Just got a press release directly from Running With Scissors CEO Vince Desi (above). It mentions that the company’s game Postal is mentioned in the latest Bourne novel The Bourne Betrayal, written by Eric Van Lustbader. (Bourne creator Robert Ludlum passed away in 2001). The Postal franchise finds its way onto page 270. In the book, a young gang banger is given a gun in thanks for not ratting out some arsonists. The kid decides to use the weapon because he: “already had some experience with blowing people’s heads off playing Postal 2…”
Vince Desi has openly declared to “perform a BJ in gratitude — that is, a Bourne Job.” Using lame puns and reinforcing negative gaming stereotypes, that’s our Desi.
