Harpooned Trailer

[kertaiandras]

All whale-hunting ships should burn ! Sea-Shepard and other whale protectors are heroes !

[kertaiandras]

1. Sea Shepard was a few 100 miles away from Nishiu Mare when it burnt down... It was a japanese hunger for money that burnt it down!

2. 1 japanese live is NOT more important than all the whales which are dissapearing in japanese (and other) stomachs...

[thesodathief]

were can i downloD newest version i want so bad!!!!

[eliaen]

It's a satire, but so well disguised that you really need to read and understand the sarcastic tone in the headlines.

[Joesolo13]

very accurate, the money cost by hitting the peaceful protesters is legal fees, not fines.

[secutor1414]

S**t game ! LONG LIVE SEA SHEPHERD !!!!!!!!!!!!

[stfergus608]

very good point made in this clip good work

[PolakSlovak]

"Hiroshima" for animals

[hollitz]

This game actually looks kinda fun. I don't think that's what they were going for ;/

[sevenkulqwerty]

How can so many people can be fan of barbarity? Experiment hah?

[jakethemarinekid]

That comment was aimed at those who made and support the game ! LONG LIVE SEA SHEPHERD !!!!!!!!!!!!

[jakethemarinekid]

FUCKING DIE !

[oubliet1]

HAR-PWNED.

[DarkHarpuia]

"Research" Hurr, irony.

But really, good way of giving the message, even if it's a little too brutal |:

[manomanoman99]

the reason its gory is so people go

'Holy shit this is happening in real life! We have to stop this!"

[RTardEntertainment]

Its time we research babies!

[Cajaquarius]

When I think of all the krill those murderous whales destroy everyday it brings a tear to my eye to finally see a a group willing to fight for them. Just because they can't scream doesn't make their holocaust any more justifiable :,(

In all seriousness, an interesting way to make a political and moral point.

[LohGr0r0r]

In terms of biomass there's more krill on Earth than any other species. Fuck those greedy bastards. I'm with the whales.

[Chipmunkdavis4]

Yeah an aswesome game, short, but effective in message. Its cool the way its done in a serious manner, but sounds so stupid. More people should know about this.

HYPERSCIENTIFIC!

[StarJekker]

It's actually an effective way to research, because the whales can't run away if you research them like this... and seriously... if the numbers are decreasing, we need to kill more to find out why.

[gigagamer16]

its actually funny tha they put a reality ending into this game, i've played it and it ends in that you killed all the whales and there are none left all the whales are dead... THE END!

[RealNeurotiq]

I say, since nuking and being hot headed is American culture, we protect our culture by sinking those ships, or even better, since I am Portuguese's and Polynesian, and Irish (blooded) , I get other insane easily driven leos to do the job, it would be magic "ahhh we're dying help" as they sink into a bloody ocean they made, bittersweet huh?

[666ME666TAL666]

the sarcasm in this is quite funny, i hope this helps getting the message across to the people that the japanese have to be stopped

research my ass, they eat the poor whales :-(

[DaScatman]

Intolarent in many respects

[jformaldehydem]

There are some things that you should just not tolerate, whether they bear cultural significance or not.

[DaScatman]

Som racism is just peachy then?

[jformaldehydem]

now that all depends on how you define racism. The whales aren't going to come back just because we all understand and respect that whaling is an important part of Japanese culture.

[TotalHumiliationRC]

Mahaha, hilarious!

[michatube73]

lol i love the sarcastic style of this. 'commence research'.

[pubuman]

fuck, we should've nuked them back to the stone age when we had the chance back in 1945!

[YuzoTibi]

You are disgusting!

[pubuman]

No the people doing the killing (Japs) are! Moron!

[DaScatman]

You = Weeaboo

[llamanator3000]

boarding parties would have been fun to watch. I have to admit, ya gotta admire a group who actually DOES something about what they believe in. it's at least fun to watch. you guys have rammed a few ships though haven't ya?

[sirius774]

What are environmentalists and racist's difference?

[Jachra]

Game of the Month, right there.

Japan - Will stop whaling when it stops being fun!

[Badger887]

damn right nuke the whales :D

[Cezie2006]

I don't know what to make of this video. This video does represent the evil whaling fleet. Cruel evil basta-ds. SHAME ON YOU WHALERS. HELL IS TO GOOD A PLACE FOR YOU. ANYONE DO NOT LIKE THIS COMMENT, WELL F-CK YOU...

[SavealltheWhales]

I AGREE *POINTS AT USERNAME*

[kokokoara]

Sheshepard burnt the ship.

Do you know one Japanese died of a fire?

[m0n0RAIL]

Sea Shepherd were not near the Nisshin Maru when it caught fire.

[coops330]

Japanese harpooned the whale.

Do you know 1000's of whales died of a harpoon?

[victubex]

send it to the japanese authority :p

then they ban the website

then they know they do something illegal

[casmatt1]

thats sick :(

[grx20jb]

500 character comment limit.... seriously?

[grx20jb]

There have been thousands of years where only small numbers of whales have been taken, so why are more than a thousand of them being killed every year? They are mammalian, so they can't produce too many young?

No research, just questions.

[fruni1]

Whales must die so we eskimos can get blubber.

[grx20jb]

The Japanese side of the argument seems to be that the whales are reducing our foodstock, so they need to keep the numbers down. Why then are the whale species considered "vulnerable" and "endangered"? It's also funny that there are a lot of hints at kickbacks from anti-whaling groups... when the Japanese whaling is largely through government?

[grx20jb]

Someone wrote a message telling Australians to please not eat kangaroo...

Kangaroo numbers are HUGE, and farming them has no environmental impact on the country, whereas farming cattle and sheep DAMAGES the land. ie, it would be BETTER for the environment if we all ate kangaroo in Australia instead of beef.

[umetaro565]

クジラに対し愛情のかけらもないな、鯨神社までつくり感謝して食­べるのが日本人

やっぱ、おもしろ半分に動物殺してる輩は違うな

[ratboy414]

lol Whale hunting propaganda. I never understood this. Norway and other european nations hunt whales, yet you never hear anything about them. But when bad ol' mr.ethnic comes along and does it, they're evil. Give me a break.

[m0n0RAIL]

Norway and Iceland do not claim their whaling is for scientific purposes. Norway takes around 500 whales a year, Iceland 30, Japan almost 1000. Japan still kills endangered species.

[ibbotsoni]

graphics are a bit shit

[Frrrunkus]

As long as they're not endangered why should I care if they're made into pet food and whale burgers?

[Cannabiscloud]

Man, I want some whale burgers.

[dragonlancemaster32]

im so glad i watch attack of the show or else i would not know about this rediculoulsy awsome game

[RCycleRider4Eva]

This is disgusting.

[mk2mc]

And it supposed to be, the game intended to give you a glimpse of the current situation.

The real thing Japaneses do to those whales are much more disgusting.

[mokokisos]

クジラもこれだけ居るとやっぱり間引かないと

他の魚が絶滅しちゃうってことですね

勉強になりました！

[AoEHere]

鯨は、１日に２トンも食べるんだから、

①海に小魚を放流する

②鯨が増えすぎたら、避妊手術を施す

どちらも無理と書きました。

今のところ、反論はありませんね。

[doshoun]

Nice boat.

[ErickDamon]

Lol. They showed this on Attack of the Show today.

[bokudozaemon]

Makoto should die.

[ahoahomangreat]

nice bleeding effects.

it's better than Samurai Showdown. lol

[bigfatho]

go and make a game about all the endangered animals australia kills and eats then.

[JarrodLil]

lol, "Our research has produced... cans of pet food and... whale burgers". Whoever made game this has a good sense of humor.

[powansolie]

How come you lose points for taking out the protesters? I would think that would be bonus material.

[kaczurda]

I really wish the Japanese would stop. =/ I'm not against Japan or anything, I actually have cousins that live there - but what the whale hunters are doing is just plain wrong. :(

[Arkanite]

Funny that 'highly scientific research' actually means hunting.

You had me there for a second.

[mattchow]

i think i just got the highscore

[markyturner]

Why does this not play for me? It keeps stopping

[markyturner]

oops - ignore that, it works now

This is mindblowing

[GolerGkA]

It's very and very weird, how people are offended by the game more, then the real thing.

[AoEHere]

a NEW animation video about Whaling

(There is English title)

Interesting and good one!

watch?v=n4LPxdPYpoE

The report is operated always...

日本語もあるので見てね！ドラゴンボールが捕鯨を語ってるとても­良いビデオだよ！

[m0n0RAIL]

Interesting cartoon AoEHere, however there are a couple of mistakes.

Firstly, being against whaling does not make me against Japan - I like Japan, Japanese people and culture. I just don't like their whaling.

Secondly, environmental activists are not doing this for the money. Sea Shepherd are all volunteers, they do not get paid. I give my game away for free - I do not make any money from this. In fact, it costs me money to pay for the bandwidth to host the game.

[AoEHere]

I spend 3hour half for this text!!So tired.. lol

It's very difficult to reply in English.

(I didn't know the meaning of SPAM. And, I thought that the person who had written spam was dispirited, And then I pasted the text of spam many times instead. It was merely a well-intentioned intention. lol!!!) But I known little by little that text was bad meaning!)

I think that everybody thought I'm so crazy...oh no!

Those were big mistakes and I don't want to have mistakes any more.lol

[AoEHere]

I thought that I had to translate carefully.

I don't eat a whale.

Because the whale is too clever.

However, we need to control the number.

Because, a whale is big eater.

Small fish is decreasing sharply by it.

*A small fish is cultivated, and it discharges to the sea.

*If the number of whales increases too much, the whale does the contraception operation.

Those are impossible.

[AoEHere]

Almost all environmental activists is gentle.

However,several persons have actually diverted money.(I read a book)I surprised.

But it's true.

(I don't know about SSC, but I think they are a volunteer maybe.)

However, they are too excessive, and it's not from love.

[AoEHere]

I looked at the face of SSC people on TV.

I thought that they didn't have a fine heart and kind face.

I visit Australia last year and I stayed 40 days.

The people from Australia of Cairns or Ayers Rock had a kind face and the fine heart like a child.

I was so happy and I thought that they are wonderful people.

But SSC people had so different face with Australian.

[AoEHere]

*The most important thing should love.

*A problem should be solved by language.

*Require exact information to the IWC and the government.

Thank you for reading!

[m0n0RAIL]

Thank you for taking the time to write this reply AoEHere. I agree that we should try to solve this problem with discussion.

[AoEHere]

Yes! Thank you!

From now on, we became the sun of the earth! :D:D

[5p1ic3]

It's just a game about senseless violence. How is it any different than say...Grand Theft Auto. (Did the japanese even like the GTA series?) Anyway, my point is Americans love pointless violence...and this game is totally fake...and isn't truely hurting anyone. Don't enjoy it? Don't play it. Plain and simple. = )

[rafjuden]

Except it is correct, no research is being done.

[5p1ic3]

and praytell, what research is being done in Grand Theft Auto? The one on hookers and drugs?

[Stopmotionist]

Actually, the guy who made it is Irish. And the point is that it criticizes senseless violence, i.e. Japanese government-sponsored whaling.

[curshvid]

There's a serious point to it. Receptions like this, "it's just fun," are even worse than those of people who get the point and reject it.

[geargrinder7]

You sure are ignorant. Minkes eat a lot of fish. And even if some didn't do you know how the ecosystem works? If they eat krills, small fishes won't be able to get them. Then the larger fishes won't be able to get the smaller fish. You should take a break from your computer work for a while and educate yourself.

[lemonmin]

You completely left out the fact that WHALES HAVE A VERY SMALL NUMBER IN POPULATION, emphasis,bold,underlined, the number is so little that they have only a small effect on the ecosystem. Even so, whales don't multiply that rapidly, and calves are easy prey to predators. So yes i agree with the fact that animal populations have to be in check, but whale populations are already out of check, so there is no danger of whales eating too much krill and causing fish to die out.

[geargrinder7]

Nope try again. It can be easily calculated that whales are eating much more fish than the humans are taking combined. They also eat tons of krills which play an important part preventing global warming. The number of krills are decreasing at a fast pace. Global warming will affect everyone.

[m0n0RAIL]

I'm interested to see these 'easy calculations' which show that whales are eating more fish than humans. Please provide a link.

[geargrinder7]

Being a little lazy there aren't you. Try googling how much whales eat and compare to human consumption of fish. Or you can try reading scientific data from the IWC. You will hear some say they aren't eating the kinds of fish people are mostly fishing. But when you understand the ecosystem you will know they have no idea what they are talking about.

[m0n0RAIL]

You are right - Minke whales do eat some small fish.

Humans eat 80 million tonnes of fish a year. Minke whales eat 39.6 million tonnes of krill and small fish a year. Message me if you want the details of how I calculated this.

[lilhonki]

AoEHere san,

I am interested in the arguments that you are presenting here. Please do provide more information on the matter for if they are reasonable i would agree.

[AoEHere]

please chack this title of the youtube.

People profiting from the issue of Whaling

And there is English title at "about this video"

But, sorry, Japanese is very fast and Englidh title is not enought..

[pixelizr]

(translation of below comment for English speakers)

Nice to meet you!

I know it's not for all species of whale, but are you aware of the fact that whales are basically an endangered species? That is why people who are less informed would find your comment about the whale population growing too large unbelievable. If you like, I think your explaining this matter in more detail would be appreciated.　Where did you get this kind of information?

[pixelizr]

It's sad that pro-whalers have to make a video game for propeganda.

[KikiDaiso]

You obviously don't get satire.

[ishaidarharan]

is there a pro-whaling game somewhere, cause it's not this one? this should be an obvious lampoon directed at japan's

research."

[AoEHere]

And, not Japanese, I mean,,,

"Sea Shepherd" can no longer discriminate between terrorism and environmental activism.

I hope my English is right...

[thenewmco]

fuck the fucking japanese who kill innocent whales. I hope you all die

[m0n0RAIL]

It's good to see Japanese comments on the game. Please forward this on to your friends to spread the word about whaling.

【結果】

*鯨が増えすぎ、餌になる魚が激減してしまった

*テロ行為を判別できない市民をつくった

[muppetsausages]

上記は同意しないが、訳してあげよう。

Here's the translation of what AoEHere said. I don't agree with it at all, but he asked for it to be translated, so...

[muppetsausages]

"The real reason for bans placed against whaling:

*(The government) worries that tourism will decrease due to a fall-off in whale-watching.

*There's a certain government body living the high-life off contributions received for their non-whaling policies.

Even now, there's a lot of good but ignorant Japanese citizens getting bankrolled by these people.

[muppetsausages]

The result:

*The whale population will grow too large and fish usable for human consumption will drop rapidly.

*Japanese can no longer discriminate between terrorism and environmental activism."

[muppetsausages]

Now, my opinion: Yes, goddamn those whales! Multiply by the litters, they do! They'll eat all of our fish!

[m0n0RAIL]

Thank you for your translation muppetsausages.

[AoEHere]

SORRY, IF I HAVE MISTAKES IN ENGLISH

Thank you very much for your help, muppetsages.

But I'm afraid that my word was not enough for translation.

I mean, there are those who have usurped the donation.

It is in a whale protection organization.

When I read that at book, I couldn't believe it !

[AoEHere]

Well..OZ wants to keep Whale Watching as a big tourist attraction therefore they don't want Japan to hunt the whales near OZ.

Whales are increasing in number now.

And small fish is decreasing sharply. It is the food of a whale.

And if SS support anti-whaling policy and show the radical performance, they can get publicity and get more donation then SS will become rich. ( Some people are usurps money and is living a rich life. )

[m0n0RAIL]

AoEHere - I created Harpooned. I am Irish, not Australian. The entire world, apart from Japan, Norway and Iceland is opposed to whaling, not just Australia. Sea Shepherd's boat, the Steve Irwin is crewed by volunteers. They do not get paid.

[touchfuzzy]

The Sea Shepherd aren't doing anything illegal, the Japanese are. The Sea Shepherd are doing what is right in the situation.

The Japanese doing even fish in their own waters much so the fish argument is bullshit. Cetaceans are fucking poisonously bad to eat and endangered, there is no reason to keep hunting them.

[a7broken7angel7]

whgo ever made this game is going to meet my fist in their face.

[Garg27]

Isn't it funny how it's always "save the whale" types that have absolutely no sense of humour and can't notice irony is it was 60 foot tall, covered in neon and smacked them in the head. Probably with whale meat.

Please.

[a7broken7angel7]

lol my brother sent this to me knowing I wouldent like it.

[decyx2]

It's called satire. It's not endorsing whale hunting.

[lilhonki]

its not the whalers thats causing the problem, its the demand. As long as theres a demand for whale meat, there will always be a supply even through underground means.

But of course it is very difficult, cos eating whale helps to cure people with small penises.

[cybersalad]

Hah!

I ate some whale in Japan this past summer (not to cure any ailments!) and it doesn't taste very good at all. Especially considering how expensive it is. I don't get the demand--must be a cultural thing.

[lilhonki]

you must eat more to find out friend, eating big whale make you big strong underneath

[AoEHere]

I was able to learn how terrolist earn money...

It is contribution from an ignorant kind person.

Sea Shepherd is liar.

AND

PLEASE DON'T EAT KANGAROO IF YOU DON'T EAT WHALE.

[bigfatho]

Kangaroos are pests, whales are endangered. There is a difference.

[NergiZed]

They may be pests over there, but I still thinks they're a pretty cool and unique animals.

Send America some Kangeroos, we'll send you Dear, Bears and Groundhogs; we'll have a pest exchange! :P

[AoEHere]

Racist Australia and Japanese whaling

Somebody made this video, but he is not Japanese.

He is an Asian of another country.

When I went to the Australia, I surrounded the bonfire together with the kangaroo.

It was very wonderful experience.

[m0n0RAIL]

I am not Australian, I am Irish. If you must resort to an ad-hominem argument then at least attack the right person.

[Marisueksu]

This is AWESOME.  Hahahahahahaha

[Oberonian]

Save the whales dudes and duettes!

[Kiata]

LOL im gonna do this in real life, the game said i could. ROFL

[Gruelius]

My favourite part is the stage where its loaded onto the boat and "researched".... lfmao!

[mechanicator]

this is awesome - great irony !!

[earthhour]

Xlnt....

[derBene]

I like the direction where this heading. Also pretty nice made game :D

[ANDKLEIVA63]

Este video es totalmente deplorable, en un mundo donde le enseñamos a nuestros hijos a cuidar nuestro medio, no puede haber gente que use su mente para crear destrucción, obvio que existen y lo hacen por dinero. Pero tanto las personas que las matan, como las que diseñan estos juegos deberían estar en la cárcel, de donde no deberían salir. Mi npuntaje a esto es mi total repudio

[TurkeyFried]

El juego es una parodia.

確かに鯨は、食べるには利口過ぎる生き物。

だから私も食べない。

でも、鯨保護団体は寄付金でセレブ生活してる事実を世界は知って­るのだろうか！！！？？？

[yamashirofighter]

This game makes me hungry for whale meat.

[ParrryHottter]

the game has cetacean in the title, yet you only get to kill whales?

where the dolphins at? i would gladly "research" them too

[nolomorte]

I see this game as tonque in cheek humour against whaling not pro-whaling. Just shows how ludicrous the "Scientific Researching" is. Good work.

[familyfriendly]

oh my god, how could you!

5 stars, dood.

[RenegadePaladin]

And the point flies right over your head. Not that I'd expect anything less from someone with such a username.

[bushidowhaler]

Dude you don't make games of Nazis killing Jews to make a point that it's wrong. That is just bad taste.

[dejawolf]

sure you do.

[SquigglyP]

why not? They make movies about Nazi's killing Jews to point out how wrong it is. Why couldn't you do the same with a game?

[sparhwk]

I think with the pressure game developers are under to set an example (after the like of Manhunt, GTA etc) that will never happen. I sort of see the link, but Nazis aren't still killing jews, whaling is a huge problem now, and the word must be spread.

[MAUL0r1]

have you even tried whale meat? it's in good taste if you ask me.

[Gruelius]

Id rather keep whales around.

[MAUL0r1]

I'd rather keep them around too, just dead... and in cans.

is anyone else catching on to the sarcasm here? This game is a commentary and is not to be taken as promotional material for whaling.

[Gruelius]

Ah i didnt realise you were being sarcastic lol

[decyx2]

Does the word satire mean anything to you?

[FissionCat]

Poor whales. However the game is awesome!

[davidrush85]

Yeah this game is actually fun.

[Taby666]

I love sarcasm to expose human stupidity.

Super Scientific!!

[twiddlev1]

This is so excellent.

[PallIngi]

Mmmm, Whale meat. Needs more dolphins too!

[jonsend]

Fantastic way to highlight/take the piss out of the Japanese (research) whaling policy (for research) - I applaud you!

[m0n0RAIL]

Thanks for your comment. Please forward this video on to your friends to spread the word about whaling, and don't forget to download the game too - it's super-scientific fun!
