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.”
Uwe Boll must be on cloud nine, maybe even ten or eleven.
Running with Scissors just announced that his Postal film won not one, but two awards at the Hoboken International Film Festival. Boll took home $AU 530 cash money for the best director award, beating out the directors of films like Crazy, Strange Girls, The Sensei and Flyboys. Oh, snap! Boll beat out D. Lee Inosanto!!!
Postal also was named the best of the festival despite showings of The Noogies, In The Eyes of a Killer, Predator’s Return and The Pack.
“I was laughing, and I was like ‘Wow, I’m laughing.”
Vince Desi wants to get something straight right from the get go: Uwe Boll’s Postal movie isn’t a masterpiece, but it is, he thinks, at least entertaining.
The funny thing is that it probably wouldn’t have even been that if it weren’t for Boll’s decision early on to mostly ignore the treatment that Postal developer Running With Scissors turned in and take the film in a different direction.
RWS’s take was a hardcore action flick, something filled with “Postal scenes”, something that even the Running With Scissors guys admit, isn’t Boll’s forte.
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.
Full release after the jump.
