Whaling Protest Game "Harpooned" Gets an Update

April 6, 2009 -

GamePolitics first reported on Harpooned: Japanese Cetacean Research Simulator more than a year ago.

The protest game, designed to raise public awareness of the fight against commercial whaling, has now received a 2009 update.

New features include

  • a Mac version
  • players can now capture protesters that get too close to the whaling vessel
  • online leaderboards

I missed the segment, but did catch the listener comments the next day. Sounds like it would have been a great segment.

We could always just start sinking the ships that went into international waters to harpoon a whale...lol!

Hope that it does some good.

 

Ironically enough, it's illegal to hunt whale in Oklahoma. It apparently used to happen a lot.

LOL

 

This just reminded me of local NPR station on April 1st reading letters about whale farming in Illinois.  So many people called to complain about the readers lack of emotion on the subject and how we should all go to Illinois and save these whales from being treated as such.

As for the game, it is a rather fun little shooter. I liked playing it. It does raise the issue as comments from ignorant people who never played it showed.

Hope for the best with the new release.

quiknkoldwas it StreamEez, or the StreamEez feature in Hauppauge Capture? cause I know Capture has alot more support from the devs.10/19/2014 - 3:54pm
Andrew EisenI actually tried StreamEez last week. Flat out didn't work.10/19/2014 - 3:53pm
quiknkoldI use the Hauppauge Capture software's StreamEez. Arcsoft showbiz for recording. I just streamed a few hours of Persona 4 Golden with zero problem using the program. Xsplit is finniky when it comes to Hauppauge10/19/2014 - 3:40pm
Andrew EisenTrying to capture console games and broadcast with Open Broadcaster System because I've had technical difficulties using XSplit 3 weeks in a row.10/19/2014 - 3:37pm

quiknkoldWhat Capture Card are you using, Andrew10/19/2014 - 3:26pm
quiknkoldI know Biddle isnt Kotaku. he's just a employee. Its up to Kotaku if they want to punish him for being a public representative of Kotaku...well...I wouldnt be against it.10/19/2014 - 3:26pm
Andrew EisenLovely, my capture card is not (yet) compatible with the broadcaster I want to use. Let's hope my workaround works!10/19/2014 - 3:19pm
Andrew EisenIf you find Biddle's statement off-putting, then you're certainly directing your distaste at the correct entity.10/19/2014 - 3:18pm
quiknkoldas somebody who once had his skull fractured behind a grocery store as a kid because I was a nerd. Sam Biddle can eff himself with barbwire10/19/2014 - 2:59pm
Matthew WilsonI dont agree with it, but that doesnt mean its not true sadly.10/19/2014 - 2:36pm
Andrew EisenWhich I find to be (in most cases) extraordinarily petty.10/19/2014 - 2:34pm
Matthew WilsonI get the joke andrew. In the social media age, if you say somthing stupid people will take it out on the company you work for.10/19/2014 - 2:30pm
Papa MidnightIt's Gawker. I'm not sure his comments can really do much to lower whatever modicum of perceived crediiblity that network of sites may have.10/19/2014 - 2:27pm
