Make sure that you check out the new and constantly improving GoPostal.com website if you haven't been there lately. Lots of fascinating new content and you can expect new material to appear on a regular basis. Meanwhile, allow us to introduce the latest URINAL column, in which we track the doings of our fellow POSTALites.  POSTAL fan Stan Blutarski sent us a great story last week regarding the kind of violation of free expression that doesn't make the media. We were outraged at the incidents he describes but cracked up reading his explanation of how it all went down. Take over, Stan! "I absolutely love POSTAL - even if my school doesn't. I was caught playing the game on my OWN laptop at school, and got suspended for it!" Tsk, tsk, that is just terrible. But the saga doesn't end there. Two days later, the following follow-up found its way into our offices: "Hey, sorry for bothering you again, but I have yet another report on the suspension thing for playing POSTAL 2. I now have to attend two meetings with the counselor next week because when the principal saw me playing, I was getting killed. Quietly. Fucking assholes. I am normally a quiet and reserved person, but I was unaware that the principal was looking over my shoulder at the time, so I went on a shovel killing spree. And I pissed on one of the dead people I had whacked. At this point, the principal became outraged. I explained quite reasonably: "I was mad, he shot me." Then I smoked a Health Pipe, which the principal, who obviously fancies himself an expert on the subject, decided was a crack pipe. "This all led to a meeting with my parents, who took the game away. They had originally bought it for my birthday for God's sake! They also agreed to put me in counseling for two days. And when they threw the game away, I almost cried. Fortunately, I'm 18 and will be moving out of my parents' house in another two months. So, pending my scoring a job, I will soon be purchasing another copy of POSTAL 2." In fact, Stan's name isn't really Stan. He asked that we not use his name or town because "the school already thinks I'm a psycho." Sure, quietly playing a game on your own laptop, bothering no one - THAT makes you a PSYCHO? In any case, we honor your anger at this outrageous incident and all POSTAL fans stand behind you! In closing, he wrote that, despite the fact that he had to shield his identity, "I want this story brought to the public's view. I whole-heartedly believe that this game is A LOT less violent than GTA, or many other games out there. This game is taken in good humor. I know that me and my friends regard it in that spirit, whereas GTA was taken WAY to seriously." We get fan reviews of our games every once in a while and thought we'd share one with you. Brian Anderson from the Big Apple writes, with regard to POSTAL 2: "This is my second review of this game. But I felt the need to write another to all those browsing the site who don't know about POSTAL 2 (though why they would be browsing this site in that case, I have no idea...). Anyway, this game is DELISCIOUSLY EVIL AND SAVAGELY FUN. "This is how all games should be. It has state-of-the-art graphics, great humor, terrific and over the top gameplay, absurd and ass-kicking physics, and Gary Coleman... NUFF SAID. Now please Buy This Game and support RWS so they can make POSTAL 3... and if not you can just die." Sounds reasonable to us. Or, to paraphrase a classic line from the great HBO series "Deadwood," anyone who plays P2 and doesn't like it sucks cock by choice. Bravo, Brian! Anyone who doubts the strength of our POSTAL Army should be aware of proud POSTAL fan Hank Segura.

Anyone with complaints regarding P2 or any of the add-on disks should get in touch with Mr. Segura and he'll straighten you out. Literally. And from you, the fans, we have some wicked art coming in all the time, you can always check it out the latest stuff in our fan section but here are two sweet recent submissions.
