Postal III Big Hit At Random Tuscon Comic Convention

3:40AM Mike Fahey | The first annual Tuscon Comic Con took place this past Saturday in Tuscon, Arizona, and Postal developer Running With Scissors was there as the only, and perhaps last video game company represented at the show. Confused fans were given a preview of the upcoming Postal III, and while their ‘lovable’ mascot Krotchy was banned they still let studio head Vince Desi attend. Go figure. RWS character Krotchy wasn’t permitted entry due to the large number of under-18 year olds. However, copies of the M rated “Postal” DVD were given away as prizes because “that’s the way we roll,” explained RWS’ own Iron Man, Vince Desi, adding: “”Holy Crap, Batman! Tucson’s first Comic Con was Da-sheet.” Then, turning briefly serious, Desi concluded, “It’s a real boner… I mean honour for RWS to be a part of this premier event.” More »

Postal Movie Out On DVD – Everybody Hide

1:20AM Mike Fahey | Uwe Boll’s epic masterpiece Postal has now been released on the unsuspecting DVD purchasing public, complete with a Uwe commentary, deleted scenes, special features, and a copy of Postal 2 for the PC. The news is so unexciting that even bombastic Running With Scissors boss Vince Desi can barely muster a crude joke about it. “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”. The DVD version carries an MSRP of $US 26.99, with the Blu-ray version at $US 34.99, but Amazon has the DVD for $US 22.99 and the Blu-ray at an extremely cheap $US 19.99, plus you get the benefit of not having to show your face in a store.

Jizz Mopping Through The Dildo Wonderland

10:00AM Brian Ashcraft | Postal III ups the Postal bar. And that’s not easy! Sure, the upcoming third-person Postal title features franchise standards like setting people on fire and shooting the crap outta everything. Postal III offers new weapons like the Badger Saw. (Instead of simply carrying around a chainsaw, the Postal Dude packs a large badger, which he uses to shred people to bits.) This time around, the Postal Dude gets his first job in a porn shop/strip club, working as a jizz mopper with a vacuum cleaner strapped to his back. The Postal Dude sucks up drenched tissues and can fire them at things like portly soccer mums who are protesting porn or pole dancing strippers, drenching both in, um, white goo. However! It’s not possible to suck up porn shop dildos or butt-plugs or fists with the vacuum cleaner. Running With Scissors honcho Vince Desi says: More »

Village Person Gets Postal III Appearance

2:00AM Brian Crecente | Randy “The Cowboy Guy In The Village People” Jones will be appearing in the upcoming shooter Postal III, Running With Scissors announced today. Jones will appear as the leader of a gay biker gang in the game. Good to see that Postal isn’t into type casting or anything. When not appearing in Postal III video games, Jones is still plugging away on his music career with a new CD and international concert tour. Starting this weekend he will also be starting in the Broadway musical Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat. Hmmm, I wonder which of these he’s not going to put on his resume. Full release on the jump. More »

Postal Blu-ray Coming In August

1:30AM Mike Fahey | Statistically speaking, the chance of you catching Uwe Boll’s Postal in the theatre is extremely low, and now that we are all feeling either saddened or mildly bemused at his plight with the film adaptation of Running With Scissors’ over-the-top game franchise I’m sure we’re itching to catch the film when it hits retail outlets. We’ll have our chance on August 26th, the day newbie blu-ray publisher UMVD Visual Entertainment has slated for the high-definition release. High-Def Digest has an interesting description for the release in their announcement post. More »

Verne Troyer Calls Out Indiana Jones

2:20AM Mike Fahey | I’m not sure if I pity Verne Troyer or envy him. Here is a tiny little man who makes a living being a smaller, more abrasive version of other people. People dress him up as say, Indiana Jones, and then film him saying things like, “This is a message for Indiana Jones. I’ll fuck you up!” in his little tiny voice. It’s all part of a contest over at the Postal movie’s MovieSet web page, which plays up the “hopelessly outclassed” marketing angle Uwe Boll’s people have cooked up. After watching the clip you are challenged to guess what’s in Verne’s sack for a chance to win the contents, but I don’t think any of us really want to know what Verne is carrying around in his sack. Best just to hit the link, view the clip, and leave such questions unpondered. Mini Indy Calls Out Big Indy [Postal MovieSet] More »
