Vince & Mike J Mobbed By Fans at VGL, Deviant Fan Art, A Reviewer who "gets it", POSTAL On YouTube, Plus: Our First Nazi Babe!
VGL: Back In The USA
What started as the first USA performance of Video Games Live since the show returned from a world tour could have turned into a mob scene, as video game fans crowded the autograph tables after the show and security guards paired up to walk some overly aggressive POSTAL fans back into line to wait their turn. They were in line to see who was at the table that helped contribute to the success of their favorite game franchise, POSTAL. During the show, which is a beautiful blend of symphony and technology, POSTAL was mentioned by name, after which a good-sized portion of the crowd stood up and applauded. They knew this game, and had come to the event wanting to see it featured. After the performance, during the meet-and-greet, Mike J and Mark Shander signed posters and T-Shirts and listened to the impact the game had on fans. Not only did many share their love for the game, but for the culture and community that had been built around it.
That culture is hardcore gaming combined with a great respect for people that are different than they are, and their relentless fanaticism for more product from RWS, the company that created POSTAL.
