School Shooter: North American Tour 2012 was a first-person shooter modification for the video game Half-Life 2, in development by Checkerboarded Studios. It was removed from its mod hosting site in 2011. The weapons for the game were modeled after the ones used by Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold and Seung-Hui Cho. The game drew criticism from parents, educators, and law enforcement for its premise and its glorification of the school shootings in Columbine High School and Virginia Tech. Jack Thompson called for the game to be shut down. It had been described as "morally reprehensible" and "dangerous for the game industry as a whole." Interviewed by The Escapist, the project's lead developer, known as "Pawnstick", advocated legal restrictions against selling violent videogames to minors, saying that "video games have the potential to impact certain susceptible minds."<ref name=":0" /> The game was never completed and its official website went offline in late 2011.
