Sept 3 - Running With Scissors Sponsors Female Pro Gaming Team! - Click Here To Comment
Running With Scissors, creators of the legendary POSTAL video game series, has announced its sponsorship of Olga Pak’s competitive gaming team. The all-female, Russian-based clan that Pak founded in 2003 recently made it all the way to the Electronic Sports World Cup (ESWC) finals in San Jose, CA. The finals involve teams from 50 different countries in several game categories and as part of the sponsorship the Russian girls are wearing the logo for next year’s POSTAL III on their t-shirts, trunks and jackets.
“Hot Russian girl gamers,” remarked RWS Czar Vince Desi, “how can you go wrong? It will be a pleasure to see our logo on their asses.”
Hooked Gamers: "The reputation of the six man strong Running With Scissors team is hardly that of choir boys. It was clear that the two that were present in Leipzig had partied too much the night before. If product manager Mike Jaret felt as hung-over as he looked, it is a small miracle that he could sit up straight in the first place."
“Own a piece of history! Only buying the DVD will get you the full complete outrageous movie and game, sadly the rental version is edited down and doesn’t include the infamous Postal games-so don’t get beat renting it.” explained Vince Desi. “The Postal Movie on DVD means EVERYONE will have the opportunity to see it, even Usama Bin-Laden from his cave won’t want to miss this."
Hablar de Postal es hablar de delicadeza jugable, de tiernas florecitas en una campiña verde poblada por seres felices, que se ayudan unos a otros a construir su granero, o a asistir en los partos de las vaquitas. Bucólico y sensible, Postal III vuelve para no dejar a nadie indiferente, y como las anteriores entregas, será recomendable para jugar en familia, pudiendo desmembrar alegremente a nuestros enemigos con la última arma engendro que se les ha ocurrido a los chicos de Running with Scissors.
Postal Babe artist Chris Holm and the God of mods, Kamek, attended the 2008 San Japan festival where Chris held his own Q&A panel labeled the "Inspirational Lecture for Aspiring Artists" where he met lots of hot chicks and sold t-shirts that he designed exclusively for the event!

On his trip to Israel, Mike Jaret was interviewed by a local video game website where he discussed our recently released free Postal 2: Share The Pain multiplayer download and answers questions regarding the shitty, I mean excellent director Uwe Boll, he also reveals exclusive information regarding Postal 3 and the Postal movie.
Fans of violent video games and gory movies rejoice! Notorious Russian Director and friend of Akella, Andrey Iskanov has created a Gorehound's wet dream come true! Have you ever heard anybody ask what the goriest movie ever made is? You can now tell them about "Philosophy of a Knife". Be warned though, this is a very rough and vile, yet historically accurate movie that not everyone will be able to handle. If you are up for the challenge and would like to exercise you mind and your stomach, then get your barf bucket ready because you're in for quite a gory shocker! Read my review first and decide for yourself if you are ready to test your limits!
At the Hoboken International Film Festival this year’s surprise success was “Postal,” a zany, scattershot comedy based on the eponymous, long-running video game franchise from Running With Scissors. Nominated in five categories, “Postal” copped the Best Director nod for independent filmmaker Uwe Boll and then walked off with the coveted Best of Festival Award, the latter prize given to the entry determined by the audience as its favorite.
Buffalo.com: "Mr. Desi, your gaming company, Running With Scissors, has confronted and overthrown every threat to your company's existence imaginable: games being pulled from store shelves, lawsuits from the United States Postal Service, Senator Lieberman... are there any major differences you've discovered in being censored from movie theaters, as opposed to being censored in the video game community?"
Vince Desi: "Censorship is evil in any form. While the players may be different, it's all the same, some individuals or parties have a common agenda and any small entity that threatens them will be harmed. Although I do believe that ultimately the love for greed and gain will overcome their pseudo moral positions. It's amazing what people will do for money, especially if they think they can get away with it. Fact is the movie is still playing and will continue to open in more theatres."
VD: We’re Running With Scissors, the developers that first let you shoot innocent people, set them on fire, commit suicide to quit, piss on people, the cat silencer, the boomerang machete, Postal Babes, Champ and Krotchy. I think it's fair to say over the past decade we have shown the world that game development doesn’t have to be boring and repetitive.
CD: What's one bit of information that has not been released about Postal III that you can share with us?
"With the release of "Postal," which makes the early work of John Waters seem like the family classics of Frank Capra, Uwe Boll stakes a strong claim to being the world's most offensive. I mean that in a good way. "Postal" is a foul and horrifying movie, a classic of its kind. I laughed pretty much non-stop, cringing in shame and yet cackling helplessly nevertheless.
The Dude finds Dave in bed with three naked women. There follows a bathroom scene that I will not describe. A picture like "Postal" is the reason the midnight-movie circuit was created. "
