies vibrating through those locations, causing your body to enact fight or flight/get creeped the fuck out. C. Humans being impressionable, easily confused, and controlled by a brain that LOVES lying to you.

But seriously. Call the health department.

FTFY. It sounds to me more like something in that room is causing problems, perhaps something toxic that should be removed ASAP.

It kinda is about the specific shooting incident, considering how you're scored based on how historically accurate you are. Of course, most people just use it to screw around with the ballistics, like you said.

I just had alot of fun with a really controversial assasination simulator.
It wasent really the target, dont really have opinions on presidents, but rather the ballistics.
That game was cool. Rather harsh though.

OH! JFK reloaded! Yeah that's fun to play with. Especially trying to do derpy things like making the convoy wreck itself or shooting Jackies hat off without killing her dead.

I need to see if I can find that again

I remember hearing about mods that add a crowd of bystanders or other zany things. If I ever get JFK Reloaded again, I should try to find some of those.

I found it generally pretty entertaining to mess around with the ballistics and things.
Then people told me I was being insensitive and such by having fun so I stopped.

Don't play in public. Problem solved!
