Vince Desi Spreads His Holiday Joy (on your face)
What are these holidays all about?
First and most important I’d like to thank all our fans and everyone else who has supported us and helped us get to this point in POSTAL and RWS history.
Now here’s how I feel about the holidays this 2007. Thanksgiving at my house was great, I did all the cooking, it was a small crowd only 6 adults, so we had over 30 pounds of meat, it was beautiful. I’m looking forward to decorating my house with Christmas lights, Reindeer, Santa Claus, and a Nativity scene too.
When I think of Christmas, I think of going to Church for a beautiful Christmas Mass with my family when I was young. We always had a live tree, not too big, no fancy stand, my dad would nail it to a wooden board so it would stand up, most years, we had to tie it to the doorknob to keep it kinda straight. My mom made sure my sister and I got one toy we loved, the rest was pot luck. My mom would make tea and a slice of Entenmanns cake for the big guy in the red suit; it was a beautiful time in my life, and in the history of our nation. It was the ‘50’s.
Originally, I was goin to write about how Christmas sucks now, Santa can’t say HO HO HO, he can’t be a big fat guy, he can’t be white, we can't have baby Jesus in the manger, but you know what? Go out and rent a copy of “Miracle on 34th St.” Santa smoked and drank in that classic of classics, and we all loved it. Now one more thing, if I see a skinny black guy in a red suit saying Ha Ha Ha, I know he's not Santa, he's a Pimp.
Wishing everyone, even our enemies, a very merry Christmas and a great New Year... oh and one more thing: ‘Peace on earth’.

Running With Scissors is still the biggest and baddest example of nonconformity in the game industry -- an industry that continues to be homogenized as dev costs rise and mainstream consumers get catered to. These guys aren't afraid to think outside the box; in fact, they'd rather shit inside that box and do their own thing! Some of the best and most misunderstood artists in history have danced the line between art and obscenity. I'd place Running With Scissors among them.Yes, a screenshot or a video clip of Postal could shock and disturb you, but those games go way deeper than that. It's about the player's choice and his own morality; play it how you feel. At the same time, it's just a freakin' game! You can turn it off and resume business as usual, with your recommended daily allowance of catharsis healthily ingested! No harm, no foul.
As AC/DC would say, "RWS has got the biggest balls of them all!" I anxiously await what those crazy bastards will do next!
